stock screen protector is good enough?

1st sorry for my english. i just wait for my blackstone. and now just want to know
Is stock screen protector that come in the box is good enough?
or we must buy 3rd party?
which brand do you prefer?

Hi iDaemon,
I have the stock screen protector on at the moment and while its ok I will be buying a 3rd party protector.
With the stock protector I get bubbles under it no matter what I do but its ok for the time being as their only on the edge of the screen.
I am waiting on either the invisable shield body protector or the Clear-Coat one.

thanks AFK_Matrix, so maybe high quality protector will good when apply on our device?

It is good enough for me. It works just fine.

Brando is the best.

I tried the stock one & found it too thick (although it was as soon as I got the phone, so maybe I wasn't pressing hard enough?) I've now got a Brando's from Inkino which they even fitted for me & I can't tell is there with regards to sensitivity.

I didn't get a screen protector in the box If it stratches i'll use orange care to get me another

The HD screen protector is just fine, and it doesn't always give bubbles. I got one tiny bubble above the vga camera because I slightly misplaced it, too near to the top, otherwise it's perfect.
Don't know about sensitivity, since I have not tested with another protector on the HD yet, but a screen protector would have to be really thick in order to impair sensitivity on a resistive screen, almost impossible for a thin plastic film.

On my Glofiish have been using this protector.
Now I´m waiting for HD protector.

i think the stock one is pretty good, i have some bubble around the vga camera & the earpiece... but thats because i misplaced it, the rest of screen is perfect.

I don't think you misplaced it. It just does not fit well. I have applied the stock one and a different one for like ten times and the stock one always gets bubbles near the earpiece and cam. not with the other one. However, the one I bought is horrible, it distorts image so I will not recommend that one either (so dont buy this one). I am getting a brando, lets see how that goes...

...good enough...whatever it means!

I have bubbles even I have placed the stock protector perfectly...
s***!!
I'm definitely going to get a 3rd party protector.

Through the years I bet I put 50 screen protectors on devices, including replacememts. Not to say I'm more than proficient, but the stock protector went on perfect for me.

You can adjust the sensitivity by recalibrating the screen after you've put the screen protector on.
These devices seem to use the pressure used during the screen calibration to set the sensitivity. If you use a very light tap with the stylus on each of the 5 points during the calibration, you should find the touch screen is more sensitive (and equally if you press very hard with the stylus, the screen will be less sensitive in future use).

From where can I found that protection? I cant find any shields for touch hd from zagg.com
EDIT: My mistake, miss the words "will use"

Should I use a the Edge without a screen protector?

I really have troubles finding a good screen protector for the device since Im not living in 1st world countries. Chinese ones have the curved parts peeled off after 1 or 2 days.
I'm ordering armorsuit films on Amazon and it takes a month to deliver, should I put away the device and wait for the protectors delivery before using it?

Yes imo use one keeps resell value high

No.
Drive it like you stole it.

I kind of gave up on searching for screen protectors too. I now use the phone without a screen protector, with just a back case (the official plastic one).

I go the spigen one too, and it doesn't stick to the edges at all. However I did get an email from them that they will be sending me another one as they are aware of the problem.

I had very bad experience with magnetic films (like Spigen one) on curved screens (s6 edge), the sides dont stick at all. The Armorsuit protectors work better since it is sillicon-like films (soft) with an abrasive layer to make sure it sticks, it has self healing to.

Awesome, I'll look into it.
How does the self healing mechanism work?

It heals minor scatches, go to their website for more info armorsuit.com

Not a fan of screen protectors on curved screens. Had a 920 back in the day (granted screen protector tech has come a long way) but i tried for a few weeks and then took it off.
Dont use them on any phone now, really all it does is stop scratches (which dont happen frequently with new gorilla glass).
If you want drop protection get a good case.

My s6 edge has some scratches after 3 days, though they're not deep but still leave minor distortions on screen which annoys me very much

I ordered the Ultimate shields and they work fine for me. Dificult to install tho

Been going case free since my Note 3 and protector free since my note 4. My Note 4 did get a scratch on the screen but I just couldn't stand the tempered glass protectors' terrible fit on the Note 4 and 5 and the soft protectors felt like crap when using the stylus... I'm not fond of the glare so I've got a Matte Skinomi screen protector on the way for the screen and one of their front and back film kits to just apply to the back side (it wasn't available in matte, hence the two orders)... We'll see. If I do end up getting a case it'll only be on the phone when I'm working in the garage or doing working on finishing my basement.

All these wet-apply protectors like Armorsuit are just awful; hideous orange-peel look, awful touch response, miserable experience...
in my opinion

I have been using gadgetshieldz protectors for a while now. Very good protection in my opinion. Protects the curved edges both on the front as well as back. Ordered one for my edge 7 and mine is on the way now. I have been using their textured skins too on my OP2 and they are fantastic. Exactly the same as the Dbrand ones.

Have a skinomi front and back protector with a symmetry case. Applied perfect but the case is now picking the corner up ruining the protector. I think I'm going to just rock it without a protector

Screen Protector options

I'm just jumping from the Moto x4 to S9 Plus
My protector option is one from the ************. I really love to have my S9Plus away from the scratches. As I'm having previous experience with the ************so I'm suggesting to get one from them.

They started shipping but I didn't got mine. Have you bought one from them and received it??

I bought the one from BigBen. Fit perfectly. No problem after 1 week. Just improve screen sensitivity.

I just installed the Whitestone Dome Glass on my S9+. Very easy to install and looks great so far. It doesn't seem to be compatible with the Spigen case I bought though, particularly the lower portion, I'm going to let the glue cure a bit longer and try it again.
UPDATE: I had the dome glass installed just a bit too low on the screen. I removed the glass and adhesive, then reinstalled and made sure the dome glass was correctly centered on the screen. Works great with the case now. Highly recommend this.

Bodyguardz is a more expensive option, but lifetime warrenty. I want to say it's about 10 bucks shipping for the warrenty replacements. I got mine at AT&T when I got my s9 plus yesterday. They installed it for me but it comes with a guide thingy like the Whitestone one.

It's a glass screen protector. Case friendly.

Tried the bodyguards pure arc. Complete garbage. Horrible sensitivity and it's a fingerprint magnet

I just received my spigen 360 thin fit today and this is a pretty good screen protector especially when paired with the case. The touch response is good and I don't feel the need tho enable the setting for screen protector under advanced options.

I bought one too, and concur. Fingerprint magnet, and ruins sensitivity. You have to turn on increase sensitivity in the advanced settings, and still it's a bit wonky.

Amazon.com link above. $9.00
Got this on Amazon.ca for under $15 CAD, it's curved, applied with zero bubbles and it works really good after raising the screen sensitivity.

Just installed the whitestone dome, I simply couldn't be more impressed. Make sure you watch the installation video a couple of times before applying… but it is hands down the only protector i will be buying from now on for all of my devices.

Otao case friendly
I got the Otao case friendly version for the S9 Plus from Amazon.com (ASIN: B07BSFLLKY). Rather than give a separate review here, this is what I have added as my review on Amazon. I hope this is allowed.
I had the Otao on my S8 and was very happy with it. On one occasion I dropped my phone. The screen protector cracked, which is what you would expect from a glass screen protector, but it saved the screen of my phone.
I was a bit wary when I read the first reviews of the S9 Plus version (which had a different ASIN number) but then I heard they were updating it. They reached out to me to offer me to try the new one (free of charge) which I just received. The main complaint about the previous version was not enough glue on the edges (it is edge only sticking) but the new version apparently has more glue and it certainly has stuck well on my S9 Plus. Obviously, the proof of the pudding will be it it still sticks well after it has been on a while and I will update my review if it develops a problem.
The installation tray makes it very easy to instal.
I am using it with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case and they fit together very well.
As I said, I did not have to pay for the protector but this review is my honest opinion and, if I did not like it, I would have said so.
Just to add - the packaging recommends turning on the touch sensitivity setting in Settings but so far I haven't found that necessary.

Does the glue cover entire surface of the screen or only the edges?

I’m looking for one that covers the entire screen most I’ve seen only covers partial off the top and bottom so it still looks like there’s a screen protector. I need fill coverage from top to bottom.

Another vote for the whitestone dome!
I've tried several tempered glass screen protectors since the S6+, and they all suck because the adhesive has trouble sticking to the edges so the sensitivity is terrible. The dome is the first I've used that I'm legitimately happy with.
The installation process is really intimidating at first because the process is different from your typical screen protector. But once you do it once and get the technique down, it's actually pretty fool-proof. The tray basically ensures that the alignment is perfect and adheres well. I happened to screw up the first time because my table wasn't fully level and the adhesive didn't disperse evenly and I got a tiny bubble...so don't take that little detail for granted. Luckily they give you two bottles of adhesive, and when I moved to a level counter and put it on a second time the adhesive spread perfectly on its own and it was really easy.

Note 10 Plus Screen Protectors

Received this clear protector from gadgetshieldz today. Here is a quick review about the product, the back protector and the camera protector fit precisely and gives this invisible look for a price of 11$. It will protect your device from minor scratches and fingerprint smudges.

If you are talking about the Whitestone Dome, then yes. It fits the phone perfectly and the fingerprint sensor also works perfectly. Follow the directions carefully and watch their youtube video before installing!

No there isn't a hole with the dome glass. I had the panzerglass as well with my S10+. The hole didn't bother me too much and was for me a nice guidance to the fp. But I can imagine that people dislike the hole.

The Whitestone is pretty good but messesul the fingerprints . Found it cracks easily too but worth it for the security

I have been using these for a couple weeks, VERY impressed. I dont like the dome glass, and most films dont feel smooth. These are film, but feel very slick.

I'm currently rocking the zagg glassfusion. Its actually a plastic screen protector that I can honestly say takes a impact and have had no issues with touch sensitivity nor the fingerprint scanner. My only complaint is that it's not a completely clear protector as it has a black rim that goes around it. And the front facing camera is not covered instead I now have a black ring around where the camera sits. Otherwise great protector. I'm a traveling service tech. And my clipboard sliding forward and landing on my note 8 was eventually the demise of it with a total of three impacts to screen.... so far this glassfusion has taken two hard impacts from said clipboard. Without even a scratch....love the protector they just need it to be completely clear.

Whitestone has been near prefect so far using Supcase Unicorn Beetle pro I had to slightly file down the top corners of the case to prevent glass pulling up

Been using mine for 5 months now without a screen protector and not a scratch on it.
I haven't dropped it much though

Screen protector

I'm looking for glass with quality similar to Whitestone Dome.
Anyone found any?

Hm... Have only experience with one glass protector so far and it's bad.
I've purchased this one and despite its perfect fit, no bubbles nor dust particles, the response to touch is dreadful.

I'm thinking if glass for OnePlus 10 Pro will fit X5 Pro.

Ok, so if no one knows I've checked.
Yes Whitestone Dome Glass for OnePlus 10 Pro is perfect for Oppo Find X5 Pro.

Does it affect touch sensitivity?
The 9H glass protector that I've applied doesn't adversely influence the 'slide'-actions response but it annihilates the capability to process 'tap'-actions.
I thought I'd just need to get used to harder pressing but even after a couple of weeks, it's just frustrating to constantly having to retry each tap over and over again.
So, now I'm wondering if this is just inherent to the product properties of (hardened) glass protectors out there and I'd better go for foil again.
Or give another brand glass protector a chance.

Having to press hard and multiple times in order to trigger a response was too frustrating so I removed the glass screen protector and replaced it with a TPU one from Crocfol.
What a relief! I just wish I'd make this choice sooner as it'd have save me the €'s spent on the useless glass thing.

Also looking for a screen protector since the Gorila Glass quality is really poor. Around 6 months of use and I'll already see lots of small scratches...
Anymore recommendations on the TPU ones?

I normally use Ibywind TPU screen protectors... I've got one for the 5X Pro, but haven't installed it yet (happy with factory). Never had any issues with Ibywind stuff on previous phones, and dead easy to fit well due to the charging adapter plug they supply to line it all up
