Hello. I've ordered a Mi 6 from GearBest a couple of days ago. It will probably take at least a month to arrive, but I guess I should already order the extras so I'll have them at hand by then too.
I'm looking at different glass protectors and it seems there's nothing with no issues? Many complain the one they bought covers too little of the screen, or that it detached too easily. Perhaps even cracked spontaneously.
What will you recommend? Is there anything which gives complete coverage well? I'll buy a case as well, so I don't want something that might get pulled off when putting a case on.
Thanks in advance.
Stock are good that comes with, can sustain a drops easily. I already use it for over 6 months and been dropped from 1 meter at screen, few times before crack occurred.. Today I think i'll replace it with Nilkin that I got when I purchased it back in summer. Btw Nilkin IMHO is one of the best glasses if not best.
NILLKIN 9H/9H+/H+ Pro is the best i ve tried , no easy scratches, ΝΟ fingerprint at all, 2,5 D edges, its likge touching the phone screeen, its also thinest than the others i tried...
Well, I ended up buying "ASLING 2.5D Screen Protective Film" from GearBest, and it doesn't seem to stick entirely well. Like most available glass screen protectors, it doesn't go to the very edge of the glass front - so I didn't think the rounded edges of the Mi 6 should interfere (perhaps they're actually not the cause), but the edges of the Asling don't stay "glued" to the phone. They are a bit raised so there is a 5mm hazy white area along all edges. I guess dirt could also get under these parts as they're not flat. The more internal part did stick pretty easily with no bubbles.
This is great, covers the full phone and sticks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...aomi-mi6-tempered-glass-full/32813722170.html.
Wondering if you guys are using the phone with or without screen protection? I just got my phone and just love the way it the screen feels without anything else on it. Will the screen get scratches easily without protection? I'm not sure what kind of glass this is.
no matter which glass is, sometimes get scratches... no one screen 100% scratch protected...

Yeah, i'm using a tempered screen protector
I'm using without screen protector. No scratches, but I take care of my phones well. (Except for when I dropped metal on my last phone and broke part of the screen, but surely I won't do that twice)
The Mi Mix phones are very prone to screen breakage, so take any and all precautions.
I shattered two screens on the Mi Mix, one that the digitizer stopped working (a 3.5 foot drop), had film type screen protector.
I tried the Mi mix 2, and used a glass type screen protector. The phone had the original Mi Mix 2 case, and had a drop, the screen protector broke... sheesh.
I now have the Mi Mix 2s, and I ordered an aftermarket case that surround the top edge of the screen creating a lip (the phone laying flat on a flat surface, the screen will not touch).
I bought liquid screen protector, and gave the phone screen 5 treatments over a 12 hour period.
I also installed a glass screen protector while I wait for the 5D screen protector to arrive in the mail.
I am compromising less on the case this time, and going for more protection. In the past, I have used the oem case, keeping everything slim and compact. But because these phones are not easy to service (parts are hard to come buy, and tech are not all capable of working on these phones), I am waiting on the newest case to arrive. I went with a clear tpu bumper type case, that has added protection on the corners, comes with metal button backing for magnetic holders, and a ring holder.
Screen protector will help, but a proper case is mandatory.

The case, for me anyways (I had on a Mi Mix) is not enough protection in drop. I had THAT type of case, on my Mi Mix and the screen and digitizer broke from a 3.0' drop onto tile floor, hit the corner of the phone screen (it was a dead drop fall, not a toss type fall) rendering the phone completely inoperable.
The Mi Mix is / was a heavy phone, and the Mix 2 & Mix 2S are no light weights either.
I have to go with something that has a little more corner edge protection (a fall landing on the corners is a no mercy fall, it will probably sustain damage), whereas if the phone lands on it's edge flush there is considerably less damage sustained.
I wish TECH21 would of made a case for the Mi Mix 2s, there suspension absorption design is second to none, and they look amazing to boot.
Cheers
The problem with all the screen protectors i bought so far is that they all seem to be build for the mix 2, not the mix 2s. And the display of the 2s is slightly larger so there is no 100% percentage coverage in any of them. Have the phone for about 2 weeks now, already changed 4 glass protector, all of them suck because they are a little bit smaller than the screen or the roundness of the corners is smaller than the actual screen. Awaiting for alien surface to possibly launch a protector dedicated to mix 2s. Until than i'll rather risk and use the phone with no protector than use it with a ugly as hell one.

I was talking about protectors made for mix 2 being sold as compatible fir mix 2s and they just aren't. I should know sice I exauasted all the mix 2s variants being sold in my country and for the sake of experimenting i bought 2 models for the mix 2 hoping they'll fit somehow the mix 2s. Well they don't. I am still hopeless in finding a screen protector that doesn't look an feel like crap for this phone. At least one bought directly from vendors in Romania wherei live. Never had this kind of problem with the mi5 that i previously used. And i feel reluctant i paying 15 dollars for shipping from Amazon or eBay since i have no way of knowing those are any better than the ones i bought so far. So if anybody has a good protector with the link from where it was bought... Feel free to help. Thanks v

With installation applicator, I can install the screen protector on my Mix 2s so easily. And the quality of the screen protector is decent so far. Would recommend it.
Since you are asking the link, and you are from Romania, you may want to order it from Amazon UK. Here is the link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C7115LH

Thank you for taking the time to post this!
This is by far the best screen protector for mix2s i've seen. Thanks again for your trouble to post it!
Meanwhile i got this
https://aliensurface.ro/produs/xiao...-hd.html#/26-alege_acoperirea_telefoane-ecran
It's made by some Romanian company but it's an interesting concept. It looks great on the phone, it feels great, unfortunately it's just plastic not glass, so I fear it has zero protection against drops, but other than that it's a great product. And no, the phone was not damaged in any way while I had to spray the liquid on the screen to install it.
Without a case? TG(Tempered Glass) protector is a must have.
With the default case, one could get away with a plastic protector. I would personally still get a TG one though.
With a case that offers good protection, a protector might not be required.
Disclaimer: That is my opinion, and should not be taken as facts.
I had a mix 2 before this and let me tell you, you will get scratches no matter how careful you are. My gf bought an iPhone 8 plus at the same time I got mi mix 2 and hers looked much much worse, but you do get fine scratches over time. The ceramic on the back is really tough though.
How has your Mi A2 held up so far? Using a case or no case? Any scratches, bends, camera lens scratches, etc?

Bought mine on August/2018. Still rock solid, no scratches on the camera lens, no scratches on the body and some really minor scratches on the screen, which is normal on any gorilla glass. I don't use a screen protector but I use a case since the phone is very slippery. The phone has never been dropped.
The battery is also holding up quite well, haven't noticed any degradation yet. My previous phones, all Motorolas (Moto X 2014, Moto Z and Moto Z2), were already turing off with 5-10% of charge at this point, and I'm still getting the same SOT I was getting when the phone was new. I expect it to hold up quite nicely until the end of next year, which is when I intend on buying a new phone.
Very well spent money, still happy with it as I was day one.
Mine is 6gb/128gb model and I use it from November 2018,.. So far no scratch or dent.. Phone is solid rock, for front I'm using tempered glass since first day, for outer protection I just use included silicone case.. Battery for me kinda good. Better than my previous Moto G5s plus
I'm generally very impressed with the build quality - with one notable exception: The screen glass.
After having had the phone for two weeks I dropped the phone - on snow - from low height - and the screen glass cracked. Then a few weeks later I dropped it again - from maybe half a meter, onto a carpet - and the screen shattered completely! The glass covering the main camera has also been cracked, but I have no idea how that happened.
Now, I've cracked the glass on a couple of phones before, but that has always been after lots of very high-impact drops. Compared to that, the fragility of the Xiaomi Mi A2 is just ridiculous. Could be just my phone though, so interesting to hear other peoples experience.
had it since august 2018, holding up ok with just a case no screen cover, no scratches, no ota updates problems.
Hello,
Just wanted to share my experience with tempered glasses on Mi9se.
First I tried this one:
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07P88H5GC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was quite ok, but covered only the screen part which is on, not the bezels.
It cracked when I tried to clean it up so I bought an other one.
As I knew Nillkin's reputation on cases, I bought this one:
https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6461
This is the best! Covers very well the screen and bezels, the camera, and even the camera on the back of the phone.
Don't know about the strenght yet, but I definitely recommend it.
Used Nilkin glass for 1.5months now and after 1 month I wake up and find air inside or whatever that I couldn't push out. On the top the air hole appeared as well a week later. The glass cracked in my pocket while sitting whole day in the office lol. My previous glass that I used for 2.5 years didn't get air trapped inside (I had problems applying but after few days of pushing hard it never lost contact with the display)

That's a shame. Did you have the H+ pro or H flat edge? I hope mine won't end like yours.
Would be great if xiaomi built some tempered glasses themselves. I had one from oneplus on my oneplus 5t and it was very very good, despite the quite expanssive price.

H+ pro
lol so after seeing I hit dead end and that I can protect this phone I decided to peel this protector off. I was very gentle but immediately after raising it just snapped in half (no sound no nothing just the line that bends extremely easily). Feels very soft stuff like some soft plastic. It's a shame that for few weeks there was no signs of any trapped stuff and later air would get in micro dot that I couldn't get rid off and whole big air gap would reaper shortly after
Does the Nillkin screen protector affect the in screen fingerprint scanner in any way?

Good. I just ordered one. Also the H+ pro with curved edges.
It has arrived.
I was able to put it on without any dust nor air beneath. So far so good.
Putting on the camera protection was a bit finicky for me. But I have that on too now, without dust nor air. I needed multiple attempts there. Cleaning that with a wet wipe (both sides) works very well for a restart though. I would probably not do that with the screen protector.

Hello, you know that glass can be adapted to my 9se from other brands
Hello all,
I'm about to order the P5, and one of my concerns is wether or not to use a screen protector. I haven't had one on my phones since my HTC Touch Pro, kinda hate them, but on the other hand it's been years since I've bought a 600 euro phone. I'm ready to order either the zagg or the luibor one.
My current device (Mi A2) uses gorilla glass 5, which according to a few articles I read has roughly the same scratch resistance as the 6 used on the pixel. Two years of use, just a few microscratches, barely noticeable without really looking for them.
I'll use a case of course, follow necessary precautions, but still I'm wondering if the screen is prone to getting scratched easily. Anyone using it without a protector and have spotted any microscratches on the screen or the camera glass?

Interested in this too. Just ordered my P5. All my previous phones I slapped a screen protector on, but none had gorilla glass (currently on pixel 3a XL, which I don't think does).
Anyone that can share their experiences with gorillas glass 5 or 6 would be appreciated.

Pixel 2xl had gorilla glass as my p2 did. Never use screen protectors with ultra thin cases and I'm a diesel mechanic. Got the p2 the month it came out and only have a tiny scratch where I dropped it with oily hands face down in the shop.

As stated above. Still a dirty mechanic and my p5 is flawless
Every new version of Gorilla Glass offers better protection against breakage. To make glass shatter resistant they have to make it softer and that makes it easier to scratch. Except for the Galaxy S10 that had a factory protector I've never used a screen protector and never had a problem though. I keep my phone in my pocket and so far it's never been a problem.
Glass will eventually scratch. It takes a tiny bit of the wrong material in your pocket to rub against the glass.
Just get a $6 screen protector and you're good
I've never used a screen protector, pointless paying for something and not enjoying it, screen protectors are awful compared to the joy of the screen

I've always used a tempered glass screen protector on all my flat phones. (These were hopeless on the curved edge ones.)
I got one on my 5 for peace of mind more than anything else, along with a clear gel case for the back.
I dont find they detract from the use of the phone, especially as the 5 does not have an in-screen fingerprint scanner.
However, I've had ones from 2 different companies now, and both seem too small to me. They are at least 5mm too small, both height and width.
Three weeks with the P5 without a screen protector and everything was fine, no scratches at all. And then I lost my nerve and put a Spigen protector on, which went on flawlessly with no bubbles. Good luck with whatever you choose!
Screen seems fine! Never have used a screen protector...
The higher the Gorilla Glass number, the worse the scratch resistance and the more plastic and the better crack resistance. The lower the number, less plastic, better scratch resistance and less crack resistance. This isn't rocket science.
I have a deep scratch in my P5 after holding two phones together, most likely a grain of sand. My fingernail gets caught up on the scratch, but no micro scratches. My P3XL has micro scratches.
