Need a Cheap Dry Application Screen Protector w/o Rainbow effect and With Good Fit

Hi,
So I purchased a set of dry application clear screen protectors for my Nexus 7 and have it installed pretty much perfectly. However, it's not totally transparent as there are like spots that show similar to the rainbow effect on many screen protectors (shown below). NVM, can't post pictures or links with under 10 posts.
I know SPG makes good screen protectors but I don't really want to shell out $20 for 2 screen protectors.
Can you guys recommend a cheap screen protector or seller, preferably under $3 (most likely from eBay) that doesn't have this problem? It just annoys me every time I see it...

Check amazon and read reviews, amazon is very good with accessories for cheap case 3x screen protectors and hdmi connector i paid 25$ :good:

I bought a Nillkin TPU case and it came with I presume a Nillkin screen protector. With the TPU case on, you cannot tell that there is a screen protector on the device. It looks and feels exactly like the stock glass.

Where did you get it from?

Sorry, I meant to say, ebay, this one, from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330853557200

Rearth Ringbo Clear Plus.
Japanese material and S.Korean made.
It feels like glass and its like nothings there. Very fingerprint resistant as well.
13 bucks for a 2 pack.
Rearthusa.com
I've always used SGP but Rearth seems just as good (if not better) and cheaper as well. SGP and Rearth protectors are regarded as one of the best.
You really can't go wrong with any Korean/Japanese screen protectors.

i got this screen protector for my nexus , perfect fit, easy install, inexpensive. Only downside is finger prints. At first i was going to get the spigen ultra crystal but 21.99 for 1 protector is too much. With the Tech Armor you get 3 for 7.95.

I also got the tech armor and I gotta agree its good, I usually use Spigen products. If you lay it down just right the screen protector is almost completely invisible. It feels good to the touch but yes it does attract a bit of finger prints.

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.

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho

Any you can recommend about $20 and under?

First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.

I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

thats becuz the neoflex is a rubber 3m film, not plasti-glass. i honestly like Spigen Neoflex screen protector. only downfall is using the pen on it leaves lines where youve drawn .. but cant be felt by your touch

Oh wow that sucks but for some reason YouTubers recommend this for s8 and note 8 idk man it looks promising but yeah that warning I've never seen before

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.

I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..

I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.

I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?

yes

I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.

Spigen Case for Mate 10 Pro

I've gotta say, after trying 3-4 other silicon/PU cases, the one from Spigen has got to be the best.
I like that there is a lip around the screen so even with a tempered glass screen protector, the phone won't rest on the screen.

Got to agree, good quality from Spigen as usual. Only £10 from Amazon and looks better than all the no brand cases.

Not bulky at all. Maybe a few mm more than the included clear case.

I kinda questioned the same about the odd rectangle part around the camera. Turns out that part releases heat when it's warm while gaming etc. It's like a heat sink fin since the motherboard is around the camera. It's a bit thick but that's the point. To protect the camera and the glass back and front. It's a dust trap though so need to clean it at times especially around the camera.

So I've have my mate 10 pro for a few days, and after looking at all the cases on eBay,Amazon,ect I've settled for this spigen case, it's the most I've pumped out for a case (£13.96 delivered UK) but the all glass body has me worried
Are you guys happy with the case now it's been out a month or so?

Yeah the 2.5d screen protector is garbage, I wish I hadn't removed the one that Huawei fitted because the glass one is too narrow for the screen its still peeling around the edges,

Fantastic case, there is only one thing I don't like.
I can't see my beautiful blue back of the phone and in the front there is nearly nothing but display. Is there a chance of getting a transparent spigen case?

at last I have a great glass screen protector

It's perfect

You are a lucky men, better break 10 thousands protectors than the screen, if you have to replace the screen you loose the water resistance.
Also I wanted to see the case front , aliexpress don't show it in any photo.

I also have a ringke onyx case that gives better protection but can't use it with this glass because they touch in the corners.

Got fed up with dust in the corners of the glass screen protector.. Now naked
