I was wondering what everyone else's experience has been like with screen protectors on this handset.

I usually buy a Media Devil screen protector or a tempered glass one like on all my previous handset.

I have found that the nilken tempered glass and another non branded one had the same issue. The top of the screen protector and bottom left just don't seem to take for whatever reason and won't stick down correctly. I have tried 2 nilken and 2 of the non branded one bit had the same result everytime.

With the bad luck with tempered glass I tried these from amazon
3x Vikuiti MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Huawei.. For some reason they sent me only 2? Both had alignment issues.

So after all that I am using no screen protection which is not ideal but hoping someone here can recommend a good one.

You just posted there. I'm sure if you read the posts there, you'll see that they also talked about third party screen protectors.
I did indeed. Usually moderators relocate the thread to accessories so it's easy to find. I looked in accessories for a thread for screen protectors couldn't find one so created it. If I had known one existed I wouldn't have wasted my time. Lol. Can you please delete this one in that case. Many Thanks.

I bought a Nillkin tempered glass and guess what, it is not sticking on the bottom left corner :( I have read the other tread and it seems that almost all Mate 7 has a faulty screen in the sense that they are not totally flat, which causes issues with using tempered glass.

Has anyone actually managed to apply a tempered glass wihout any problems on a Mate 7?

I have tried a few tempered glass screen protector but I have the same problem with all of them. The lower left screen does not stick. I wonder whether all mate 7 has this problem or it is batch related.

I hope to bring some light regarding the glass screen protectors issues and why some they seem they don't seem to stick properly.
I purchased 5 Mate 7 in total (1 MT7-J1 / 2x MT7-TL10 / 2x MT7-L09).
All of them where having some issues with the glass screen protectors, some of them worse than the others. Usually one of the corners was not adhering properly. It is worth to notice that I tried with different brands.
The Mate 7 is not perfectly flat. If the headset is place screen down on a flat surface it will show when tapping on the corners that the phone wobbles.
In my case I gave up and I will stick with a normal one. Shame for that coz the phone otherwise is great.

Try this kind of tool.. and put it over the infected area for atleast a few hours..preferably over the night and if you are lucky.. the glue will fit..

I bougt the Nillkin without any research, it was pretty much the only glass avaiable in sweden for mate 7 (huawei have a small market share here). However, I was too fast when tried to apply it..so some dust and dirt did manage to go under the glass...so I will have to buy a new glass.. however... my phone is atleast protected now...I bought the glass protector to not make the crack in the original glass worse...
However.. I am now in the look for replacement, I am ok with 2-3 weeks delivry time... as long as it is cheap...Preferably from amazon.com

There seem to be a lot of glass protectors there, but I do not seem to find good tests where different brands are compared...
Have any people done serious research into this matter ?

Why do you want to buy a new glass protector? Just remove the protector from the screen, clean the dust and then put the screen protector back.
I have a nilkin tempered glass screen protector and it sticks perfectly. Didnt had any issue with it.
