As with any phone, this is a pretty hot topic and I expect no less from this phone.
Please share your experiences with tempered glass screen protectors in this thread so they do not clutter the forum.
Coming from the Nexus 6, tempered glass screen protectors were a nightmare . the curved screen made them have a halo effect and caused proximity sensor issues. I'm hoping this phone is not going to be the same.
Personally I just ordered the Spigen glass.tr slim for my phone.. It can be found for 9.99 + free shipping on amazon currently. I will be reporting back with my review once I receive it and my phone.
I've had bad luck with the tempered glass protectors. On both my Nexus 5 and my Nikon DSLR, I've had the tempered glass break - no damage to the screens themselves, just broken screen protectors. No thanks.
I'd say they did their job then ... Seems they protected your phone from breakinh

Exactly, that's their whole point, to break instead of your screen.
Well, you'd think so, but nope. They just broke.
I wish you better luck than I had.

I've had them on my last 3 phones and never have they just broken
I guess you had a bad batch or bad quality protector

Yeah, lots of folks like them, I've just had bad luck. One on a DSLR, one on a phone, both from reputable manufacturers, and a couple years apart. Neither lasted two months, and I do baby my gear. Weird.
I've had a tempered glass protector on my Galaxy S5 and have had to replace it once do to a crack straight across due to a fall. And yes, the actual screen is perfectly fine. I already received my Spigen tempered glass protector in the mail.

I've broken 3 tempered glass screen protectors so far and damaged 0 phones screens I ordered the Spigen as well
My spigen arrived in the mail today.. Looks great. Can't wait to try it on the phone
In my house, we've got tempered glass protectors on a Galaxy Tab A and a iPhone 6S plus, they have been working out great. We use TechMatte amFilm brand.
I haven't had a screen protector on my GS5 for the last year and don't have any noticeable scratches. Is the tempered glass the way to go? Seems that everyone likes the Spigen one...

They can get scratched I promise, anything with quartz in it like sand, dirt etc will scratch it. I like the Spigen one because they are generally good for the price
My laid my spigen on top of my Cruzerlite bugdroid case to get an idea of coverage and it appears as though the screen protector goes edge to edge..leaving just barely enough room for a lip on a case

If direct light (e.g. sunlight) hits the screen, then you can see the hairline scratches. Is it noticeable in daily use? No. I do see the scratches in direct light only

I've scratched some of mine from dropping my looking between my car seat and center console but that's why I use screen protectors. It seems that really aren't 9h if they get s scratched by step l steel which should be softer

I can understand that dropping it changes the situation. I am partially debating whether to get one
That's good to know that the screen protectors may not be 9H since steel can scratch it. I wonder why they say it is...

I am clumbsy so but I've never actually broken a phones screen yet I've broken many tempered glass screen protectors.
Does tempered glass add noticeable weight and thickness to the phone? Haven't used one before and thinking about it.

Usually they are 0.3mm thick so not really thickness and the weight is negligible
Hey guys and gals, I have my 5X for a little over a month now and since the day I got it, I installed a tempered glass screen protector on it. At first there were no bubbles/spots, but now I'm starting to notice a little bubble (like it's peeling off) at the top left corner, near the front camera. Was casually talking with a friend about how much we enjoy our 5Xs when he said that his screen protector was coming off from the top left corner as well. He showed me his 5X, with a pretty big "bubble" under the screen protector with the size of a fingertip, again at the top left corner. So I was thinking is it just ours protectors that bad (mine is unbranded chinese for $1 and his is a branded $10-15 one) or just the 5X is unnoticeable uneven and its common to have the screen protector peeling off after months of usage?
P.S. Comming from a Xperia M2, I applied a cheap $1 glass protector 2 years ago and it still as good as new.

Yep. I just removed my screen protector for that reason. It looked ugly. Will go protector less for a while, Try to break the psychological barrier. With Gorilla Glass 3 and above there is no point really for them anyway.
Do you have a case on it? I would guess maybe something else bumped it? I haven't had any problems. Either way they are so cheap, just replace it.
I had a screen protector on it, but I didn't like how it felt, so I've only been using a case now.
Never had this issue with IntelliGlass tempered glass on my 5x.

All depends on how well you applied it. I've had my cheap Pleson on since release back in October.

Tempered glass for me too. Top right corner has very slight peel back. My guess is the screen rolls off very slightly at the corners. Barely more noticeable than a fingerprint smudge so I've let it be. The rest of it is flawless so I'll leave well enough alone.
I agree with going protector-less. On my N4 before this and on my N5x, I only had a regular bumper case. I never had anything beyond a superficial tiny scratch on the N4 towards the end of it's life with me, which was three years. If you're not carrying it somewhere with keys or similar, you'll be fine. If I have to carry it in a bag where something can scratch it, I put it in a lens pouch that I got with my sunglasses.

Its not only for scratch protection but break protection. In theory the tempered glass breaks before the actually display's glass. Kind of like a crumple zone in cars which absorb the force. I've seen videos of people peeling the protector off and it's fine underneath. However, I'm sure with enough force you could possible break both but I haven't seen videos of that.

The screen protector breaks first because it's not Gorilla Glass.
I think it only makes the device heavier.

Gorilla Glass isn't that great on break protection:

I dunno. The only time I broke a screen was on the N4 when hiking and climbing over something so that I bend the phone in my back pocket. Or the N5 when i stumbled down the stairs and landed on my ass, nearly breaking the phone in half (again in my back pocket).
There's no reason for protectors, screen is fine as is.
Also, my biggest issue with screen protectors is that they get more oily and more fingerprint smudge than the screen does (depends on manufacturer though... my OnePlus One for example was more oily than screen protectors.)

So in your case, keeping your phone in the back pocket is the issue. LOL. I take having to wipe my screen a little more often (Which I don't think I'm really doing) than having to deal with a cracked display.

I used glass protector, it peeled off from sides and got very smudgy then I replaced it with a cheap plastic one and it gives basic scratch protection while being cleaner than glass one. Secondly the plastic one doesn't peel off like glass protectors. I have ordered Supcase for drop protection.

using a chinese tempered glass for 4 months now.
great condition just like in the first day of applying it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will order few 1$ protectors and apply them till i get perfect results
Hello Guys, i have had my one plus 3 now for a while and i decided lately to remove the screen protector and i have to say screen fills much more smoother , cooler to the feel and not mention much vivid for sure. i think gorilla glass dose good protection towards scratches prevention , for sure some very small scratches may occur which are hardly noticeable, so tell me guys do you use any protection on your screen?
Have some kind of sock for tough days. Apart from that... Gorilla glass screen and the watch everything through as USD 15 protector? Get a great telly and then glue some plastic onto the screen?

I havent remove the film and dying to. I lost hope on tempered glass, theres still not one TG that works well. The official OP3 is the best but still cut a few mm from the side of the screen.
Now with that been said, i went naked with my nexus 6p and with the in and out of my packed one day (2 weeks after purchase) i notice a 2 inch scratch in the middle of the screen. Even thougn is gorilla glass.
Now i had the note 3 note 5 and galaxy s7 for months running naked and u my see small hairline scratches in the sun but nothing to go crazy about.
My believe is that even though gorilla glass is though, ill be concern more on what kind of coating it uses. Cause coating scratches looks like regular scratches. Thats what i believe my nexus 6P had.

i have never applied any type of protection to my screen before, my pervious phones where all samsung, the last phone was galaxy s5 and i noticed a very thin scratch during strong sunlight but it was not a big deal i never notice it again once i forgot about it, i feel like adding screen protector ruins the experience,but some people likes having it
My NEXUS 5 running naked since 2013, it has few scratches on screen , but u will appreciate only when u r deliberately searching for them, so in short its good if you use it naked.
Always used all my phones naked (no screen protectors, no cases) and I don't regret it. I simply take care of my devices.
- OP3: 5 months old now, looks just like at day 1.
- ASUS Padfone 2: used it for 3 years, has only 1 tiny scratch on Gorilla Glass 2 (and quite a bit scratched plastic back)
- Galaxy S: used it for 2 years, gave it to my mom who's still using it (over 5.5y old now). Has 2 tiny scratches on screen (GG1) and completely scratched back [emoji14]
So I'd say Gorilla Glass really doesn't need any additional protection. Except if you have sand (or other hard minerals) in your pockets.
Case on the other hand is optional. I don't like them personally, but won't deny their usefulness. Aluminum is pretty soft and will scratch way more easily than screen.

Heck i just removed mine now. Only payed $200 for the phone. But even then this film protector is annoying not been full screen
I always like to use my phones naked, without anything, cause it feels the best. But then there is sand. It did my Note 3's screen, and since then no way I am letting any phone's display, Gorilla or Hulk glass, don't matter which to run naked. Just get any quality protective screen like Nillkin or something, and you are good to go. I am a pretty much careful user by the way. Obviously would recommend a tempered glass one but its meaningless on a 2.5D screen anyway.
Im not using any protection
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I have my phone since it was launched, I've removed the factory screen protector right after I've unboxed it, and it has been naked since then. No scratches whatsoever.
I removed the one protector which came with OP3 and I saw scratches after a month usage itself. They were in the shape and pattern which made me realize that my thumb's nail made them. I am no wolverine so obviously its something which gorilla glass is lacking. The scratches weren't too obvious when the screen was on, but were visible when it was off. Ended up putting the OP tempered glass coz I didn't want to spoil it further. No issues with smoothness however the edges are few mm short

Spends tons on crappy nilkin and ozly glass with the same no screen glue bs.(the sharp edged hurts my ear when calling too) And a few other generic non-full cover glass.(is it so goddamn hard to make?) Got feed up and torn it off one day. Been using without glass and case for a month now, no scratches on both screen and metal. Dropped a couple of times on ceramic and carpet, no damage. Went to the beach and got sand on it, still no damage. Wash it under tap after beach, still no water damage. Thought I fear one day it will all come back at me, so do not recommend you use it without protection.
Seriously, oneplus may design their phone however beautiful, but if any protection at all null the "curve screen glass technology" I'll rather they keep it on the board and make a more functional phone that need no protection like the htc.

Yup. Saw some water resistance testing at youtube where he dip it in a container for 30 minutes, so why not just some wash under a tap. Of course I bear no responsibility if you break your phone, but I did it after I turn the phone off, then dry all the ports with tissue. I did not directly aim the water at the ports tho, just wash over it, cause my main concern was washing the sand off the screen.
edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlkisMlH5fY He didn't do it for 30 minutes, but its working fine.
update : after using the phone for about 2 weeks, without screen protector idecide to check the screen under strong falsh light, and i found severla micro scratches that are not visible easily , but nothing deal breaker there they are not visible in daily usage.
I am currently using my phone with mivi tempered glass and I am satisfied with it so far the tg feels so buttery buttery smooth.I had a rainbow affect in the beginning but I kept my phone under my pillow and slept on it and on the next day the rainbow affect was gone.
I removed my screen protector and what should I say... its a great feeling [emoji23] The phone looks much nicer and the screen is so smooth.

So I got a oneplus 3t 2 days ago and took it to college for a day. I was blown away by the whole experience. The speed, camera quality, charging speeds and overall feel to the device really surprised me. After my first day with it, I got home and realized about 10 micro scratches along the bottom of the glass at the curve. I was taken aback because I never have scratches on my phones after over a year of having them and this had a bunch after a day.
My pockets were completely empty (no dust at bottom or anything). Since the scratches were at the top of where it would be in my pocket, I figured maybe a stud on my pants scratched it as I pulled it in or out. Checked my pants and no studs on the pair I was wearing. The phone was in my hands or pocket the entire day. How in the hell did it get scratches from touching soft cloth and flesh all day? Like what the hell, did they make their glass out of the ****tiest glass in the world?
If you don't use a protector, you will get scratches. Sorry!
Strange though, my tempered glass is still flawless, not a scratch on it. If I'd go naked I'm sure I get million scratches within the day.
Why did you go naked? Phone comes with a pre applied screen protector
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
I agree the screen is VERY soft. I have a few hairline scratches on mine, and that was after day one of taking the plastic protector off (like a dummy).
Mine has dents and scratches all over the phone, lol
Here's a sample video from youtube
Its really a gorilla glass and the back camera is sapphire, its not easy to scratch according to the video
Jerry rig everything did his scratch test and it scratched like any phone at a level 6. But in a pocket you can have anything microscopic. Sand is the number one thing found in pockets and is a killer to any phone even gorilla glass 4 that the 3T has. https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=24t5yhGvvRs
https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=j39qdOHHWpk
Mine has a hairline scratch too after 14 days of taking care...
Anyone else who took good care and never layed it facedown on table etc. and it scratched?
I've been using my 3T for a couple of weeks now without a screen protector and the screen is still flawless. I usually keep it in a neoprene pouch when not in use though. I really hate plastic screen protectors, and all of the current offering of glass protectors are too flawed in my opinion.

Gorilla Glass 4 actually sacrificed some scratch resistance when compared with Gorilla Glass 3 in order to increase shatter resistance. So if you're coming from GG3 you may notice that.

True lol, and plastic screen protector is very easy to replace and its cheap compare to the CGG4 of oneplus 3T which is expensive due to replacement of the whole screen.
Btw there's no official oneplus physical service centers that will handle it
Many people in my country fall for that stupid mistake
Better micro scratches than original plastic protector that attracts smudges as hell and ruins visual experience in general.
My OP3T is naked from day 1 for more than 2 months now and don't see any scratches. Maybe just because I don't give a damn looking at it closely or with a microscope
everydevice every glass can be scratched at certain level of tourcher if you dont like scratch use the protector always
Has any one thought how many scratches our cars have?? and we dont even care
Is this a phone or what? I use it naked. No scratches or anything. Still... I use it.
Do you just say that because scratches aren't affecting you from using the phone or did you check under some light?
Got this phone for few weeks now and just noticed that i got scratches on the camera lens cover. I mean few weeks, really?! with case on and not placed together with any sharp objects. It's so annoying, my P10 plus is way more durable than this phone. Anyone having the same issue?.

The camera lens sticks out quite a bit. Have seen several phones like Samsung and Apple with cracked rear camera lens pieces, so I know better about that area. According to one source, they use aluminosilicate glass. Although the glass may not be exactly Gorilla Glass, Gorilla Glass itself is also aluminosilicate glass. Huawei's glass is likely a different chemical composition. The phone is the slipperiest I've ever encountered, my number one dislike about it.
There are no scratches in my situation. No case or protection has been used. Dislike cases and front tempered glass pieces. In general, careful which surfaces I lay the phone on and how I hold it. Have seen it sliding off uneven surfaces with too much ease.
Thanks for the warnings. I ordered a film protector for the curved screen and a tempered glass protector for the camera with the phone.
Isnt the screen a gorilla glass? I never dropped my phone and still Ive got a scratch on the bottom right corner of my screen. I could run my nail across it to feel the crack. Maybe it got scratched with a key or a coin. F***ng ridiculous. Never happened to any of my previous phones. I seriously doubt the quality now.
