A little off topic on tempered glass screen protector, anyone tried using the phone as it is (without protection) for an extended duration of time?

If so, what are your takes and recommendations? Is it recommended to go without them? How does your phone hold up with everyday rigours?
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Has anyone found a home button sticker/protector that supports fingerprint? I was using one on my iPhone and it felt much more natural when paired with a TGSP. The home button is almost identical to that on the Galaxy S5.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
Matte full-screen (ORZLY-like) screen protectors are starting to pop up on Ali / Ebay. Example.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
Who was it who told me that the orzly didn't have cut outs?? They lied, it does.

I have my buttons blacked out as i switch back for recents, the orzly looks bad in the light, at night is ok but bad bloody advice.
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
My last phone had one on over 3 years, it's probably still on there today but sold the phone. Reason why I get glass it lasts
[HTC 10 Accessories] Gr8man001:
I never use any type of screen protectors. I have been using htc 10 for the last 5 months w/o any protection. So far no scratches or any issues. I tried both glass and plastic protectors each for 1/2 day but could not stand the feel of it. So I am staying commando. Only precaution I take is not to use the pocket that has loose change or too many keys.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ben_htc10:
Hmmm my experience has been pretty positive too. I do not think any form of screen protecter will help in the event the phone land smack on its screen.

Only thing to note is that in a dust rich environment, special care has to be taken to prevent wiping the screen, as dust can be quite abrasive, and it has caused scratches on my M7 before.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
I did for the first week, I'm extremely careful with any equipment, got some small scratches on the screen.. It'll happen to anyone, just a matter of time. The glass is tough but not scratch proof.. Regardless of what's said about it.
[HTC 10 Accessories] CharliesTheMan:
About a week after I posted that, the screen protector cracked on the edge. I'm about done with tempered glass, it's not for me. From now on I'll go naked or go back to my Zagg products just because of the customer service, I owe them one lol.
[HTC 10 Accessories] tunppi:
I have used htc10 naked since the day it was released, now got first minor scratch (that is noticeable). I tried one ****ty "wave" tempered class protector, but it covered like 80% of the screen area..

Are there any proper ones that cover it all and work nicely?
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
I like my YELUN 9H Hardness Tempered Glass, matched with Spigen neo hybrid Case. Been using it for months now, in and out of pockets have no lint on edges. No bubbles or lifting. The case prevents the edges getting pushed on, soft cases will have problems of it pushing the protector up due to it being actual edge to edge. Multiple colors are available, I have gold as seen in photo
[HTC 10 Accessories] Sashtheflash:
I got that one for my 10. Goes over The whole screen :

http://amzn.to/2ioaytW
[HTC 10 Accessories] :
I had this one too.

It looks terrible. The screen looks like a cheap, grey display.

I used it 1 month and removed it again. It destroys the beautiful front of the HTC 10.

And the dots on the screen are also really annoying.

The only positive thing was that it protects the whole screen.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
I'm actually interested in this, do the buttons have cut outs? Or any kind of mark to signify that one is back and one is recent? I only ask as I swap my recent and back keys and I've killed the lights, I have the orzly which is by far the best edge to edge protector there is on the htc up til now, tempered at least, and if it's put on correctly. But there are two shaded parts which show back and recent and they make my phone look at bit stupid.

Does the one which you have, have the same?? Or is it purely black??
[HTC 10 Accessories] Sashtheflash:
I think u had the same one. This has the cutouts, too.

I can live with it for the sake of all screen protection.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
Yep that's the one, all they had to do was avoid the cut outs and I'd be happy.

Cheers..

Funny thing is the image doesn't show these cut outs.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Sashtheflash:
cutout is the wrong word. but the glass isnt black where the buttons are sitting. so you can look through that little area where you can see your buttons.

I think that is what u meant.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
On mine there is a triangle and a square shape to allow light through. Cut out as in as a shape, not a physical alteration..

I have swapped my recent and back keys so back is on the right, makes no sense to be on the left. Having these shapes / cut outs / whatever you want to call them just looks stupid on my phone.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Sashtheflash:
So definately The exact same thing :) sry
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
No worries mate :)
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
What is the best full cover glass protector for Black HTC 10 ? I readed a lot of post and now im wondering between - Orzly and amFilm.What is the better choise ? Is it have better alternative ?

And i was wondering for what is the whole upwards from speaker ? Proximity sensor or something else ? I`ll post a picture.

[IMG="For what is this hole on screen protector"]https://dl.xda-developers.com/4/0/0/5/3/6/3/Capture.JPG?key=cdYRRm8vTD4m6d2AiuVi9Q&ts=1484573412[/IMG]
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
The cutout is for the light sensor that controls autobrightness, I haven't tried the amFilm but can vouch for the Orzly protector, it is by far the best protector I've tested. For reference, I purchased the glass protector straight from HTC and several from Aliexpress, all had bubbles along the sides and some didn't have proper cutouts for the sensors and notification LED. I also had the Spigen crystal films, and while they fit well, they weren't as slick as glass and picked up fingerprints too easily and I'm a physio so I clean my hands very regularly. The Orzly fits well, the cutouts are perfect and there is are no bubbles on the screen or along the sides. For my white faced HTC 10 it also reduces the halos around the capacitative buttons. The coating is also nice and smooth, it picks up smudges slightly easier than the stock glass but is much better than the Crystal protectors and the cheap Ali ones. My only gripe is the dot matrix, it can only be seen when viewed dead on under lighting but off angle it is pretty invisible and legibility outdoors remains similar to stock unless you have the screen at just the right angle where the dots start to appear (and even then, it's not too obtrusive). Also the button cutouts have no centers which may annoy some, see the picture below to see what I mean, you can see the fit is perfect and also the buttons and dot matrix, it's quite subtle.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
Thanks so much.I have the black faced Htc 10 and i dont have nothing visible where i see the hole on your phone.
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
I don't like those personally. I have a yelum brand I believe it is, I probably misspelled. It's on Amazon.

Reason I don't like orlzy is the stupid dot matrix and the cutouts are lazy and inaccurate, Like the hardware buttons and top sensor as on big cutout.

In the picture below is the gold version yelum glass protector as you can see by the top cutouts and hardware buttons it is way more precise. Also they don't have the ugly unneeded dot matrix. Fits edge to edge, no bubbles, rainbow, and perfect cutouts. All are glass coveted except for the fingerprint scanner and the very top sensor. Front camera and others are glass.

I'm sure they make black and white ones also.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
Now i no more want the orzly protector.I dont like the buttons how stupid are cuted.Stay very ugly on the black glass.In the beggining i didnt pay atention on it but now i dont want this protector anymore.Can take a look at yelum and amFilm.

Now i no more want the orzly protector.I dont like the buttons how stupid are cuted.Stay very ugly on the black glass.In the beggining i didnt pay atention on it but now i dont want this protector anymore.Can take a look at yelum and amFilm.

PS I dont see yelum glass for HTC 10.Please give me a link.

edit: Now i saw it.It says YELUN and i only founded white and transparent.They dont have black and have it only on america.Im from bulgaria and the dont deliver from usa to here.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Forgot to mention, but the bezels are slimmer on the Orzly protector than others, I personally prefer the matrix and cutouts to the thicker bezels on other protectors. Will have to try the yelum out some time though....
[HTC 10 Accessories] Meowdib:
Can someone link to this yelum brand?
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
I did misspell, above guy found correct name of yelun. They are on Amazon.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Meowdib:
anyone try this brand? This seems to be carried in major stores too.

https://www.amazon.com/22-cases-Gla...4677162&sr=1-2&keywords=htc+10+japanese+glass
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
This is the YeluN protector - https://www.amazon.com/Protector-YELUN-Tempered-Hardness-Scratch-Resistant/dp/B01ISU5TZ4?th=1

Today i bought one for my HTC from local store here in Bulgaria.Only place in BG that have Full cover glass for htc 10.The cutouts are perfect, but for me its too thick i wanted more thinner glass.Cutouts for buttons not viewed from all angles.When you are directly infront phone is visible but when it is from angle some parts hiding.

Posting photos.Sorry for bad quality
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
All of them I've tried seem thick. But you'll get use to it.

But glad you found one local, here where I live it would be impossible to find and I'm in the US. Everything is either for iPhone or Samsung.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
Here too.Only one place that have this.The glass is 1mm smaller on each side but this is perfect for me but i dont like the thickness.I thinked only this is like that and thinked to order one of Yelun or G-Color but they are same thick you say.Now im thinking about Skinomi.Looks very good but i dont know smoothness of the surface when it now glass.
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
Skinomi makes great film protectors, I had it for awhile. Best thing is they will send you replacements anytime you need one, no questions.

From what I hear though the glass ones are not good as they leave too much space on the edges
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
I thinking not for the glass.I want film because you say all glasses are thick right? G-color and Yelun too ? How is skinomi film for touching ? Smooth like glass ot less ? Thanks
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
skinomi was pretty slick but they can be soft and damage easy, but lifetime replacements, and yes those glass brands are the same thickness, all of them ive tried seemed about the same.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Maybe go for the Spigen crystal, it smudges easier than glass but is so thin it's almost invisible on the phone. Feels very slick for a plastic/you protector, covers the entire screen with a small gap on the bezels but it's so thin thay it never bothered me when I had one installed.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
Im very interested in these Spigen crystal films and the price is 10 euros for 3 pieces.Very good but i wawtched a review that the person is not satisfied of quallity.In fact really is almost invisible and i like that.This is the review i watched - HTC 10 Spigen Crystal film Review.

Im wondering what to choose between Skinomi and Spigen.I cant find review of skinomi film to see how it stays on phone.
[HTC 10 Accessories] wakkaday:
So spigen is best?
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
If you don't want a glass one then it's one of the best you can get. I had the Skinomi on my One X, it's not quite as smooth and has a very slight orange peel, the wet install is also a hassle, I installed a few and could never get a perfect install, it also dents quite easily, easier than the Spigen.
[HTC 10 Accessories] wakkaday:
What if I want a glass one
[HTC 10 Accessories] A.Shibli:
I got the orzly black glass screen protecter and its pretty good it covers 99% of the screen the only problem i noticed that it has a matrix dot but it is only visible when the screen is off and under light (atleast for me).

Im thinking to get the skinomi protecter full body (front + back) to protect the back of the device when using a bumper. Did anyone try it?
[HTC 10 Accessories] afuller42:
They are junk (Spigen)
[HTC 10 Accessories] RAM_1994:
I don't understand why there isn't any transparent full body tempered glass screen protector? Is there any particular reason for it? If they can make it black/silver/gold, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be transparent...
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
Then the adhesive would be visible through the protector. Since the edges of the screen are curved, some areas would adhere only partially, creating ugly halos.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Get the Orzly hands down. Also I have a DBrand Skin installed and the phone still fits comfortably within my Nillkin clear case, you can see the texture underneath and the case is easily removed when I want to enjoy the design of the phone.
[HTC 10 Accessories] vincy24:
+1 to the orzly.

Great fit. exact holes on the capacitive buttons and accurate touch response.

Has held on quite well since the last 2 months.
[HTC 10 Accessories] JassyNL:
Here +1 for the orzly too. Great fit, together with the orzly case you don't even see that you have this protector. Very very happy with it.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Meowdib:
There are 2 ozly, such one?
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
You want the full coverage one here:

https://www.amazon.com/Orzly-Pro-Fi...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BYN3MYT75KBA1HZG0Z30
[HTC 10 Accessories] A.Shibli:
after using the orzly black glass for some days dust started to gather under it..i dont know if it has to do with spigen case, i recently bought spigen rugged armor case and when i try to push the buttons a ticking sound comes up..maybe its not compatible with this case?

anyway i orderd new screen protector called "Tradelis" its also full cover and black.. will report back.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
im waiting for your opinion on this Tradelis glass.Today i received Spigen crystal clear film.Its almost invisible and very good looking i dont feel that i have protector when i touching fingerprint scaner for unlock, but i have small bubbles and feeling is not same as glass.The glass is best.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
Does this one have the silhouette cut outs for the capacitive buttons? Or is it just clear black?

The one I have which appears to be the same on the UK amazon website also doesn't show the cutouts but they are there on my phone.

I'd like to get edge to edge tempered like the orzly without them.
[HTC 10 Accessories] A.Shibli:
i got it today along with matte screen protector i ordered (not full cover) and i stayed on the matte because the black glass one didnt work well with the spigen rugged armor case ,,i guess this case cant be used with full cover glass screen protectors.

about the screen protector i found it just like the Orzly it covers the whole front and has sadly the matrix rainbow thing i thought it doesnt, but its not visible when using the phone so it should be ok.

if you dont use a case like the spigen rugged armor one its pretty good and not expensive, i got 2 for 10€ on ebay.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
I use chinese clear case nobranded.Only transparent and its not fat.I have no problems with full coverage glass of Mocolo but it have 1-2mm between glass and case.
[HTC 10 Accessories] kempshott:
I had a Nillkin 9H glass protector on my HTC m8 for several years and it's still as good as new.

However the Orzly on my 10 is only a couple of months old and there are loads of fine scratches on it already. Nothing has changed "pocketwise" that I'm aware of.
[HTC 10 Accessories] marto7:
The second Spigen Crystal clear that i put on my htc 10 is very good.The best protector for my phone.This time I succeeded to place it without any bubbles, and after 2 days of use the sense of touch is like a glass.So my final review is feeling:9/10 ; invisible 10/10 ; protection 5/10 - i think it protect only from scratches not from dropping.
[HTC 10 Accessories] rdmack:
Just applied the Orzly tempered glass to my phone.

Initial setup was a pain, making sure the phone lined up with the glass as perfectly as possible.

Once applied it looks great, no problems with the look or any artefacts.

Fingerprint button is more difficult to use, doesn't register fingerp as readily.

Quite looking forward to seeing how it progresses with time and use. I'll update or post a new comment after a couple of weeks.
[HTC 10 Accessories] c19932:
I recently got the orzly protector (2016) version but a stiction point always happens right in the middle of the screen. It's really annoying. I've tried reapplying it and same thing happens.
[HTC 10 Accessories] starbase64:
this is perfekt
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
So unfortunately, my Orlzy protector cracked (luckily without any damage to my phone!) and it would cost me about $40 to get one in Australia, so I ordered the Nillkin 9H+ Pro straight from Nillkin's official store on Aliexpress. Somehow people seem to be installing them without air gaps around the edges, I've seen videos on youtube and the pictures in the reviews on the sale page itself, did I get a dud? I wiped down the screen a few times with alcohol, waited for it to dry and used the anti-static adhesive strip but there's a an air gap around the whole display just like every other cheap glass protector I've tried...
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
You lucky Aussies can get the cool matte full coverage protectors on Ebay. Return the Nillkin.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
I had a look at that model, has anyone tried it before? It's actually matte glass?
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
Yes, it's actually matte.
[HTC 10 Accessories] rdmack:
So I've ran the protector for nearly 1 month now. It's holding up well, scratches etc remain at a minimum.

I have turned fingerprint unlock off because I struggled to reach a decent success rate with the protector on.

One of the cons to it is, dust has managed to enter underneath the protector and is now slightly obscuring the selfie-camera. Not a lot has entered and it's only very small particles, but they're there.

In direct sunshine (ie overhead or from behind) you can see the little dots on the screen and it looks washed out. Very rarely I get the rainbow bands in similar situations.

Otherwise I barely notice it's there.

The cutouts for the buttons align perfectly, same with the light and camera up top. Taking time to align before application is a must, use some tape to help get it in position.

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good protector.

This is a shortlink to the 2016 model which I'm using.

Previously I had the Spigen Crystal plastic protectors. They're good but this is better, in my opinion.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Awesome! Could you possibly PM me the images? I can't open the llnks on that forum.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
There you go.
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
That is fantastic, thanks so much!
[HTC 10 Accessories] itsdubai:
How is your touch sensitivity with the tempered glass on there boss?
[HTC 10 Accessories] itiskonrad:
Does it make the screen grainy/produce that rainbow effect when viewing really up close the way matte plastic screen protectors do?
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
Was that directed at me? No idea, those are not my photos, I have an Orzly. It should be good, because apparently those matte protectors (as well as gloss ones from the same seller) have glue on the entire surface, so there is no air gap between the protector and the screen.

Again, no idea, those are not my photos, I have an Orzly. I don't think that Ebay seller ships from Australia to the US.

Regarding the graininess / rainbow effect. The guys who use these matte protectors seem to be pretty happy with them, doubt there are major visibility issues.
[HTC 10 Accessories] b0gd4n:
I had the Orzly and, not sure about you guys, but I think it sucks.

It's NOT clear - you can clearly see there's some yellow-ish tint, as well as that ugly dot grid underneath the protector.

I installed the Nillkin glass protector (non full screen one) but (not sure if I got a bad sample) the edges simply do not stick.

Can someone please recommend a good non full screen protector?
[HTC 10 Accessories] ryanjsoo:
I have the Nillkin protector too and the edges won't stick either, not sure how people have gotten them to apply in the aliexpress reviews and such... There are no glass protectors that don't do this, maybe give the Spigen Crystal protectors a go, they're not glass, but they're as close as it gets.
[HTC 10 Accessories] pepo2181:
I bought a Zagg HDX screen protector last September in a mall booth and it has done the job. Is does not cover the full screen but it fits perfect with my covers: Ringke onyx , Spigen rugged armor, or Spigen Neo Hybrid. It has minimal to none halo effect (the edges not sticking completely), but is not glass. According to Zagg on-line store, the only screen protector they sell for the HTC 10 is the HD for the front and the back. In the booth where I bought mine they have a machine that cuts the material at the moment if the have the pattern in the database. I know Zagg is a bit pricey, but to me it seems to protect more in comparison to the spigen crystal.
[HTC 10 Accessories] rdmack:
Do you have pics of what it looks like?
[HTC 10 Accessories] pepo2181:
Here are two pictures. I had a new one installed yesterday. Some of the edge is have not stick completely, but with time, it tend to stick completely. At the moment I'm using the Ringke Onyx case.
[HTC 10 Accessories] a7811925:
Hello, I am from Taiwan, my English is very poor, so google translation

Would you like to ask where is your glass protective cover?

Amazon bought it?
[HTC 10 Accessories] Saf98:
What about the new versions? And are they the full faced.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Nof13:
I bought a Nillkin 9H+ screen protector (about 10 euro) for my HTC 10. Luckily, i haven't dropped my phone yet. I used the same tempered glass screen protector at my Nexus 6 and it survived many falls ( i don't use any case). One of the best screen protectors imo.

[HTC 10 Accessories] Badelhas:
Guys, I've bought a ebay one and there a couple of millimeters on each side that is not covered. Looks bad, in my humble opinion.

I am coming from the M8 that had a scree which is a perfect rectangle so this didn't happen.

Is it because the 10 has rounded edges or something? Is there a glass screen protector that covers and whole screen and dosent peel off?

Cheers
[HTC 10 Accessories] 3lMghraby:
are there a tempered glass that covers the 2.5D glass like the whole front and being transparent ?
[HTC 10 Accessories] Badelhas:
That's exactly what I was looking for. A full cover glass screen protector (the normal ones look terrible since they don't go till the edge) which dosent peel off easily (I won't be using a case) and which is available worldwide on ebay. Preferably one that's not very expensive.

Anyone cannot help us please?

Cheers
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
Do you mean a full cover protector without a black or white frame? Those don't exist because they would look terrible - the glue doesn't cover the entire protector, so the edge of the glue would look like a weird halo.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Badelhas:
No, I mean with the white frame
[HTC 10 Accessories] Kisakuku:
There's plenty of links to those in this thread. Quite a few on Amazon.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks. But there's lots more options there. Which one works best? Any sellers frome Hong Kong on eBay (they don't charge for shipping)?

Cheers
[HTC 10 Accessories] Badelhas:
