Did it come with the installation tool that attaches to the Type-C usb on the phone?

I've got the official Xiaomi film type screen protector. Very thin, don't even realize it's on there.

Yes it does.

Is this hard? If you press it with your nail does it get dented?
I had in the past a screen protector that was flexible for a moto 360
watch and this was quite unpleasant (it got easily dented, wvwn though those dent self heal in some minutes/hours)
also, the camera is covered or it has a hole for it?

Got it, dont buy it, it shiet... :/

Skinomi now makes a film screen protector, I HIGHLY recommend it over any other

screen protectors

who's using them? i horribly failed at putting one on today (a free one that came with my case..looked crappy though with tons of bubbles between the 3 layers before i even put it on lol) but yeah, i'm real bad at putting protectors on tablets because it kept coming out crooked because of that damn home button etc.
anyway, i've got a pack of 5 coming in the mail sometime this week, and i'm wondering if i should even bother attempting again, or just use it naked. it feels so good without a protector, but i'm afraid of scratching the screen. i've been using screen protectors since 2011 with my HTC Rezound, so idk what to do. i always end up with tiny scratches on my protectors, so i'm thinking i'll end up scratching the screen..

I always put screen protectors on all of my phones and tablets. I've just put one on my Tab S 8.4, had a few dusts under the protector. usually I would rip it out and try again, but I thought not today! Because fortunately the screen protector came with some stickers to help get rid of the dust.
Happy to say it is dust and bubble free now. Although it is not one of those fancy screen protectors, just a cheap one called elec shield.
invisible shield is the best.

I ordered these from Amazon as well. Should be in today.
I'll give it a try and see if I like it. Probably gonna feel weird at first though.
I too would like to buy one. I asked ismooth on twitter but they are not gonna make one for the tab S (I have one for my note 3 and it's just perfect).
I think I'm gonna go Invisibleshield. It's not cheap but I've only heard good things about their products :good:
anyone have any tricks as to how to get it on nice and straight on the tablets? I'm bad at tablets for protectors but decent at phones. I saw one idea where you place it down on the screen then tape the sides like a hinge, then you flip it over, peel it off, and just flip it back and lay it on the tablet and it should line up perfectly. wonder if it works.

That's exactly what I did. Works perfectly. The screen protector I bought even came with the positioning tape and stickers for dust removal. But you can just use Scotch tapes.
Mr shield
I have used many different screen protector products. I like spigen and I just installed the Mr shield ones. The are two finishes. Clear and matte. The matte finish cuts a lot of glare but impacts out door viewing. I now have the clear and love it. No bubbles. I have several videos on screen protectors that show tips on install . Herr is my initial install http://youtu.be/NHzarYjTtzE

Putting on a screen protector reminds one of what a dirty filthy planet we live on. There is dust EVERYWHERE. One tried and true method is to run a hot shower in your bathroom for 10 minutes with the door closed until the room steams up. This pulls all of the airborne dust from the air. Turn the shower off, and use the tape hinge method to apply the protector.
Despite your best efforts you are likely to STILL get that ONE DAMNED PIECE OF DUST FROM HELL that manages to somehow get on the screen. If that happens, DO NOT TRY TO PEEL THE PROTECTOR UP FROM THE EDGE because if you bend it at all it will never seat again properly and you'll have a bubble that won't go away. Use tape to stick to the outside near the corner and gently lift that way, then use another piece of tape to grab the dust particle.
One negative of putting a screen protector on a tablet this size. Unless the protector is tempered glass, you are likely to feel a bit of drag as you swipe the screen - no plastic will ever feel as smooth as glass - and because the area is larger than your phone, you'll notice the resistance more. Also, unless the screen protector has an oleophobic coating, it will be harder to clean greasy fingerprints of it than from glass. Last point, most screen protectors are actually softer than glass so you are likely to get it pretty scratched up which, while saving your glass, leaves you with a scratched up viewing surface you have to look at. The alternative is to buy a screen protector with a hardness of 9 or above with an oleophobic coating but those tend to be a lot more expensive.
Get a pack of 3 or more if you can. You WILL screw it up a few times and you WILL want to replace them occasionally as they get scratched up pretty easily depending upon how anal you are about such things.
good advice, thanks! but do you guys think this thing needs one in the end? I know gorilla glass is pretty soft and scratches easily so idk..

I don't believe this tablet has Gorilla Glass, at least I don't believe the specs say so (could be wrong?). So yes, it could scratch easily. You can try and be careful but all takes is a tiny bit of grit on your finger, stylus or wiping cloth and you are done, Gorilla Glass or no.
Actually you know, skip the steamy bathroom. Just do it in a dry room but use a strip of masking tape and screen until every bit of dust is gone. Also remember, after you place the protector on the screen with the taped hinge, make sure you clean the screen again because it will get dust on it from the bottom of the protector.
Mr Shield makes very good inexpensive protectors.

Why put a cheap screen protector on a premium device like the tab s. The best deserves the best or better. my screen protector cost 2 for 13 and a tempered glass on is on its way for $18. You cant even tell there on when installed correct.

Be very careful with the tempered glass protector. NEVER left it up by the edges - use tape. They bend VERY easily and once bent will never lay down flat properly again. Every tempered glass protector I've ever used developed sealing problems along the edges, especially near the home button. YMMV but that is my experience.
There aren't good selection of screen protectors in the UK. Looked in Amazon, Ebay, Google, nothing with quality. So I only got the Elec shield.
I'd get tempered glass if I could, but as long as I screen is protected for now, then I'm happy enough.

Recommended screen protectors, and also - tempered glass?

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on purchasing the Nexus 5X in a few days, just need to find the right accessories for it (cables, cases, screen protectors).
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a screen protector that has a cutout for the proximity sensor.
Also, I seriously only found out today there is such a thing as tempered glass. After researching a bit, I learned of it's pros (actually protects your screen if the phone falls) and it's cons (can crack easily for no reason ,poses somewhat of a health risk if breaks).
Pros: http://temperedglassscreenprotector.org/
Cons: http://www.clear-coat.com/blog/why-we-dont-sell-tempered-glass-screen-protectors/
Strangely, all the screen protectors I find on Amazon are tempered glass.
So, which one should I buy (tempered or plastic), and can you recommend a specific screen protector?
I wouldn't say they crack easily, but that'll depend on a bunch of variables. All I can say is it looks good and feels much nicer than the PET/non tempered glass screen protectors. Spigen is a good brand to go with.
Read the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3214188
I recommend the skinomi screen protector, it's not glass. It's the kind that feels like rubber and applied via water. I love these.
How you apply it with water? They can get to te mic's, no? You have safe way to do that?
Hi, Im very pleased with Nexus 5X Screen Protector, Spigen® [Crystal] Full HD, I used to have it on my Nexus 5 and I was so satisfied that I bought it again for my N5x. Feels like glass, perfecly cutted you have 3x screen protector included, dust removal and positionning tool to hlelp perfect use. At least two times saved my screen on my old nexus 5. And almost nobody noticed that Im using a screen protector....
I've played around with a few screen protectors over the years, including some tempered glass ones. I can show you some reviews I've written, if you're interested.
Most of the cheap glass options are /not/ multicoated. What that means is, while they might be very difficult to scratch, they will cause some reflections, way more than the bare screen. Also, one of the coatings applied in modern multicoating is an oleophobic coating. That means a layer which helps the glass reject oils, including the skin oils on your fingertips. So applying a glass screen protector usually means you'll have to clean your screen way more often, and also that it will be considerably more difficult to actually clean the screen.
If you're dead-set on a screen protector, I highly recommend you find yourself a multicoated option. These will be no less than $20 even on sale. They can be $30+ normally.
Personally, I trust Corning Gorilla Glass 3 as sufficient in this generation. You might get a scratch or two over a few year span, but, virtually everything your phone will meet won't be hard enough to damage the glass.

You apply a thin layer them squeeze out the excess. It's incredibly easy to retry if you set it wrong the first time. You can push the water away from the mic and speaker and use a cloth to dab up any excess water.

I've been using glass screen protectors since May 2014. I swear by them. They don't crack easily like Clear Coat claims. I've only had to replace them twice. Once because an edge got pulled up months later so there was a air gap on one side. The second time, it actually did crack but that was after falls with a TPU case on. As many others have stated, with tempered glass screen protectors, that will crack before the actual glass of the screen does. And good ones don't shatter into little pieces like Clear Coat says. On the two replacements, I broke them fully and the pieces stay together. Also I really like the glass feel. Not sure how non-glass screen protectors feel though. Back when invisibleSHIELD was popular, that tacky feel wasn't nice.

Exactly. I think of it similar to a crumple zone in a car. It will absorb some of the force before the phone's glass does. Now of course, with a great amount of force like dropping it from 10 feet or throwing it, I'm sure both the screen protector and the phone's glass would break. Regular accidental drops should work out the way I described.
As for outdoor visibility, there's no noticeable decrease in brightness or increase in glare. All of the manufactures usually advertise something like 99.9% transparency.
Here's an interesting tempered glass screen protector review. Cued up exactly on the drop test to rocks and removal:
https://youtu.be/UnvC6EERMyI?t=2m21s
Keep in mind that plastic protects better than glass and plastic does not need to be replaced where as most drops will break a glass protector. It is made from a thin easily breakable material after all.
The reason to pay roughly 10x as much for glass is because it feels much nicer on your finger. Plastic can also cause rainbow like reflections and can be a bit harder to apply than one solid piece.
However glass costs a lot more upfront and in the long run to replace. A plastic protector is about $1 and if applied properly won't ever need to be replaced.

Yes plastic ones don't break break or need to be replaced but I don't think they provide the same impact protection in absorbing drops. You'll probably have a screen broken under the intact plastic screen protector.

I have no background on the subject but just thinking about it logically, I don't think glass can be as protective as plastic.
For instance RhinoShield only offers plastic screen protectors. Their test videos show how easily GG would break from certain impacts and how much plastic protects it. Even the best tempered glass can only hope to be as strong as GG.
My basic understanding of the situation is glass protectors work because it breaks and saves the screen underneath, where as plastic works by actually strengthening the glass itself.
However for each time the glass protector breaks and needs to be replaced, the plastic would keep on trucking.
I think the misunderstanding arises when a user drops their phone with a glass protector and it breaks thus "saving" their screen. But what if they had plastic? Would the screen of broken then? What if they had no protector? We can't say for sure what the results would have been. However to the user that is a clear indication of the glass protector working, where as I would say that's only a clear indication of the glass protector breaking easily.

Right. That's how I see it as a user. Also, the clarity, feel, and scratch resistance can't be matched by plastic.

I've actually dropped my 5x naked just once so far and got lucky without any cracks, but I do believe if I had a glass SP it would've broken. In the end I think it's luck and a good case that will protect from a bad drop as the screen protector is mainly for scratch protection. I've kept my glass SP as a backup in case the factory oleophobic coating stops working as effectively.

Best tempered glass / screen protector film for huawei P10 lite

I'm going crazy to find a screen protector / tempered glass for this phone.
All I get left / lifted by the edge. I assume you have to be shorter than the screen, but the unglued border is horrible.
Any suggestion for tempered glass? I have tried several, the included original nillkin and all the same happens to him.
The images are from the nillkin tempered glass, but I've tried others with the same result.
Same here looking for a tempered glass that covers whole screen without side bubbles
I've bought this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/35204215721...49&var=621535350962&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT but although it is easy to apply and you get no bubbles, the oleo-phobic coating is a joke. It's a real fingerprint magnet. After one day's usage it's always dirty.

First, it's not exactly glue, it's some kind of liquid, but it's not a glue.
This liquid doesn't damage the screen, it is easily wiped and the protector can be replaced with new without problems in the future.

The glue comes in the package. It really removes the white edges, but the glue (or whatever it is) on the back of the screen protector is terrible. It simply won't stick to the display nice. There are so many "holes" that are not glued. I tried both protectors that came in the package, and had the problem with both.
I ordered PanzerGlass Full Frame tempered glass screen protector. I'll give my opinion on that one too. :laugh:
I've tried several tempered glass protectors for the Huawei P10 Lite, and all of them have a rim around the edges where the glass won't stick ("halo") because the screen curves and the glass is too rigid to curve with the screen. It's been a real annoyance. I tried a Brotect AirGlass protector that is the same size as the tempered glass protectors, but has enough flexibility to curve with the screen. It's not perfect with a very slight unstuck rim of about 0.5mm, but it's much better than the tempered glass protectors. The AirGlass has to be precisely positioned to minimise the rim, and I found that I had to lift and reposition it a couple of times. I did this using stickers from a spare Omoton protector that I had because the AirGlass doesn't come with stickers to aid repositioning (although I think you can use sellotape - not tried it).
Anyone has a successfull protector to advise. So far they all seem to be terrible.
Like I said, I ordered PanzerGlass screen protector and it's on my device for over 2 weeks now. I can say that this is by far the best tempered glass screen protector I got. There are no white edges, and it is full coverage.

This is in fact not the problem with the tempered glass. It is due to the curved glass on redmi 4x which is called as 2.5D glass which will be slightly bent at the edges. When a traditional tempered glass is applied to the screen, as the glass is flat at the center, the tempered glass adheres perfectly, while the ends are bent but the tempered glass is not. This is the reason the tempered glass always leaves air gaps at the edges. I would prefer the old school model plastic screen protector that is available on mi.com for our beloved redmi 4x. Just give it a try and you won't even feel like you have a screen protector on the screen. The only intention in this screen protector is to protect the screen from scratches that are likely to appear due to object playing around in the pockets along with the phone. This screenguard will not protect the screen from drops. You will definitely need to rely on your luck about breaking the glass from waist height of an average height guy.
thanks for your reply
i know about the 2.5D (or rounded edges) of the Redmi4x, but in my case the glass manufacturer circumvented to this problem by making protective glasses slightly smaller than the phone glass like 3mm on each border, so beside the increased difficulty to position it, it should have skipped the edges radius. But even with the 3mm skip i still had non sticky parts. (sku 209626001 from gearbest)
Indeed plastic models should minimise this issue but they are so soft ! After one week in the pocket with scratching things like keys they look so bad that they are already good to be replaced. So except if some technological revolution happened for plastic screen protector since the Mi2/S time, i think i'll live without screen protection at all

Ok thanks
Im using one of that "hybrid" screen protectors, the center is made of tempered glass and the edges made of some durable material, one claims for carbon fibers, the other for Kevlar. sorry i do not have a link for what i bought, but it looks exactly like the one in that link : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-lot-For-Xiaomi-Redmi-4X-3D-Carbon-Fiber-Screen-Film-Anti-Scratch-Tempered-Glass-Screen/32821140687.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.29.uQibKQ&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_10345_10342_51102_10343_10340_10341_10609_10541_10084_10083_10307_10312_10313_10059_10314_10534_100031_10604_10103_10605_10594_10107_10142,searchweb201603_12,ppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=72b8e48c-88c1-4470-9f38-f193a555b5e0-4&algo_pvid=72b8e48c-88c1-4470-9f38-f193a555b5e0&rmStoreLevelAB=5
it comes with colored edges, gold, black and white so you can use black or gold on white phone and vice versa. because the edges made of flex material, it sits perfect on the screen and have a nice curve edges all round. my have 98% coverage of the original screen, there is a 0.2 mm of gap between the two. in use on my device for about two month's now, having two falls on asphalt from about 70 cm, right on the corner, nothing happens yet. no scratches yet, as i say, i don't have a link for what i bought, i remember it was an unknown Chinese brand. hope it helps.
Why are all of the links aliexpress? (i don't have a problem with it just i prefer ebay/amazon)

Isn't it the cheapest that way? Just thinking.
Also, about topic - what do You think about 3mk 3D flexible glass for RN4X? Is it worth it? I would love to get as much protection as possible since I basically drowned my previous phone (UMI C Note) in worktime when I was washing 1 cubic meter containers with the pressure cleaner. Phone was in my pocket all the time, but just small stream of water on fingerprint scanner (inb4 you are a dumbass) ruined everyting.

Hi buczek,
have you tried the mentioned above FlexibleGlass? What are your thoughts on it?
there are much different quality of tempered glass in the market. some of tempered glass screen protector is with poor adhesive glue, it's easy to come off. some tempered glass screen protector is easy to be broken. our company supply high quality tempered glass screen protector, it's with high adhesive A/B glue, up to 9H hardness tempered glass material, anti scratch and anti shatter, protect your screen effectively.

Here in New Delhi I am able to get a variety of glass based screen protectors costing between ₹15-₹50 per piece. Yes they aren't as effective as those super costly ₹800 one 's but still are very good. It's just that they don't come in any fancy packaging and cleansing wipes
use nano glass,its good fit
Can anyone recommend a tempered glass that has not an insane amount of reflection effect? I bought one from a seller on Ali and it is just like a mirror, making it more annoying to use and harder to see in the sun. ali or ebay

Seconded.
The same happened to me. Also it gets dirty very easily and make the screen significantly darker.
I use these. They fit perfectly.

There's no quality screen protectors made from glass available for this model. I already spent like 50$ on them and none of them lasted long and all of them was defective in one or other way. The first one I bought (from Mocolo) with colored edges did come off on it's own after about a week of very light use. Do yourself a favor and listen to my advice... Buy some plastic screen film instead of this cheap crap and save yourself a lot of nerves and money.

glass or plastic screen protector? (xz1)

It seems like there are quite a lot reviews saying because of the curved screen, there is adhesive only at the edge so some people say there are issues with dust getting into the center part and reflection issues.
So is plastic films a better option?
If not, is there a brand that is found to work with XZ1?
Thanks

Plastic is fine to avoid scratches but avoid breakage. Glass is fine to avoid scratches and breakage. My phone(s) slipped out of my hand or fall down for other reasons, till now only the glass protector was broken not the screen.

Seems there is a full glue but plain screen protector from nillkin. This protector saved 2 times the screen of my wifes xz.
seems that on sony mobile forum an user found it tricky
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ1/Screen-Protector-for-Xperia-XZ1/td-p/1269143
Anyone's got experience with ultimate shield and whether it is problematic as well?

Buy a glass one that is full coverage, and use LOCA glue for it. I personally bought "Screen Protector for Sony Xperia XZ1, Olycism Full Coverage" and "Octopus Glue - Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive (LOCA)" and it looks perfect (except for a tiny bubble which I would have removed, but sadly I didn't notice it until after the glue cured. As for the glue itself, you need around 1.5 milliliters of it. Just make sure you don't put more than 1.5 milliliters or you might end up with glue inside the earpiece.
Do you have any pictures of that?

Sorry for the very late (1 month late) reply, I don't come here often. Excuse the terrible quality, as these were taken using my Nexus 4 from 2012:
https://imgur.com/a/nwq3a
Notice how the Sony logo is hard to see and much whiter than the surrounding area, that is because I didn't apply LOCA glue to the logo just in case it leaked into the earpiece. If you do use LOCA glue make sure you don't overdo it because if it gets into the earpiece you're basically screwed.
I've tried over 4 different tempered glass protectors and 3 of them still had the adhesive side issues (not fully placed on the side so it leaves an "unadhesived" portion all around the sides). The one that completely covered everything was the Dooqi Full Curved 3D one previously reviewed here BUT there is a visible rainbow colored spot in the middle that doesn't go away. The 3 I've tried were the Nillkin H+PRO, Khaos Tempered Glass 6-pack and regular Dooqi Premium Tempered Glass. This is just hopeless finding a good tempered glass protector. I don't really want regular screen film or the hassle of having to use glue on the protector

I tried only one from Moodie full cover curved (German brand). Probably rebranded Dooqi, cause same as yours it's full covered but rainbow spots. And the screen seems dull, oleophobic is non existent. So I'm looking for the best one and on Sonymobile forum, someone recommended Japanese brands Deff and Rasta Banana. Found one review about Deff on Amazon.jp. But only one star. Well, kinda a relieve cause ordering international seems complicated. Rasta Banana review is on a Chinese site. But it seems more like product advertising.
On reddit xperia I stumbled on a Youtube review, presumably the best xz premium screen protector. The guy says he tried many screen protectors too.
There is a xz1 version too. But it uses custom adhesive. Not sure about it, but tutorial looks very easy and from the comments it's easy to remove too. It's from InvisShield.
I'll give it a shot or there is another full curved from Brando Workshop. But not sure if I won't get the rainbow spots again. I hate to get the same one lol.

I don't understand why you two keep doing the same thing over and over, stop buying those types of protectors already. What you need to do is either buy one of these:
http://www.sgfreshidea.com/invisshi...1-full-adhesive-tempered-glass-clear-set.html
Or if you're brave enough like me, buy your own LOCA glue and 'curved' glass screen protector and apply it yourself. My application came out perfectly, as you can see with these blurry pictures:
