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

Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.
Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass
I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.
I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.
So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.
Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks
Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.
Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.
10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.
no scratches

Yeah, just acquired this phone from roommate, and he hasn't used any screen protectors either. Otterbox commuter covering it but that's it. No scratches.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid
Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.
Hi!
I am planning not to use any protective case/covers etc. accessories for my phone. Is it bad idea? Will Samsung S7 edge look like crap soon or it is scratch resistant and will keep nice look even after few months?
How does your phone looks like now after not using any protective covers? Could you post pictures and aprox time of usage?
Thank you, deff_ins
2 months - no protection , I'm carrying it in a pocket without other things like money or keys . No scratches at all , only fingerprints all over
Im a diehard screenprotector and case guy. Since I had been having so many problems finding a curved protector that sticks, and the ones that dont cover the edge looked like crap, I decided 2 months ago to go without a protector. I have a case that shows the edges well, and covers the frame nice.
After two months I finally have a 1/2 inch scratch on the face...nothing too bad and I will live with it...not sure how it happened but the glass has held up pretty well considering I am not a desk guy and am always using and doing things with my phone outside.
Overall Im surprised the glass has done well. That being said, and now that I have a scratch, I will be looking to get a protector again.

Well, good luck with living dangerously. I have my S7 Edge with the LED cover now for 8 months. During that time I dropped it 3 times. The first time the screen and digitizer were broken. The display replacement cost me Euro 260. 10 days after the repair, it dropped out of my pocket again. Invariably, it always lands on the screen because the LED cover flips open when it falls. Display glass cracked but digitizer still intact. After the first accident I had ordered a tampered glass screen protector from Hongkong. It arrived only 2,5 months later. When I finally got it and tried to fit it, half the display was unresponsive. When I tried to remove the glass protector the phone slipped out of my hand and dropped on the tiled kitchen floor. Guess what happened. Part of the display AND the glass protector shattered. The lucky part is, the upper right corner of the display which was cracked before got shattered. The display is still useable. I actally got used to the broken display. My hope is that in the new year the price for a new display might come down a bit. As I'm not planning to buy another expensive phone anytime soon, a second display replacement is probably the cheapest option.
Bottomline: Yes the S7E is a bloody fragile phone! Depending on the individual clumsiness, it is virtually impossible to assume that you will never drop it over an extended period. If you want to have solid protection you have to go for these hideous army style covers but they make the phone look like a monsterous thing. I like covers with functionality like the LED or S View covers but they only protect the edges and backside of the phone.
The Bottomline of the bottomline: Maybe I shouldn't have bought such an expensive and fragile phone in the first place. End of story. Cheers LJ
Back near camera cracked on mine even though I've never dropped it, had to put a skin on it to hide the crack. Also it has a mark on the main screen, suspect coinage in my pocket done that
Never used a case, I've had mine since two weeks after the release. I always carry it in my pocket with my keys and other stuff. Dropped it only once, no scratches cracks or any other damage.
Been using Carol Blue for 2 months. I slapped a dbrand skin on the back the 1st week so I can use it naked and not worry about back glass scratches.
At office and work, I go naked. Out and about, I put on spigen rugged case. Very easy to put on and off and slim enough and plenty protection.
The front screen now has few minor scratches on it. No idea how that happened. I'm very careful with my phone.
I just put armorsuit screen protector on it and it works PERFECT. loving the phone and how it feels in the hand. Amazing. I now have dbrand skin on back and screen protector on the front. Totally protected from scratches when going with no case at home and office.
i never ever used a case in my life. it hides the beautiful lines of the device
Take it from someone who has been through the process of having the screen replaced - use protection!
I dropped it on its face, from toilet height (yes, I was on the bog after a long night shift!) and before turning it over I just knew it was bad. You hear 30 seconds of cracking noises as they tear through the display glass slowly whilst you contemplate your stupidity at the 'oh s**t' moment you just found yourself in.
Cost me £50 in excess as I was insured luckily, however with no insurance you're looking at £200 ball park.
I actually had the LED case on at the time. That did naff all in protecting the screen. Flip cases really should have some sort of auto close feature! Might have been enough to save the screen if so!
I always thought about going without anything, but I love the led case to much. I don't know how so many people have broken theirs while also using this case, I've dropped it more times than I can count. Even especially since I typically keep the phone on my lap when driving, so I tend to open the door, stand up, and find it on the asphalt ground.
I still even have the square sticker on the back of my phone. No scratches, no breaks, perfect.
Update : just wanted to update my previous post with this new information. I ordered and received the ArmorSuit screen protector for my S7 Edge. I have never used a wet screen protector before and I have never found an edge screen protector that sticks or works either in the dry form or the tempered glass.
I watched the video on installation. it took me about 10 minutes to put it on. I let it air dry for another 15 minutes then using a hair dryer on low setting I got the sides to easily adhere to the screen. Left it overnight, put on my I-Blason edge case. I have never been so happy as I have with this screen protector on it looks amazing. Edges stick perfectly.
I'm glad to have my screen protected again and the case on ..I just don't think it's worth taking the chance with such an expensive device. I lived on the edge for a few months with nothing on it, but I'm glad I have something back on it now.

I wish I took a picture of the device I just returned. Dropped it and it fell on a rock. Ugly circular crack and a first the phone still functioned but after about a week my screen just went haywire and would only turn on after multiple power on and offs.
It was all bad lol
So got my shiny new Note 8 week ago. Also with that got the Whitestone Dome screen protector and alcantara case.
Tried to install screen protector:
1st. attempt: The screen lined up incorrectly from the bottom, tried to "lift it up to the position" just created more airbubles and the glue poured out from the sides.
After cleaning my Note 8 with the alcohol swipes, (It was a mess to try to clean the phone AND the glass screen protector)
2. attempt with the second bottle of glue..... There was a dust particle on the glue itself. Great.
Wait for a week to mobilefun to ship me another one. (while doing so i was "dry- practicing" to get it 100% correct this time)
3. attempt was a charm.... until.... when the glue spread there was 2 small air bubbles... Take the second bottle and "tap" the small air bubbles away. (while doing so being extremely nervous about that the screen protector might move or great new bubbles). Managed to get the bigger one out but there was the small one... Didn't get that out.
Light up the UV light and call it a day. Only problem is now there is small air bubble that is pretttty distracting to say the least.
So, now i am with 50€ in my account from the order. (Because i demanded that they refund me this horrible product). I am left to choose new screen protector.
My options that i have read:
- Rearth invisible defender - The problem with this is that there is "snowfall" effect and the screen is too damn sticky (according to reviews)
- IQ Shield - The problem with this is that the S-pen (according to reviews) leaves trails to the TPU protector. Because it's so soft and it will not cure overtime.
-Zagg invisible shield - Unresponsivnes and the fact that it has "raimbow" -effect on the screen.
New one that i just founded out about:
-Powerpeak Base- According to this guy (Install Jimmy is Promo's "Base Screen protector for Samsung GALAXY S8 & Note 8 here) Its pretty good. Might be ad though... Does any of you have experience on this?
The whitstone does have pretty good responsiveness and all that good stuff. But the problem is the installation and even when i tried to be 100% accurate with the installation, it still greated air bubbles. And the fact that there is a HUGE risk that the glue when cured can cause damage to the screen.... More specifically if you manage to cure the glue when the glue is over the earpiece... you are ****ed with your 1000€ phone.
I am doing the poor mans whitestone. LOCA glue and cheap amazon tempered glass. Took me two tries to get it right. So with two screens and glue, out $20. I did buy a UV lamp for dual use. My phone and girlfriends nails. I had the ZAGG on my S8+, didn't like it at all, unresponsive. But i bet if you glued it on with LOCA it would be good.

Only use skinomi wet i stall protectors.
Use it before on my note edge 4. The spen did leave marks.
But with the note 8. I dont see any marks. So either the protector is better or the tips are softer

do you forsee it lifting up on the edges? did you get the techskin one that comes in a twopack?
I'm currently going through a batch of clear protection film HD skins on my Note 8. Generally are average, but some dont cover the edges that well or some have too much orange peel, or some are not cut correctly. Typical chinese "dog" turd.
So far. Spigen, coverage is excellent, but suffer from a lot of orange peel. Illumi Shield , coverage is rubbish, one side ( left side ) is cut shorter than the other. But less orange peel.
Amovo front and back clear film, the worst ever. The pikeys didnt even inc a lubrication spray with their aggrssive adhesive film. Secondly the film that you remove to apply was stuck like gorilla glue to the actual film. You know, the tab that say "peel here first" and " peel here last".
I dont care less for the glass crap for curved screens, but in search of a half decent clear film currently. The search continues...

Im primarily using and trying non glass type films, similar to the stuff used to protect car paint protection. My background includes being able to apply paint protection film on cars so these are all from the same mold that I have been trying. BTW, heat of a hairdryer will aid in adhering the curved edges once applied- slight tip.
I have not tried IQShield yet, sorry. So far the Spigen one fitted well coverage wise,but their film is very aggressive in the orange peel front,
I might try Skinomi next, but I have heard they cut their films short to save a few bucks.
Lets liase and share our experiences with these type of films, cheers.
Thanks for all of you for the help and responses.
Yes the IQshield and Skinomi are on the top of my list... They are around 20€ including shipping to Finland from Ebay. A bit expensive but lets see....
Im currently using IQshield version 2 (case friendly) for about a week now.
I've done a lot of wet install before so i know what to expect using this type of screen protector. Its been a week now and so far no lifting on the curve part of the screen. it is smooth to touch, sensitivity is normal and very good. Im using a VRSdesign slim case and it works well, all corners fitted very well.
I also used skinomi before and if i remember it right IQshield is more smoother than skinomi in-terms of orange peel feeling. The only problem that is s-pen will leave marks when used with this kind of screen protector. (i tried it at the very bottom and its still have mark after a week)
I can give this IQshield a 7.5/10 score. LOL

I used the tip of placing painter's tape over the speaker. I covered the speaker enough to not interfere with the glass. It worked great! I do have three small bubbles after two tries but can't see them unless I try. My wife's has one bubble in about the same spot as mine. The lower left corner about 1/3 up the screen where the curve starts. There a number of ways to avoid the creation of bubbles. I couldn't say them all because I'm not an expert in LOCA glue and it's properties. Experimentation is the only way to find out.

I am glad that you have started beeing more on forums and social media. I want to thank you for sending me a new one. Now i am waiting for it. Hope this time works.
To be honest, it will be difficult to actually get most tempered glass protectors to stay on this curved glass.. Its a pain and it sucks because I would actually like to get one. I just ordered the whitestore myself..., but they wont be in stock again until the 30th...
I got the PowerPeak Base and it is utter garbage. I lost atleast 30% touch sensitivity and then it just eventually slid off of my phone from me trying to swipe so hard. The middle actually dried up and there was nothing holding the middle to the phone.
I despise the wet installs. They are too soft and will leave indents as you said.. So really its either try tempered glass protectors until you find the one you want, go with indents and wet installs, or just go no screen protector like me!
I have the wet install spigen ones but I tbh would rather go with no protector than use them.
I ordered and installed this on my Note 8 : https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G1W2RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Along with a Spigen Tough Armor case. It seems to work well and no real screen sensitivity issues either.

I get the case friendly 2pack. And havent had problems with lifting.
Had my note 8 since sept 8 and been caseless and no lifting.
Anyone planning on using a cheap protector with LOCA glue needs to check the strength of the LOCA. Some have reported they were not able to remove the protector after using some LOCA glue.
I had 3 attempts at the Dome Glass myself. The first one I got had a broken bridge. I could not get the glue in the right spot. Whitestone refunded me. I bought the next set from Amazon. Everything was perfect until I peeled the plastic off the back of the protector. There must have been a fleck of dirt near the side. I did not see it as I did not have enough light.
I sent the second one back to Amazon and just had to pay return shipping. With the third one I took a different approach. I used a totally level counter top in the bathroom. I ran the shower with hot water for about 10 minutes so the whole bathroom was steamed up. This kept the dust down. I cleaned the phone screen and when I removed the plastic from the protector, it somehow grabbed another piece of dirt. Due to the extreme lighting, I saw it and removed it before installing. It installed perfectly with no dust/dirt or air bubbles. I did the first cure with the UV light then took it out of the jig and wiped the sides, top and bottom with an alcohol pad. I then did the final cure. Not one ounce of glue seeped out. I did not protect the speaker or anything else. If this is done perfectly, this is the absolute best protector available IMHO. The problem is anything short of a perfect install will drive many of us with OCD crazy.
On Monday we traded in my Mothers iPhone and she went with a Note 8. The Dome Glass arrived today. This time, perfect install the first time. I wish Whitestone would include 2 pieces of glass per package since this is the most expensive Note 8 protector. Their CS is a bit slow but they did take care of me in the end. It's a bit of a ripoff to sell the kit for 49 but then only sell the glass and one tube of glue for 39. The refill pack should be 15-20 at the highest.
After a week, none of my edges are lifting at all. Some may be using cases that are not compatible. My protector does not touch my case at anyplace. I think cases that touch the protector have a good chance of raising the edges. Even if the case looks fine after install, if grabbing it makes the case touch the glass, it will eventually lift and get bubbles.
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.
Hey guys. I just got my Find X3 Pro and am absolutely loving it so far, but I'm not loving the screen protector that came on it. Has anyone ventured to try any of the tempered glass or TPU ones on Amazon yet?
May i ask if you removed that build in plastic - cheap looking - screen protector? in case you did remove it did you notice if the screen looks better ? f.e. brigher etc? cause i have not yet removed it but i think it dims the screen a bit...

I removed it because i really felt the rims when using the gestures from the sides and bottom.
Didn't notice more brightness.
I haven't removed the screen protector yet, the screen must be really hard I damaged the screen protector the first day.
I put my phone in my pocket whilst removing an ATM (legally) and it's just wrinkled the edge , with no damage to the screen at all!
The only screen protectors I've been tempted to get are on eBay and they are tempered glass privacy ones from China to the UK.
I'll update what they are like.

I tried 2 types of screen protector.
The first in tempered glass and with curved edges and the second is gel film.
The first is bad because the edges go to touch the cases (which we all use to protect it from falls) causing the uplift of the side edges with consequent loss of touch sensitivity.
The second is much better but it also has the same problems with the covers. I resolved cutting the side edges and the corners of the gel film with a cutter.
I never managed to have a perfect screen protector. You ALWAYS feel the sides of the screen protector when you slide your finger over it (for example to slide from the curved side or from the top to open the notifications). Apparently I'm overly sensitive for that

Put a hydrogel and dont put your case on for 2-3 days. After that you should be able to easily put the case on without any risk of hydrogel uplifting.
Is the hydro gel bad for the original screen guys? Looked at it several times but don't dare to apply

Why are u afraid of? Its like a screen protector but more flexible/gummy. Water is used to apply it on the screen.
don't use screen protectors at all they make you screen get worse but IF YOU NEED ONE hydro gel are weak af and don't do jack **** to protect you phone but make the screen look less worse than temped tempered are the opposite more strong but less visability
The case is the display's primary protection*.
It should be slightly raised on the edge above the display and more so on the top/bottom.
I prefer using a wet apply urethane screen protector as the are easy to place, long lasting and inexpensive.
In 2 years of using the Zizo Bolt case and Gorilla IQ Sheild on my Note 10+ there's been zero damage to the phone in spite of a lot of drop onto concrete. Try as you may, eventually they take the plunge... a good case will save them almost everytime at heights of 2-5 feet onto concrete.
*the screen protector's primary role is protection from sand scratches and then marring protection when dropped. A tempered screen may seem strong but it can directly transfer the force of an impact to the display and break it.
Glass is a witchy substance that sometimes seems to defy the laws of physics. Ask any glazier.
Some of the laws of hydraulics apply to glass. Stress on one point may be transposed to another portion of the panel. If a spot is already under stress or has been stressed, it can fracture with only a small insult.

I found some decent ones on MediaDevil here in the UK much better than the standard one!

I usually wait a few hours if it's hot, no issues.
Simply reseating it if it breaks away works well as long as no dust reaches it first. A bit of the attachment solution can be also used.
This type of protectors last me 6+ months and remain almost clear even at 6 months.
The display must be completely lint/dust free though. Wet your clean fingers before touching protector during placement.
What you didn't see... you will see latter

The easiest way to avoid dust ("ivisible" one as well) on screen is to go to the bathrom and turn on warm water under the shower/in the bathtub and leave it for 15 min with closed door and window (if you have it). Then go to the bathroom with your phone and apply the screen protector. I can guarantee there will be no dust under.
Well if you need a clear screen protector then you can try gadgetshieldz screen protector. I'm using it on my Find X3 Pro for 3 months now and there are no bubble issues and this goes well with a curved screen.
