My solidsuit arrived. Nice case well made, happy with the amount of additional size vs protection offered. Fits tightly but easy enough to remove with the included instructions.

However the power button is not working, I hope it is just mine, I have contacted customer support. As mine stands it wont press consistently and is not comfortable to use at all.

Thanks for the input guys. I got both my crash guard and tgsp (omoton) today. Crash guard is a snug fit. Keys are clicky if at all a bit hard but working fine. I don't think it's all that loose. I have had not been able to pry it off once I've put it on the phone. So I guess that must say something. Also I put the tgsp on after I put the crash guard on and it's a fine fit. Hope this review helps others as well.

Same here, really disappointed with the tempered glass. It's such a distraction after it's on. I re-applied it about 3 times to try and get the alignment just perfect and it's still interfering with the notch, top, and side of the screen viewing area. I'm going to reach out to them and see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
I contacted them and they ask me to send pictures to show tthe problem. Obviously it's almost impossible to show the problem from the point of view of a camera. I'm gonna try anyway.

It cuts parts of the display right? Shoot photos of the bootscreen, screen containing text, if it cuts bottom side, nova launcher dock is good. All with protector on. Remive it and make photos of the same screens. That should be proof enough.

All the tempered glass with black border for oneplus 6 cut the display on the edge. It cut the letters at the bootscreen of an unlocked bootloader, of the screen when we enter the bootloader on the left side.
If you want to see your oneplus 6 screen full display you have the nillkin pro tempered glass, 5d tempered glass from sgfreshidea, impact shield from Tech21 or rhinoshield and some others which haven't black borders.

Omoton isn't cutting sides remarkably, just a view pixels on the bottom if you align to notch perfectly.

Same here. Ive taken and sent pictures with another phone and now theyre giving me the run around. This is what they had to say about my photos highlighting the issue:

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for the information provided,

Unfortunately, the photos are a bit dark and because of the screen being turned on in 'Picture2', the photo taken by the phone camera auto adjusted and focused on your phone screen instead, that is why the borders were darkened. we recommend taking a top-down photo displaying your entire phone under sunlight/light as well as having the case removed to allow us to look at the fitting of the screen protector.

We apologize for the inconvenience,

Thank you for your utmost patience & cooperation.

Best regards,

Monica - RhinoShield Customer Service Rep.

and this was my response:

The images clearly depict that the screen protector inhibits viewing of the phone's screen regardless of positioning. The screen protector your company has produced is incorrectly sized. So much in fact that it chops off both left and right sides simultaneously when viewing in portrait mode. This has little issue to do with the camera that I used or the case involved. How could the screen protector be placed incorrectly if it interferes with both left and right sides simultaneously? Please dont make me jump through hoops to show you that the screen protector was poorly designed. Ive attached a third picture showing you the issue very clearly. While we're at it i would like to mention that the alert slider button does not work very well on the crashguard case. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of attention to detail with the designing of both products i ordered.

I got my carbon solidsuit this monday and after a few days of usage I can confidently say that I'm really happy with this case, the fit is real nice and at least for me, all of the buttons work just fine, the volume buttons were a bit stiff initially but they've loosened up since. The carbon finish is real nice and I like the fact that this case doesn't really add that much extra bulk, at least when compared to the Otterbox Defender that I have on my OP3. I don't have any screen protectors on, but I also haven't had any real need for them ever, my OP3 survived just fine without one.

Hey guys, thanks for your advice for the pictures. I got an answer from Rhino. Home-made translation from french is :

"Hi,

Thanks for the pictures.

We must indeed specify on our website that this protection overlaps a small fraction the screen. The pictures from our website shows this fact but it isn't obvious. We are sorry for this lack of information.

We cannot refund you because it is not a defect, but we can offer you our remplacement program.

Exceptionnaly, as we have not mentionned it on our website, we can offer you (if this tempered glass do not satisfies you) to remplace it with the impact protection which is entirely transparent but do not covers the curved edges.

We'd be happy to send you an impact protection for free if you cover the price for the shipping costs."
Don't know what to do but i don't want a screen protection that is not all over the screen... Talking about both tempered glass and impact protection. If you look at the picture, the impact protection is no better choice, transparent or not. (Check last picture from their website)

Anyway it makes me even more disappointed because I want a tempered glass, and at 25€ I was expecting something really good.
I think I'm gonna ask for a refund anyway because I think I'm in right to ask for it despite what they are saying, since there is no written fact about the overlap.

I just ordered a fully transparent one from Aliexpress for 1.67$.

http://s.aliexpress.com/6vaMfqIf?fromSns

You even get a small capsule of glue to fill in the air gaps on the edges. The only "downside" is that you have to let it actually settle for 24-48 hours after pouring it around the edges.

Heck, even if it doesn't work ( but it should ), 1.67$ is a minuscule amount of money.

Is it really 9H ? I'm higly sceptical about the quality of the stuff sold by websites such as aliexpress, wish & co....
Even if the black stripe is completely stupid, I know that the Rhino tempered glass is high quality and I don't have to fear any scractches.

For the price of one of those you can buy 10 of these.
I always use TGSP from Aliexpress and the worst thing that can happen to them after a month or more of use is one or two micro-scratches on the protector ( which are visible only from certain angles ) .
Even if it cracks after a drop, you easily replace it.
And if you crack one of those expensive ones, you gasp and spit out another 10-20$.

I had the Nillkin CP+ and even though it was good and even though it cost me 12 damn $, it cracked as easily as the Aliexpress one I had before on my previous device. Glass is glass, they don't put some magical stuff in those 10x more expensive ones.
It's your money, in the end, I just mentioned that I bought it and am going to try it out.

Making temepered glass is a industrial process that can be done by multiples technical ways. Depending on the technique, the costs won't be the same, and you'll easily understand a cheap technique will mean poorer quality of glass. Also even with a same technique, you have to master many parameters such as temperature, pressure etc... to make tempered glass. So two companies won't have the same quality of tempered glass.

So, I trust more a 30$ tempered glass from an ISO compliant known company than a 2$ unknown chinese brand...
However it is only based on trust and doesn't change the fact that maybe that unknown chinese brand uses good techniques that gives very good tempered glass quality !

Again, glass is glass and it will crack if the phone hits the pavement or anything besides a structurally flat surface like wooden floors ( it's possible even then ).
The quality difference is not significant enough to approve of the huge price difference, no matter the manufacturing process. And in most cases of those famous screen protectors, you're paying more for the brand, just like with smartphones. Only the Rhinoshield bumper cases have no equal. But everything else costs far more than the materials do and even if it's an expensive manufacturing process, it's then an inefficient one if a tgsp of hypothetically 90% the quality costs 15x less.

I can bet at least 90% of them are made in China and the only difference is that they resell it to you saying that it's magic in fancy packaging while you order raw products from Aliexpress.

I agree with @The Marionette. Based on my years of experience buying multiple electronic gadgets including screen protectors from Ali Express, I can confidently say that at least 85% of the products I purchased from Ali Express (including tgsp) were of equal quality of their expensive counterparts. Only issue is that it takes few weeks to get the product. Ali Express do have a great customer satisfaction program i.e. if you receive the product not as described, they would often issue you refund right away. I am a firm believer to support Made in USA products but unfortunately, the US sellers are purchasing, repackaging, and selling products made in the same factories where Ali Express sellers source from.
