My VZW G2 Screen Protector and Cases Review

I'm going to post one at a time...so the pictures don't get confused with others. I hope this helps

.....1.....The SNP Tempered Glass Protector (Price $32.00)
This one took a long time to receive it since it was coming from Korea with really slow cheap shipment, but the product had no damage so it was all good.
I thought I did good installation on the Tempered glass protector, but all around the edges I had gap (You can see it from the pictures). I contacted the seller and they told me that this screen protector is not for Verizon model, because of the 1mm curved edges. I guess the Korean version of the G2 don't have curved edges and I don't know about Atnt or Tmobile models.
So they gave me a full refund, since they didn't mention that it is not for Verizon models.
But if you have the Korean Version of the phone I really recommend it.
The Tempered glass protector covers close to edge to edge. The responsiveness and the clarity is excellent. The feel of this screen protector is really good. My fingers were sliding across really easy. Edges are smooth rounded so it feels smooth all around the edges.
Since the protector is close to edge to edge you can't use cases like the Diztronic cases or SGP Slim armor, etc. since it interfere with the screen protector that it will lift up the screen protector.
So you have to use the ones like Poetic Palette or Incipio Feather cases or etc.
Even though it had gaps all around the edges I have use this screen protector for 2 weeks and I had no issue with clarity or sensitivity. Overall performance of this tempered glass protector is really fantastic. If this had fit my phone then this one was a keeper...but It was just sad that it didn't fit my G2.

.....2..... Scosche 2.1A High Amp Dual USB Car Charger (Price $6.00)
If you are looking for fast dual USB car charger this one works out great. Like other dual USB car chargers have one 2.1A and one 1.0A Charging ports but Scosche car charging ports are both 2.1A charging ports. In other words...Scosche car chargers will charge 2 devices about the same speed as the OEM wall charger that you got when you bought your G2. It charges really fast.
Overall performance is really excellent. I have used this car charger for over 2 weeks now and have no problem so far. This just does exactly what it is suppose to do. It charges the phone as fast as the rapid wall charger, so this is a keeper for me. In my opinion this car charger is cheap compare other car chargers that charges slower than this.

.....3.....The Hohoo 9H Screen Protector (Price $12.50)
First this screen protector is NOT TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR. This screen protector is made out of PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate), it's basically acrylic. Im saying this because some of the sellers are posting this as a tempered glass protector when it is clearly not. There is a reason why the price point is low.
This one was a defected product which the top part of the screen protector adhesive part was not good that it made air gaps and if I leave it on for a couple of minutes it lifts up by itself, so I contacted the seller and the seller told me that he is sending a new one for me.
The installation wasn't that hard. The screen response was good and the screen clarity was really good. It feel like I was touching a tempered glass screen protector. My fingers glide really smooth. The screen protector size is basically little bit bigger than the screen, but it doesn't cover up the whole front side. In my opinion this is a really good size for the screen protector. Since I can put on Diztronic TPU cases without interfering with the screen protector (just has a tiny gap between the screen protector and the case edges).
Even though this was a defected product everything really work great except for the adhesive part. Going to wait for new one for my final opinion on this screen protector.

...4....The Hohoo 9H Screen Protector (Replacement)
I have received the replacement screen protector and the first thing that I have notice was that the boxing image was different from the first one that they have sent me. The next thing that was different was when I was installing it was the sensor area cut out. It doesn't make a huge difference but just fyi.
The second screen protector that I received had really good adhesives so I didn't get any air gaps. I had no issue with any sensitivity. The screen protector feels really smooth and my fingers slides through easily. The best part about this protector is that the size. I really think this is the best screen protector size for VZW G2.
I really like this screen protector but one problem for me with the screen protector was when I go outside in a really cold weather (near about 0°C) the protector just lifts up by itself for some reason. But if I put it back in a room temperature for a bit it start sticking back to the screen...I have tested 5 times doing this and also sent an email to the seller and the seller just gave me a refund. But in room temperature it doesn't have any problem. The adhesive is actually really good that even though I reattached it more than 5 times it didn't made any gaps or lifting in room temperature. This might be the material of the screen protector problem or I might have got a bad batch but in my experience it happen like that.
Overall performance is excellent. If I didn't had any issue with the lifting then this screen protector was a keeper for me. In my opinion the feel and strength and display is in the same level as the tempered glass protector. If you want tempered glass protector like features without paying a lot. This screen protector might fit for you.
I still have this screen protector on since I don't have any issue in room temperature. But I just have order a new tempered glass protector made from Glassview. It should be coming soon so until then I'm going to keep using this screen protector.

.....5..... Diztronic Cases (Price $10.00)
First impression with these cases were that it's really slim case. Diztronic cases are made out of TPU material. I have purchase two of Diztronic cases, matted black and clear type. Both types of cases have really good grip. The matted black case had so much better resistance against finger prints than the clear case. The matted black case had little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case, but the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion. One final difference between these two types of cases is that the matted black case is $1 more expensive than the clear case.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. On the top it has a lip that even though you put it face down it will protect from the screen touching the surface. This case purpose is basically to protect against everyday use scratches. If you drop the phone with this case on I really don't think this case will protect it from saving your phone.
Overall, if you want a slim case that doesn't any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone this is perfect. But for some reason if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like Otterbox or Incipio Dualpro or etc.

.....6.....Incipio Feather Shine Case (Price $29.99)
I have used this case for over 2 weeks now and it is just perfect for me. Especially the back aluminum finish looks really nice and I don't have to worry about finger prints on the back of my phone anymore. The case fits really tight so there is no worry that the phone is just going to fall off from the case. This case is a really low profile case that it only covers the back and the sides and the four corners of the phone, but not covering the bottom and the top of the phone. This case have slightly lower profile than the Diztronic cases. It has a really small lip on the side of the phone. The lip of the case was about the same size as my screen protector that if I put it face down the screen protector is touching the bottom too. Since my screen protector's thickness is around 0.33mm so I'm assuming that the lip size is around 0.33mm. I'm not too worry about putting my phone face down since the screen protector I have so far stood up pretty good, but if you don't have screen protector just be careful if you are putting it face down.
The back aluminum finish looks nice but it makes the phone a bit slippery. I got some scratches on the aluminum finished back already, I think these scratches came from the keys that was in my pocket. I mean the phone case purpose is to prevent from scratching the actual phone so it is doing its job but it got scratched way too easily than what I was expecting from this case. I think my Hohoo screen protector is so much better against scratches than the aluminum finished case since my screen protector haven't got any scratches so far.
A lot of people complain about this case because of the signal lost, but to me so far I have not lost any signals or the case cause a weak signal. I'm getting the same signal bar with or without the case. I think some people complaining about the signal lost with this case on have got a bad batch of the case.
Overall, I think if you want a really low profile case with really nice look on the back then this case might be good for you. This is not a drop proof case. It's the same thing that I said about Diztronic cases, this is not the case that you want if you think you are going to drop your phone. This case is basically to prevent from everyday scratches.

Did you ever receive that screen protector from Glassview?

Do the screen protectors need to specifically say for verizon? Or are they compatible with any model? I want to buy some screen protectors but they dont specify what model just lg g2

This is definitely a great case for those who are looking for something to make the phone a little easier to hold and protect the back from scratches. The outer lip lets me put my phone face down whereas before I would be afraid of scratching the screen.
Heres an older thread for those interested in more pics. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461151

Yes I have received the Glassview Tempered Glass protector...Im using it right now for a couple of days to see if this is good or not. So far I like it.
Ill post pictures later.

So is that why the screen protectors that Verizon sold me isnt working with the cheap rubber case I have that came with it, until I can get a new one. Tempered glass?

....what are you talking about...

I use the VZW Screen Protectors they had because I got 20% off the phone (when you buy 2 accessories) and they were like $7 for 3. The VZW guy didn't put it on very well but I used the second one and a hinge method to get it perfectly aligned and centered.
I use a Incipio Feather Rubber Matte Case and it doesn't affect the Screen Protector. The Diztronics are cool but I don't like the big lips around the edges that will screw with the protector sometimes. No problems with the Incipio.
Screen protectors are compatible for all models of G2. Only the Verizon Cases are different because I guess it is a 1mm thicker due to addition of Qi Charging.

the SNP Tempered Glass Protector fit in international model D802??

What do you like better, Diz or the Feather?

.....7.....GlassView Tempered Glass Protector (Price $32.99)
I have used this Tempered Glass Protector for over 2 weeks now and I think this is the one that I'm going to keep.
First, the application process was really easy for me. I installed it in like 30s and was done with perfect alignment. The size and the cutout of this screen protector is just perfect. It avoid all the lifting all around the screen and it is really case friendly that it fits the Diztronic cases. Im not too sure about the bulkier cases like the otterbox or bulkier incipio cases since these cases use up a lot of bezel space. The Thickness is only 0.23mm but The quality of the screen protector is really good. It has 9H hardness that suppose to prevent from everyday scratches and more and it is also shatterproof. The sensitivity and feel of this screen protector is just fantastic. I had no issue with responsiveness and my fingers were gliding through really smoothly. It was really easy to wipes off the fingerprints from the screen protector. Between SNP and Hohoo Screen protector feel of the smoothness wise GlassView is a clear winner for me.
I think this tempered glass is better than the MIME Tempered Glass. Since MIME Tempered Glass is cut short on the sides that doesn't really completely cover the screen but GlassView is covers the whole screen.
Overall, I think this is the best Tempered Glass screen protector that you can find on the market right now (at least for me). I thought about buying iloome flex but it looked too thin and I really don't see that much difference between just regular screen protector and iloome flex. I wanted more sturdy screen protector and I think I found my winner. I think I'm going to stick with GlassView tempered glass protector for a quite a bit before I find something that is better.

[REVIEW] Ghostek Bullet Case

The Ghostek Bullet case ($14.95 on Amazon) might just be my favorite daily case. However, there are some things you should be aware of...
Pros:
The bottom of the case is completely flat and can be stood up on all sides if propped properly (Has a lot of straight edges).
Power button/ir blaster is unobstructed.
Volume rocker gives a very satisfying click when depressed.
Very sturdy design (The case and phone will survive several drops without shattering to pieces).
Has a nifty kick-stand (Case can be used as an impromptu tripod).
Very easy to remove and to install.
Camera portions have deep ridges (protects the lens from scratches).
Very modular (Consists of 3 pieces [top, middle, and rear]).
Easy to grip.
Not too pricy.
Cons:
Top, bottom, both sides of the screen, and both camera areas are not sealed from dust (There's a lot of gaps between portions of the case and the phone).
Did not come with a screen protector as advertized (maybe a miscommunication from the seller).
A bit bulky compared to a lot of cases out there.
Fingerprint and dust magnet.
Portrait View
Landscape View
In pieces
Gaps for dust and debris on Rear cameras
Huge gap on bottom of the volume and micro-usb ports.
Gap near the power button.
Conclusion:
Now we all know our awesome phone is aesthetically curved and is very thin. In an attempt to protect this case from falls, this case makes the phone bulker and have flatter edges.
Although this case will let in lots of dust and debris, this is my favorite case to date. It's very durable and very serviceable. I'm sure with some Sugru or some silicone sealant, all the dust issues can be addressed, making this the perfect case.

thats a nice review.. however, i read in a few places that not all 4 corners are a perfect fit. the fit for one of the corners is not perfect i heard. did u come across anythin like that?
i got a love mei case.. but i get an annoying rainbow-like streak on my screen. it happens when i tighten the screws and the screen of the case and m8 screen come into contact. can i use this case with nilkin 9H tempered glass screen protector?

this is a good case but imo it is a bit too bulky for daily use. and the gaps also makes a lot of dust go in and there is a slight chance of scratching the phone if not kept clean from time to time,

well thats obviously a good combo that you mentioned. but if you want a little more slimmer that i suggest supcase unicorn beetle with a tempered glass protector. i am using UAG scout case with a glass protector. this case is quite nice too. :good:

I heard the unicorn beetle case covers the lens quite a lot and it affects photography when its late evenings... low light basically.. what do u think..
and someone posted this about the nillkin 9H screen protector.
"Worst ever tempered glass used , after application everything was good but when I removed it after a month it took out the oleophobic coating of the display now I can't use my phone without screen protector I guess the adhesive is too strong better I use your phone without this "
whats ur take on this?

i have read the same about nilkin protector. there are plenty of other brands i heard Zagg, skinomi, noot, intelliarmor etc. all has good and bad reviews. i personally use a slim glass protector from retail store (forgot the brand name). but i maybe switching to a full glass protector too. my personal preference is Zagg as it covers almost the full front except the speaker grills. http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-InvisibleShield-Glass-Screen-Protector/dp/B00JZYF7QO/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1422376922&sr=8-16&keywords=tempered+glass+protector+m8
but supcase i don't think it cause image disturbance. in some cases when using flash some problems occurred. i think someone mentioned it was only on the clear back version. In the black\black version i think it does not happen. i am not sure as i am not using one currently.

I recently dropped my phone/case and the frame split ?.
I've never had an issue with the case fitment. It's a snug fit and you'll have to uncomfortably stretch the frame to get it on.
Got a pretty good replacement on eBay. As per my original case, I taped the openings and made cut outs of the ports to prevent scratches when plugging things in.

[Useful] Orzly / Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass supported CASES [Useful]

Oneplus 3 is a beautiful device and we all know to protect screen we need to apply a Tempered Glass. So my first TG for OP3 was Orzly. I know some of you dont prefer is due to dot matrix grid / rainbow affect. But for me it was not a problem. Also if you are unhappy with Orzly there is always Ultimate Shield TG which also a full screen TG. Problem with full screen TGs are most of them doesn't support cases specially hybrid cases. After buying some well known case, i've always found that they dont fit well with full screen TGs. But i've found cheap but really high quality Chinese hybrid case which fit well with full screen TGs :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:. So in this thread i will share which cases does support and which doesn't. You guys always welcome to post same thing to help other.. Which supports and which doesn't..

Orzly Tempered Glass + Heavy Duty Armor Shield Hard Shockproof Protector Cover Case : really great protection. Thanks for this really useful post, I avoided unnecessary purchases thanks to you !

Orzly TGSP works fine with Tudia Merge case.
I am using it for a month now, no problems.

No buddy it doesn't fit well in all corner..Thatz the problem

Yes buddy it does fit. I guess you just have to know hot to put your case on.
Take a look.
Everything is fine at the corners. The case is over the glass on every corner.
Edit:
Not trying to start a fight or anything, just maybe some people want to buy this case and by reading your post they will avoid
the Tudia Merge case, a good case by the way, with lots of colors to cheer you up.
And i have to mention that once you know how to, you can take it off and put it back in under one minute.

I'm with crazykas on this one. I thought i had my merge over the tg but with a lot of in and out of pockets it finally popped off.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

annoyingly orzly flexi case + orzly tgsp = a load of crap, the case pops the screen of,f how did they not take into account the two products being used together, very disappointing.

Just bought orzly tgs and orzly bumper case. Not 100% compatible but if you pay a lot of attention you can manage to put the cover over the glass. Have particular attention to the corner.
I will test it in the next days..

I really like the Spigen Rugged Armorr Case - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H3PEWDK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5

Should i just go for a regular screen protector since the case already has some leap in front. Like the ArmorSuit one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H85Q8V4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3LQSX85N730QN
Need to order them soon too. Replies would be appreciated.

I think that for example if want to use the orzly grip or the tudia merge case, one other solution would be using a TGSP that does not cover the entire screen, like the first Nilkkin TGSP.So were the case ends the Screen protector will begin.
Just a theory.

I tried the Pleson TGSP, it was craaaaap. Didn't fully adhere to the screen at the top-left corner, I could feel the little gap between it and the screen when I touched it. Just as bad, it partially blocked the front-facing camera....I haven't seen a well-reviewed TGSP for the OP3 yet, at least none that didn't seem like they weren't bought from the company selling the protectors "in exchange for an unbiased review"
I went with the IQ Shield, and while I don't know that it would fare as well as tempered glass in something like a fall or direct impact to the screen, it's plenty scratch resistant for my needs (I keep it in my front pocket), goes on very easily, doesn't feel like it's going to come off unless I really try/want it to, and fits great with the Spigen Rugged Armor case I've got. The IQ Shield and the ArmorSuit look a lot a like in terms of the design and what they're intended for (scratch resistance vs. shatter resistance you'd find with a TGSP.)
Regarding the case, I've got both the Rugged Armor and the Neo Hybrid, and I like the Neo Hybrid just a little bit better. It feels a tiny bit more durable than the Rugged Armor, I think owing to the plastic bumper around the edge of the phone/case. It's not the Slim Armor that I had with my Nexus 5 in terms of rigidity, but either one should do you just fine if you like Spigen products. I'll probably end up switching back and forth periodically between the two, anyway.

Wow. Thanks alot for this man. I'll send you a PM and see if i can get some pictures from you. I need to order in the next 1 or 2 hours to have it delivered quickly with Amazon Prime.
This one? - https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Prot...472498142&sr=8-1&keywords=IQ+Shield+oneplus+3
I think if not getting a TG, it makes more sense to get the Neo Hybrid instead of the Rugged Armor?

Is there a cover full transparent supported by the orzly tempered glass?

Don't buy tempered glass protection for 1+5!!

It seems that all currently available on AliExpress (at least) tempered glass protection are flawed, because of:
1- Protectors that covers the body in full, and has some black areas: has actually glue only on the black non-transparent zones, but nothing on display area it self (so only display ages, upper and lower parts has glue), this makes it rubbish, because it will not stick well to the screen, one or two gaming sessions and it will end in recycle bin.
2- Fully transparent one, with full screen coverage: because 1+5 has 2.5D screen, those covers will not stick well on phone edges since tempered glass is rigid, this maybe can be used only with covers that overlap edges of the screen also.
3-Fully transparent one that don't cover all of the screen: those usually stick well, but only if they left about 5mm on each edge uncovered! I believe it is clear that such a gap ruins the protective purpose of the tempered glass, aside the ugly look due to gaps. (Again, having an edge overlapping cover could make it look better)
So it seems the only practical option for now is to use usual non glass protection unfortunately.
If I missed something or you have some suggestions please let me know..Some manufacturers claims that there protector is 4D, what means that it should solve all above issues, i didn't try those yet, anybody tested them?
I am regretting removing original 1+5 protection

As I bought and still use an Orzly tempered glass protector I concur with your analysis at this time. When I first applied the Orzly is was perfect without the issues some experienced but after 3+ weeks the sides must have lifted slightly due to my bumper case and dust particles got underneath next to the left/right buttons. Since then I've been religiously looking for an alternate that passes the case test but none so far have come to light.
I like the feel of the tempered glass so much that I've resisting going back to the film/plastic alternatives which I had always used in the past. I'm even considering going naked on the screen, relying on Gorilla Glass 5, but continue with a bumper case. Or the reverse, by using an Orzly but with no bumper case as I already have a dBrand skin applied. None of those options seem all that appealing. The one protector that seems to work with a 2.5D screen is the Galaxy 8's Whitestone Dome Glass but it's a crazy expensive $41USD and difficult to apply. I'm not sure even if a OnePlus 5 version was available I'd spend that much money.

I haven't had any luck with any tempered glass., due to point 2 which has been raised:
2- Fully transparent one, with full screen coverage: because 1+5 has 2.5D screen, those covers will not stick well on phone edges since tempered glass is rigid, this maybe can be used only with covers that overlap edges of the screen also.

After reading all of the reviews I decided just to leave the plastic one on until someone gets their act together and offers a proper tgsp for the OP5

Agreed with OP and all of above. I had and still have the Orzly TG protector on, but dust underneath. I want to go back to the usual plastic ones, but don't know which one covers as well/much as the original one that came with the phone. Any recommendations?

Im still waiting for my Nilkin glass protector to arrive (it's almost been a month, sigh)
If this one has the same issue as the ones I've tried before it (lack of adhesive around the edges), I'm going to try and go back to using plastic screen protectors.
I don't want to use my device without one, but I also hate how these glass protectors don't fully adhere to the screen around the sides (including top and bottom)

Biuzko tempered glass screen protector from Amazon had been working perfectly for me for many weeks.

The YouTube channel you mention is also my favorite choice for screen protector info for the Oneplus 5. He always tests the protectors with various cases. His branding of the channel can get annoying but his market coverage is excellent and vast. With the plethora of tempered screen protectors its your choice for an accompanying case that often makes a big difference in your satisfaction. Here is the Big unBox - Biuzko review.
One thing I noticed is when the Big unBox applied the Official OnePlus 5 tgsp video it had lots of bubbles on the edges that he said couldn't be removed while I watched XDA's TK review and his application looked perfect with TK giving it a thumbs up. In the comment section of that review TK said all was well even after a month of usage. I was surprised as the Official tgsp has garnered horrible reviews and comments in the XDA Oneplus 5 accessories section. The most consistent criticism of the Official tgsp is that it cuts off a tiny fraction of the screen. In fact, so far my research indicates all of the "Full Adhesive", "Full coverage" tgsp cut off part of the screen. Personally I think the reason they have a black line on the edges is to hide inevitable bubbles due to the curved edge. The thicker the tempered glass the wider the side black stripes (e.g. Orzly versus Official).
Here is the criteria I'm using in selecting a replacement for my Orzly tgsp and cheap bumper case. Note that I've already installed a dBrand skin so that skews my criteria somewhat.
Tempered Glass screen protector:
- Must have full adhesive (not just top/bottom and side adhesion) and full coverage
- Would prefer, but am a tiny bit flexible on, part of the screen being cut off (limit is that not one pixel of the notification bar's clock is trimmed)
- Must have an oleophobic coating
Case:
- Needs to be as non intrusive as possible adding grip but not greatly ruining the sleekness of the phone
- Uses a minimalist design and/or clear materials so as not to obstruct viewing of the dBrand skin I've installed
- With the case on the buttons (power and volume rocker) must not be difficult to press
So far my research has me leaning towards the Official OnePlus 5 or Biuzko tgsp with a Rhinoshield Crashguard case. My one issue is that the Rhinoshield reviews always mention how difficult the volume rocker buttons are to press. Here is the video that has me leaning in that direction as is seems to best address my criteria
OnePlus 5 best case/protector setup
I'll being doing more reading and searching today hoping to find the unicorn of tgsp/case combinations. The dust under my Orzly is driving me mad but the feel and responsiveness of its surface has me rejecting a film/plastic protector alternative.

I'm using the Biuzko as well with the Tudia MERGE case no problems.
The trick is to first put OP5 in the case, THEN place the screen protector on. It fits perfectly, and you can't mess up the alignment since it falls right in. Then I just try to put pressure on the sticky parts for a few minutes.
I've had no problems for 3 weeks now.

I installed mine the same way, but I'm using the op5 carbon fiber case.

The original plastic cover was just perfect, is there is any possibility to find an équivalence ?
There's only tempered glasses on internet

Hello,
I recommend you the plastic screen protectors from GadgetShieldz. I made a review about it on another post on xda but to summarize, it's a bit difficult to apply but then it's great. The screen looks good and it's cheap ^^ highly recommend.
FYI, I was struggling with TGSP for the OP5 and I just gave up. There is no good alternative atm.

It seems that all currently available on AliExpress (at least) tempered glass protection are flawed, because of:
1- Protectors that covers the body in full, and has some black areas: has actually glue only on the black non-transparent zones, but nothing on display area it self (so only display ages, upper and lower parts has glue), this makes it rubbish, because it will not stick well to the screen, one or two gaming sessions and it will end in recycle bin.
2- Fully transparent one, with full screen coverage: because 1+5 has 2.5D screen, those covers will not stick well on phone edges since tempered glass is rigid, this maybe can be used only with covers that overlap edges of the screen also.

Skinomi makes a wet application protector in both clear and matte. I posted pics of the matte version here. Since that post, I've experienced no scratches or orange peel effect. It's also great for no fingerprints.

You can always get the Nillkin H+ Pro, but only if you are using a spigen case or otterbox. Right now I am using the Spigen Rugged Armor with Nillkin H+ Pro and the gap between the glass and the case is around 1 mm (i would say 1.5 mm if I have to be more accurate). The Otterbox case is even better but I find it too bulky, tried it once for an hour and I did not enjoy it, but some of you may like it.
Few words about the Nillkin H+ Pro.
I know there are few variants of the Nillkin glass and I have tried all of them in the past. In my opinion the best glass is exactly the H+ Pro even tho it is a 1 dollar more expensive. The glass has zero rainbow effect or halo effect, it is 99 to 100% clear. It has amazing orleophobic coating. My Honor 8 has the same glass for 6 months now and it is flawless. I am going to change my nillkin glass with the official 3D tempered glass but only because I received the rhinoshield bumper. Otherwise I would not change my nillkin. You are going to get used to the small gap in a week or so.
Don't leave the phone without a glass.

I just applied mine, best screen protector I ever had, pure quality. Quote me on that

I love the official OnePlus screen protector, it's premium & looks good. Who ever made this thread is straight up wrong. The one he recommended is no Bueno, the glass part doesn't have enhesive. Look I am a OnePlus 5 conisuer, the screen protector is fantastic ?

I have siegen case. Can I buy the original screen protector from oneplus store with no problems? Or can I suggest me something with dust proof and oil proof ?

Spigen Liquid Air case first impression

I have the Spigen rugged armour case for Oneplus 5 previously, and this case felt more premium and more sturdy right out of the box. It feels denser as well but it is still TPU so it's still flexible; the design/aesthetics are more refined than the liquid air cases from previous years, offering the same minimalist low profile stealth look. I have to add that the case does add a little more heft to the phone overall, but does not add much bulk.
I've always liked the feel of the Apple silicone cases on my friends' Iphones, and the patterned back on this case feels like a close second. It feels smooth and sleek but does not help in adding friction/grip when holding it on the palm. Rather, the bulk of the gripiness of the case rests on the newly designed grooved sides, which allows more purchase on the fingers/palm.
Camera and screen lip protection is functionally minimal, ensuring that the camera and screen not touch the surface of the table when placed down and not interfere with daily usage such as swiping in from the side of the screen for back gesturing on the new Android 10. I find the corners and edges of this case to be soft and rounded, making it a rather comfortable experience holding the phone at all angles, even against the ear for phone calls.
Now the rest of the details can be expected of Spigen cases like the clicky buttons, easy access to the alert slider and accurate cut outs for the ports and microphones.
To sum up, if you are looking for a case that promises to provide both drop protection, adds little bulk in the process, and fits your 7T like a glove, I can recommend this case. Will update this review later if I find anything noteworthy to add.
:good:

I like the look of this one the most among the Spigen lineup.
Do you have the official screen protector? The other Spigens were confirmed to be not compatible

Yeah you're right to ask, the official tgsp is not compatible with the liquid air and rugged armor cases.

Case looks very minimal and sleek liked it.

Not sure why Spigen puts out case after case after case that is not compatible with most screen protectors. My first OP phone was the OP5, and this goes back at least that far. I really liked Spigen cases when I was rocking a Google Nexus, but alas I have passed on them for as long as I have been a OP owner. Really disappointing cause others seem capable of designing correctly for this phone.

Using this case since day one with that phone and the original OnePlus screenprotector installed as delivered and got no problems in any way. So many reports claiming about the compatibility, but tried it because of the slim and sleek design and many good experiences with Spigen in the past. Got no regrets till now. It's just a bit more slippery to me as others. Using it for 3.5 months 24/7 and dropped it hard twice with no damages.

Nillkin CP+ Pro (with covered selfie lens) is the only one that fits because the corners have the wrong radius.
