Hi, guys. I recently bought a Mi 8 Pro 8/128GB and I'm right now trying to find some nice cases and screen protectors, since I read here that some screen protectors may cause problems with the in-display fingerprint sensor.
I don't live in USA, so I'm asking you to show me some cases and screen protectors that I can use on this device, I'm just finding accessories for Mi 8.
Thank you so much!

Hello everyone. When I used a note 7 I was sick of spending money on a curved protector, so a dude I knew used a flat protector from another Samsung phone on it, the plus was that it was great, the only con was that the edges were left out, but since I never used the edge screen, I didn't bother.
Is that a possibility with the Note 8? Which phone's screen protector would fit, in a way the edges aren't covered, just a flat tempered glass
There is a forum section devoted to accesories, you might get some more help there, as there are already threads about screen protectors, luck
The Mi 8 Pro has the fingerprint scanner built in to the display. I heard that this will no longer work correctly after installing a screen protector.
Does anybody have any experience with using a screen protector on this phone, and does it signigicantly reduce the capability of the fingerprint scanner? And if your fingerprint still reads well, which protector did you buy?
Edited
Update: I bought these from Amazon (to fit the Mi 8) https://www.amazon.co.uk/iTieTie-Protector-Definition-Hardness-Compatible/dp/B07FC41DJM
It maybe has slightly reduced sensitivity with this screen protector. But it still works well enough for me!

This is true.
After I installed a screen protector
Fingerprint has stopped working
However, my friend has a screen protector cheap and it works great
(My screen protector I bought at $ 15)
I bought a screen protector from Aliexpress and the fingeprint works perfectly (cost me 8,74 €).

The fingerprint seems to still work after installing this screen protector, but maybe seems to have a slightly reduced sensitivity. Though it still works fine for me!

Hey, I'm thinking about buy a screen protector now and came to this topic. Got your link but there's too many options... Could you please tell me the product you bought?
Was it for xiaomi mi 8 explore? And what about the material? Amazing H 0.33mm or H Plus Pro 0.2mm?/

Hi!
I bought the screen protector for Mi 8 Explorer and the material Amazing H 0.33mm.
I though to buy the 0.2mm, but I think that is less strong than the other...
So I got a mi8 and a few weeks ago I noticed that under blacklight while the screen was off, the center of the screen didn't have the same shade as the rest, but only under blacklight. then I bought a new screen protector and now under certain lighting or when I tilt it I can see this(picture below). anybody has any idea what might be the problem?
I have too

Thanks. That was my first thought but I wanted to make sure before I take it out and buy a more expensive one
I'm pretty sure it is the protector. I had 2 or 3 like this on my mi6. for mi 8 I went for nillkin and no such prob. it is quite a pain to install and cracks easily as I read on the web. gl
"100% Original Spigen Xiaomi Mi 8 Screen Protector Glas.tR Slim Full Coverage Tempered Glass Black " similar price and style than the Nillkin but imho was easier to apply
Hi all,
The glass screen protector that is currently on my Mi9 stops the fingerprint sensor from working.
Does anyone know of a protector that doesn't have this problem?
Thanks
Wow really? I randomly bought few from different sellers and all work fine.

I use samsung m20 protector and its very fit an good
Delete all the previous fingerprints recorded before install the protector and save them now with the protection.
It should work.
I've tried three different protectors, tempered glass and plastic, with no problems.

Glass and plastic all ok
Hi guys. As the factory screen protector is garbage I am looking for options. Some I found on amazon.de, however it seems like they should be compatible with Mi10/Mi10 Pro and Mi10 Ultra, didn't know they all have the same screen dimensions and curvature. I would be keen to get a hydrogel type of coating, preferably for front and back, but I realize it may be challenging to find. I wil appreciate if somebody can recommend anything.
I asked liaow who don't stock them. Other Mi phones have the same screen dimensions though..
So I just bought the ones for the mi 10 / pro, they fit perfectly

Is it a glass one or flexible? I don't care for flexible screen protectors at all because they don't protect from screen shatters as much. And just because a flexible one fits doesn't mean a tempered glass one designed for a slightly different phone would.
Obviously you've not seen the other thread on this but I swapped mine for a hydrogel one a couple of weeks ago. Got mine from AliExpress for 10 ultra, fit superb and of course with hydrogel, you can remove and put back on, any bubbles go after a couple of days if you do get any when fitting and the best thing, they are really good at self healing. Took 10 days to arrive but well worth the wait.

Any link to the hydrogel?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/h5.aliexpress.com/item/4001359436459.html
But there loads out now on Wish or Ali. Should be at other vendors very soon as the grows in popularity. Obviously more on these sites due to its Chinese only release
I've ordered a screen protector from amazon UK.
It says it works on the Ultra, the Pro and the plain Mi 10
I'll report back if it works I think you can use any Mi 10 range protector. (for what it's worth gsmarena comparison backs this up)
Well it sucks. Did not reach all around the screen. It also didn't seem tall enough. Be wary of buying a Mi Pro protector

ah well, that sucks. I remember my Note 8 and 9 tempered glass protectors never worked with cases, so i went for the gel screen protectors which worked with any case.
after 6 months i went to tempered glass and bare back with a grippy sticker.
i think this phone might be the same, leaving the original protector on and using the 6 cases i have, then no case with tempered screen protector
you can buy uv screen protector on taobao.com or aliexpress.com
The original factory screen protector is indeed not the best. It's a dust magnet for some reason, and scratches easily. I took it off and replaced it with a tempered glass one made for the 10 pro. Fits like a glove.

K gonna try a 10 Pro glass protector. Not really out at all these days so no real need.
I bought two glass screen protectors from Aliexpress that you cure with the UV liquid/light. It's the perfect size and leaves very small gaps at the top and bottom of the display.

link, please?
I've ordered one of these from Amazon UK
Quite happy to use hydrogel, the only dislike on this one is the cut-out for camera... previous one for Find X2 Pro didn't have that which made for a cleaner finish.
Follow-up: Horrendous bit of kit, don't get this one! The USB plug moves around and the poles to line up the protector don't line up the punch hole correctly. All sorts of other problems, but those are the main two.
Where did u order it? Could u please leave a link?
Just got this IMAK hydrogel protection. Applied it a couple of hours ago. It has cutout for front camera. It is easy to align and apply, and fits very well to the edges of the screen. It covers curbed part of the screen as well. Just watching how quick remaining bubbles are going away. Amazing. I hope that the edges of case would not touch the edges of protection. Have to wait a little bit more in order to check this.
