Any screen protectors that don't suck?

Skinomi worked great for me ...I got the full body kit n I love it

How does the full body Skinomi look on the back? I am using the Skinomi screen protector with Boonix clear case. The case plays nicely with the screen protector, but the back has a slightly raised dot matrix pattern that prevents it from sticking to the back of the phone, but detracts from the beauty of the glossy ceramic back. I really wish I could find a simple bumper case that just goes around the edges of the phone. I've been pleasantly surprised with the Skinomi screen protector. It doesn't feel as nice as tempered glass, but is much less of a fingerprint magnet that some of the glass protectors that I've used. It was also very forgiving of little installation problems, like a couple dust particles that I was able to remove by peeling back the film, removing the dust and then applying a little more liquid. I have had no issues with peeling edges after drying.

Thanks,

Andy

I just installed an Illumishield screen protector on my PH-1 the other night. It's your standard glossy, dry install screen protector. Overall I like it. I used to use that brand on my old Motorola and Sony phones before I switched to glass screen protectors. It covers more or less the entire active part of the screen, and doesn't interfere with my Incipio TPU case at all. There's a tiny strip on either side that's not covered, but it doesn't bother me. The edges seem to adhere well, but time will tell if they stay down. I will say that it shows a lot of fingerprints, though. Don't believe Illumishield's "anti fingerprint" claims.

I just jumped on the Amazon deal last week and getting my device today. I saw this link and I'm debating on ordering, but I have a couple of questions. Is this a full screen adhesive or only on the sides, and after using it for a while do you still use it, is it still recommended? Thanks

EDIT: I just ordered two tempered glass and a HD screen for under 5 bucks, figured why not at that price.

How does your screen protector fit? The one I got is almost 1mm smaller on all sides and also has the edge not sticking well problem.

I've used xtremeguard's tempered glass before on my N5 and it cracked instead of my screen so I was pretty happy with it. But maybe their quality has changed over the last 5 years?...

Do you have a link? I ordered some of eBay but it doesn't cover the full screen, it's noticibly smaller than the lcd around edges . Did use oil to get the edges to stick which anyone who puts a glass screen on should try, it really works great.

What kind of oil?

autosurgeon · Aug 10, 2018

I used olive oil. And vegetable or mineral oil will do.

Removing Halo Effect from Tempered Glass (Olive Oil)

That's really a pretty neat Trick. In your experience how long does it last?

I put a Poetic glass screen protector on mine to replace the Illumishield protector that had already gotten scratched. It's only been a day, but so far it seems nice. I believe that it only has adhesive around the edges since it has a black frame, and there's a slight rainbow effect I can see around the center of the screen when it's off. I haven't noticed it when the screen's on. It's definitely not very case friendly, though. It's too big for the Incipio NGP Pure, Incipio DualPro, or the Poetic Karbon case. It does fit the Tudia Glost case, though, as at least one other person has noted. For the moment, the Glost is my favorite case. It's noticeable smaller than the DualPro with much better button response.

I guess I'm different. I don't use and never have used a screen protector, since I stopped using the PDA style phones. My phone stays in a covered belt clip case. Never had the need for one. Never dropped, and never scratched them. I've only had 6 smartphones.

Just got my essential phone and ordered the incipio dualpro. Any recommendations for glass protectors that would suit the incipio dualpro case? I intend to use loca for the installation. Thank in advance

Is this the glass protector you used?

I balked at the price tag - $29.99 - but they have a few promos going.

Yes, also used the coupon and got two.

I purchased the Incipio Plus Flex screen protector. It is borderless and just smaller than visible screen area of the phone. I used the included plastic aligner, which I shouldn't have used. It is ever so slightly off center now, and one edge has a minuscule amount of lift. I'm pretty sure there would be no lift if I trusted my own eyes to do the aligning. I can't redo it now even though I'm tempted to lift it back up. Overall I'm happy with the screen protector given the horrible reviews of other brands of screen protectors. I'm curious about the xtremeguard since it is so cheap and my usual go-to.

These are ****ing garbage. I don't know why anyone recommends these. The glue under the glass is ONLY where the black part of the protector is... so there's actually nothing adhering the clear glass part to the screen itself.

I bought two, fitted one on the device today. The edges don't want to stick to the Gorilla Glass.

Did yours stick itself down over time, or was there something you did to get it to adhere better?

Get a cotton swab. Dip it in olive oil. Swipe the edges. Clean and problem solved. Haven't had issues.

Any screen protectors that don't suck?
