How do you put the screen protector perfectly aligned and without bubbles nor dust particles?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] nm08053:
I have used the Baseus and the Spigen full screen protectors on my Mi 8 but both interfered with the proximity sensor (always on). I am considering buying the Nillkin Cp Plus Max but I have doubts. Does it have a cut out for the sensor? Does it block the sensor?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
It depends on the seller, they have 2 versions.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] hegys:
I bought it from htt ps: //ww w.aliexpress.com/item/For-xiaomi-mi-8-glass-screen-protector-full-covered-nillkin-3D-Max-9H-0-33mm-thin/32885844435.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.37f04c4d3zsHVv (sorry cant post links). It has 2 cutouts - for the speaker and the sensor. But i didnt install it(wont use it now) because i am using Spigen Rugged Armor case and i think it wont fit :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] dudyno:
I am planning the same case so I would like to know compatible glass ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] hegys:
Ive purchased Nillkin Cp Plus Max and Amazing H+PRO 9H Tempered Glass for my MI 8.

As i said in my previous post - CP plus wont fit with Spigen Rugged Armor, but Amazing H+ PRO 9H will fit. I am not applying because my phone came with random noname glass and its still ok. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] blop135:
So i ordered the Nilkin CP+ max twice and I've got to say it's the crappiest screen protector I've ever owned to install. I removed the protection on the first one very slowly and it broke at the end. So I tought it was me and I ordered a second one and make it remove to an other person telling him to be very careful and he broke it too even being extra careful. This thing is impossible to remove from its protector. I'm very disappointed.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] _katho_:
lol

Yeah, the problem is probably the screen protector, not you guys who can't take care and handle things correct. :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
Coincidentally other brands do not break, only this one, therefore the problem is the Nillkin crystal. I have already known three cases.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] blop135:
Look on Aliexpress the number of people who had the same experience as me plus I ordered another one since and putted it on whithout any problem so yes probably me...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] moodmoody:
Does any have problem with Face ID after applying the screen protector?

Because I tried three from different companies and they have the same problem which is (face Id becomes dumb and can't recognise my face until I remove the glassy screen protector)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] _katho_:
Haven't had any isssues med Face ID with any screenprotector.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] lost0ne:
My Nillkin protector broke on the end when I was simply pushing out the bubbles... Lol. I've never had one that did that before. I guess I'll cancel my second order of it so I don't waste my money on another one...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Zirocks:
I just noticed that finding a good protector is a real pain for this mi8

I bought the "GPNACN Protective Glass" on aliexpress ( can't post link ).

And what a disappointment !

The glass look really nice but so much problem with it :

- Face ID don't function anymore , now he unlock the phone for everybody, pretty f*cked for a security lock :D

- Touchscreen don't work well, sometimes my finger aren't recognized , really obvious when playing games

- The screen now have a yellowish tint especially on white content

- Sensors seems bugged too

- Fingerprint magnet , despite what they said

And as I see, none of all I found seems to be good in every case , each have problems somewhere, even expensive one :/

Does totally full screen ( no hole ) protector works with sensors (light and proximity) and face ID ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] _katho_:
Same as have been mentioned multiple times here, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-...P-MAX-Curve-Full-Coverage-9H/32854143554.html

Mine is still perfect.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Zirocks:
So with the nillkin CP+MAX, you confirm that you have no problem at all ?

Like no face id/sensors, yellow tint or touchscreen problem ?

And can you confirm that is not a glass with separate glue to apply by ourselves ?

Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] _katho_:
No problems whatsoever. All sensors, FaceID etc works perfect.

No, no separate glue to apply.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] jxl69:
Jep i can confirm also Nillkin CP+Max has no problem with faceid/sensors, no yellow tint or any other, touch is flawless and slides on it are ultra smooth. It's just somewhat fragile. Beside that maybe best possible screen protector.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Zirocks:
Thanks guys , I just ordered one from amazon ( 13,99€ ) , I wish I will be lucky enough to not broken it before I could apply it :D
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Chainsy:
Any tips for apply the tempered glass ?

For dust / other ?

I got one,but i broken it when i wanted to remove it because some dust has go behind the glass.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Crossvxm:
This may sound silly, but a lint roller - like the ones that are a roll of sticky tape - works wonders. That and do the process on a hard, lint-free surface, not your bed or so on, and do not move too much in the area you will work in as the dust that has already settled will be disturbed.

What I do is clear one of my dressers, wipe it down with a moist cloth, let the area be for about 1 hour, then return to apply the protector. Keep your breathing from pushing air towards the screen to avoid blowing any circulating dust particles from floating to the screen. Typically, these protectors come with a sticky dust remover tape, in which case you won't need the lint roller. Sometimes companies cheap out and do not include the sticky, sometimes they forget, sometimes it's not very sticky, so in these situations, it is best to use the sticky lint roller. Follow this advice and you'll have a dust free install.

EDIT: FACE UNLOCK DOES NOT WORK. But if you're into a more full protection, it is still a great choice.

For everyone interested, here's the one I recently purchased. The installation came out precise thanks to the tool, and the quality is excellent. No gaps on the edges, smooth swipes, no touch issues, no yellow tints, and goes perfect with the default case. It even includes a liquid for white edges, but you won't need it at all.

Everything works fine? Face ID?

Because i saw it's 9 EUR in France
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Crossvxm:
I never got to test it before due to my Face unlock not being "accessible" (it depends on your region settings). I tested it out and unfortunately it doesn't work :(

To me it's not an issue as I prefer the speed and convenience of the fingerprint sensor, but do not buy it if you depend on Face unlock. It's sad, it is very good quality, but this explains why others have a full notch cutout, same as my Surface Pro 4 which has the entire top camera/sensor section cut out from the tempered glass.

After read all the review in this thread I think I will go with the Nillkin 3d cp+ max

I hope I don't have any issues with the tempered glass. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
Today I tried to install the Nillkin CP+Max for Mi8 and it broke while removing the protection lid.

I did it very carefully but it broke.

How can it pretend to protect the mobile if it breaks within your fingers?

Any good tempered alternative?

I will also try hydrogel.

So disappointed...

Is nillkin full tempered glass the same thing?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
I bought Nillkin 3D CP+ and it broke while removing the stick, so I couldn't even try it. I've read that many other people had the same problem. It's unacceptable an expensive protector behaves like that.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] johnnyman25:
So what u recommend me my friend?

Mi 8 Power be with you
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
Unfortunatelly I don't know.

I wanted to give another chance to tempered glass protectors and I'm waiting for this one:

https://es.aliexpress.com/item/Xiao...108.1000016.1.4bf46816r6GtKb&isOrigTitle=true

But I haven't received it yet. I don't know if it will work but at least it's cheaper.

Another option would be not to use tempered glass but gel, it doesn't break but I think it feels worse.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] johnnyman25:
Does this cover bit of the screen left and right like 0.5mm?

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Jeik:
Shockingly it didn't, probably because the side bezels of the Mi8 SE are thick to begin with.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] hypern0va:
Guys, can I have a photo from someone who has a tempered glass with the black borders around?

I would like to understand if the black covers the screen (as it happens with other phones) and if the glass is bigger than the usual transparent glasses, which are smaller in order to avoid the detached screen edges.

Also, I have tried the Ibywind glass, the liquid works ok but it goes away after about a week every time, and the screen has a good quality but awful, awful oleophobicity.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Stoffl_:
Got my Nillkion CP max today and tried to apply but wasn't happy with the results. There'd always remain a lifted area on some corner or edge. :/

Screen was clean and lint free. After multiple attempts to get it to fix evenly and without any lifted areas I lost the battle.

Pretty frustrating, I'm used to better results from 3$ tempered glass protectors...

Maybe that specific screen protector was defective or damaged from shipping.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] gargant:
So do i !

People should trust a little more a Gorilla Glass 5 screen.

When i read all the comment here... do you really think a screen protector that break in your hand from just being removed will do anything to protect your phone ?

I don't believe it.

The only real protection in my mind is a Flip cover case, but few like them.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
But they are annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] johnnyman25:
Best tempered glass for me is spigen GLAS.tR Slim Full Cover.

Very very good glass-full glue without cut screen on sides.

All works very good,face unlock,ir,camera.

For the back i have ultimateshield film that also covers sides and top!

1) Are you sure spigen doesn't cut the screen at all? Not even the slightest?

2) Also how does it look compared to no tempered? Does it bother you?

Just want to make sure it's good coz it costs 19 euro here and that's pretty expensive for tempered glass.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Crossvxm:
To some such as myself it has nothing to do with the strength of the glass, rather to avoid scratches and wear of the factory oleophobic coating as there is really nothing that comes close to it. Once you wear down the coating, scratches happen more easily. The coating not only repels water and oils, it reduces the friction when it comes into contact with foreign objects (debris from work, dirt, etc). We've all seen how ugly a deep scratch can, especially on white backgrounds such as when reading things on the web. There is no getting rid of it, unlike tempered glass where you can easily replace it if it truly gets bothersome. Also, it does make a difference if you get one that is quality. Glass is glass and will break no matter if it is Gorrilla Glass 10, especially the thinner it is, but I have experienced ultra thin quality tempered glass do a perfect job with huge impact. In more extreme impact, I guarantee the LCD inside will break before the glass you touch, meaning that the tempered glass did it's job.

For everyone who is still indecisive on which is best, I would suggest the one I mentioned from Ibuywind. I did mention that it interferes with the face unlock, but if you make sure the cut outs are perfectly aligned with each sensor (camera, etc) using the included tool, it works perfectly (someone pointed this out to me and upon testing, it turns out to be true). It has been very reliable. It is the easiest protector to apply, the oleophobic coating works perfectly and I have seen very minimal wear to it which is as good as other big name brands, I have yet to see a scratch on it, it has not chipped or cracked, it has no white edges, it has a very high compatibility with most if not all cases, it has no tints and is very transparent and you get two for a great price.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Chi Am:
As I stated previously, usually go 'Naked" with a Crystal Clear Fusion Hybrid Bumper case, having lost count on the numerous cracked glass protectors.

While waiting for a reputable branded seller of a good transparent case, I ordered Front & Back Nano Hydrogel Film as suggested by

I am more than delighted with these Hydrogel films, unlike the UltimateShield films which feels cutting/sharp edges, the Hydrogel films are smooth.

After application, you won't notice there's added protection unless you look very closely.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Stoffl_:
Face unlock is working and not compromised with the hydrogel film ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] skanskan:
Some people reported most hydrogel films don't fit properly on this curved screen.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Accessories] Stoffl_:
My Spigen tempered glass arrived yesterday.

Just applied it, no bubbles. Doesn't cover the entire screen but otherwise looking ok.

Face unlock working without issues!

I'd give it a 9/10 so far.

Definitely better and easier to apply than the Nillkin. Similar price - was 16usd on Aliexpress.

Im pretty Happy with the spigen. But you have to be really carefully while applying otherwise it will Break. I am using it with the spigen case witch is really great. Before that i had the nillkin Glass but it not compatible with the spigen case

Hello, My name is John.

Best glass screen protector found for mi8, is Baseus, with cutout only for earpiece. Sensors work perfect and it barely cuts the screen size on the sides. I used mofi 3d (narrower than screen and lets dust in at sensors and cameras), kesselrig (ok but narrower) and a bunch of chinese, full glue (ok but noarrower and lets dust in).

God bless

That's expensive piece of shi*.

There are only two instead of five holes and full of bubbles that can not be removed. Before that I ordered no-name 5D screen protector and same crap, but at least it was cheap. Now i don't know what to buy. I'll try CAFELE Tempered Glass, it's only 2.99$.

Recently, I got "MOFI Diamond Anti Explosion High Definition Tempered Glass Full Screen Protector For Xiaomi Mi8". I applied it, it seemed to be good, and it is 2.5D. But when I opened a pdf document, I realized that there are tiny & glitter dots all around the screen. They are visible especially when the screen is white.

And also the another problem is about the front camera. All the sensor locations have holes on the screen protector except front camera, and weirdly the notched part has no glue. There was no dust when I applied the MOFI screen protector, but as notched section has no glue, it does not stick to screen, and therefore some dusts get in from sensor hole to the front camera.

I contacted banggood about the issue, but they have horrible customer service. They always send the same email;

"Thank you for your feedback regarding order 59990769. We want to express our genuine apology for all inconvenience caused.

I do have 3x Mi8 in my family so tried many Screen Protectors so far, let me review all of them:

1st try original Xiaomi 2,5D glass, not bad, but not up to edges and too many scratches so fast /around 5e gearbest/

2nd Nillkin CP+Max, didnt fit well, like crooked also too expensive /10e geekbuying/

3rd Baseus Full Coverage - didnt work well as there is not the hole for promixity sensor, had black screen during calls /€ 5,98 aliexpress/

4th try - last one CAFELE - best value for the money, works well as it has hole for promixity sensor, but it still cuts a fraction of a millimeter on the edges, mainly right or left side as all full coverage tempered Screen Protectors /€ € 3,59 aliexpress/

so do you know about any full coverage Screen Protector with not black edges but with transparent all piece of Screen Protector?

thanks
