Screen Protectors

What do you guys use / recommend for screen protectors and cleaners?

I use the protectors from ShieldZone. Nothing comes close.
I bought mine through a deal I found on Slickdeals (it's about to expire!)

i too would be interested in what you use, i.e. just the screen protector or the front and side protectors.
If you have used the front and side protectors could you describe what the coverage is like?
and i have heard that that brand makes it hard to use the stylis, have you had that experience as well?

hmm might have to post pictures of this one...
ordered today 2/2/08 with 50% off via slickdeals. I got them for my mogul and my Panasonic Toughbook cf-19. [bad ass they had one for it.] Cant wait to see if this product stands up to it's advertised quality.

Are those shield zone one's like clearview? are they hard to the touch like screen material itself? i dont like the ones that are soft and sort of compress when you hit with the stylus

so did you get just the screen protectors or the front and side covers as well? I would love to see close ups of the front and side protector. cant seem to find any info or pics of them anywhere.

i got just the screen protector... it is nice, but tricky to get on at first. i don't really notice it when using the stylus. in some light i see a orange peal like affect. since it took me about three tries to get it in position and all the air bubles out there it isn't perfectly clean on the unexposed side. but it works.

Just order it at brando. To my opinion the best there are. Ultra clear is the one I like the most.

Search for exim spuc or exim spoc on ebay. They're hard screen protectors that are residue free, and almost scratch-proof, stylus and pocket-wise thinking. (I don't think its as scratch proof as the invisible shield protectors, but isn't soft like a cushioning effect as with invisible shield) They also block out UV rays, making it easier on the eyes in direct sunlight. I've been using it ever since the first of my phone days (Sony Ericsson S700i, Nokia E60i, Nokia E61i, AT&T Tilt, HTC Tytn II, 2x Moguls)
One tip is to put it on in a dust free room...if dust gets on the application side of the protector, use some scotch tape to remove it. Works wonders.

How is the anti-glare in the sun? I am curious as I am looking for a new one.
Debating the clear vs anti-glare as I use my phone a good bit outside...
Any updates on any other screen protectors?

JavoScreen claims to be quite effective.
Here's a recent video shootout of leading screen protectors.
I don't recall which brand of antiglare screen I use; it was one of the most expensive ones, and comes with a camel's hair brush. In any event, it does the job EXCEPT in bright sunlight, when it's helpless. I'm thinking that a slip-on polarizer would be welcomed for bright sun.

best ive used
i think this is the same one i last bought, and its the best yet.

i have tried many, and this one is the best.
no bubbles, perfect fit, and dosnt screw up the screen when removed. i attached a scan of the packaging mine came in below

tought id chime in..
i have had the oem crappy flimsy one for a while now..
was going to buy 3 from ebay for $7 free shipping..
kept on forgetting to go and buy them.. so I walked into verizon... no sprint stores on my walk through philly.... and bought the blackberry universal kit... $10.66 with tax... tell you what.. they are nice and thick....
you can hold it at the corner and it will not bend!!!!
also has a grid for you to cut...
went on super easy.. 0 bubbles... none... and im loving it...

[Q] screen protector for lumia 930/icon

Has anyone used a tempered glass screen protector for this phone, I know it doesn't cover the whole screen, just wanted to know what people think about it. I've already ordered 3 pieces from different suppliers to see the differences, and whether it goes well on the phone.

I have a few coming in during the next few day, I will try them out and give you some feedback, it's hard to use PET after many years of using a glass protector, so I have to try it out.
do you still have the protector, can you post a photo of it.
thanks

thanks, a good idea will be to provide some info on were u got em and i will have a look into getting some different ones and trying them out. right now ive bought "3x Vikuiti™ MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Nokia Lumia 930" from "protectionfilms24" these work well enough but would love to have glass as ive got it on my other devices! thnx

I get them all from china, from some of the suppliers.
once i'll posted the results, and if it's positive, i'll see if I can ask the supplier or shop to put some online.

Update
Apprently I received the 3 glass protectors today, and i'm completely disappointed with them, it seems like glass protectors are out, i'm using my old pet A.R.M station one now which seems to fit the best so far, apart from the sides about 3 mm, the whole of the surface is covered, may be i'll try something like invisible shield next.
There isn't point in posting photo's, it's a waste of time.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the experience anyways.
I'd also say get one with wet apply, if you live in europe Invisishields are by far the best I think, at least in Germany others like Skinomis are really expensive to ship. I got myself an Invisishield, and it's really good so far. It covers up the whole area, except for an extremely tiny part which is good since it doesn't get loose on the edges. The only thing I don't really like about it is the feel, it's a bit rubbery, but I guess that's due to the type and in normal use it doesn't really bother me.

I've actually used invisibleshield before, the rubbery surface will wear out, and it will discolour overtime, but it's our only option for better protection.
Off topic Q: have you used the official flip case CP-637, i'm interested in the green one to compliment my green phone, but thinking the green will get very dirty quickly, so do you think the black is a better option.

checking out a few screen protectors from ebay
invisble phone guard
front and back and sides USD 19
extreme guard
front and back USD 10
screenknight
front and back USD 14.50
not available from invisible shield.
they are all very cheap, do you know if they are all the same.
update:
I got the xtreme guard from their site, it was more expensive at USD 10.99, then shipping on top which was about USD 6, from ebay it's USD 10 with shipping, but found on the internet a 85% off discount, so I purchased 2 sets which adds upto USD 9.17.
good saving

White ceramic unibody

I purchased a black Mix 2 on release and have been liking it so much since that I ordered the white ceramic version, mainly because I am a sucker for premium materials. Well today, it finally arrived!
Initial impressions are that the build is indeed quite special and the lack of seam between the back and the frame makes it so smooth. The finish has an almost translucent look to it. But boy, is it slippery! To put a case on it would be criminal so going to have to handle it carefully.
Have not used it much yet but the 8GB does feel even more zippy - maybe it's a bit imagined but it does seem to open and switch between apps faster.
For me, the size and weight of this phone is perfect.
My pics don't really do it justice!

Nice!!!!

I bet that one is really a ***** to find a case for since it's slightly different dimensions from the regular one.

Yeah good point - though it does come with a white case. Looks like it would get dirty pretty quickly however.
This one is going naked!

Looks amazing. I couldn't imagine how slippery that thing can be, but you're right, you can't put it in a case. Maybe go with a clear skin for added grip? Mobile Outfitters sells skins for the Mix 2. I know the dimensions aren't the same, but it still might work.
Sent from my Mi MIX 2 using Tapatalk

I had the first mix... and it was a nightmare to get a decent case for it. The Mix 2 is better...but not by a ton. I originally wanted to get the full ceramic version but I doubt there will be any aftermarket cases at all.. a niche within a niche.

Are y going to use some screen protector or protective film for the back?

No..it feels too nice. My black one is still pristine so I am confident in the quality of Xiaomi's ceramics.

And whats about screen?

I haven't used screen protectors on phones for a while now. I find the glass on recent phones just doesn't scratch anymore.

I am curious where one can buy this full ceramic version.

I wish... I don't remember the last phone screen I scratched and I never use screen protectors. Probably 20 phones a year I go through... I've had this mix 2 for less than a week and I already have some scratches just from it going in my pocket. Haven't dropped it or anything. They aren't super noticeable but annoying.

would you buy a p30 pro

Hi all,
as the title says would you buy a p30pro today?
i live in canada and im looking for a phone to replace my s10 (i hate it) mostly because of the curved display. i'm forever opening settings or other apps from touching the edges while putting it in my pocket or lifting it up. even useing edge software does not help as now some app/game options cant be used as the edges are not active.
anyways i'm more asking about the us band and do you feel huawei long term (or current) use will be affected?

I have the P30 and wanted to swap it for an S10
S9 had the same problem with the curved screen, just buy a case (Spigen rugged armour) is nice and thin and fixes that problem entirely

Tnx for the tip.
I don't use cases. Just a skin in the back, I don't like bulky things in my pocket.
Guess I'm just picky.
Do you mention you want to trade or you already traded?

I would trade face to face but not online and unfortunately I'm in the UK too
Been with Samsung since the S5 and really made a huge mistake switching to Huawei, should have gone for the S10
Those Spigen cases are more like rubber skins tbh, they only add a couple mm to the thickness and have a slightly raised lip around the edge of the screen to make it impossible for it to land on the screen itself

the p30pro has a curved screen just like the s10..
i bought mine after the *ban* however the p30 line is not affected by it, emui 10 is coming soon and all in all its a great phone...
my only complaint is with the inscreen fingerprint scanner which seems to almost never work for me ( i dont use screen protector)

I sold my S10 plus and bought the p30 pro. Well I'm very happy. Especially p30 pro camera was much better than the s10 plus when I saw it and took few pictures to compare them... Even my brother with note 9 is thinking selling his for the mate 30 pro.

Wow curved screen. That sucks.
Now I have no clue what phone to get.

Question Blue hue shift on screen

I got my phone yesterday and started noticing specially in white background a slight blue hue when tilting the phone or even by looking straight at it, I can see it at the top and bottom of the screen if looking straight.
My ocd is always kicking in and I can't unsee it.
I've tried different color modes but it's still there.
Am I the only one ? I searched a bit and it seems "normal" in amoled screens but how could it be normal, I've never had phones with amoled but always heard it's the superior screen but to me it's not looking good.
I'm happy with the phone as I couldn't stand anymore my old trusty honor 9 with it's old battery with 3h sot and frequently laggy and outdated software but I must say the honor 9 feels and looks premium where this feels meh. the plastic frame even has some very small dents from manufacturer.
The worst thing is I paid 340€ for the honor when it came out and this for 450€ should be equal or even better in everything.

Really ?
I was thinking of buying a glass protector for it but can't find any.
What I noticed is that the Neo 2 looks exactly the same as the GT 2, even the camera layout.
I'm tempted to buy the ibywind version, looks like the most complete with the frame aligment.

I've been looking on ebay and most listings for cases have Neo 2 / GT 2 in them. Screen size is the same and camera placement looks similiar. If it has GT 2 in the listing and doesn't fit then you should get a full refund at lesat as you can say item not as described

Do you have the same issue with the screen ?
I was going to buy the ibywind glass today as it looks it's the only one with the hole for the selfie cam so it should be the better one I guess. All the other chinese random name brands don't have it for some reason.
I also noticed some of them listing gt neo 2/gt 2 compatible.
But there's some people complaining about the fingerprint sensor not working properly after so I'm holding the buy for now. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks more products and reviews come out.
Looks like this GT series was a fail. Barely any videos, reviews, accessories. The lack of posts in this forum tells the same.
Realme should sell glass protection for their phones as they show a warning about using only approved realme screen protectors but where are they ?

I keep my phone on dark mode most of time and force dark mods where possible, I haven't noticed any issues but then I cannot see any issue with the pictures you posted either so maybe my eyesight is weaker.
I saw that but setting up fingerprint again after new protector should get rid of issues.
I myself am going to wait a little while and just use case + cover supplied until there is supplier based in my country so I don't have to import from china
