XtremeGuard: Best Bang for Buck Screen Guard!

I just read through the other thread here titled "Free Military Grade" and I seriously can't believe that its still a sticky here!
Anyway coming back to topic, I just received the XtremeGuard Screen protector for my HD2 and to come straight to the point - this is the best screenguard you can buy at this rate!
I've personally used Zagg and Bestskinsever for the rest of my Devices (iPad and iPhone 4) and can without a doubt say that the material used here is the SAME!
I got the Full Body Screen Protector for just 6$ off Ebay incl. Shipping (WorldWide Shipping).
The quality is same as the Zagg I currently have applied to my iPad.
If you are looking for a screenguard then I haven't seen anyone else offering this quality at such a low rate.
Note: This is no paid review or anything. Just my pure personal experience.
You can buy from their site : http://www.xtremeguard.com/ or directly order one from Ebay. I'd go with Ebay simply cause of their guarantee and money back policies.

What I don't like about those screen protectors like Invisible shield and bestskinsever is the rubbery feel left on your screen. Your fingers don't glide like it would on protector-less screen. Does this one have the same rubbery feel to it?
I currently use Vikuiti (TM) DQC-160: http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-screen-protector-dqc160-htc-hd2-28087.html
It's like having no protector at all. The screen protector glides perfectly, no rubbery feeling. They also have a promo, buy 2 get 1 free, so you get 3 screen protectors... And unlike the skins that have to be installed with soapy water, these go on without water and are even washable and reusable!
I've tried all screen protectors imaginable (Bodyguardz, zagg, Clearprotector, bestskinsever, cheap ebay protectors, etc.) and Vikuiti is the best I've used...
What bothers me about Xtremeguards is they say Zagg is not military grade and theirs are. But Zagg was the first to boast military grade helicopter blade protection film...

Well I found Zagg to be the most rubbery. XtremeGuard was on the same line with Bestskinsever.
About the Military grade protection I feel those are just marketing gimmicks and not to be taken seriously.
Vikuiti (TM) DQC-160 is still costlier and only covers the front. So assuming this higher cost and coverage area it should be made of a different and higher quality material.
As far as the quality of material goes, Zagg/Bestskinsever/XtremeGuard use the same/similar type of material. But XtremeGuard was the cheapest I could find.

I'm notoriously brutal on my phone screens, and have ruined many of them over the years. The Gorilla glass on my HD2 (now a year old) has remained unprotected since day one, and it's still perfect. The surface is amazing.
Has anybody really scratch up their screen?

Sorry mate, but the HD2 doesn't have Gorilla glass. It's tough, but not Gorilla tough - and I know, cos I tried to scratch mine one night with a bottle cap when I was drunk. Thank god that didn't work!

Its my personal experience that having a screen guard on drastically reduces the chances of causing a screen breakage incase the phone falls down.

I use a matte screen guard just to reduce direct daylight glare. Since I use the Otterbox Defender and keep it screen side in, there's not much chance of keys or other things scratching even the guard.

Wow thats a relief

I've been using the Zagg protection for my HD for more than two years now.
It's very effective, as it truly turns your device into a rubber bouncing ball, so you'll really unlikely damage it if if falls down in most situations.
However, the screen part was very unpleasant to use, as your finger wouldn't slip anymore on the rubbery (and sticky) surface, and since the micro bubbles that always appear took several months to disappear from large surfaces such as the back battery cover, it compromised the scren readability for a too long time to be tolerated, so I prefered to use standard screen protection sheets (my current one is an anti-glare one).
Now for the drawbacks :
- Two years later, the glue turned yellow. It's obvioulsy not a problem on the black HD shell, but it could have been if you covered the screen as well.
- The sheets can theorically be removed, cleaned and replaced. It's true in the beginning. But two years later, the glue will stick to the HD and peel off from the film ! BTW, the film now rips easily, so it appears to have lost its initial sturdiness.
- I bought a Brodit craddle for my car, and it's very tight. So tight it ripped off the Zagg protection ! It may be thin, it's not thin enough...
So I finally removed it entirely. After all, I always put it in my belt leather case when I'm not using it and I barely use is as a basket ball - though it fell down quite a few times and I thanked the Zagg protection.
But my HD is ageing now and since I have problems with the screen, I think I'll change it for an HD2, so I won't replace the protection.
In conclusion :
- The Zagg protection is excellent, but consider replacing it after at least two years.
Well, I know it's actually more than the time some people keep their phones, but I keep mine for many years, so it's a concern for me.
- It will be a problem if you intend to use a slip-in car craddle, because of the added thickness.
The sheet is also very shock and scratch proof, but easily teared off if applied a strong pressure with a cutting edge, as for instance the hard ABS Brodit craddle edges.
- You'll quickly find it's not suitable to protect the screen.
Otherwise, if you intend to protect your Leo from scratches and shocks without wrapping it inside a huge box or ugly silicon case, while retaining its original appearance and design, and don't wish to have to get it out of the box/case each time you want to access the battery, SD card or SIM card, or plug into your car handsfree kit, then it's a perfect solution that no other can match.

Screen protectors are worthwhile on old resistive screens made of plastic, as plastic scratches very easily. They are a waste of money on glass screens, however, as it is extremely hard to scratch glass
Glass screens crack when extreme pressure/shock is exerted on the edges of the devices and compresses the glass. No screen protector is going to protect the glass from that. A shock absorbing silicon/rubber case, while not fool proof, offers the best protection from a shattered screen.
I've never had a screen protector an my old iPhone and my HD2, and there isn't a single scratch on the screen on either device. Everything else on my iPhone got scratched, but the screen is actually the most durable part:

Anti-glare screen filters can still be interesting if you're using your device outside under strong sunlight, as it's the case here where I live.
Otherwise, I agree the mineral glass is supposed to be scratch proof.
... But not break proof ! The Leo's glass screen has proved many times to be very, very thin compared to the iPhone's one... And very fragile when hit.
So beware if like me, you're carying your device everywhere on hard work. You can frequently hit your hip, so at least, don't store your Leo in your carrying case with the glass turned outside !!!

I prefer the otterbox defender
Which has a screen protector. For one thing, it will keep the glass from shattering should the device fall.
I do have a plastic protector under the otterbox, because the screen tends to stick to the otterbox otherwise. Some people have recommended a bit of baby powder on the screen, but I just can't bring myself to do that - and I wonder if they realize that such powder can be talc or cornstarch. I'm not sure I'd want either getting on my screen!

I just received the Full Body Screen Protector from Xtreme Guard today and I am a bit lost as to how to apply it since this is the 1st time I am trying to apply this type of protector.
In the instructions, it says to soak all fingers in soapy water solution --> can I use any type of washing hand liquid and mix it with water?
Then this is the part where I'm really lost : "Peel off the guard from its backing, then re-dip your fingers in the solution and completely wet the backing of the guard" --> Does that mean I must wet/dip the whole protector in the solution before applying?
Please bear with me, I'm completely noob for this type of thing. Any help would be really appreciated - thanks!!

First rule of thumb, go slow!
And not to hijack this thread or anything, but I always refer to the Phantom Skinz website when I install skins. I have used a few different products and Phantom Skinz was the best. Frack you, Ghost Armor!!! (Note, I have never used XtremeGuard but I am thinking about it because of the much cheaper price).
Back on topic, the Phantom Skinz website had some pretty in depth instructions and I did not just want to take credit for them, so:

And here is a video install because sometimes it is easier to watch someone do it first:

When I replaced my HD2 a couple of months ago I decided not to put a screen protector on the device, using the one built into the Defender instead.

Well, one of the second hand HD2s I bought went with a couple of original HTC screen protectors, so I put one of them on mine, in order to potect the screen from shocks, as the glass is very thin (much thinner than the iPhone's for instance).
You never know what can happen...
It may not be the best protection in the world : it's a bit thick, it makes the picture look a bit "weavy" when seen from tight angle (so I guess it's not perfectly flat), it can be scratched moderately easily, it's prone to collect fingerprints (as all the existing protections actually, and even the glass with no protection at all), the screen is still as difficult to read under strong sunlight (I think even a bit worse than with no protection at all), and it's slightly less finger-slippery than the glass screen alone, but...
... It has a gigantic advantage towards all and every other existing screen protectors (probably except the Zagg Invisible Shield, but this one is so rubbery and sticky it's almost unusable, actually) :
... It covers the whole screen, including around and under the buttons.
Most, if not all other protections, stop on top of the buttons, making a visible and ugly "stairs step". Plus they're not really better. Too bad.
So the HTC one is the one I prefer (the other best choice being no protection at all, since the glass can hardly be scratched, only broken).
BTW, I don't use a full casing protection nor sleeve, as I'm using a belt pouch and a very tightly fit Brodit car craddle that forbids any protection other than a screen film (it would just rip off the Zagg full body protection as it's too thick : I had the problem with the HD).

The Importance of a Real (Tempered Glass) Screen Protector!

I use a tempered oleophobic glass screen protector on my Galaxy Note 2. Just yesterday, it saved my phone from a 1 m drop onto a tile floor. There is now a hairline crack in the protector, but that's much better than having a hairline crack in the Note 2's screen itself. It would've been the screen if it weren't for the protector!
If I had used a plastic film protector, it would have bee a different story. Those flimsy films only protect from scratches, which this tempered glass protector does a much better job at anyway.
These protectors only cost around $10 on eBay, so it's a worthy investment to prevent spending $300 to replace the whole screen assembly.

How is it installing this particular protector? And what effect does it have in regards to the s-pen?

Just went ahead and ordered 1 from link in OP.

+100 for Tempered Glass!!! Have my VITREO on and wouldn't leave a home without. We all focus on getting good cases to protect our phone, and some end up adding $0.99 thin film screen protector from ebay. Even good stuff from Spigen with 3H hardness will only protect from scratches. Impact protection is only reliable with a tempered glass. Furthermore, tempered glass usually is super clear, no light effects, not interference with s-pen, and it feels super smooth like a real glass.
@vantt1, how is it sticking to the edges? One of the biggest problems with Note 2 is display curve toward edges. Spigen didn't even bother making their signature Glass.t stuff for Note 2. MIME got it right only from a 2nd try. Other brands had issues with glass not sticking to the edges. Sedio VITREO shrunk the glass to cover only visible part of the display and not even going all the way around home button, all that to avoid with curved part of the Note 2 screen edge. So curious with the one you got if it's sticking to the edges or not? Or perhaps it's a bit thinner and thus more flexible in comparison to VITREO, so edges do stick better?

Installation is relatively straightforward. Just make sure the screen you're applying it on is super clean and dust free, then peel the plastic film covering the silicone-based adhesive off and align the protector according to the location of the home button and the front camera. Don't worry if there's one or two specks of dust in between the protector, because it is near impossible to remove the dust again. Pushing it will make the silicone fill up pretty much all the remnant air bubbles caused by the dust, and will look nearly invisible anyway.
As to the S-Pen, it doesn't affect it at all. Hover and tapping works just fine, and because it is glass it doesn't scratch like the old matte ones I used to use.

This 2.5D is by no means flexible, but the protector is smaller than the Note 2's screen by about 1-2 mm around the edges. It sticks reasonably well to the curved edges, but it is visibly not making complete contact. The protector clings perfectly where the actual AMOLED panel is though, and that's good enough for me. Furthermore, as you said, the glass does make seamless contact with the display, so there is no air gap at all and no extra reflections.
It's very smooth and hydro/oleophobic too!

Now this is the kinda thread I like seeing... Much better than one I've seen called " Don't use a screen protector!" which I hope dies in the depths of this forum
My tempered protector is the best 6 bucks I've ever spent on phone accessories and it's the first accessory I'll buy for all my future phones. I stop worryimg about what else is in my pocket. And because it's glass it's easy to forget that you're even using a screen protector unlike with the flimsy plastic films.

Okay, you guys sold me on this. I just purchased one from the OP's link

I bought one again myself as a replacement for my currently cracked one.

Just ditched my several week old zaggs invisishield, which proved to be a sticky, bubbly pos which ripped after just a few weeks of sitting in the pocket of my khakis (with nothing else in the pocket).
Received and installed a Seidio Vitreo which I learned about in vectron's thread. The Vitreo is outstanding but I wonder what makes it so much more expensive ($30+)...hardness maybe?

...hardness maybe? No that's not why. I'd bet money it's no harder than the rest.
The only difference with Seidio is that it's not as wide and therefore it doesn't go as far to the edges. As you might have read in Vectron's review, if the screen protector goes too far to the edges the curved edges of the Note 2's screen will cause the protector to not stick as well.
The reason it's so much more expensive is because of the word Seidio printed on it's packaging and I guess a bit also for the fact that they solved a problem that no other protector solved at the time they released their product.
In my opinion Seidio products in general are overpriced, but hey we all live on different budgets
That being said I bought a $6 protector on eBay from a Chinese seller here and I couldn't be happier. I dont have the problem of it not sticking properly to the edges. It came in nice packaging with proper English instructions.
The edges are nicely tapered and the feel is great.
Plus the seller threw in an aluminium button sticker for free... I asked for one...haha
Sorry for all the lint..

Yours looks better on the top edge... the Seidio has an asymmetric cut around the earpiece. I'll keep that one in mind for my next phone or if the Vitreo breaks.

Although the curved edge problem exists on my protector, I haven't noticed any reduction in contact within the last 6 moths that I have been using it. Sure, a little bit of dust does get caught under it, but it doesn't seem to affect the protectors amount of contact at all.

Damn, should've checked here before I got one on Amazon for twice the price. By the way if anyone's looking for some reliable instructions on applying them here's a nice guide I wrote as a review earlier:
1. I don't know about you but I'm a bit anal with my phone so that whole just "line it up as best as you can and drop it" stuff isn't good enough for me. I'm going to introduce to you the hinge method which will allow you perfect alignment. Lay your screen protector over your screen exactly where you want it to be placed. Don't remove any of the plastic coating just yet, you just want to line it up. Then, tape the bottom part of the screen protector down with two pieces of tape effectively making a hinge. When you go to apply it you will simply remove the backing and the screen will lay down perfectly where it needs to be but we'll get to that in a bit there is still a little more prep required.
2. You are going to need to clean your screen so you don't have any particles under it to cause bubbles this is probably obvious but I would be remiss not to include it. This kit includes a microfiber which for most installations should be just fine however if you feel you need a little extra cleaning help you can also try a little bit of isopropyl alcohol.
2. Your enemy is dust so you want an environment that is less conducive to that. Let the shower run for a while until the steam builds up to ground the dust. Humid=Less dusty. If you haven't guessed by now you will be applying the screen protector in your bathroom.Set up a little station so you can have the phone/screen protector as close to eye level and and as visible as possible to spot any dust particles.
3. The moment of truth! Take another quick swipe with your microfiber cloth and check for any dust particles. You can now peel off the backing. There should be no guesswork here due to your hinge method so this part should be a piece of cake. Slowly lower it starting with the side closest to the screen and it should hinge close. Run your finger down the middle of the screen. You should see it adhere to the rest of the screen on it's own for the most part. Remove the front protective layer. Wrap the little card (or a credit card) with the microfiber and push out any remaining bubbles. You're done! If you did everything correctly not only will your screen protector be perfectly aligned but you will have no bubbles.

This tread should be a salesman good god. After reading through this thread I overed one from ebay right away.

Screen protector or no?

Looking for advice on screen protector vs. no screen protector for my shiny new Moto X that just arrived. I can't seem to find one locally so I'll have to order something online if I need it (tried local AT&T, Best Buy, and Office Max because I was walking by it). I used to run a Ghost Armor protector on my old Galaxy Nexus but took it off for the last 4-5 months or so before I moved to a Lumia 1020. The GNex with Samsung's version of Gorilla Glass 2 had no scratches on it. So I figured I'd not run one on the Lumia which had GG 3 (same as the Moto X).
However my Lumia has two nice strips of rubbed in scratches across the top & bottom parts of the screen about 1/2 an inch in from the edge that I noticed after a few months and they have just gotten worse in the last year. I'm paranoid the same thing is going to happen to the Moto since it's also GG 3. The phone always goes in a pants pocket with a plastic eye drop bottle but never keys.

I live recklessly. No screen protector or case. I was in a position where someone was telling me to get one, but I like the feeling of the glass on the curving at the edges. A screen protector would disrupt the flow. I take really good care of my phones anyway. My HTC One M7 I had before for over a year didn't have anything and it only has one thin scratch from my girlfriend's diamond earrings. Which by the way, pro tip: warn people with diamond earrings to mind your phone if you let someone use it.
Personal preference, but I like the phone how it is. I don't buy a good looking phone to put a case on it.

I usually think that screen protectors, and cases are like insults to the designers who made this delightful piece of machinery... so no screen for me, and no cases, naked Moto X for me.. as always!

Do you guys put your phones in your pockets or? I thought I took good care of my phones until the glass on my Lumia.

There's always going to be those guys that don't use screen protectors, and the ones that do. I'm one that does. I've had my X exactly 1 week without a protector, but am expecting it in the mail tomorrow. No scratches at this point, and I prefer to keep it that way with a little more solid protection than just the type of glass it is. I always order Japanese pet film from amazon, much cheaper than in store, and is a hard material so screen still feels natural.

I usually don't use screen protectors or cases, but I have found that I am incredibly clumsy with this phone so far and have managed to dent the edges of the phone and scratch the screen a bit. So now I use a naked tough case and a cheap matte screen protector. I was a bit hesitant on the matte protector but thankfully I like it very much. I even like the papery feel to it.

No screen protector here. I switch between 3 phones daily and none of them have screen protectors. Aside from the fact that glass is pretty hard to scratch, I just like the feel of the bare glass and see no point in protecting a screen that you're never going to touch (if you use a protector). Just take care of it and you'll be fine. I do use cases on two of my phones, but the Moto X (which is my primary phone) stays naked 98% of the time.

All of my previous phones had a screen protector installed immediately, my Moto X hasn't had one since I got it.
I planned on getting one but the mall kiosk that used to be ghost armor, then another brand isn't there any longer. I cannot do them myself because of my OCD, I always ruin it somehow, believe me I have tried.
I have a very slim case on the X but I am tempted to not use that as well and go completely naked, would be the first time I have ever done that.

I'll always use a screen protector, even though I'm very careful with the devices. To me, since I already take very good care of the device - I'm extra picky on getting a screen protector that is very thin and clear. The device has curved glass towards the edges, so don't expect that to be covered unless you get one of those heat-application full coverage protectors.
This is the one I ended up going with... after 2 months or so, it's still fantastic. If you are familiar with the old Reallook protectors, this one's identical to that. Static application, plain and simple, thin with no orange peel.

Thanks for the tip. Those are cheap, I'll grab a pack of them to get by for now and give me some time to figure out if there are better ones. The whole tempered glass thing has me intrigued but a quick search showed they seem to want to hit those curved edges which causes them to not work well either.

Yeah I was really thinking about the tempered glass also, but I was worried about thickness and feel (as it wouldn't cover the edges either) - and eventually decided against it.

With today's technology, the phones don't need screen protector at all, but if you insist on running a screen protector, I'd suggest tempered screen protector as the ordinary ones are even not protective enough than the screen itself. One thing you should also consider is, running a tempered screen protector will make the touch reponse insensitive according to my personal experience.

Well, I thought I didn't need one on the phone I had before the Moto X, a Lumia 1020 that is also supposed to use Gorilla Glass 3. I think I mentioned already I have a Galaxy Nexus with Samsung's version of GG2 that had no screen protector for the last 4 months or so that I used it daily before getting the Lumia and it had no problems with scratches. The Lumia however in the same time started getting what you see in the attached picture. That picture is today after owning for a year and doing nothing differently than the Gnexus. The only other thing ever in the same pocket is a plastic eye drop bottle. In some ways it looks almost like a coating was rubbed off, but there are some good solid scratches in it as well that are not just some coating. So that's why I was paranoid about the Moto X.

I found a 3 pack of tempered glass screen protectors for $9 USD on Amazon (with free Prime shipping!) so I caved and ordered them. It was such an amazing deal that I figured if I didn't like them it wasn't a big loss (not like $30+ name brand ones anyway). I must say, I'm pretty impressed. My only complaint is that they don't cover all the glass, but they really can't because of the curved edges on the X. It was super easy to install, and I got it on PERFECTLY with zero imperfections like dust, etc. It doesn't affect screen sensitivity at all, and since it's glass it still feels great. I'm surprising myself here, but I definitely recommend them, especially for people like me that generally hate screen protectors. For $9 for 3 of them you really can't go wrong.

Can you post a pic of what it looks like? (or a link to the post if I missed it somewhere) I'm curious how "not covered" the screen is since the only place I noticeably see a curve is right at the edge where it meets the bezel.

Here ya go. I think the screen starts sloping a little bit before it hits the obviously rounded edges. I read reviews for a bunch of different glass screen protectors and they were all either a little too small like mine, or the right size but the edges don't stick right because of the sloped glass. I bought one from a different manufacturer for my iPhone 6 as well and it has the same issue. The screen protector I have for it is just as small as the one for the Moto X because it too has rounded edges. It was annoying at first (on both phones) but I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me any more. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep using them though, as I still prefer a bare screen.

Ah ok. Thanks for the pic, that looks like the same coverage as the Mr. Shield PET protectors I just bought. So I think I could live with that. Yeah I'd rather go without anything, but after my experience with that Lumia and GG3 I'm just paranoid. I've never had any other phone do that, and I would expect a screen protector to look just as bad after a few months if not worse so that makes it really confusing to me that it happened.

iCarez [3D PET Full Screen Coverage] Screen Protector

Just got this in, and I think it finalized my decision to go naked. I tried four spigens, and now two of these icarez, and the sides just won't stay down.
About the product. It's probably twice as thick as the spigen, and doesn't quite cover the screen. It covers enough though that you don't catch your finger when swiping the edge. It's goes to the edge of the screen, just not the edge of the glass. You shouldn't have any trouble with MOST cases either.
Install wasn't bad. They give you an assortment of creative stickers and rubber bands to aid in alignment. I followed the instructions exactly and my results were sub par. I consider myself to be a seasoned veteran screen protector installer. Neither these or the spigen will stay down, mostly on the lower edges. .
The feel is great since it's a very hard film. It does finger print like a son of a *****.
Edges are a little jagged.
Clarity is perfect.
Overall, it wasn't amazon prime so I'm probably stuck with em. I'll see it I can live with it till the revised version spigen is sending me come in.
Here's the pics.

Also looking for the perfect PET screen protector. I always trust spigen but I'm not liking what's currently being offered as it leaves large sections of the screen exposed. But maybe they're not as bad as I think. Mind describing the spigen screen protectors you tried out? And what are these 'revised' versions they're sending you?

Looks to have the usual glass/hard material screen protector on a curved screen issue. Namely lifting on the curve where they can never get the shape exactly right. These things are to be avoided, they never worked on the S6 Edge/S6 Edge+ and they won't work on the S7 Edge either. Not to mention the fact it doesn't cover the screen fully anyway looking at those photos. Stick to standard film protectors, if you buy the right one and apply them correctly you won't have any problems.

I have the same set arriving today, I'll let you know if I have an success installing them.

After using glass, the thought of an orange peel film protector feels like a giant leap back to 2009.
Are there any worth a damn these days?
I always used bodyguards, phantom skins, and a few other "good" brands a few devices back and the were okay because it was all that was available, but I hate the feel of all of them compared to the pet and glass.

The spigen felt better, was thinner, smoother and covered more of the glass. It went on perfect except for the bottom curved edges. They wouldn't stay down and after one or two slides in the pocket, they got lint under them. Spigen self identified and sent me this.

Using a Zagg HD Dry myself. It's nothing like the old rubbery Zagg I had on my old S2. Smooth and sticks to the screen well. Check the screenshot in the other thread.
Personally, I'd prefer a glass one, prior to buying the S7 Edge I was running with them on my Note 3 for years. But, like it or not, it simply isn't an option on this phone unless you don't mind constantly having to press it back down onto the curved edges after it raises.

I'm with you. I hate to have to go back to plastic film. I never had a plastic film protector that made me forget that I had it on. The glass protectors feel more like the actual screen. Not only do they protect from scratches they can also to some degree protect from getting screen cracks. This is my first edge phone. I had no idea that there was such an issue making a glass screen that can fit properly. I've only had my phone for 5 days and this is my longest without a screen protector ever. I may just have to go with plastic film until a decent glass protector is available.

I installed this screen protector yesterday and frankly I was very impressed. For a platic screen protector, it works and looks exceptionally well. I don't know if they re-engineered it since yuo bought yours, but mine covers my glass completely - with a case on (Spigen Neo Hybid Cyrstal) you can't see the edges of the screen protector at all - covers from the bottom of the home button to the top where the notification lights and speaker is. The feel is great - almost like glass - no bubbles - installation was tricky for me - I blew it on the first attempt and had to use the 2nd screen protector that came in the package - but at under 6 bucks for two screen protectors, I didn't mind that at all -
If you try this one, be sure to watch teh video very carefully and follow their steps to the letter - if you do - like I did the 2nd time around - the installation will go well.

If spigen does indeed fix the adhesive it sounds like that screen protector would be really good. Looking forward to some pics after you receive and install them when you get a chance.

Spigen's ultra optics back in the day were AMAZING. They were the usual PET film but anti-fingerprint except it didn't feel as rough as others and left ZERO rainbow effect on the screen. I'm still confused as to why they stopped making them for devices. But ya, the other wet application, orange peel, rubbery and tacky films are the worst. Would rather go naked than slap any of those on my screen

I thank the 3d tempered glass shoud be much better for 3d pet.

Mine installed just fine despite it not covering both sides of the screen 100% not matter how centered you make it. Since my S7E is silver it makes the bezels look like they're not sticking, but they are.

I've left it on this whole time, and while it still isn't perfect, it hasn't lifted or given me any trouble. I don't know if I want to waste it by removing it when my revised spigens get here.

Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector [Small review]

The Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector. I used 3 of them on my 1+1 and they did their job perfectly, not a scratch on the screen even when I sometimes thought it was done for. So after ordering my 1+3 i first bought the tempered glass screen protector from Oneplus. Huge mistake. Hands down the worst screen protector i used so far. So almost immediately i ordered myself a trusted Orzly screen protector.
Installation:
Installation of the screen protector was quick and easy. I guess the procedure is about the same for every screen protector out there but still.. The only problem is that even i wiped the screen clean with the cloth etc. But still i managed to get a spec of dust on the screen which really annoys me. I guess i'll just buy another one
Conclusion:
Great screen protector, does the job perfectly. I hope i don't need to replace it any time soon.
Pictures:
As you can see on the picture below, the screen protector from Oneplus isn't all that good...

However the Orzly one:

thanks for the review but before people run out to buy one based on this review, a few things i feel should be mentioned:
1) this Orzly protector does NOT work with a lot of cases. if you have a case that covers the sides but doesn't go over the glass, it will push and lift the Orzly. if you do have a case that fits snug, it will push in the glass and create weird color marks.
2) the protector has dots on it that are clearly visible in direct sunlight and quite frankly, make the screen look like crap.
3) the protector is a smudge/fingerprint magnet!!!
4) because it doesn't quite stick to the screen, unless the sides are fully covered by a case, you will get dust inside.
5) i did notice a slight touch response degradation but its not major.
my conclusion: Orzly dropped the ball on this one. i had their protector on the One and the Two and they were incredible but the one for the Three is a mess and i will be asking for my money back.

I can only confirm it. I'm very disappointed with Orzly tgsp. It doesn't work with orzly flex case. Matrix dots are very annoying, so far it's the worst screen protector I purchased.

Completely agree Rattles, this screen protector doesn't fit with Orzly's own Grip Pro case. For me the touch response degradation was so bad, I removed the screen protector after less than 24 hours with it fitted and fitted it to the inside of my bin.
Personally, I think that this screen protector is utter trash.

I second the negative experience with the Orzly TGSP, which is quite a bummer. I had very good experience with their TGSP on previous devices, but I guess the curved screen made them make a bad deciscion to go with the black bordered one.

I am pretty happy with the Orzly which I use with a sandstone case.
2) Dots are only visible under certain circumstances, but it is rare, in my case 99% of the time not visible. I already forgot about them.
3) Agree, it is a fingerprint magnet. But also easier to clean than the original screen protector.
5) Didn't notice any touch response degradation and must state that thanks to a more slippery surface the fingers slide better which for me is a big plus.

Although it fits perfect and the dot matrix doesn't bother me but dust entered the screen protector after a week even though I was using a case.

Very disappointed with orzly. Not 2.5d at all. Glass is bigger than screen and there are a lot of dust in the gap. Dots are visible quite often. Doesn't stick well.. Hate it.

Bought and discarded the protector after one day of use. For all the points mentioned by many above. Waste of money.

Yes, i agree. The dots are only visible in direct sunlight. That still so many have bad experience with this tgsp. I really like it!

Just to add one more negative thing: the Protector is very reflective (compared to other tempered glass protectors and stock Display). Hence outdoor usage is limited.
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk

I also have this one and I'm super disappointed.
I mean, why don't they just make it translucent? And why is there no glue on the glass? It lifts off even without a case...
Also the cutouts aren't perfect, while the camera and speaker ones fit perfectly I only see half of the buttons. And those fingerprints!
Really, even the pre-applied protector from OnePlus was better.

I can confirm all these flaws. Anyone got a recommendation for a good one? The official oneplus one is back in stores, so I maybe just end up buying this.

I threw it away as well. It was worse than the official one tbh, at least the official one doesn't fall off all the time...

FYI: Complained about the garbage quality through Amazon and got my money back.
Time to find a better glass protector now.

i got a casebase protector but havent removed the protector that comes with it, should i try the casebase or is everyone going back to standard protectors since these full coverage ones arent cutting it?

As far as I can tell , the Case base is identical to Orzly so honestly, I would just keep the one that came with the phone and send it back.

I installed mine and I like it. I'm pretty ocd about acreen protectors too...no gap under acreen, and I use the oneplus sandstone snap case and it doesn't touch the protector. Only fault is the dang rate it picks up fingerprints. I can see the dots underneath, but only in sunlight...that not an issue at all. I tried about 3 different ones odd of Amazon before I left this one on.
