Would you have a glass screen protector to recommend for the Nubia Z17 ?

I'm getting mine in about 2 weeks, and since the phone seems to have a slightly curved screen and tiny side bezels, I'd like to get a screen protector with a very good fit !

So if you'd have some links/brands to recommend, please share :good:

Thanks a lot !

Well the issue is that the screen is bent towards the edges and the protector will not connect with the screen.
I uses Huawei p10 stuff but it looks ugly and makes the edge gestures difficult

Alright, thanks for the feedback !
That's why for once I'm going to try a soft one, it's meant to be thinner so I hope I won't feel too much the difference between the screen protector and the actual edge
I'll let you know when it arrives ( from China of course )
I got this one ( can't post the link, but on aliexpress ) : "XSDTS for Nubia Z17 soft nano explosion proof film "

hello,

It is possible to find them with your favorite search engine with the key words "nubia z17 tempered glass -mini" or "nubia z17 tempered -mini". You'll find many, on aliexpress, a*zon, giztop or others companies. I'll buy be he same occasion a TPU silicon protector ("nubia z17 TPU silicon cover -mini"). the prices are variable, depending the sellers ("official" or not, aliex or not... and quality or not ;) )

Yep thank you, I know how to find some haha, the point of the request was to buy one that somebody would have tried and recommended since the fitting is more problematic with that edge to edge screen
I should get my phone this week, and the screen protector probably next one, so I'll review it if somebody is interested

;) I'm sure if you are here you know how to do that... Don't imagine I was looking to offense you ;)
I saw on many and many pages and shops pseudo Z17 case and tempered glass, it was why I indicated my search criteria.
I saw many cases with the holes not at the good place, idem for the glass protection (have a look to a*zon or al*press for example...
I'll order here (Imak products). I'll post here my opinion after getting the products.

I found one on eBay for 6 bucks. It fits really well and is good quality. The only problem for me was a little too much greasiness on it (the oleophobic coating wasn't very strong). But the fit and the thickness are really nice. I can't find another one that fits. I ordered two more that were clearly for Z17 in the listings... but they sent me mini ones from China, and they don't fit. The only one that worked for me (a little greasy, but fits well) is search eBay... "Imak 9H Full Cover Black Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film For ZTE Nubia Z17". I'm still looking to find one that fits and has better coating.

Hi all ;)

I saw many "tempered 2.5d glass" some with holes on the top (with black or white part top and bottom).
Something looks strange : the 2 holes left on the top of the glass are "aligned" On the phone, the "second hole" seems or must to be 2 ou 3mm down You can see the Camera (front face) and one centimeter on the right, 2 ou 3 mm above the second device. So if the 2 holes are on the same line, I suppose the front camera will not work well (or it is the light sensor ?)

I used this one for a few weeks but it's not very good :
ebay.co.uk/itm/201967749695
I've had 2 drops, both less than 1m onto a carpeted floor and it cracked on the second drop...

I'm thinking about getting a good brand screen protector for the Huawei P10 to use on my phone, such as Sparin. Besides the holes not quite matching up (which I imagine shouldn't be an issue as long as it's a clear but covering a sensor /camera), how have people found the use of a P10 on this phone? Any other suggestions?

Any luck finding a better one or is that the best you've found? Thanks :)

No. Best one so far. Tried another one, and it didn't fit at all. That one collects a little too much grease, but it at least fits well. Not ideal, but I haven't found a better one. The IMAK case from eBay is good too. It's reeeeeally annoying how they print the IMAK case logo on the back of the case in white, but the case itself is actually nice. Let me know if you find a better screen protector. I'll also keep this post updated if I find one.

I found it!

I finally found what seems to be a legit screen protector! It actually fits and has proper oleophobic coating. My troubles are over!!! I had it on for a week, and it's still going strong. I got it off Aliexpress for 7 bucks. Search for this exact listing: "ZTE Nubia Z17 glass MOFi full cover tempered glass Nubia Z17 NX563J screen protector NX563J glass film ZTE Z17 Phone Protective"
