Looking into getting a decent screen protector for my G4 when it arrives and I came across this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-Spigen®-Crystal-JAPANESE-Definition/dp/B00UMDPLJK
Or would I be better with Orzly or Fosmon?
Just wondered what the general consensus was on them?

I'd recommend getting a tempered glass one - had one on my S5 since launch and still not a mark on it, doesn't attract fingerprints as much and feels much better than using a film one IMO.

So, maybe this one?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fosmon®-Pro...797996&sr=1-5&keywords=lg+g4+screen+protector
I was going to go for that one, but I think it ships from USA so you'll be waiting a while. I ended up getting the Casebase one based on other people's feedback (not used it yet as waiting patiently by my front door for the courier to knock!) - it's a bit more expensive but you get two in the pack. Mine arrived within a couple of days.
Bought this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Prot...797996&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+g4+screen+protector
Hopefully that one will be ok, keep in mind though all the reviews relate to the G3 version.
The Spigen one for the G2 and G3 wasn't all that great, but I believe it came with an extra or two, so that you can change it whenever. It did scratch easily for me, however.
I had some for a Nexus 5 I never bought (got the G2 instead). They felt the same as the iCarez ones I got for my G2, which were really good for film protectors. They had scratches on them in like 3 months, but the Spigen pack has like 3 in the package, so you should be set for around a year if you are tolerant enough.

They're really good. I do field engineering work and we sometimes have steel shavings on our hands my Nexus 5 had a screen protector and it looked mangled up but when I replaced it with a new one the screen look the Immaculate when I remove the old spigen screen protector.
I've got one from Skinomi TechSkin . Smooth, clear and durable. No complaint so far.
I always loved the speigen protectors. They are thicker. The matte ones are my go to on tablets. Prevents fingerprints and helps keep the screen from getting sticky during a gaming session.
just a question.
i've never used tempered glass screen protectors. my fear is that their added thickness would somehow feel sharp and uncomfortable in the edges, swiping laterally and holding in hand.
is this right? 0.24mm is not that much, but it is surely something.

The majority of tempered glass screen protectors have a curve along the edges so no need to worry about the uncomfortable feel
I've got KlearCut screen protectors for the LG G4.
too expensive. i found sth on ebay
the same as it show in SPG,much cheaper ,the same as SPG
Spigen screen protectors are great. Recommend!
Spigen one is good. But it is expensive. There are so many tempered screen film on the market. You can find one with good quality at a best price. Just personally suggestion.
Yeah,Spigen is expensive. I have tried this brand and it works great .
IQ Shield Liquid Skin screen protectors can compete with expensive brands.. It's wet install type of film guaranteed to provide long lasting results. Got one for my S6 and it holds up pretty well to coins and keys..relatively cost effective..
It is look nice,but it is expensive. Maybe you can find one with good quality at a best price.
Hey everyone!
I'm looking into buying a tempered glass screen protector for my G4, as the one i have at the moment is a plastic film which feels quite grippy and attracts loads of greasy fingerprints. Anyways, i read through the main tempered glass thread looking for some recommendations, but unfortunately all the decent ones are only available in the US. Are there any reasonable screen protectors available in the UK, preferably from Amazon, which people can recommend to me? I have a slight issue with my fingers getting rather oily, so something with an excellent oleophobic coating would be great.
Cheers!
Hello!
I can suggest this company, got the glass from them on Tuesday, and it's compatible my heavy duty case. It looks strong and the touch, the feel is smooth, the glass itself is crystal clear. I hope it works well as I work on a construction site and I need a decent protection.

recommend you to use GLASS-M protector for you G4. Gorilla glass is much better for protect your phone screen. And I have used their product over three years. Great! http://glass4m.com/product/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-lg-g4/

I've always had Zagg screen protectors, my last one was a Glass Zagg on my iPhone 6s+ and it was great, though it was expensive...this time due to Zagg not having a Glass one for my G4 I went for this this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00WZID5LQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
I installed mine on Friday which was very easy to do, it is a great fit and comes with 2 for £9.99....bargain!
Give a look to the CaseBase Tempered Glass Screen Protector
I agree with maverick1103
I used the CaseBase tempered glass protection for a little bit more than a year on my LG G3 and now using it on my LG G4.
The product is very good. My G3 fell once and it was a chance to convince me of the usefulness of this kind of protection.. The protection was cracked and the glass remained intact.
The protective glass is very discreet and application is pretty simple. The touch remains responsive and much better than a plastic protection.
The package comes with two items. Very handy if the first attempt is not successful.
Just brought a nuglas protector from EBay (cheaper than Amazon uk). Looks and feels great better than the stock scree.

Japan is nice~:good:
I am currently using the included OP3 film screen protector. I would like to upgrade, since it doesn't cover the entire screen and is a fingerprint magnet.
Ideally, I would like a tempered glass screen protector that covers the entire screen. However, if there are no good TGSP's that cover the phone correctly, a traditional film protector would do. Also, I am using the spigen case currently, so any TGSP would need to be compatible. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H3PEWDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
I'm using orzly version 2. Works just fine.
I use nillkin tempered glass protector on my LG G3 and already ordered one for the oneplus I got coming, my wife's using one on her iPhone 5s as well. Very happy with it as you can imagine.

There is no screen protector this ideal atm because of the curved screen. Liked said as above the orzly v2 is the best choice at this time or the 3d curved from op.

For Comparison:
Orzly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...7_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YQS809H8XFZKGRNQBJ24
PLESON: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...7_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YQS809H8XFZKGRNQBJ24
Thoughts? Could save a couple bucks but I'm not familiar with who is good. I am still rockin' Zagg invisishield HD on my N6.
OP3 is on the way. Damn it takes forever for them to ship...
I've had both Pleson, Yootech and random full screen ones from Aliexpress. They're all mostly the same but the Aliexpress ones were the worst.
Pleson and Yootech had some rainbowy effect but I could live with that. Unfortunately the adhesive has given out on the right side after a month and a half so dust started getting under there, but Yootech sends out another one as soon as they hear about it. Still wish it didn't happen though
Anyone knows where can I find Orzly v2 for Germany?
Are Orzly V2 and Nillkin CP+/H+ compatible with the Spigen cases (particularly Neo Hybrid)? How do these TGSPs compare?

I bought the OnePlus's with the phone, still using the pre-installed one.
I had a Nillkin screen protector on my LG 3 for 14 months before I replaced it, because of small scratches. And I'm not overly concerned with my phone
Just a tip! Don't buy cheap (under 4-5 pounds) nonbrand off eBay, they are rubbish!
Apparently Best Skins come highly rated. Therefore this maybe an option:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/oneplus-3-skins
See also:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/blog/best-skins-ever-screen-protectors-matte-vs-glossy/
Stay away from the Pleson TGSP, didn't stay adhered to the screen for me, at least not with my Spigen Neo Hybrid case.
Anyone using a white screen protector with a grey op3?
I think the Nillkin CP+ is the best choice right now.
I also have a Nexus 6, which also has a curved edge. Most TGSPs have the same issue as on the OP3. By far the best screen protector I've had was the intelliGLASSPRO https://www.intelliarmor.com/shop-b...ss-pro-motorola-nexus-6-screen-protector.html
The don't have a PRO version of their TGSP yet, I have asked if they're going to make one. The do have this one: https://www.intelliarmor.com/intelliglass-hd-oneplus-3-screen-protector.html And an installation tip I've got from them is to put a few ChipClips around the edges and leave it overnight to get rid of the halos.
@jzuijlek, Is it compatible with Neo Hybrid? Is adhesive all over or just the sides? What is the difference between the regular and pro versions for Nexus?
I have Nillkin CP+ and it has been great. No rainbow effect at all and no issues with screen sensitivity.
I use it with Nillkin Qin series wallet case and Orzly flexicase without any problems.
Orzly Fusion case and Spigen Rugged Armor not compatible with Nillkin CP+.Big issues with screen sensitivity.Removed second day.
I have the Orzly V2 with the Poetic Revolution case. I removed the screen protector that came with the case and I'm extremely happy with both.

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)

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.

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.

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 ?
Hello there possible saviour of headaches,
I've been browsing around for hours now through fake/legit comments recommending this or that product.
It seems as finding the perfect screen protector for this phone is a hassle, so my question is, of the ones that YOU'VE tried.. which satisfied you the most?
Please post pictures, if you have the energy to do so, on the current state of your screen protector.
Thank you for your time!
Ps. You may claim the title "saviour of headaches" after your contribution.
If you need protector not tempered glass
Buy from official site
I'm using this one https://es.aliexpress.com/item/ZNP-Vidrio-Templado-Para-Xiaomi-Redmi-4-4-Pro-4X4-Redmi-Nota-4-Nota-Pro-4X/32836035031.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.XaBkJF

3mk Arc (also 3mk Arc 3D if you need back/sides protection aswell), it's screen protector over whole screen (it's foil not glass, and yes it goes over the edges aswell), perfect fit it's not even noticable and it's not coming off anywhere, 0 bubbles and it has self regenerating coat..
I tried a lot of screen protectors including Aliexpress ones but they are all trash, all of them have some issues (mostly poor fit, or some weird color issues). But with this i'm 100% satisfied, im not looking for glass protector anymore. This is enough for scratch protection, for drop protection i have case..

Here you have video with 3mk Arc 3D (for different phone) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2phEqkGAAnQ
This is their official store: https://folie-ochronne.3mk.pl/pl/c/Redmi-Note-4-Global/1369 39,99 zł. is around 10 Euros.
I live in Indonesia. I know one trusted screen protector brand. The brand name is INDOSCREEN.
They have some type of screen protector with price range and technology which you can check on their website.
If this brand available to your country I suggest you choose their top line options. Mask premium series hybrid film model for instance. It's impossible to break, made from PET plastic - glass, absorbs low to medium impact, and delicate to touch, oleophobic coated too.
This black and red packaged product is quite pricey. But no compromise quality and lifetime warranty plus 3 times free changing sure is worth the money.
I think the main reason why we not getting a proper screen protector is because of the curved screen ... I hate that 2.5D glass screen. Life was much simpler with a flat screen.
And thats why you shouldn't use tempered glass on this phone but good quality screen film / foil with full screen coverage. 3mk is really top notch quality but feel free to look for some alternatives, i'm not looking anymore.
I use brotect mate since 1 years, perfect ! Find on ebay

Read my posts in the tempered glass thread
My preferred across several devices now is the Nillkin Anti-Glare with Matte finish. It's up to personal preference, but they're the ones I like most. Every new device I migrate to, I purchase 2-4 of these for its lifetime. I like their visual acuity (not as "clear"), touch and feel, ease to clean, and oleophobic effectiveness.
"Nillkin Matte Mi5" will find it on ebay, AliExpress, etc. Check youtube for examples. Like with most plastic film, replace every ~6-12 months depending on your preference.
I´ve been using a no name anti glare foil from Phonenatic and does a good job. Bought on e-bay, a 2 pcs set was €2,40. https://www.ebay.at/itm/371815842272 and also have a 9H glass, this is okay as well. https://www.ebay.at/itm/372136883554
I use this: https://www.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_1284329.html?wid=1433363 and i am very happy with it, it also has all the holes in the right position, so you don't even see and feel that you have it installed
