Creaking? Cheap Solution Here! - Eee Pad Transformer General

I bought an Acer A500, Moto Xoom, and Asus XFormer.
Returned them all.
The Asus kept calling to me and I decided to give it another go. Sadly I went through 5 of them.
Mostly due to excessive creaking or large debris under the glass.
I finally decided to live with the creaks because I could not justify spending more money for a tablet that was worse than the xformer.
Long story short...
Here is a super fast and cheap way to stop the creaks without spending a lot of money.
Gently pinch along the edge that creaks. Find the "worst" or "loudest spot".
Buy yourself the cheapest hard plastic screen protector you can find.
Cut a 1 inch long, 3/16 to 1/8 wide strip.
On the back of the unit, between the metal bezel and the plastic back is where we will insert a strip of plastic.
There are clips or something in some spots, so test the depth required. I cut a small strip used that as a depth gauge.
Most cheap screen protectors have 2 removable layers, leave them on, test depth and
tightness at the same time with test strip. If it is too tight, remove a layer and so on.
Pop it in and voila. No more creaking.
I made a slight angle cut in mine to allow easy removal.
Good luck!

Thank mate - Helpful post. Any chance of some pics? I am considering this solution.
I don't have "excessive" creaking but it still annoys me. mostly that I keep worrying that it's going to get worse.

i could post a pic, but you can barely tell it is in there.

Would you be willing to post a short demonstration video?

How would you do that? He's already fixed the creaking thing; do you want him to unfix the tf101 by removing the insert and redoing the fix?

Oh I get it now...sorry just re-read your post and thought about it more carefully. Yeah a pic is a waste of time.
What screen protector did you buy?

It was a crappy generic 4" screen protector from a mall kiosk that sells cheap cell phone stuff. Chinese made.

"Rigid" Screen Protectors?

Having recently bought my son a Nintendo DS, I noted that in the accessory pack I got with it, it came with 2 screen protectors that are semi-rigid. They're quite a bit thicker than one that shipped with my phone, and don't flex and bend like thin paper. They also don't seem to affect sensitivity of the touch screen in any way, as well as being perfectly sized to the screens and were invisible once fitted.
Are there similar protectors for the TyTn 2? I'd love such a protector as it'd be FAR easier to fit, and provide much better protection to the screen.
Rigid Screen Protectors
I have come across these. The ones I tried were made by "Martin Fields" product number MFOP-HTCTyTN-T
A right bloody bastard to fit as they are very slighty oversized. Perhaps this is done purposly so the protector fits into the gap around the edges of the screen?
Very clear and reasonably priced compared to the OEM product. They do work extremely well (once fitted).
Rgs,
J
Thanks. I'll check em out.
invisibleSHIELD.. That's all I have to say.
oH, view the demo also.. its well worth it.
I just checked my little brother's DS box, hoping to find the screen protector but nothing there but manuals =(
Any reference on how firm and rigid the MField or InvS are?
Well, from the video, the invisibleShield isn't the slightest bit rigid, though if it lives up to its claims, that wouldn't matter. I ordered a Martin Fields one earlier so I'll see how good that is.
It's not just the rigidity for protection though. A rigid protector will be a LOT easier to fit...
Beleave me, MF is rigid. And yes, it is easy to install but remember to clean the surface of the screen. This part is very important. If you do it right, it will install in less than 30 seconds and you will struggle to see the difference between no protector and MF.
Oh I know that. I'll be cleaning it very carefully and making sure there's no dust about when I fit it! Don't want dust under the thing!
Just wish it'd hurry up and arrive!
boxwave
The boxwave protectors are much thicker than average ones, are washable, and work great. They are about as thick as the psp protectors, e.g. more like a hard plastic sheet, I'm not sure what the ds ones are like.

FYI, a warning this could break your Tilt!!!!
This shield rocks. However it's a risk for the Tilt. You have to apply water to the back of the protector to get the bubbles out. I applied water, shook the excess water off before applying.... and stuck it on.
I used the included squeegee to get the excess water out of the shield along with the bubles. I wiped extra water away. Next day, my screen was dead (colors were washed out and glitches). Apparently during the squeegee process water slipped between the screen surface and the edge of the bezel around the screen, and in to the phone, and got under the LCD plastic into the LCD itself.
I do use this product on my $2700 SLR camera. There's no bezel on the LCD so the squeegee'd water comes right off, and won't get in the camera.
Beware. I had to get a new Tilt because of this, and it'll be a cold day in hell I use this product on any item with a bezel where water can seep in.
Semi- related: how are you guys cleaning your phone screens?
Oh, and +1 for Martin Fields.
My phone broke, but I had insurance on it (not from phone company but through homeowner's via a personal property rider), and mycellularrepair.com was able to replace the LCD for $200. Also, never buy that phone company insurance. Personal property rider is the way to go. It was just pennies a year for ~$500 of coverage for the phone. NO DEDUCTIBLE! So I paid nothing to have my phone fixed.

Interesting - Are you really that concerned about a product which is relatively cheap compared to the amount of time use you get out of it? Forget washing it off. Just put another one on - a CLEAN NEW one. If they last a long time (like in most cases a year or more), who cares that you have to spend around $20 to get a replacement. If they stopped making them altogether or they cost a ridiculous amount of money (for plastic, ridiculous. For peace of mind, priceless), then yeah, I would wash and rewash the screen to save money.
And the idea is NOT to squeegee the WATER bubbles out to the sides. They will evaporate on their own given some time. The idea IS to squeegee the AIR bubbles out to the sides and also to take extra great care when doing this procedure. You wash it off so that it restores some of the tackiness on the film. You can get most of the water off by blowing or using a can of compressed air, THEN put it on. You shouldn't have that much water under your film if you take care when doing it.
I am sorry about your tilt. That really sucks. If I were you, I would just put a BRAND NEW one on next time and forget about washing it off.

I need one of these too, recently the digitizer for the touch screen on my phone cracked. They are charging me 50$ for the screen and 40$ for labor. My question would be, would this rigid screen have prevented my digitizer from breaking? If it would then id buy it in a second.
I'm giving a +1 to the Martin Fields as well.
I just got a couple of them for my phone. They're definitely more rigid than some of the others, but I put it on a clean screen & can barely tell I have one on.
Stylus slides smoothly across it, no visible scratching at all (unlike the OEM one that marked easily), & it's also pretty smooth for finger usage too.
Had to wait a week for them to ship via expansys-usa, but worth the wait.

ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD + X10 + review

Hi!
I got my hands on ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD for X10, it's on the way thru delivery.
I saw their videos, and it's seem hype.
Anyone have personal experience with this product?
Also, right now, I have a rubber-not-so-tight-fit casing for the X10, but I want to get one that has tight-fit, real tight fit rubber casing to put on after the invisible shield? Recommendations?
Something in the lines that matches with iSkin, that the have for the "not so hype" iPhone...
If you go up a level to the Sony Xperia X10 menu page and have a look in the accessories subsection there is a lot of info on cases and screen protectors etc which might be helpful to you.
I bought Zagg's full body invisible shield before for my SE Satio. They were difficult to apply. Also, the screen responsivenss was better on the stock screen protector. You dont really need to replace it if yours came with one. The Zagg screen protector feels sticky to the touch. Not so good on a capacitive screen
Zagg's invisibleshield is horrible. My buddy got one for his x10, and I applied it. Every piece was not cut precise except the back cover. The front screen protector wasn't even cut straight. The left and right borders were tapered in the middle leaving about 2mm of space, on each side, between the border and the screen protector.
From my own experience with the product on my x1, the full body shield turns yellow and traps tons of dirt at the edges. It just looks cheap over time.
Backcover? People actually _like_ having slippery backs? Imo the stock coating is optimal since it's very grippable, it's rugged and it doesn't gather any fingerprints.

Well, I was just stating a fact that it does come with a back shield, and it's the best cut piece of the set. While I do like the bare back feel of the x10, the option is there for people to use it or not use it.
I got myself a Martin Fields screen protector. Applied it today. So far really loving it. Will review it soon.
InvisibleSHIELD is also supposed to be real good, but a pain to apply correctly.

I had the same experience with my Zagg sheild. Tappered sides and what not. Anyway I am not a fan. What I would like to know is if there is similiar screen shields to the ones for the iphone?? They have almost the texture of a sheet of paper, never streak and seem to provide excellent responsiveness. Im not sure of the different types of protectors but if someone knows of one like this let me know!
Also the Zagg shield on the back of the X10 is actually pretty sweet......its not slippery. In fact its the exact opposite. You can set the thing down on the dash of the car while charging and it will not slide around at all. But hey, if thats worth $20 then have at it.
Not bad...
I have the invisibleSHIELD for my X10 and it's not to shab... but not too good...
As with one of the posts above, the front screen protector was not cut to fit properly; there is a gap on my screen about 1/4" on the right side, however the left side is flush. I emailed Zagg about it and they have sent me a new one and apologized that the case was damaged during shipping (although it was very clearly NOT damaged during shipping, it was just cut that way).
The rest of the case fits snug, but it does get dirty/sticky on the edges. I will be getting another case to put over it; likely the FlexiShield.
I personally like the feel of the screen protector more than the stock protector. I have both of them on right now and have no issues with the touchscreen whatsoever. The Zagg shield never fingerprints, but it would with the stock protector.
Overall, I would give the invisibleSHIELD a 7 out of 10. If I was rating the screen protector alone I would give it 8 out of 10 (points dinged for the improper fit, hopefully the replacement sits flush).
If you are like me and want a mint looking phone you might get a little frustrated by the scummy edges, however the material is strong and you will definitely not scratch anything. I recommend doing away with the full body case and just getting the screen cover in combination with another case!
Cheers!
Update: Received the replacement but the screen protector is even more tapered on the edges than my original. I've scrapped the shield and went with a plastic fitted case. Too bad, I really like the quality of the material. I'm going to try and get a refund.
Wow! Judging by the reviews, I am not glad that I went for MF instead of ZAGG.
I got protech which is essentially the same thing and I have to say its pretty good. I've used invisible sheiks in the past on a g1 and found it was easier to apply to the x10. You have to be really patient though if you leave the smallest air bubble on the edge as previously mentioned dirt and dust gets trapped underneath and starts to peel.

I have full body Zagg ... it sux.
The size of the front part is not right so i have about 2mm on edges which are not covered.
The top, bottom and side parts are already gone.
The back part is still there ... for now.
I have a gadget shieldz full body.
I'll try it in about 2 weeks when the zagg will be gone.
Zagg lasted about 3 months.
I have the Martin Fields one bought from Mobile Fun. It is the biggest fingerprint magnet in the history of phones. I bought the double pack thinking I'd have a spare as back up. The actual screen applies beautifully but it has lifted in the top right hand corner near the proximity sensor. I managed to reapply it without taking it off totally but its still not perfect.
I want the same shield we bought for hubby's Iphone. Its a matt anti reflective one and shows no finger marks. I spend my life cleaning smudgy prints off mine.
To clear out what others said and my experience with zagg shield,
It all comes to how accurate are you when attaching it.
But if you want some advice, just put the back part only. The stock screen protector is much better, the side parts are too hard to put on.
and take care They are very stretchable. ..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I agree, the Zagg screen protector makes the screen slightly sticky or something. Makes it hard to drag things across the screen like when moving cards in Solitaire etc. I'm on the lookout for a good screen protector now, wish i never removed the stock one!
I actually like the feel and look of the back protector and yes, the side and bottom protectors are a bit too finicky and strechy for clumsy people like me to put on properly!
Painfull Installation - Happy Though!
Hey!
So, I finally had time over the weekend to apply the invisibleShield to my X10, the full-body, "maximum protection" version.
Just let me tell you:
(1) Painfull process - took nearly 2 hours from start to finish, minus break / re-doing time because i wasn't completely satisfied.
(2) Not enough solution - the spray bottle they gave is enough for 1 time installation only! No room for mistakes. Found out the solution was Johnson's brand baby shampoo & distilled water (I didn't have any distilled water, instead, used a new bottle water from Nestle brand) ... worked like a charm
(3) sizing - oh man! the sizing of the invisible shield is not perfect, except for the back piece ... front has gaps, 1/2mm or less on either side.
(4) Applying ... it took me about 3 times to get it right, fitted accordingly. That's how I ran out of the solutions.
(5) Squeeze is not good on small pieces, better to use a q-tip to slide thru the solutions off.
Overrall, it's a different feeling. Getting used to it.
Only thing I would ask ZAGG to do is: PROVIDE A BOTTLE WATER size of solution!!!! & correct sizing of the pieces.
- Just 1 or 2 mini bubbles seen just by me, otherwise, it's a charm!
Still, I got my hands on a iPhone 4 32GB as well, kit for that is coming soon. Should be easier ...
I wish they had Otter Box style casing for X10.
tell us about fingerprint and screen clarity ...

Clarity is ok.
Fingerprints ... way better than the original but still not good enough ...
Just don't drop sun protection lotion on your phone
You will need another invisible shield ...
Fingerprint is not there, or atleast, very much of it is reduced. I am a clean freak, so, I clean it everyday before putting it to charge for the night.
Senstivity was something to get used to, little bit off in the beginning, but after the curing process of the invisibleshield, it works like a charm.
Anyways, I contacted ZAGG, they are sending me another full kit for the X10, since I complained about the sizing & not enough solutions ...
I have to wait for approx 1.5 weeks to receive, remove the old/existing one, and do it correct the 2nd time around.
Of course, i need to send back the one I have right now when I receive the other one...
I'll post a message on how my 2nd attempt went, (with extra bottle of solution, yeah! that's right! I demanded to the agent on the email for 2nd bottle of solution)...either way, baby shampoo & distilled water is good enough too.
Screen Clarity - 100% or 99.99% , unless you angle the phone differently in the light or reflection , you dont see it.
I had the full body but took it off.
I bought the white X10 in dubai, like everyone else said fitted poorly and bleeds the colours from your case, I had to take it off as everyone was saying how battered the phone looked after a month.
It is pretty bullet-proof though, sure it must look better on the black phone!

xoskins and xtreme guard screen protectors

Hiya guys,
I was just wondering if anyone else has either used xoskins or xtreme guard protectors and been left feeling disappointed? I originally had an SGP ultra on my nexus 4 but I was feeling a little annoyed that it didn't cover the full screen. Other than that they're perfect, nice screen hardness difficult to scratch and leave the screen looking amazing. I really thought the xoskins one would be perfect so I paid the price and ordered (shipped from US to UK).
Finally arrived, installed straight away. Let me just say I've fitted lots of screen protectors before to various phones and I'm pretty good at it. So much so friends and family ask me to do theirs for them. Still, the xoskins one felt a little fiddly. The solution they provide makes it very slippy, so using the squigy afterwards made it squirm around which was annoying. Also, even though both sides were wet the squigy still left slight burns after only 3-4 swipes. It took a full 48 hours for it to dry.
The cut on the protector was good, and it was nice and clear. It seemed to leave a slight orange peel effect across the screen though, and I had 4-5 thin rainbow type lines/scratches about 1cm long on the one side which were clearly on the underside of the protector (all perfectly straight and all facing down perfectly so I'm thinking manufacturing fault?). The feel of the protector was frankly awful. It flexes under finger and restricted swiping somewhat. Worst of all, any slight knock leaves imprints. I tested it by lightly rubbing my nail across it, it left a clear mark that was there for 2-3 days! It flexes way more than I'd like, I can't see it providing much protection from knocks tbh. Granted I wouldn't do this in normal usage but any other knocks left imprints too.
So I removed it, and thought I'd try the xtreme guard. My god, I've never used such a rubbish protector. The cut is dubious at best, the screen clearly looks worse when its on and it suffers from the same indentations and flexing as the xoskins ones.
Maybe I've been spoilt by the SGP ones (I still have the back protector SGP skin on there as its a perfect fit as its flat) or maybe all wet application protectors are like this to be more flexible for the curved glass?
Either way I've ordered another set of SGP protectors and I'll put up with the exposed edges. I'm sure there's people out there that are happy with their protectors, but I just wanted to share my experiences.
Wet applied screen protector can never compete with the dry one..even the $1 junk one.
I took off my Xtremeguard and using the junk that came with my nillkin case..which is still much clearer than the xtremeguard.
But I keep the back of xtreme since it make it less slippery.
Glad its not just me who found this then I can see how having a *stickier* back protector could be beneficial. The SGP one I have is still rather slippy. Hoping it will help strengthen the back though in case it has any accidents The SGP ones saved my iPhone 4 before. One was a drop from my ear onto a wooden floor!
It's nice to read that I am not the only one who dislike the Xtreme guard screen protectors.
I just cant believe how sticky it feels and how much it gets scratches and dents.
I've got a fillkin flip case comming my way as well so I think I'm also going to replace the front xtreme guard screen protecotr with the nillkin one.
One thing to keep in mind for all wet protectors is that when you need to push out the bubbles, never used a squeegee. It is very difficult to avoid burns on the surface with a squeegee. Instead wet your finger tips and push the bubbles out with your finger. Much easier and doesn't leave burn marks.
If you absolutely need to use a squeegee, the paper one provided by SGP (ironically) is pretty good for wet protectors. Use the corner as much as possible and don't push too hard.
I myself prefer dry protectors as well but there are indeed some good things about wet ones. They are very scratch resistant, provide more grip, and doesn't show finger prints as much.
The xo skin i have is trash the front has so many random Knicks and bubbles and stuff the back does too but I'm going to leave that on and just use these 3 for $5 screen protectors from amazon until the glass protector comes out with reviews

I am using the XG and granted it has it's orange peel look to it, but I don't mind it. The look reminds me that I have a sp on and I can safely put the phone in my Seidio holster without looking. LOL.
Yes, the screen looks way better with a dry sp on, but I am happy with the cutouts and fitment. And plus doesn't affect the Diztronic Ultra hard case at all when taking off or putting on. Which is good IMO.
Am I 100% happy? No, I say maybe 96%. But for the price of 3 front and backs for 6 bux. I can't really complain too much.
Xtreme Guard are excellent. You just need to take your time applying it and pushing out the bubbles. Minimal orange peel and the protection is perfect around the curved edges.
After having mine on for nearly a week i'd still disagree. I have no bubbles or marks on the xg but it does have the black spots issue I've read about which suck! The cuts off on mine everything is aligned perfectly with screen edges but 1/4 of the camera lens is covered. Honestly its not how I fitted it. The feel is also pretty bad. I genuinely cannot wait until I get my new SGP ones.
Xoskins replied to my email about 4-5 days after I showed photos of the defects. They are sending me out a new protector at least. Will probably sell it on eBay to claw back some cash.
I'm not going to bother emailing xg as they're cheap and tbh I won't be going near their protectors again!

The problem I had with XO Skins was that the protector for the back of my n4 had a little pin hole in it! Luckily they are replacing it free of charge, including shipping! Which is good cause I'm in the UK and did not want to pay to send it back to the US.
The protector for the screen however has been brilliant, I've had it for about two weeks on there and the sort of rubbery feeling goes away and it feels very similar to the glass on touch. If a little more squishy. It does not drag against my finger anymore.
As for bumps leaving marks, I've noticed that, but they always go away within about thirty seconds.
All the bubbles have disappeared on my screen and its very clear.
I definitely agree with the OP about the application process though, the solution makes it very slippery, which is good when trying to position the skin. But when using the squeegee to push out the air bubbles and liquid the skin moved everywhere. After that though, it dried family quickly, did leave it overnight anyway.
I'd say I'm pretty pleased with my XO Skins purchase.

Why not? I'm talking about the front facing camera not on the rear. My SGP ones arrived this morning so the xg one was ripped off almost straight away so unfortunately I can't take you a photo to show you.
The cut was definitely off, there was some extra material right in the dip of the cut out that goes around the lens as if it hadn't been cut cleanly. The dip wasn't rounded like it should of been. Maybe I just got a bad one in this respect, but it shows there is very little quality control. Especially as mine also suffered from the same black spots I've seen elsewhere.
The bottom of the protector was literally up against the chrome rim, I couldn't of positioned it any lower so it wasn't due to bad positioning. It was just poorly made.
I've just ordered a Nillkin case which will hopefully help protect the bits of glass the SGP ones miss. The feel and screen clarity is so much nicer!
Well, xoskins replacement arrived today. It had been put into an envelope that has a bright blue lining and the edges of the protector now have a lovely blue haze. Great! It didn't even have a piece of card in to stop bending etc. so lucky it survived at all.
Not even worth trying to sell it, If I purchased one off ebay myself and it had this haze I'd be gutted. Really disappointed with them.
I did notice they seem to of changed the design too. My previous xoskins one had a U shaped cut out for both the front camera and the proximity sensor. This new replacement has O shaped holes for both so that there is something actually protecting the top edge all the way along.
That sounds like your first one was a case fit and your new one is a full skin. When I got a replacement it came sealed in a baggy, crazy. I would hit them up again.

The first one I had definitely went right up to the chrome edges on every part other than the top by the proximity sensor and camera where there was a U shape.
I'll drop them another email and see what happens. They can only say no.
Well, what can I say? I'm using the xg for the front and for the back of my nexus 4 and I'm very pleased with it. I have them on for about 2 weeks now and everything is well..
The cut of the xg protector is one of the best out there. In my past galaxy nexus I used a clear screen protector and every 2 months I had to change it with a new one because of the dust that got under it... Causing to many bubbles.
That's not the case with the xg protector. This thing is not going anywhere.. And I also use it with the official LG bumper case with no problems..
I'll try to upload some pictures for you to see.. The only disadvantage is that the feel of the xg protector is worst from other clear screen protectors, using the dry install method.

Recommend a good screen protector film/glass

Hi,
As you probably know already, Aquos Crystal has Acrylic screen that can scratch easily.
I have tested myself Savvies SU75, They look good, scratch quite easily, so you have to change them often. The main problem with those films are that they do not fit the screen. Also the camera and sensor holes are a bit off. They are longer on the sides so the film sticks out. When I pocketed the phone, the film actually rolled up from the screen. So would NOT recommend any of this sellers films:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6x-Savvie...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item2c945df4e8
What films or glass do you use and recommend?
Also, do they fit perfectly on the edges and camera hole is in right place?
Is there a need for the camera hole really?
PS. Don't reply if you are not using any screen protection. We are not interested in hearing that

Hi,
As you probably know already, Aquos Crystal has Acrylic screen that can scratch easily.
I have tested myself Savvies SU75, They look good, scratch quite easily, so you have to change them often. The main problem with those films are that they do not fit the screen. Also the camera and sensor holes are a bit off. They are longer on the sides so the film sticks out. When I pocketed the phone, the film actually rolled up from the screen. So would NOT recommend any of this sellers films:

What films or glass do you use and recommend?

Looks promising. Price is also high
mybat case or screen protector
Go to amazon and pick up a mybat tempered glass screen protector just be sure to put it on right, once it sticks its a mother to get off, I'm stuck staring down a random hair every time my screen flicks off.. Runs for $10 after shipping through 3rd party amazon vendors most of which are in california (be sure to check where the vendors located don't want it taking a month to come from China. Also the mybat hybrid case world's great. It holds onto the phone by the slanted edges at the side of the screen, so you don't lose screen space. Runs 6-10 bucks in variety of colors (mines green and blue seahawks baby!).

Aliexpress Liquid Dispertion Tech Screen Protector

Hello,
Has anyone tried the Liquid Dispertion Tech Screen Protectors from Aliexpress?
I am wondering if they are worth it.

If you got the S7 Edge then this seller on ALi has the proper glass for your phone as well. In any case I have seen enough videos of how to apply this protector that I am now persuaded that this is indeed the ultimate screen protector for edge phones, the only thing that is to be found out, would be the quality of the glass it self.. AKA, oleopathic coating, strength and etc. These things are important as these days 90% of Chinese tempered glass has no oleopathic coating and is not even real tempered glass, it is just a cheap gimmic that breaks easy as F***. So hopefully since this whole UV glue is a next level kinda thing, the quality might still be on the high.
When mine arrives I will make a video of the installation and post it here for you guys with my comments.
i have S9 and S7.
ok, i will wait for it, thank you Mate!

So the glass i ordered arrived yesterday. Photos below. On the 1st glance, the glass appears to be of rather good quality and it seems to have a real oleopathic coating against fingerprints, which is quite rare these days with Chinese tempered glass.
As promissed i will make a video of how i apply it and post it here.

Very Nice! Thank you for the info.

I ordered this for my S9 plus. It worked very well. It doesn't come with an install kit to balance the dispersement of the liquid, so when I installed it I missed a small edge and I installed it a little to low on the phone so my case would move it. So I removed it.
However I would recommend this product as a good alternative to the more expensive model.
Ok so LONG post, but absolutely necessary to read if you consider using this type of screen protection. My glass arrived 2 days ago and I applied it today. It is crystal clear and the visibility is at its best, touch sensitivity has not been affected at all. It is pleasant to the touch and does not feel like crappy tempered glass. (pics attached)
I had promised that I will upload a video but I did not think it trough and on the 8th minute the memory on my backup camera finished, so without my realization it turned off.
Below however are a few notes that are important and I realized it while shaking above the phone and overcoming them
1. Make sure to put a dust sticker on the TOP speaker in case some glue decides to enter there..
2. Put dust stickers above the buttons, all of them, so in case some glue leaks out it will not go inside the buttons.
3. From the place i ordered on Aliexpress, the glue that arrived may have been about 10%- 15% more than necessary in the tube, so i got leaks on the sides of the phone once the glue spread all over, I cleaned it with a napkin, it is possible that it leaked as I may have mistakenly applied a slight pressure on the glass while I placed it. I recommend that once you release all the glue from the black non-transparent bottle, you can squeeze it and then suck up about 10 15% of the glue that is on top of your screen.
4. Make sure before you start the whole procedure, to turn your phone off.
5. Do it on a FLAT surface because the glue may start moving from the middle of the phone towards the sides.
6. If you order from the same seller I did, your lamp would likely have a pre-set timer, as mine apparently does. In this case, the lamp will turn off every 45 seconds approx, that signals that you should move it on the next area (Bottom, middle, top) of the screen.
7. I would recommend that once you place the glass on top of the glue and let it spread, DO NOT freak out if it leaks. Turn on the lamp, and move it on top of the screen from top to bottom for about 40 seconds so the glue hardens just a little. Then with a napkin gently absorb the leaked glue.
8. Make sure you see at least 5-6 videos of other guys doing it so you can be best prepared.
Overall, I think it is a good option for screen protection, much better than all the NON-FULL GLUE alternatives. Aka, protectors with glue only on the sides of the glass only and not in the middle. It is tricky to apply but once you are done you will be glad you went for it. I am not sure if it is any different than the more expensive versions others people are talking about, I suspect that it is plain re-branding. The more expensive ones just come with a different brand logo, better advertisement and more promises. But, same thing in reality. At least in my case, I paid about 15$ and got 2 glasses, 2 glues, and a good UV lamp.
Quick summary: Find a dust-free flat surface with good light, clean screen, apply stickers to speaker, and all holes and buttons, gently remove any additional dust particles from screen,apply glue to middle of screen, gently place glass on top and DO NOT apply pressure, if it is not too straight you can move it a bit, If any leaks, apply UV light for about 40 seconds up and down, gently clean leaks, apply UV light for 45 seconds for 3 more rounds. At the end you may even do one more 45 second round top to bottom as I did.
Enjoy.
EDIT: After applying it the whole thing, the glue may still remain slightly sticky on the corners, so that may allow extra dust to stick on it. However, If you can, leave the phone under the sun for 10 minutes, and the glue will dry to the full, then it would be easy do fully clean the corners with your nail or some non dusty cloth. Just do not put too much pressure with your nail as you may raise the glass and allow a bubble to form.
I have ordered the same today. lets see when I receive it.
@BABYBOY 3265
Is that compatible with mofi cases? I wanted to order it with one of their fabric type case.

It should be... I don't see why not. The one i ordered covers most of the screen but leaves quite a bit out as you can see in the pics i posted... and that is considered not too case friendly. However to me it seems pretty compatible with all cases.
But, to be safe you can order the alternative case friendly version of the glass from the same seller. It is smaller and covers even less of the screen. I don't see the harm in getting one and trying it
Received mine today. Took 12 days to reach India. The screen guard is really good,fits perfectly. the glue is little excess so had to clean up a lot. note for next time. However I fixed the glass a little to the lower side so bundled case is almost touching the glass. Don't know in future if it will lift because of that. Overall a fantastic deal.
Hello
I received mine yesterday it took about 13 days to get to the EU, and applied it today.
The application when well on the first try,i did watch quite a few tutorials beforehand and that helped alot.
The screen protector is very clear , and you do not notice it at all, it also seems to have some real oleophobic coating.
Tactile responsiveness is on par with what you would get without a screen protector.
All in all a very good alternative to the more expensive competitor you also get two screen protectors and two tubes of glue for the same price.
If you are in the market for a screen protector dont hesitate.
Jay
Just ordered, thanks for the review & tips..
Another positive report here, although I wish I'd been a bit more careful as I have a couple of tiny bubbles near the edge. They only show up on a bright white screen so I may live with them rather than try again with the spare glass & glue.

Thank you very much!!!
I have the whitestone and love it. Was wanting something for a backup though. Last time I waited a week to get my warrenty replacement.
Does the AliExpress come with a tray to line up the glass? Or does the glass work with the Whitestone tray? If not, how do you get your glass lined up?

The tray you are talking about probably will work. However the standard way to align the glass is by your finger and vision. Just make sure that if you do so, do not press downwards while you are moving and aligning the glass. If you press down, it will push some of the glue out...
