Naked Screen or Screen Protector

[kingmikel]

With the lack of TGSP that fit properly or don't cut off the screen, my question is how many of you are rocking the screen naked?

For those of you who have, how has the screen held up? Any scratches or issues?

At the moment, no phone screen will stay 100% smooth and it will always has scratches all over the screen (at least the ones that are only visible on certain lighting condition) even when you're taking good care at it. I've been using phones without screen protector/cases for years and the only problem really is when the oleophobic coating wear off.

From my understanding, it is only scratched when something with a higher hardness rating scratches it. If you're careful with your phone, in theory it shouldn't have scratches right?

And normally how long do you feel that the oleophobic coating lasts?

Yes that is true and it includes those tiny sands that are present everywhere and even comes with the winds. No smartphone will be scratchless on screen for a day without screen protector when you're using it normally. You just don't see it. If you do not want scratches on your phone screen, use a protector because it will always scratch unless you keep it in a sealed box.

I ordered the IQ shield wet application screen protector. Used it on my s9 plus and pixel 2 xl and it looks and feels great

I have been using the following product for the last 3 phones with success. For everyday use, I have not noticed any scratches on my family's phones such S8+, S9, and OP6. I have no clue how this liquid stuff bond with the glass but it's more than placebo. There have been times when I forgot about change in my pocket or keys in the same pocket as phone-Did not get any scratches on the phone. Although, the product claims to bond with glass for a long time, in my experience, you need another coat every 6-8 months.

I used the pre-applied screen protector out of the box for about 2 weeks and I found it pretty good especially because it fitted just perfectly on the screen. But I removed it since I don't like screen protectors that much.

Just got OP6 two days ago. I usually go naked and never a scratch, but this weekend i'm going on a bit of an adventure on the sea, after that protector is going right off.

I've used IQ shield before, but I found that they are so hard to keep clean. They get so oily really quick. Do you have any tips?

How's the screen holding up now?

the tgsp from oneplus is a must. perfect fit, looks good, applies easily, and most importantly it has saved my phone screen once already. I will keep one on my phone.

Yes! I spray some prescription glasses cleaning spray every other day and wipe it off

Pretty good. I already dropped it 2 times without the screen protector and just the TPU case on it, and there are no visible scratches or something else.

Pixel 2 xl still holding up well after 5 months, s8 plus peeled out a little from the top left after an year, but I am a using a tight case on that one.
I love the super easy installation and no hassle of dealing with bubbles after it dries out completely. My friends think that I don't use a screen protector, it looks and feels like there is nothing on the screen.

I'll give that a shot once I put on the screen protector. Thank you!

I think that if the IQ Shield doesn't work for me I'll give it a shot with out a protector. I'm hoping I have the same luck you've had!

I ordered it and I'll let you know how it works once it arrives. Thanks for the suggestion!!

I've never used a screen protector and have never had visible scratches on the screen. I have a habit of always putting my phone in my right pocket on its own so there is nothing to scratch it.
