Hello Guys,
I am waiting for my s6 Edge which will be arriving next week and i'm super pumped. So as you my suspect, i have gone through a lot of review videos and articles on the phone's performance and accessories and stuff. One thing i hadn't considered until yesterday was installation of a screen protector. So I looked up tempered glass screen protectors and think they are really cool.
My question is the look of the phone if/when i decide to remove the tempered glass screen protector to install another one or continue life without one. Any one got any link to a video illustration of this or any article...or your own experience ?
As most of you or each one would agree the s6 Edge is a good looking phone and maintaining the beautiful look is on all our minds.
Phone will look the same upon removal. There aren't any worthwhile tempered glass options for this device
Sorry ,i am using a general screen protector...i think glass protector is too thick.
if you wanna a general one , i will recommend you a good screen protector..
yes, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge looks cool , Have you ever considered the colorful glass screen protector?
I am using a tempered film now. But only for several days.
So I contacted both Moshi and Spigen to find out if I could get my two favourite accessories for my S6 (the Moshi iVisor and the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX bumper-style case) for a Note5.
In both cases, I was not told that they didn't have them - but rather that they had no plans on making them, which is slightly worse.
On that note - does anyone know of any bumper cases or full-glass screen protectors for the Note5? Most of the glass screen protectors I have seen online don't cover 100% of the screen and end up looking like crap on a 2.5D screen; that's where the iVisor-style screen protector really shines.
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the suggestions - but I'm really only interested in a bumper-style (i.e. no back covering) for the Note5. I have ordered the Ringke clear, which is similar to your second link - but I want a less substantial case, as well.
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
Sent from my OnePlus5 using XDA Labs
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.

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.

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 ?
I've ordered at about 5-6 Tempered Glass for our Mi Note 3, and it wasn't easy to find one which fitted our phone perfectly. If you'll order one, than search for 'full cover'
This one fitted our display perfectly and is rounded and cheap, too:

Yep, finally gave up searching for a fully transparent one as none fits edge to edge, ended up buying the one you posted and somewhat satisfied because it covers edge to edge, albeit the precision is a bit questionable and the matte finish gives different impression of blue (it's more like purple). NVM, my back cover is protected with a transparent TPU case and I can still myself in the "mirror" which is very helpful for back camera selfie (I love to do that because pixel2mod front camera won't work in advanced features like bokeh).
I have a few ones`s: At the moment i use one 9H tempered, and with colour blue. Not the qualith of a Ultimate Shield or Nilkellin, but it works so far...
And covers all screen.
Im using this for my Blue model:

Of course is not a Nilkellin or Ultimate Shield, but covers it all.

Since mi note3 has curved edges, I bought soft protectors form taobao. Glass protectors dont fit very well.
Ace case do a tempered glass one that fits the corners perfectly. The main issue with it is that only the top and bottom coloured sections have glue on. Hard to explain but the part coving the screen doesn't so the slight air gap does effect viewing quality after a month or two.
I just got a ace case invisible screen protector to replace the tempered glass one and it is excellent. Obviously it won't protect as well from a large fall but I think it should still do a good job.
It's a soft plastic screen protector that you apply wet to the phone and it drys out after a few hours. Perfect fit and the quality is excellent. Feels good under the fingers and is very resistant to smudges. I'm really impressed so far.

With the rounded side edges, this will not be an easy phone to fit screen protectors for. Please post if you find any others.
This is what I have found so far. All ship from China and take 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Great screen protector! Fits perfect with a case and includes a small one for the secondary screen. Easy install. Would def recommend
Whitestone Dome glass
Whitestone has a screen protector for the LG wing have anyone use Whitestone before any good?
I use Mi 10 Pro hydrogel screen protector . Just got a screen protector without the hole for the selfie camera. Cost around $1 per protector.

I got this one and fits perfectly and no bubbles after I installed it and left it overnight
Just got these, installed and now I cannot get my fingerprint to register. I deleted it retrained it with the screen protector on and still no luck.
Got these. Typically I steer clear of the screen protector film. I generally always go with the tempered glass screen protector. But since the fingerprint wouldn't work with the tempered glass and tried this film. See link below. Works great feels smooth like glass. Provides better grip also. I put one on the screen as well as on the back of the phone. I can open and close it with one hand now because there's a little extra grip on the screen. Fingerprint also works with these.

THX for the link, just ordered.
I typically don't use screen protectors at all, just the liquid sealers.
I'm actually more interested in using to cover the back of the phone.
Did you cut out a hole for the cameras,& if so, how did you go about doing so?
I plan on using my Spigen case to trace out & cut w/an X-Acto knife.
Considered getting a skin for the Galaxy S20/S20 + (closest I could find, dimension wise), but, it'd still need some alterations, so, I skipped that idea.
If anyone finds a bodyskin for the Wing, please post a link in this thread.

I cut a notch around all three cameras. I figured it would at least protect the back of the phone when I get my case. For now hopefully it'll help it not get scratched
Front screen, bottom screen, and back have the film on them... Liking it.
Has anyone found a tempered glass screen protector that the the finger print sensor works through?
I ordered a Spigen case from Amazon, but decided to upgrade to a better one I found at a T-Mobile store. I have AT&T and it didn't matter at all in regards to the accessories I got today. They also had a screen protector which I purchased as well. It's pricey compared to amazon, it has more support on the sides than the Spigen one does. The screen protector I bought wasn't an Invisishield, it's a Case Mate and it's working very well for me. Just wanted to thrown that out there in case it cam help anyone.
Is the Case-Mate a tempered glass screen protector or a film?
Thanks for sharing
There is a tempered glass screen protector on Amazon. It's made by UniqueMe. Only sticks at the edges, but fits well and wraps around the curved screen. Feels great to the touch. And touchscreen sensitivity works extremely well. Optically, I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
When installing, you need to line it up with the bottom edge of the screen so that there is a gap at the top. This is needed to let the light dimming sensor see out. Also, it is quite fragile. I dropped my phone into a soft bath mat and the screen protector cracked.
Already on my third UniqueMe. Fingerprint sensing works decently. You have to get the hang of it. If possible, definitely re-enroll your finger prints after installing the protector. Works much better that way.

I bought 2 from you. I like the idea but a hard rubber material would be much better than the plastic. Both of mine have broken from 1st drops. They did protect the front screen though.
