Hey guys just wanted to give a heads up about the oneplus official tempered glass screen protector.
I don't know if others are as irritated by it but the screen protector stops short of covering the screen on all sides. I mean its so bad that the edge runs across the screen viewing surface on both sides. I did put in a complaint, maybe they will resolve it. I did order a Orzrly screen protector but canada post is on strike so I'm stuck with this irritating screen protector for a while. I don't seem to be allowed to link to pictures though.

Yeah i am. It creates massive problems while tapping on any options near those edges while gaming. Horrible.
@andrewrcatton, some gap around protector is not a quality issue rather it is a intentional decision on OP side.The reason is op3 has side curves

So they intentionally decided to have a 5mm(guessing) gapp all around from the edges? That's stupid. I Under stand how the screen on my device curves but the edges of this protector is far from the edges, with it centered its 4-5mm from the edge of the viewable screen so you see a line down the right and left sides. Ill post pics when im allowed to.

Yes it is really a stupid decision of OP to such **** protector.
Don't buy these protectors instead use 3rd party full coverage one
Having the same problem, it looks awful. How did you raise the complaint with one plus? I can't even find an option to do so....

I'm looking for a screen protector that only has the cut out for the front camera. I find it unnecessary that there cut outs for the proximity sensor. on a lot of screen protectors I have seen. Anyone have any recommendations?

This one seems to have a cutout only for the camera, and a 2.5d edge to fit the our 2.5d glass. Someone else in the screen protector thread recommended it, so I just ordered it last night. I'll let you know how it works out.

Great. I might consider it. I was actually hoping to find a plastic screen protector.
Someone said in their review that the glass screen protector cut out isn't as pictured.
The only problem is the protector I received was not the same as pictured. The top of the protector was not cut as pictured. instead of having a small cutout in the center for the cameral lens, there was a larger cutout of 5/8ths of an inch starting just right of the lens going left. Therefore the lens is not covered, but there is an odd unprotected gap at the top of the protector.

Please let us know how the glass screen protector is for you. I've used one once, and it was really nice to have that sort of quality, but it started to peel off after about two months of usage. Maybe that's normal, though. Idk...
Anyone seen this yet?

I am very happy to see Glass protectors finally for our Edge but disappointed that they are colored now instead of fully clear.....Wouldnt that make the capacitive buttons look recessed or sunken in now? I just don't like the idea, kind of like adding depth to the buttons...
Skinomi Tech Glass
thanks for the post I was on that page just a couple of days ago and that option wasn't there yet. Seems interesting as most full edge covered tempered glass screen protectors are black and that one seems to actually be blue like the phone is. Also about the clear/coloured the reason is the adhesive used would show at the top and bottom so I personally don't mind it being coloured as long as it matches the original colour. It seems it's the only way to achieve full coverage and not lose
the glow from the capacitive buttons by adding the cut out as it is 0.33mm glass. I think it'll still make the phone look amazing and definitely want to give it the best yet still slim protection and this seems like it'll be for now so I decided to order it even though it won't ship until around July 17th.
would it fully cover the phone screen?
I have one. I dont mind it but it doesnt cover the full front of phone. Doesnt interfere with viewing really but the only thing i don't like is the cut for the top spots is off slightly
looks like a gen 2 protector
i don't have any experience with this particularly product but let me tell you this is not a GLASS protector but a FILM protector like INVISIBLE SHIELD or BODYGUARDZ, so take that in mind before buying

How is the touch sensitivity? Especially around the edges?
Good! Thanks!
I got mine yeterday and sensitivity sucks on the left side. I'm off by tiny bit hen installing it and that could be the reason but who knows. I did post a picture in the Skinomi review thread in here if you want to take a look. Not sure if I have gen 2 or 3 but it does look great. Too bad for my left side sensitivity issue. Slightly getting better so there is some hope. Guess I'll give it a few more days.
EDIT: after re-aligning the glass, I don't have sensitivity issues on the left hand side anymore.

Skinomi Tech Glass screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S6 is perfect. It does not cause any touch nor tactile sensitivity at all though I knew some did experienced touch sensitivity especially on the sides. what works is aligning the shield to the center.. really it works great as those expensive brands.. worth a try!
oh great
Any pictures of the gold?

That's for the normal screen protector, not the glass.
I know most of us (if not all) keep looking for that perfect tempered glass screen protector for our phones (not to mention that it has to be curved of course).
Today I received my Skinomi Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge tempered glass screen protector, and I'd be more than happy in sharing my review of the product.
Packaging:
Packaging is retail. I pre-ordered from their website directly (rather not deal with Amazon), and I got a cool coupon that saved me 25% .
What comes included is your screen protector, fiber cloth, alcohol cleaning cloth and dust lifter screen.
Installation:
I'm going to be completely honest here; This is my first time installing a tempered glass screen protector. Much less a dry installation. I've always used invisible shield for my previous devices so I was expecting a hassle. This was by far the easiest installation I've ever done. Super easy!
Fit:
The fit is not as great as I'd expect it to be. It doesn't cover the phone fully on the edges, you can still see some small space that's left uncovered (I've attached pictures for your leisure). I'm sure that I've installed it as best as humanely possible (actually quite proud of that haha).
The capacitive buttons on the bottom or probably my main issue; The cover completely warps them. The cutouts on the glass protector don't match the cutouts on the phone itself. This causes the buttons to look weird and warped when they light up. I personally don't care (now if this is a mistake and someone from Skinomi is reading this, then please reach out!), the case does what it's supposed to do, but I feel that it makes the fact you have a glass protector on your phone obvious.
Feel:
The protector feels great, you really can't tell there's something on top of your screen. Touch sensibility is weird around the middle towards the left edge on my particular protector (I do have to press slightly harder in order to get a response), but I'm having that after 24 hours that problem clears out.
Final thoughts:
I actually like the protector overall. It's not bad for the price I payed (although I was expecting a better fit for the buttons and a better fit around the screen itself). I'm guessing that as long as the screen protector doesn't come off like the Spigen one I would consider myself happy.
I know the pictures are not the greatest, but If you guys want better ones or different angles or something just let me know!
Hope this helps!
Are those glittery specks permanent?

Exactly my thoughts. If the edges were more sensitive, I wouldn't care about the rest.
I'm very impressed with this tempered glass. SGP use to be my favorite for all my devices but I'll start considering Skinomi tempered glass going forward.
There are some sensitivity issues on the left side but hopefully that will go away once the glass settles in and will report back if it does or doesn't go away later in the week. What I mean is that I would have to press harder than normal.
Here is a pic with the glass before installation. I just realized I still had the clear plastic covering my lens after I took this picture and will add a few more pictures with it being installed once I borrow a colleagues camera phone.
It looks so beautiful once installed and no bubbles like the SGP curved one. TBH, hyped went away once I started to get sensitivity issues on the left hand side and hopefully it will go away after a few days.
EDIT: after re-aligning the glass, I don't have any sensitivity issues anymore. You might have to re-aligning it a few times if you're off. Don't worry, you won't lose any stickyness. This tempered glass is worth buying IMHO.
So i got my Xtremeguard Tempered Glass Screen protector and back protector. Highly Disappointed. Halo all around and the film for the back of the phone is cut to big and the the cutout around the camera and heart rate sensor looks horrible. The back film I will have to cut myself so it fits, its just to go between the phone and a case,so nothing gets scratches.
I always used Xtremeguard for my LG G3 , but not for the note5 now.

I just emailed them i will see what they say.
I had issues with my wife's note 4 screen protector , they refunded my money and said just to write return to sender on the package.
It's the 2.5D glass the note 4 and 5 use, the edges of the screen are curved, not flat. When you find one the doesn't do that it won't coder the edge is the screen.
I really hate to pay alot for a screen protector. Was hoping XtremeGuard would work for me like it did on my LG g3

Interestingly, that screen protector actually says, "2.5D" on the packaging. Ii need to google that phrase, I've never heard of it, but that would be nice to know if screen protector manufacturers could tell us if they account for the curved screen or not.

The 2.5D Jettech is talking about means the edge of the screen protector is also rounded off so it doesn't have a sharp edge.

Actually you want the rounded edge so it isn't sharp, some aren't 2.5D and they can slice your finger if you run it along the edge of it. I can tell you there are 0 glass protectors that cover the entire screen including the curved edge. They didn't have it for the 4 and they won't have it for 5 either.

I was saying it's a bummer that the screen protector is not curved. Not that it was a bummer that they rounded the edges. Just to clarify.
That is really unfortunate though. The screen protector I have barely covers my screen and has a bad halo. i can't imagine having a screen protector that only goes to to where the halo starts.

I have this screen protector and my phone looks nothing like this. I agree it doesn't cover 100% of the screen which I love because I use full body cases (supercase unicorn) and it sits perfectly in that case. I wonder if you got a lemon. Have you tried reseating the protector?
I used xtremegaurd with very little halo.
pics not good...but you get the idea
Update email
Refund
I just got 2 of these in the mail. It came in generic packaging, doesn't even say xtremeguard anywhere on it. Front of the plastic box just says "real tempered glass screen protector." I don't even think these are made for the Note 5. They are probably for the note 4. mine look like mrpickem's as they don't have the small round cutout inside the top cutout to account for the large front camera lens.
i found a thread somewhere else on xda and someone said xtremeguard and just been buying whatever tempered glass protectors they can buy in china and sending out various brands. think i'm gonna ask for a refund.
I got mine today. Very disappointed, the front camera and sensor area wasn't big enough. I should of figured when the glass came in a package with an iPhone on it.

Actually I'm fairly happy with mine. You can't expect much for $4 IMO. If some of the better makers come up with a highly regarded unit I'll switch...otherwise I can roll with this for awhile.
next to my note 4, the halo much worse on note 4 and it was expensive protector

Disclaimer : I received this case for free in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This means that if I bought it myself I would have wrote exactly the same things
The Orzly 2.5 Pro-fit tempered glass screen protector for the OnePlus 3 is one of the only screen protectors that cover the whole phone and it is very well presented with its packaging. It has the alcohol wipe and microfiber cloth on one side, and the tempered glass screen protector on the other. The installation instructions that come with it are very easy to follow and can easily be understood by anyone as it is step-by-step and has pictures as well.
Installing the tempered glass screen protector was very simple and only took a few seconds and there were no bubbles anywhere. In addition to that all of the cutouts were in the right place so the two bottom LEDs for the back and recents buttons were visible as well as the notification LED, camera, speaker and proximity sensor.
I also did a smudge test: some smudges did appear but were easily removed by wiping with the included microfiber cloth, and I did a scratch test with a coin, a key, and a rather sharp box cutter. The screen protector survived all of that with ease and is definitely strong/hard enough to protect your screen from scratches and drops.
A problem that quite a few people seem to have with this screen protector is that it comes of when installed with a case. I have not had this issue but I would like to say to make sure to be accurate when applying and use the camera/speaker/fingerprint sensor as a guide when installing the screen protector. Also, be careful when putting the case on. I have tried it with both the Orzly Fusion case and the Flexi Case with no problems whatsoever.
A slight issue is the 'dot matrix grid' because it is visible in direct sunlight and bright lighting conditions. However, I cannot really complain too much because this is what allows the screen to be fully covered and therefore fully protected against drops, and it isn't visible most of the time.
To summarise, the Orzly 2.5D Pro-Fit screen protector is great at its job, offers the best protection especially when compared to other partially covered screen protectors, and is very strong and durable. Just make sure it is installed accurately.
Terrible screen, dots in sunlight, oil marks on the center of the screen and when using many cases, lifts the edges of the protector so it stops making contact with the screen. Are people being paid to keep posting positive reviews for this screen, when everyone else knows it's really poor.
PS I have used it with the flexi case and know how to install protectors properly. It continually lifts the edges of the screen. Fact.
