I vouch for the Omoton glass protectors from Amazon. It took me two tries and some firm pressing, but I got it on perfectly, no bubbles or halos of any kind. It's been on for a week, and still no signs of lifting. It's not easy to put on, though. Half a millimeter too high or low, and it'll halo around the speaker or fingerprint scanner, respectively. Overall, I'm very happy.
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
still shopping for a better screen protector,

I installed this one yesterday,

https://www.amazon.ca/Screen-Protec...332&sr=1-34&keywords=htc+u11+screen+protector

and it fits horrible, sticks out a little from the top and a little from the bottom, which leaves an annoying "air bubble" because the screen kind of curves towards the top/bottom.

I ordered a new set from another vendor and not Tempered Glass 9H type, hoping the good old regular TPU will do a better job, since those are more flexible.
[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
These fit but that particular one makes the screen pretty dull, and the cut outs leave no room for error or else you cover the ear piece or the home button.

The search continues....

Just bought the Omoton one's on Amazon. I need glass on this thing....
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
yup, i got exactly the same problem.

ordered that one by "mistake" :p ... bad choice... bad choice...
[HTC U11  Accessories] aknotts415:
Try the Mr shields one with black borders. That's what I ordered. I saw someone In a u11 video had a black border one and it looked fantastic.
[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
I had the black border one with a LG G5. They collect dust at the edges and fail over time.

Hope it works for you though.
[HTC U11  Accessories] aknotts415:
Oh really? darnit lol hope it doesnt do that. :silly:
[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
The issue I had was it was raised ever so slightly and dust just collected there. Because its black border on the black curve of the glass, it stood out and looked bad after a while.

Hope it doesn't do that for you :D
[HTC U11  Accessories] aviatordoc:
Guys I ordered the Smiling one, the link I had posted earlier.

Love it so far.

Yes, its shorter on all four sides, but aligns up perfectly and no issues.

I need protection for the center of the screen from anything else in my pocket than the sides.

[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
Same here I had that dark border one on my S7 and it would not properly wrap the screens, it leaves a very nasty big opening.

it looks good, but the phone feels weird when you grab it.

I returned it via Amazon.

That's the nice thing of buying stuff from Amazon, returns are so simple unlike other places.
[HTC U11  Accessories] regalpimpin:
My omoton and smiling ones had halo all around them. Using the Lamshaw full coverage now. Cutouts are perfect.. The screen has adhesive behind it. Can't really find anything to complain about. It is not compatible with the spigen cases, but its fine with the other tpu cases I've tried.

[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
Put on Omoton and it's perfect. I was really careful about lining it up really well. There are 2 small bubbles from small pieces of dust.

It had a few more bubbles but they all worked out within 2 hours.

Oh it isn't a rounded edge. That's kind of disappointing. Wish it was rounded.
[HTC U11  Accessories] JEANRIVERA:
Could you post some pictures?
[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
Man that was annoying to take. Lol
[HTC U11  Accessories] JonesWTF:
Has anyone encountered any liquid applied screen protectors? After getting one by for my girlfriend's S7, I feel like this would be the way forward with the curved edges. It has a nice feel to it and gets full coverage.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Kisakuku:
Just keep in mind it offers no drop protection.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
Any chance you can take a picture of your U11 with that screen protector applied on it? Curious to see, because the picture on the box you received looks different than that on the ebay link.
[HTC U11  Accessories] harryw66:
Spoke too soon - a few days after this post, the top left corner lifted off by several cms.

Now trying Disagu Golebo Clear screen protectors - which I fitted to a family members phone several months ago and seems to be doing ok.

These do not cover the whole of the screen and leave 2-3mm gap around the edges...
[HTC U11  Accessories] ffforce:
I just replaced my brotect with another brotect. The newer one is definitely smaller. I used to have a 0.5mm gap on each side from the screen, but now it is like 2mm on each side.
[HTC U11  Accessories] harryw66:
Update: The Golebo ones also were pretty much a waste of time. The cutout around the fingerprint reader terminates with sharp points - and within 24-48hrs these start catching your clothing when you take the phone out of your pocket and as a result start lifting up around the fingerprint area. I wasted four of them over a 7-10 day period before contacting the seller who refunded me. Whilst looking for an alternative, I decided to try and trim the sharp point of the remaining ones I had - into a right angled curve, before fitting. So far it has been 5 days and the SP has remained stuck down....
[HTC U11  Accessories] stumpy352:
I have just fitted the perfect protector to my wife's u11. I bought this protector

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2X-3D-Cu...ss-Screen-Protector-For-HTC-U11-/292233855394

a while ago, but it's junk on it's own. I got the clear one, which is different to the bordered one on that page. It's completely clear with only a thin strip of useless clear adhesive around the edge. I had put it in a cupboard as a backup because it was so useless.

But, I have a pixel 2 XL, which also has curved glass. I spent the money & bought a liquid adhesive tempered glass kit from InvisShield. Similar to Whitestone Dome. It uses Loca glue cured with a UV light to glue the clear glass down. No bubbles, no Halo, no dot matrix.

Today, after my wife cracked the dot matrix protector that was on her phone, I pulled this cheap backup glass out of the cupboard & decided I would test whether or not the Loca application would work with it. I peeled the adhesive off in one strip, cleaned both sides of the protector with alcohol, and glued it on with Loca. The result is nothing short of impressive.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Mr Joegernaut:
Anyone recommend a screen protector that works with spigen rugged armor case? I am open to plastic or tempered glass covers, just want something to prevent scratches, I figure the gorilla glass 5 and case will help with shatters/drops.
[HTC U11  Accessories] vegetaleb:
Looks like imak hydrogel is the only wet film for U11 I could find on aliexpress, is it covering the whole screen? Is it cover compatible?
[HTC U11  Accessories] dragona:
Just to let you all know:)

I have bought HTC U11 Screen Protector[Perfect improved version], Beyeah Full Coverage Tempered Glass Screen Protector for HTC U11 with [2.5D Round Edge] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074GL235F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and

HTC U11 Case, Spigen® [Liquid Crystal] HTC U11 Case

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0728937FV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Absolutely perfect. Because of all the reviews that particular case/screen protector combo would not work out, I now have a a large stash of film/glass protectors that I bought just in case but all good! The case does not push the protector off, I am delighted. About as close to perfection as I can get.

Recommend that combination 100%.
[HTC U11  Accessories] davidtm0:
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, won't work for us in USA. I'm curious - any Newton's rings or halo with that screen protector?
[HTC U11  Accessories] dragona:
That is a real shame:(. Google like crazy, there must be a way! No halo, not a thing, no bubbles, looks seamless, can barely see it on the screen, very very VERY pleased.

Now what to do with the others :)
[HTC U11  Accessories] vegetaleb:
People used to complain about this kind of screen protectors being ''empty'' inside without any adhesive, giving bad touchscreen response, is it the same for this one?

Does dust and dirt get between the glass and the case?

Is it hard enough to stand a fall?

Thank you!
[HTC U11  Accessories] skynet.84:
Well it's hard to say that! I just put this protector 5 hours ago...

The case I'm using is Spigen Crystal (the best in my opinion)! ?
[HTC U11  Accessories] vegetaleb:
I am using a cheap glass screen protector till I receive the imak hydrogel, I won't feel happy till I apply a full screen protection and film ones were the best on my HTC 10 and S8, so I guess because of the 2.5D curves it will also be the case for my U11. I have a TPU cover that is rather slim so it won't in theory lift the film's edges. Also liquid film advantage is that we can re-arrange them in case it wasn't posed correctly, I will give my feedback once I get the imak.
[HTC U11  Accessories] golf12:
Has anyone used a Spigen screen protector with the Spigen rugged case?
[HTC U11  Accessories] spyros_mad_doc:

[HTC U11  Accessories] touch125:
I use this TG, from aliexpress

before apply, I use hair dryer on the TG to soften the glue.
[HTC U11  Accessories] vegetaleb:
My Imak hydrogel (water film protection) finally arrived, I was using a cheap tempered glass before and started to lift off in some corners + it was ugly because it was smaller than the screen width, so I applied the imak film very easily with water (they give you an empty shell that you have to fill with clean water), I aligned it 99% perfectly, though once it dried I noticed about 5 dusts trapped under :(

I should have take more precautions like using the air blow right before applying the film. Thank God the liquid film protectors can be re-used, though I don't know how to take out the dusts that are sticked to the film itself

So how to ''clean'' a liquid type film and re-apply it?

Should I spray tons of water on it once peeled out so the dusts particles will eventually slide off the film?? I am afraid using a dust sticker would damage the film itself
[HTC U11  Accessories] vegetaleb:
Ok so I used the second film from imak, this time I have prepared a cup of tea so the condensation smoke diminishes the dust in the air, and my camera air blower, everything went well, not a single dust trapped under the film this time:D

Though because there was some water bubbles I had to push them out with the credit card in fibre cloth trick, it made some traces in the film like tunnels due to the water being pushed out, its only visible outdoor so it doesn't bother me. Better this orange skin effect than a scratched screen or ugly tempered glass that pop out all around.

The imak film covers about 98% of the surface but as my TPU case is thin the borders of the film is not lifting like it used to do on my S8 (even though it was more case friendly)

All and all I am pretty happy with the iMak film protection, it's way better than the tempered glass I had before it, at least now I re-discover my U11 true face :laugh:

[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
The Liquipel Ghostguard liquid screen protector is pure crap. I wish I continued to use my HTC wallet case cause then I wouldn't have a scratch on my phone. I broke the plastic case in the wallet case and started using the Incipio NGP, which is a really nice case for $10. I bought the Ghostguard, thinking I would give it a chance but it offers no protection. It's a scam and I'm gonna make sure they know about it.

So I tried looking for a way to remove the Ghostguard but apparently it bonds with the glass and there is no way to remove it. Was hoping it may remove my light scratch.

I ended up using the hard plastic case that comes with the U11 to repair my wallet case. It's the same exact case, just super glued it on. The wallet case has provided the best protection for me. Wish they would bring back the IceView case for the U12+ and make it work with the squeeze features someway.

I tried the Imaks and they were great at first, they just don't last long.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
Still no issues on my device with the Ghostguard applied, and I've been using it naked the entire time (except when not in use and it's in the FitBag). Not a single scratch on either side, and I've looked extremely close to find one. I also think I saw that you made a post about your home button/fingerprint reader not behaving correctly now. Not supposed to apply it over that area. Sorry to see it didn't work out on your end.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Yes no scratches for me either when in use. It's the fitbag that protected yours, not the Ghostguard.

My fingerprint sensor has been fine since I buffed the whole thing with an alcohol wipe.

Skinomi full body skin. Works awesome. Use to use Nacodex, but got tired of it cracking. Been Skinomi now 6Mo. Tight as day 1. Install fairly painless, But letting it dry for 12hrs hardest part. They recommend doing it before bed.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tkoreaper:
That's not true. A tempered glass protector may shatter and save the screen if the drop isn't too great, but it's not designed for shock protection; It's for scratch protection. And as far as glass is concerned, the higher the scratch resistance is the worse the shock resistance will be because it is more brittle. A soft protector absorbs shock and a hard one won't scratch as easily. You wouldn't have companies like RhinoShield making their kind of screen protectors if what you said was true.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Kisakuku:
No idea what your argument has to do with the statement that liquid screen protectors offer no drop resistance.
[HTC U11  Accessories] itiskonrad:
I think you guys are talking about two different things. The "liquid" protector he's talking about is a very new line of glass protectors that come with a little liquid glue you apply to the screen before applying the glass so that it fills out the bubbles and makes a better seal.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tkoreaper:
What I read was 'liquid applied screen protector' so I assumed that he was talking about the film protectors that come with a liquid solution that you spray on the display and the film itself. Anyways, I still think that what you are talking about offers more drop protection than a completely naked screen.
[HTC U11  Accessories] *justintime*:
This one look quite allright. Rounded corners..... but i hope it will not feel "sharp"

https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/IMAK...ft-Hydrogel/32818226011.html?isOrigTitle=true
[HTC U11  Accessories] JonesWTF:
This is exactly what I was referring to. I know they offer very little drop protection but from the look of things, with the amount of tension on the very corners of the curved edges of the screen, a flat glass protector also won't protect anything if dropped directly on a corner as they don't wrap around the edges.

At least liquid/spray film protectors cover the whole screen, still protects against scratches and don't have unsightly edges.
[HTC U11  Accessories] *justintime*:
It's snake oil... Placebo effect. For smudge and fingerprint friendly. Yes... But not for drop protection.
[HTC U11  Accessories] JonesWTF:
What exactly is your analogy of snake oil referring to?

I'm not talking about those sprays that promise to stop scratches.

I'm talking about the screen protectors where you spray the screen and thin tpu style screen protector, to help with adhesion and easy removal of bubbles. In my opinion, they're the best kind for screens with rounded edges, as it actually reaches the edge.
[HTC U11  Accessories] *justintime*:
Ow sorry I thought you meant those Nano coating screen protectors.

What kind of protection is what you mean? I am not familiar with that system.

Do people really put screen protectors on? Aren't these Gorilla glass screens supposed to be pretty durable? I didnt use a screen protector on my M8 and across 2.5 years never got a scratch I don't want to blur/diminish my phones screen by adding a protector
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
i use it most for protection when i drop the phone accidentally... and that is a lot, way to frequent the phone lands face down on pavement / sidewalk.

so a rugged case + screen protector is always a must for my phones.

otherwise they won't survive a week with me :p

the drops are so bad that even the protection case itself breaks over time.

the screen protectors have saved my phones countless of times.
[HTC U11  Accessories] PeterMike:
Gorilla glass will be scratch by one seed of sand.
[HTC U11  Accessories] davidtm0:
I am really interested in a good tempered glass screen protector that will work with the Spigen Crystal Clear TPU case. I tried a full-screen protector, and it did not work with the case. Another partial protector did not fit on the curved edge of the screen.

Any specific recommendations??

[2-PACK]-Mr Shield For HTC U11 [Full Cover] [Black] Screen full screen

It doesn't cover the full screen and smudges and smears a lot. Picks up all the lint out of pockets, when off I see some rainbow crap in center of screen and what's the deal with the dot matrix on the screen. All else it's ok and I did a great job lining it up...
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I took this same kind of advice once a few years ago and believed it but then found the screen does get scratched, nothing stops sand from scratching. I've had great luck with my HTC 10 Ice View and HTC Klik cases, protects the screen very well so I am starting off with the HTC wallet case. I'm waiting to see how IMak Full Coverage Screen works, it looks really nice.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

I can't understand what you get with this protector, does it come with both screen and back or do you pick which one? I would like only the back cover. Can't get it to translate.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Kisakuku:
"Rainbow crap" is Newton's rings because there is no adhesive over the visible portion of the screen. The dot matrix is there to keep the digitizer working despite this air gap.
[HTC U11  Accessories] 09Ram:
For anyone looking for very minimal protection (scratch prevention only), I recommend the clear Ilumi Aquashield front and back protectors. Perfect fit although the front skin doesn't go all the way around the curved edge. But it goes far enough to cover the side bezels. The back covers the glass completely to the metal frame. Super clear and not noticeable at all. I have it on for a week now and I'm very happy with it. http://m.ebay.com/itm/2x-iLLumi-Aqua...%7Ciid%3A1

I tried glass screen protectors and was very disappointed with bad fit, bad touch response or edges not contouring to the screen.
[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
Can you post pics of the back installation? I'm interested in this....
[HTC U11  Accessories] hgoldner:
Just installed one of these. Pretty happy so far. No haloing. Some Newtons' Rings in center, but otherwise very happy.

The key to installation is getting the capacitative buttons right, then everything else falls into place.
[HTC U11  Accessories] itiskonrad:
Just wanted to contribute my experience in case it helps anyone! I think the curviness of modern screens has left them with tiny inconsistencies in production which can make some protectors stick perfectly on some phones and unable to fully adhere to others. I had an Omoton glass protector on perfectly at first, but then I bumped it a bit and had to replace it. I must have gone through a dozen other Omoton and other similar glass protectors, and absolutely NONE of them would fully adhere, especially on the right side of my phone. Finally, I thought maybe my phone was just a tiny bit too curvy on the right side, so I placed the glass protector just a hair (and I mean just a hair- maybe 0.5mm too far to the left) at the top of the screen, and voila, it adhered perfectly, no bubbles, no halo. Yeah, my screen protector is a tiny bit uneven (extending ~1.5mm over the screen on the left vs ~0.5mm on the right), but it's absolutely flawlessly adhering now. So if anyone wants to give it a shot, try placing it not quite perfectly centered. I know that's not the best solution, but quite frankly, I'll be thrilled the day everyone stops producing these stupid curved screens in phones.
[HTC U11  Accessories] davidtm0:
Is that the Spigen liquid crystal case? Looks like it and the screen protector play nicely.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Badelhas:
Is that a totally crystal clear TPU Case? Does it affect the way the color shifts when we look at the back of the smartphone?

Cheers
[HTC U11  Accessories] itiskonrad:
Yes, it is! They play super nicely- no overlap, no pushing on the sides of the screen protector even when using edge squeeze, so no lifting. And the front lip of the case is thick-enough that even with the screen protector on, the case still keeps the screen off the surface when the phone is placed face down.

It's the Spigen Liquid Crystal case, which is totally clear except for those microdots on the back. They're still visible and still mute the reflections of the glass back a bit, but much less than all the other cheaper clear tpu cases where the dots are much more pronounced (I probably have about a dozen of those other cheaper ones by now).
