Alinsea LOCA tempered glass from Amazon Canada (case friendly)

https://www.amazon.ca/Alinsea-Prote...teway&sprefix=alinsea,aps,147&sr=8-6-fkmrnull

Just like everyone else have mentioned, application with LOCA liquid is difficult, messy, and takes a lot of patience. I watched a number of youtube videos before doing this and my success rate is 2 out of 3 applications. Ruined the first one, and rest went ok. This one from amazon was my third run.

The good:

-	Case friendly! The company actually delivered as advertised. It covers a lot of the screen, but left just enough room to accommodate cases. Compatible with both my clear TPU case from Taobao / tmall and my Tech 21 Evo Check case.

-	Fingerprint sensor works, although at times require slightly higher pressure but it works

-	It is glass, so yes it feels smooth to touch

-	Comes with pre cut stickers that covers up all the holes (usb plug, mic, ear piece etc) from the LOCA liquid during installation

-	Company was VERY quick in providing a replacement (see below for reason why replacement was requested)

The bad:

-	It is not resistant to smudges from finger prints

-	2 weeks into it and top left corner started to detach (see attached photo). I do not know if this is due to the quality of the LOCA liquid or if there was simply insufficient liquid at that particular corner. I am confident in my application technique as I waited to make sure the entire protector has LOCA liquid spread underneath it before starting the UV bake. I also UV baked all 4 edges extensively (longer than recommended time) prior to baking the main part of the screen.

-	Expensive, $20 canadian dollars for 1 tempered glass. I think the company should at least provide an extra tube of LOCA liquid in case the first attempt goes wrong

See photos attached.

Taobao / tmall LOCA tempered glass (not case friendly)

Same as above with one major difference. This is quite close to FULL coverage, meaning not enough room along the edges to accommodate for cases. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures of it because 2 days into using it, the case started to lift it, I got frustrated and ripped it off. Mind you I waited 1 full day for the protector to settle before putting on the case. I do not recommend this if you plan to use a case.

Taobao / tmall soft full coverage screen protector (not case friendly)

https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?s...6684d62bdf7e2&abbucket=20&skuId=4032341339706

The good:

-	Extremely easy to install; dry installation with application device included.

-	Very good clarity (minimal orange peel effect)

-	Feels smooth to touch

-	Full coverage

The bad:

-	Full coverage which means incompatible with case. Just like the Tabao glass above, started to lift after 2 days using it.

I also did not take pictures of this one, I apologize. At the time I didn’t think I would write these reviews. But bottom line is, I wouldn’t recommend if you plan to use a case.

eBay plastic film lens protector

Not much to say. Plastic film will protect against scratches, most importantly, it does not interfere with the flash unlike the one below. Came in a pack of 6. Good value and does its job. Fast shipping from seller.

Came in a pack of 2. It is glass so obviously more protective than the film above. However, they made a cut out for the flash and it is a COMPLETE fail.ure You’d think they would actually test it before selling it to people. The cut out appears to be big enough, but the strong flash still catches it and causes a blue glare in photos and videos. Although flash photography is not preferred, sometimes it is still needed. If you plan to use your flash at all for photos or videos, do not buy this type of lens protector.
