Hello to all!

got get my 6gb htc u11 in a few days

already got 4gb ram in red..

bought a screen protector for it and dont like it...on the edges does not fit....when touching the screen..we can fill the protector...its not natural...

any advice on the best screen protector for the u11? that can fit the edges and be natural on the touch?

curved glass displays have this screen protector problems....

thanks in advance!

Regards!
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
The pics I posted above are great. The protector covers the entire screen and rounds the edges very nice. And feels like glass even though it is a rubber screen protector. The backing makes it look like it doesn't even have a protector it fits so nice.
[HTC U11  Accessories] HcMAX:
the rubber actually protects anything?

also, the view makes clear display? or any foggy? cause its not glass protector..

where did u buy that?

not looking t protect the back..just the front...the back i dont use anything..makes some scratches yes..but..

Actually the full screen protector is working very well with my wallet case. Probably won't be able to pull it in and out much but it is looking like a beaut. And I have to correct my description, the screen protector is ultra clear, the back protector is matte/ frosted.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I couldn't believe how easy it was to Apply once I reapplied it the correct way. Dry install was awful for a clear style skin lol.
[HTC U11  Accessories] android_patrizian:
How safe is it? Could not find vids etc. about scratch or fall tests on their site.
[HTC U11  Accessories] MartiniWisdom:
No white edges here or bubbles,all good. Would be better with more top and bottom coverage but ok...
[HTC U11  Accessories] riggsandroid:
Looking for any further po' folk? ;)
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I am really digging the PhantomSkinz protectors, I want to try the Ultra clear back protector but the frosted matte is looking so nice and natural I don't want to take it off. It really looks like it's the natural phone. Much better than that Imak back I used. I don't know what was up with that thing, it was perfect and gorgeous at first but then it ended up with permanent marks on it that could not be wiped. It was like that thing was uncleanable lol. But the PhantomSkinz screen protector and back combo is perfection. You notice extremely minimal orange peel on the screen protector but it feels really nice, almost like glass feel, not rubbery. And the way both curve around and meet makes the phone look naked. The cutouts are so perfect they are hardly noticeable. I love being able to lay my phone down without worrying about a single scratch.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hemingway60:
Hey, would you be kind enough to tell us how it's holding up so far after a week of use? Any pros or cons, durability, fingerprint resistance etc? I'm considering to buy the U11 but I'm just trying to decide on the accessories first. The case I finalised on was Spigen's rugged armour. Thank you.
[HTC U11  Accessories] ffforce:
It's holding up fine. Noticed that the white edges come and go depending on temperature. It's not scratched at all, and fingerprint is just like any other tgsp. Simple wipe will get it away, and it'll come back when you touch it. Doesn't affect visibility
[HTC U11  Accessories] [Fenix]:
So I'm back with some info about the "Imak hydrogel film" screen protector.

The application was far from simple (only 5 minutes to see in what layer the film is :eek:), but the result is satisfactory.

No problem with the visibility of the display.

The only defect is caused by tiled glass: bubbles remain on the sides and the film rises.

Incompatible with the Spigen rugged armor cover, which makes the film very slippery.

I'll order the Ultimate Shield to try it in the future :fingers-crossed:
[HTC U11  Accessories] felipenam:
Did anyone try this one ? I see its made of some sort of silicone. any thoughts?

[HTC U11  Accessories] theFume:
I have one. It's good for scratch protection. I tried sooooo many tempered glass ones and either got the glue look in the center or edges not sticking and looking horrible. I gave up on tempered glass. This one is not tempered glass but is a good scratch resistant protector. Only problem is, I do have a defect on mine that looks like a minor straight precise scratch. Turns all rainbow colored in certain light. I can't get a picture of it, so the return policy kinda screws me here. I'll have to go bare screen for a few days or use a backup phone.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I have been going without a case since I broke my wallet case so I installed a new PhantomSkinz screen protector. Posting new pics to show how well the back is holding up. This sucker is a beaut. Still have the matte/frosted back, looks so good don't want to take it off just yet. The screen protector looks much better this time. Love carrying this thing bare without worrying about scratching it. Posted a lot of pics cause I'm not very good at it. trying to get nice shots. https://phantomskinz.com/htc-u11/
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
Found it !

A perfect fit Screen protector, that goes edge to edge without leaving lifted areas typical of those 9H protectors.

This one uses the material from that Shield (forgot name), very flexible, and adheres perfectly, self healing, and bubbles goes away easily.

Application was well designed, they had a nice split between the holes for camera, sensor, speaker, etc, so you stick that part first and align, then once set, you peal the rest of it off, and it fits perfectly!
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
It's the same typical wet application screen protector like Skinomi, IQ Shield, InvisibleShield, PhantomSkinz, XtremeGuard, Best Skins Ever, Delta Shield, etc. They're all some form of 3M puncture resistant "thermoplastic urethane".
[HTC U11  Accessories] waldaz:
hi, where did you get it from?
[HTC U11  Accessories] felipenam:
So where did you get it ? Can you share the link?

And do you have more pictures?

So this isn't tempered glass, right? I can't tell from the packaging but looks like its not tgsp

My bad forgot to add the link, I picked it up from Amazon

I'll add more pictures later,

all the bubbles are gone after it settle down.

[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Trying to get a shot to show how flawless the Phantomskinz screen protector is. Need to learn how to use my camera better.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Does this one wrap around the rounded edges? My PhantomSkinz wraps perfectly so it is barely noticeable.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Strange thing is it's stating it's stronger than glass. But what does that mean?

Surely it's thinner so how is it stronger? I wouldn't think it protects better against impact
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
this one doesn't wrap around, it just stop short of the case edges.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

nah, it's not a 9H screen, those will never fit properly.

This is those super strong and bouncy plastic that can't be perforated.

it's like

https://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisibleshield

and

https://www.armorsuit.com/
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
Ok, but apart from perforation what about shock absorption?

Glass shattering can absorb, and there's plenty thick of it to do it. Is there a newer review about this attribute comparing each? I should google around, earlier tgsp was the winner

I'm more happy with a shattered tgsp than with a nonpunctured plastic with shattered screen
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
So may be better for using cases although phantomskinz has a case friendly version as well.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Which TGSP was the winner? I agree with you totally, I have had phone screens saved from TGSP, XtremeGuard always worked perfectly for me until the HTC 10, the rounded screens. And it only costs about $1.50 with the 90% off code they always have. I have had 2 XtremeGuards on my nieces iPhone 7 and it fits really nice and cannot hardly tell it is there, and feels like the real glass. Her first one shattered and protected her screen from cracking. XtremeGuard didn't even bother to make one for the U11.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
Did you give the Lamshaw a try yet? IMHO, I think it's the best TGSP we're going to get.

Edit: Doh, just checked Amazon and they raised the price to $6.99 from $5.05. I still think it's worth it though!
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
I tried that one before, I didn't like it, it left the annoying gap on the sides, big strip of air bubble that doesn't go away.

That's why I gave up on the 9H glasses (TGSP), conventional PET Film or Armor Shield protector are doing a better job.
[HTC U11  Accessories] tbalden:
At least aesthetically. But shatter protection or feel is not that good :(
[HTC U11  Accessories] Tikerz:
Sounds like you got the all clear version. That one is junk like all the rest.

Their full coverage version is very good.

https://www.amazon.com/Screen-Protector-Lamshaw-Tempered-cover-Black/dp/B0711YBG6W/
[HTC U11  Accessories] AllGamer:
yup, I got the clear version, the one without the black stripes on the top and bottom.

tried several brands, returned them all.

didn't try the one with the black stripes, I didn't like the design.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Not yet but I want to. Right now I am using the Phantomskinz, it is beautiful and fits perfectly but it's not a TGSP. I really liked my Imak so I know I will like the Lamshaw. I'm sure it is very similar but better. I cracked the corner of my Imak after a couple weeks of use.

I didn't think I would like it either but if you install it right you can hardly tell it is there. Obviously you can tell it is there but if you want a TGSP for shatter protection the Imak with the black border really surprised me, but the Lamshaw is even better than the Imak. It's the price we pay if we are the type that needs that type of protection. But once applied correctly I really enjoyed it.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Here is a good deal, love these screen protectors and back protectors. Very easy to apply and makes your U11 look natural. Much better than Zagg or Skinomi
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Supposed to get my HTC U11 back by Thursday, that's if HTC keeps their word and the first thing I will be doing is applying the PhantomSkinz UltraClear back protector and screen protector.

Yes at first, with the Matte/frosted protector as shown in my pics, I followed the video for the Carbon Fiber skin, this was before you had your new video up. So I applied it dry, it was very hard and turned out bad. Once I figured out I applied it wrong, I removed it, took it to the sink and washed it with Dawn dish soap and attempted to re-apply it and it turned out near perfect. Adhesion was great and it lasted me at least a month before I had to remove it for warranty repair with no marks, no scratches and looked as natural as naked. I really enjoyed the frosted look and the ability to use my phone without a case since the U11 is such a beautiful, shiny device, it seems it could be scratched or marred very easily. For the quality and the warranty and if you want protection that keeps the U11 looking natural, PhantomSkinz is a sure win.

Can anyone recommend a good tgsp which works with incipio ocatne / rugged armor ?

Edit: how good is OMOTON tgsp ?
[HTC U11  Accessories] nivisan:
Hi,

Can you give me some recommandations about a good screen protector against drop/impact/keys.. which cover the full screen (edge to edge and can't see the screen protector if possible)).

I will use the Caseology vault series case (please tell me if you have a better recommandations for the case against drop/impact).

Thanks for your help

Get some high quality 3M scotch tape, use it to lift up the corner and dab the adhesive side with another piece of tape. Mind you, I would definitely use 3M tape because low quality dollar store tape can deposit adhesive onto the protector. If it gets too bad, you can remove the protector, wash it and re-apply. Wash your hands thoroughly, put the protector in a clean bowl with distilled water as tap can have some particulates that will cause bubbles.

Be sure to clean your screen down with alcohol before applying, water or a cloth aren't enough to strip away all of the oils and smudges that can be on the glass. My Phantomskinz protector has been perfectly fine for the past few weeks with no peeling or anything, I think correct initial install is vital.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Yes as previously posted, I was very successful at running my Phantomskinz back protector under running water while rubbing dish detergent on it, rinsing it and reapplying almost like it was new. Didn't try with the screen protector as I didn't have issues with it but should work the same. Also I think they provide two screen protectors. I had to remove both to send device back for replacement but I have an ultraclear phantomskinz waiting to apply upon my U11's return. Can't wait since Oreo is on the way.

Ps... Was wondering if anyone has been going completely naked since launch and if so how is it holding up?
[HTC U11  Accessories] HcMAX:
Well...yeah back protector is good..pretty happy with it. I got ultra clear skins

My issues is with front and screen edges...skin does not glue properly to it...

Other than that all great

Running fully named since day 1 would be crazy cause this screen if falls might scratch and break first fall and back don't know but might scratch any touch...

Gonna contact phantom skins support for advise

Thanks
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Edges stuck perfectly for me. Unless you have the full protector and try to use a case with it. They have a case friendly version.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
I'm still running it naked, with the Ghostguard protection, as well as the leather FitBag when not in use. Still looks perfect.
[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
I have the leather fitbag and it didn't fit well with a screen protector or back protector. I may consider this route when I get my new U11 next week.
[HTC U11  Accessories] HcMAX:
thanks gonna try it!
[HTC U11  Accessories] calikevin:
I just installed a couple of ArmorSuit Full Body Armor wraps and while they did take a couple of hours each to get on perfectly, I like the way they look and feel once settled. I too usually buy Skinomi for the Matte Skin but the reviews were not good so I decided to try a different brand this time.

Does anyone use both a full body skin AND a tempered glass protector? I like the wrap but I have a feeling it's not going to do much if it's dropped onto tile or concrete from a couple feet. I already dropped one from my knees onto tile and it landed on the screen, luckily I had a glass protector on it to take the impact. It cracked and chipped in a few places so it definitely did it's job, but it also left a halo effect around the edges so I wasn't completely happy with it. Looking for new glass protectors but I'm also not sure if they will work alongside the skin, if anyone has done this please let me know.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Slim Shady:
can anyone recommend a good tempered glass ?
[HTC U11  Accessories] 3lMghraby:
I bought that liquid nano screen protector

what do you think if you already tried is it good or should I consider a tgs ?

Just posted my review of the Phantomskinz Full-body matte skin and screen protector in the accessories forum. I still prefer the Brotect Airglass, but the Phantomskinz unit is a solid full-coverage solution and the body skin is excellent if you don't want the bulk of a case but want to retain that pearlescent sheen. Any questions welcome!

This is a very good tempered glass screen protector for HTC U11.

[HTC U11  Accessories] davidtm0:
Will the Spigen Liquid Crystal case fit over the edges? If so, that overlap could be a little more security.
[HTC U11  Accessories] hx3:
Have you used the tempered glass version yet? Really curious to see if it does cover the entire front, and how well it sticks. Especially at $20. I haven't read good things about any full screen TGSP's, primarily at how badly they adhere to the glass in full.
[HTC U11  Accessories] mathrania:
Is the liquid screen protector good on your U11 and did you apply it on back as well? Planning to order one after hearing from you.
[HTC U11  Accessories] 3lMghraby:
problem is that it was applied incorrectly by the seller (retail store)

it should be kept for at least 30 minutes before being wiped

but it is not reliable in protecting against scratches or break

I had micro scratches that can be seen on direct sun light only so I applied a TGSP afterwards

I don't recommend it at all
[HTC U11  Accessories] thomasck:
I still have plenty of pages to read to try to find another option for mine one, but so far I`ve tried 2 cases and 2 screen protectors.

1st case is the one provided with the mobile, but as the corners are not fully covered I bought a simple clear silicone one and does its job. Fits okay and for 2 pounds if fine. Screen wise talking, my 1st try was a tempered glass from SAMAR ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMAR-Pr...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 ), my god, such a piece of crap. It sticks VERY well to the screen but alignment is just impossible. It has a kind of black frame around that overlaps the screen, so I ended up loosing 1mm or 2mm on the sides, and that DOES matter for me, even if was not very noticeable. The edges of the protector were not flush, so in a question of time would be with dust/crap from my pockets.

in the end of the day I applied a simple wobbly inexpensive screen protector just not to go naked around, and I still looking for a nice screen protector that would fit all over the screen.
[HTC U11  Accessories] roydok:
I have yet to use it as I am currently using the film screen protector. It fits my U11 nicely.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Al3xxxinho:
Hi guys,

Is there a tempered screen protector that covers only the active part of the screen and does not give the halo effect when applied ?

I am tempted in buying one but have no ideea if I find a screen protector that works.

Thanks !
[HTC U11  Accessories] ujkadusko:
Brotect Airglass
[HTC U11  Accessories] oblivianz:
Currently using this one. It is good in the fact that it does not have any halo effect or Newton rings however it feels much less protective compared to traditional tempered glass as it is so thin.
[HTC U11  Accessories] kin'cheezus:
A heads-up for British folk. I've been using the 'Beyeah' protector off amazon for two weeks and it's useless. It's all cracked and damaged along the edges already and has a big crack forming in the middle of the screen. I haven't dropped it or banged it whatsoever, it's basically been living in my pocket free from keys or anything else. Don't be had.

Also using this, but it's way too small! Would be perfect if it would be 2mm larger on the sides.
[HTC U11  Accessories] envoy_467:
Someone with other inputs on the topic? My protector left me today, the edge got stuck in the pocket... It seems nothing really fits the U11...
[HTC U11  Accessories] slyguy0:
Respectfully disagree. Using the Brotect, and any wider imho, there would be haloing. My Case minimizes the gap around the edges.
[HTC U11  Accessories] harryw66:
I applied a TechGEAR TPU screen protector to my HTC U11 about 4 weeks ago. It was a bit tricky to align and apply, but I watched the video first and I have used TechGEAR previously on my HTC 10 and Nokia 8 phones.

I was originally using a gel case with a lip - so not sure if this caused it - but, about 1mm of edge all the way round lifted up within the first 24hrs.

Before discarding the SP I thought I would wait and see if it lifted any more...

Well, 1 month later the SP is still in place and still only about 1mm of the edge has lifted and collected dust.

The rest of the SP is still in place.

A few imperfections have formed on the main surface - but I believe these were down to me putting some keys in the same pocket and in contact with the front of the phone.

Also, it does not fully cover the curved edges - but definitely covers the whole of the flat part and a few mm of the curve. I suspect any more and most cases would end up spoiling the SP.

So, not perfect but it seems to be doing the job quite well of protecting my screen and at £5 for a pack of 3, I dont mind replacing it once the SP gets a bit more marked / damaged.

[HTC U11  Accessories] BLEK0TA:
After testing buying and trying many screen protectors I found best one buyed on the eBay only for 2 £ (around 2.5 €) per piece. And fits perfect. Really clear glass (no green or yellow tint like on other glass) and slim.

Here is picture and link on eBay

TL;DR - Skinomi misses the mark this time, IQ shield is smaller but does a better job.

Skinomi

IQ Shield

I tend to swear by the Skinomi series, for both HD and matte finishes, however this is the first one that I cannot stand. For every other rounded-edge phones, they fit perfectly - edge to edge. This one just barely creeps over the rounded edges, making it so any case you use (or even if you choose not to), starts to peel the screen protector up. I tried the IQ Shield, and while this one is cut smaller than Skinomi's, it does a good job at not creeping over the rounded edges at all, meaning you can still use a case. It isn't ideal, because there's a small gap between the protector and the case of unprotected glass, however it's at least manageable.
