Troubles finding a screen protector for the Mate 10 in australia - Huawei Mate 10 Accessories

Hey everyone
I am trying to find a screen protector that has a few features
- easy install
- tempered glass/oleo-phobic
I recently bought some nuglass one and the back film that you pull off with the "back" sticker didnt come off, the sticker did but not the film lol i was so confused.
Anyway, i found this video, looks good but the seller on amazon widamin does not ship to australia

And i also heard the Flosmall one was good, but you have an install kit and apparently have to apply adhesive around the edges yourself which kinda makes me nervous
any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the response, my question is which one did you buy and how well did it work, there's so many to choose from and that's the problem, i have tried one from ZUSLABS which didnt workout as i explained in the initial post

I bought tempered glass made from MAXSHIELD.
Its really good cover your whole screen.
I'm satisfied. Though my personal favourite brand is NILLKIN but can't see that for mate 10 hence bought MAXSHIELD for $8

Odd, the last Maxshield one i tried was for my Oppo A73/Oppo F5 ( the phone i had before the mate 10 ), and it fit the screen just fine, but only had adhesive around the top and bottom of the protector, and had this odd grid like pattern that you could see if you turned the phone sideways under light, it also had no oleo-phobic coating/finger print resistance, i ended up removing it and it broke all over the screen.
I guess maybe they upped their quality with the mate 10

Honestly, they all stink. The problem with the ones that have black edges is that they pretty much don't work with a case, as the case will pry the protector off. The Nillkin is the best I've seen and tried, but it doesn't cover the edges because the edges are curved (the ones with black edges are just hiding the curved edge from sight btw).
I spent money on quite a few and sent all of them back except the Nillkin, which actually shattered and I don't know how. I never dropped it. Anyway, pretty much since the start of 2018 I've been going naked. I will admit if you hold my phone up to the light there are 3-4 extremely minor scratches around the bottom right of the screen (which incidentally is where I touch the screen the most with my right thumb).
I know even small scratches bother some people, but it's not like you would ever see them with the screen on or feel them with your finger. I wouldn't even know they were there if I never went looking for them.

What screen protectors do you recommend?

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.

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.

Generic screen protectors!

Can anyone suggest a cheap screen protector maybe you have bought from eBay? If it is possible share a link to where I can purchase it. Please share only products you have tried. I don't want to buy something I don't know well and haven't seen a review of it! Thanks...
I got these tempered glass ones. Two in the package for $6.95. Put one on the phone back in early June still going strong. Hi proper cutout for the proximity sensor and ffc.
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Hardness-Protector-Anti-Scratch-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B01C1TVYVQ
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281828808760
Two tempered glass protectors with proximity cutouts, $4. Feels just like a normal screen.
Installation was easy, carefully clean the screen of all dust and residue then align the tempered glass carefully. Bubbles will dissapear as you press on them, and it's no rush, I had bubbles a few hours after that dissapeared when I applied pressure.
Definitely inspires confidence that it will protect the screen from impacts?
This screen protector from Amazon works great! I personally have this one and it was a perfect fit and saved my phone from a face down drop on cement.

I had a tempered glass from Nillkin at first. Someday I droped it and the tampered glass did its job fine protecting the screen but broke. Then I thought that tempered glasses may break easier than the screen and thus every few drops I loose 10usd for nonreason (the screen never broke without protector, but the protector broke quite easily). So I ordered some tempered glasses from Aliexpress priced just under a dollar. The first one was probably defective and started to get off on one corner. But after that I got it off and applied another. Its perfect now, it feels just like naked screen (same as Nillkin). It broke on face down drop but maybe the exensive one would brake too.
Probably the expensive ones are tougher but they cost 10 times up or more. Does it really worth it?

If you drop your phone that much, quantity is probably more worth it for you than quality
Its not that, but i think that cheap ones do the job so why to pay for an branded one?

Oneplus official silicone case problem

The case attracts a lot of dust whenever I put it in my pocket. I used it for a little bit before the dust problem got really annoying and i bought another tpu case on amazon. Any fixes for the dust problem? I really love the feel of the case and the cutouts are better than the TPU so I want to use it.
Me too facing the same problem, but I have lost that cover. Any idea where to find the official one? It is not available on the website.
hey guys is it true that case is responsible for some negative effect on the matte finish?the matte finish is coming off after using it for around 2-3 weeks?
I've just got the phone this week and I've ordered a ringke onyx case for the phone. I think its best to stay away from the offical case that comes with the phone just to be on the safe side as some users here experienced paint chipping after using the case provided inside the box.
I got the 5t the day it came out and used that stock Silicon case for about 2 months without any sign of paint chipping. It did collect dust like a vacuum. I got 4-5 cases on AliExpress for under $5 each and they too have dust problems. the one I use has a clear plastic back, so I can see it all of the time.
Did drop my phone today and scratched the stock film cover. Pulled it back and it didn't damage the screen, but now I get to research the best film screen, since the last time I researched it, there was no good tempered glass one that didn't have issues

I primarily use this case, and without getting a ruler out, there is about 1/16" on the top of bottom and about 1/32" on the sides with the stock film. (or as much as the coverage past the screen of the stock film)
Ironically, the first link for topace on amazon is a film, not a glass and the glass product has 1 poor review.

The way they did the curved screen on both OP5 Models made nearly all glass screen protectors on the market not very good at fitting. Even the official ones from Oneplus themselves were whack. I tried loads. Best of a bad bunch were the orzly ones, but even those weren't perfect. The phone itself just makes it impossible.

Yes, from what I had read, the orzly and NILLKIN were the best glass, but the edges were the issue.
I used to have some various cheap glass protectors on my S4 and never had the issues people are noting on the various glass protectors for the 5t - reduced touch sensitivity, rainbow effect, hot spots, etc
Honestly, though I have gotten descent at installing screen protectors, I despise putting them on and getting everything perfect, so I am trying to do as much research before hand, so hopefully I only have to do it once.
I got the OnePlus glass when I got the phone, but read the initial reviews and had planned just to keep the stock film on, as it seemed to be doing a good job until I dropped in in the backyard and damaged the film about 1" down and 1" in from the right.

Yes, there's definitely no ideal way to do it. This is why I personally prefer the flat screened phones, as they have none of these issues.
Pity in a way that curved screen phones have become a fad this past year. Last decent looking one that I was tempted to get was the Razer Phone for gaming. (That one's completely flat screen, and generally looked like quite a decent smartphone for alot of other reasons too). It's been out for a while though now, and haven't got round to it yet, but I still might. In the meantime, I'll just struggle on with my OnePlus until it dies (or more likely, 'til my screen breaks!) haha
sorry to hear about you dropping yours though,. that must've been harsh. was it just the film that got damaged, or did any of the actual device's screen underneath get hit?

Yea, about 4ft drop when pushing my kids in the swing to the dirt and debris that settled under the leaves (that I had just moved so they could use the swing for the first time this year.
I was trying to take pictures of them and dropped it
I dug my finger under the corner and peeled back the screen protector past the damage and the screen was clear. It's almost like a rock dug up the surface of the film

Phew! That was close! (it's always a bit unsettling when you see the cracks in a screen protector). With protectors also being transparent, at first it often looks like it's gone right through to the actual screen, until the moment of truth when you remove it afterwards.. (I've had a few scares like that in my time! So I feel ya!) But is a satisfying feeling of relief when you pull the protector off and everything looks good as new underneath.
Anyways, glad you got lucky that time aswell! So far so good!
after 2 months my phone is completely ruined by this case. I should have changed the case earlier.

Good screen protector with fast shipping

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.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/h5.aliexpress.com/item/4001359436459.html
But there loads out now on Wish or Ali. Should be at other vendors very soon as the grows in popularity. Obviously more on these sites due to its Chinese only release
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.

K gonna try a 10 Pro glass protector. Not really out at all these days so no real need.
I bought two glass screen protectors from Aliexpress that you cure with the UV liquid/light. It's the perfect size and leaves very small gaps at the top and bottom of the display.

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.

Question Did you remove your preinstalled screen protector?

Really curious. It's next to impossible to get a replacement here in the states. Does it bother you, or have you left it on? Please respond with your logic as well as answering the poll.
Mi 11 series all have similar screen. Considering early release of mi 11, it shouldn't be a big issue. I received a glass protector in 10 days from China.
And why would you remove it? Is bad?
It depends how you use your phone.
If you "baby" it you should be more than fine.
On my mi9 i have removed for the past year or more. I only have one or two very fine scratches and those are from some drops
So yeah, on general use and being a bit careful ( using a case that would prevent the screen to make contact to the surface) you should be perfectly fine.
I personally have the one that came with the phone still on and will remove it when it gets worn out.

Thanks for this tip. I did a quick look up on GSM arena. Screens seem to be identical size and shape. I went ahead and ordered two packs of protectors from Amazon. They'll be here Sunday.
My original protector got caught on the edge of a dog cage in the most unfortunate scenario ever. My phone was okay but the screen protector had a huge gash in it.
I've gone with no protector for about a week. I've collected one tiny scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and the light hitting it just the right way. I've babied this thing so I'm not sure how it happened. Either way Gorilla glass victus hasn't impressed me all that much.
oleophobic coating on this screen protector is iiiiinsane ! I surprised that no one said that yet. But I hate sharp edges on it.... Gestures and that no good together

Curved screens are a flawed design imo
This is what I would classify as a highly breakable device
Between the weight of it and the slab of glass on the back and the wrap around screen your nearly guaranteed a breakage no matter what side it lands on.....
Gorilla glass Victus is junk compared to whatever is on the iPhone 12 pro
In every drop test I've watched the android phone with Victus smashed and the iPhone survived.... although the iPhone has the benefit of being flat
Yeah ditched the screen protector as soon as I got it.
It looks like a peel off screen protector which you get on new devices.
Colors and sharpness improves a bit and the touch is not plastic feel.
I like the screen protector. It feels almost the same like OnePlus7 Pro without a screen protector.
I keep it as long as possible
Hello do you need to remove originally pre installed plastic film protection before putting a newly bought tempered glass ?? Thanks for answering
Hi - I would not use 2 screen protectors at the same time. So if you want to put tempered glass on you should remove the preinstalled one. Otherwise you can get difficulties with the touch screen. I myself removed the preinstalled immediately and installed another (better) on.
Remove it or not eventually it will come off, better get hands on some tempered glass to protect those expensive curvy screen.
i dropped my phone about a week after buying it, was sick to stomach until i realized that the preinstalled screen protector was cracked but not the actual phone. im pretty sure it saved the phone
Many people think that pre-aplied screen protector is a feature therefore, they expect to see a better quality option. In reality, due to strict laws of EU and return policy of retailers such as Amazon, they want phone to be as much refurbishable as possible with given protection . That is why, we get a cheap quality phone case and screen protector that can barely live 4 weeks of legal limit and are really ugly non-characteristic additions. They have to make it looking boring because other case producers have to earn money too. So, my suggestion is change the original screen protector with a liquid self-repair one and buy a sturdy case for your own sake.
I don't see why you would wanna do that unless it breaks or you wanna install a better sturdier screen protector, keep the old one if it doesn't bother you.
