SNP Tempered Glass Protector

Review on SNP Tempered Glass Protector. I finally received it from Korea and put them on. It took about little over 2 weeks to receive this.
I thought I did good installation on the Tempered glass protector, but all around the edges I had gaps.
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 dont have curved edges and I dont know about Atnt or Tmobile models.
They are giving me a full refund for this since they didnt mention that it is not for Verizon models.
But if you have the Korean Version of the phone I really recommend it.
First the costumer service is excellent.
Second, the Tempered glass protector covers close to edge to edge.
And third, the responsiveness and the clarity is excellent.
My fingers were sliding across really easy.
Since the protector is edge to edge you cant use cases like the Diztronic cases or SGP Slim armor, etc.
So you have to use the ones like Poetic Palette or Incipio Feather cases.
I mean I still have them on since the quality of the Tempered glass protector is really good.
Until I find another Tempered glass protector that I want comes out, I think im just going to leave it on.
* Pro
- Close to edge to edge coverage.
- Responsiveness and the clarity is excellent.
- Smooth feeling
* Con
- Not for Verizon LG G2
Here is a link to the product that I have bought.

I'm like 99% sure all versions have the curved edges on the front glass.

Yes this. Seems like I'll be postponing my purchases of a tempered glass protector until a decent one appears... Thought this could make the cut.

The seller told me that they dont have any problems on Korean version. Im sure they try out the protector on the device before they sell it.
But yeah...have to wait for another tempered glass protector comes up...was thinking about trying iloome ScreenMate Flex Flexible Glass for G2.
Have anyone tried this?

it looks like there's major bubbles on the edges.

I bought a Clasy korea tempered glass SP and the edges look exactly like yours. No offence, but I just can't take that gap. It does look like tiny bubbles and that forms a "silver lining" on the screen.
I'm having an international D802 and I really don't think any glass SP will fit perfectly on any G2 model. However, I think the normal plastic ones may work though.
Seriously planning to remove it and go naked..

Yes It has gaps all around the edges. Its not a thick gap around the edges...but it bothers me when i look at it when the phone is turned off.

Yes same here...the quality of the product is really good...but the gaps around the edges bothers me everytime when I look at the phone when it is turned off. When the phone is on I really dont notice the gaps but when it is off...it just...you get my point...
I have tried out 2 different tempered glass protector so far...and didnt find the one that fits my phone perfectly.

Tried the spigen glass protector for my iPhone 5 and wasn't all that thrilled with it. For the money at least

Just using cheap ones from Verizon, can't find a decent tempered one :/

Require Simple Screen Protector - No Glass Screen Protector

Hi there!
I need simple plastic film, clear screen protector, similar to what is installed on new OnePlus 3 out of the box, but this one don't cover edges of the LED, leaving about 2mm exposed from both sides.
Kindly someone give me names or links of full screen protector which is not hard glass, but soft regular screen protector which cover complete screen
Or any other Phones screen protect which can cover OnePlus 3, may be of galaxy S7 Edge
Why i need simple screen protector:
- Its thinner
- Its not noticeable, you don't feel if its there
- Prevents scratches
- Don't make device thicker, by putting extra thick layer
- Can access home button/finger print reader easily, without digging your thumb in
Why i hate Glass Screen protectors
- Thicker, makes phone fatter
- Untidy, makes phone bulky
- buries home button further inside
- At times, i have seen they can damage the screen as well

I am using the IQ Shield and I love it. Fits great and was pretty easy to apply.

I have the iq shield and one thing I didn't like about it is that there is visible orange peeling at certain angles.

protector that comes preinstalled on OnePlus 3 seem to be of a very nice quality to me, issue is that, its short, i feel they could extend it little more to sides, just before it curves down, they made it short intentionally to make people buy there full screen or other temper glass screen protectors.
May be i should try to take screen protector of some other phone, like that of Samsung and try to cut it as per OP3.
May be i can extend it to black bars where the screen ends.

I decided to try the Orzly tempered glass. Normally I'm a huge fan of the Spigen Crystal and Ultra Crystal plastic ones - still almost no noticeable marking on the Crystal I have on my LG G4, and the Ultra Crystal on my wife's Nexus 5 literally saved us a screen replacement last winter. I thought the screen HAD broken, down to ordering a replacement to put in it ... but when I peeled the Spigen off, the screen was fine. They don't have one for the OP3 yet though. So this time I thought I'd try something different with the tempered glass. If I don't like it, I'll have to keep looking.
Interested in seeing if there are any good plastic screen protector recommendations though, in case I find that I'm not a fan of the glass ones.

Best non-glass screen protector.
BestSkinsEver Thank me later (or don't b*tch at me when you F up the wet install, ZAGG style)

I actually really like the original film protector. I still have mine on and I got the phone as soon as t was available and it still looks great.
Anyone know where I can get another? They don't seem to have them at the oneplus store.

Its of good quality, they could cover sides bit more, as curve starts from where black line starts, i guess the made it short for people to buy their accessories and remove it, probably.

They look tempting, but i am not sure how they will even cover the curves, i heard they come off from edges, it would have been better if they had left the curves exposed, just cover the complete LED, just up to the point where LED starts.
Hopefully it will give surprising results.

Tempered Glass

Do you know which is the best tempered glass for our screen?
I have buy the Nilkin H9+ Pro but doesn't fit exaclty to the screen.. it's not only that it doesn't cover ALL the screen , but also it hasn't stick on perimeter

The problem is that the Redmi Note 4 has a slightly curved screen, no cheap tempered glass would cover all of the screen, unless there's a specially designed curved tempered glass for this phone, which not gonna be cheap, like this $55 one from Zagg for the Galaxy S7 Edge: http://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisi...xy-s7-edge/glass-curve-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge
Personally I use a no-brand $1 tempered glass, cheapest one I could find, because in my experience with a tempered glass protectors, I would usually dent, chip, or break them in 3-4 months time (that's why I ordered 3 of them in one go). But with that said, I always wondered how is the quality on the Nillkin, as they sell their tempered glass for almost $10.

Does anyone know, which protection glass xiaomi used if any for redmi note 4? Thnx.

Hi All,
I received this Tempered glass screen protector as a gift upon purchase of my phone.
As you can see from the pics attached it is around 3mm short of the edge all the way round, I understand that you need to take into account the 2.5 curved edge but it doesn't even come close to that edge.
I haven't put it on yet as it feels quite thick & I would think it feels quite bad when your finger drops off the edge.
Can someone else that has received a glass for the RN4 upload pics of theirs & compare the gaps, I'm wondering this one is wrong & not for the RN4.
Edit:
Added pic without the Tpu cover on the phone for comparison.

You think yours is bad check mine out!! Messaged the seller (via ebay) and they sent a new one in the post, only problem is that its exactly the same, so now ive got two screen protectors that dont fit! Ive a feeling its for the Redmi 4 and not the Note 4 which would make sense as the label looks like its 'Redmi 4' but it should be 'Redmi Note 4'.

Thinking of ordering this one as its 'edge to edge' and so should at least fit across the whole screen. Or failing that just a film plastic one would do. The whole 2.5 glass thing is cool but a disaster with screen protection, I had the exactly same issue with the galaxy s7. I actually thought the regular S7 would be less problematic that the S7 edge but i was wrong.

No its ok, ive got two and will just stick them together and they'll cover the screen lol :laugh:
That one you linked looks decent, maybe the soft edge will help when using with cases, as I know with the S7, there were the same kind of issues. Like the standard screen protectors didnt cover the screen properly but the full screen ones popped up when used with certain types of cases, so the soft edge might help.

Lol, no chuck em my way, I have an Xperia Z 10.1" screen I need covering & I can use my left overs from my OPPO also.

I don't think they can make it any bigger because of the 2.5d roll away of glass that slowly tapers off, that would make a gap underneath I think.
I have this & it's nearly perfect:

It's the annoying thing about 2.5D displays, although it does feel/look nice and smooth, it seems well fitting glass screen protectors are impossible to get/make. I would gladly go back to a flat edged screen. In fact 2.5D glass and bezeless screens are two trends/features that I would be happy enough to see the back of. Im still waiting on some film and glass protectors arriving, just cheap ones of eBay so not holding out much hope of them being good, but I would be happy with just a plastic film protector just to try to stop minor scratches.

Case and screen protector

I received a basic case and a glass screen protector the other day that I ordered off ebay. The case is ok, just a clear tpu/gel type, not great but will protect from scratches and hopefully any drops. I think they sent the wrong screen protector though as its far too small, in both height and width, maybe its for the Redmi 4's 5" screen. Any way i sent the seller a message and they're sending out another in the post.
Would actually like to get the below case at some point, although i was the black was actually blacker as it looks more like gray.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4-3-Slim-Rugged-Hybrid-Armor-Stand-Shockproof-Case-Cover-/291891199468?var=&hash=item43f6123dec:m:mSwMQcpYNH6nPM2zzCQ6n5Q
So will update again once i receive it, i still have the matte protector on that comes as part of the packaging on the phone which is serving a purpose for now. Looking forward to actually removing it though to enjoy the screen properly!

I think the case looks good, just may want to check before buying as it says it's also for the Redmi Note 3...
I remember watching a YouTube video on the differences between case sizes & cutout placement between the 2 devices.

Yes just need to make sure to select the right model in the drop down option and hope they dont send the wrong one! I had a pretty similar case for my S7 and it was solid, it was a copy of a more expensive one but was a good job.

On mine both the case and the screen protector I got were wrong. The case will fit on the phone but none of the holes line up at all... even the finger print sensor is obscured. Its as if its a case for another phone (it is) And the screen protector too small again. And the camera hole is on the wrong side...

I use the same combination.Transperated thin silicon case+temperated glass.

I'm still not having much luck with screen protectors!!
So... before Xmas I ordered some glass ones and plastic film ones. A glass one arrived yesterday which my wife opened (she orders a lot of craft bits and pieces from eBay/China) and unfortunately cracked the protector. It was only 0.99p so not bothered and the packaging was partly to blame, while it was substantial enough, polystyrene blocks wrapped in tape (no box), it's hard to get into.
Also there was only one protector sent out, but the listing was for x2. So dropped an email to the seller and they were very helpful and offered a refund or to send another, so I've asked them to place another in the post.
In the meantime I was able to apply the broken one, as it's still mostly in one piece, with most of the damage at the top. But it's just good to finally replace the factory fitted film cover as it was staring to not stick at all as it had collected that much dust.
So the protector itself seems to be similar to most ones people have got, it just about fits the width down the sides with smallish gaps at the bottom obviously due to the 2.5d screen curves. It's not perfectly straight as I wasn't even sure it would go on at all due to being damaged but it will prevent any scratches and it's great to fully enjoy the RN4's HD display which is pretty awesome in my opinion.

I won't laugh.... you've had a bad trot with them, but must have been nice to peel away the factory protection though.
Maybe when you're wife's next package arrives from China, you take it out to the shed & whack it with a rubber mallet a few times to tenderise it

It is great to see the screen properly, albeit with some cracks at the top. Can't emphasise how good the display on this thing is. In my opinion it's just not worth going over 1080p for a mobile screen. I got a VR headset for Xmas and have been testing it out. It works great although I suppose that's the one area where the S7's display would have had an advantage with the higher resolution. It also makes me wonder how crazy the battery life would have been if they would have stuck a 1080p panel in it as it was pretty decent as it was.
But hey, there's another glass screen protector on its way and I've instructed the Mrs to leave it to me to open!

Is anyone here using a cheap tempered glass protector and is satisfied with it? By that I mean perfect seal on the sides and no dust has gotten inside the screen area. By cheap I obviously mean side adhesive protectors since I have yet to see a generic version of the Whitestone.
I'm asking because they're not all the same. I bought one for my S8+ and it fully adhered to the sides of the screen. No dust ever got into the screen area.
I bought a 4-pack from a different seller on ebay and I would get dust inside within a day so obviously some use better adhesive than others.
I need to pick up something from Amazon or Ebay quickly. I'm using the Ringke Invisible Defender (garbage) and there's too much friction when scrolling or when using the s-pen.
It's like making love to tree bark.

I'm on my third and they all suck so far. I even purchased a 25 dollar one due to great reviews. It fit great but no glue on the screen so there was a HUGE loss of sensitivity and a lot of "clicking". I just bit the bullet and bought the Whitestone Dome Glass.

I'm on my second one so far and still not happy. I tried one from Poetic and totally sucked. Sucked so bad they e-mailed me lol and said they were sending out replacements.
I'm using one now that's better than the first one but still not happy. This one's by Wellci. It's not great but it's cheap and works pretty good.

I said pretty good.... Not great.

ive tried several, they all peel up on the corners...idk what to do

Weren't they able to pull these off for the 7? Kind of concerned, I bought a wet apply which I haven't opened yet. Seems like the dark ages.

I have high hopes for the IQ shield wet apply as I had a good experience with the S8+ version. Hopefully they have a matte version.
The Spigen wet apply isn't very good.
But all of these wet apply ones are going to be terrible given the use of the s-pen.

I bought a cheap tempered glass screen protector from eBay hoping it would be ok.
This thread does not inspire hope.
Once my phone arrives, I'll apply the screen protector and report back.
I may be quite angry.

The ONLY one worth a $hit is the whitestone dome glass. All the others are trash plain and simple. I had it on my S8+ and it was perfect and I expect the same out of the note 8 version. I am waiting for mine to come in actually. Should be here by next monday I believe.

Simply use loca octopus glue and a uv light on any of those options. Whitestone replica
