Not sure how to help with the difference between 3D and 9D hopefully someone else could help with understanding any differences.

I can tell you that the screen protector I've been using is still holding well and there hasn't been any issues that I have run into :good:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] xhitm3n:
I never used tempered glass in any phone, my previous was OP 3T, it fell hundred times, never broke, had micro scratches, didint bother when using, i installed one now on the 7Pro and it just wastes the good screen, i always used naked, tempered glass is a scam... it wont protect your screen , only from minor scratches, im gonna naked again, didint like the experience, this is too good of a screen it needs to be naked. just get a good case
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
You are saying if its the choice between screen protector or case, get a case everytime and forget the screen protector ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] xhitm3n:
I always used a good case with screen bumper never had issues, gorilla glass is strong enough for most falls and scratches...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] JustPlainCool:
9D - 3D = 6D

Who said I'd never use algebra after high school!!!

JP :cool:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
Surely a TGSP would give even more protection though ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] xhitm3n:
[MENTION=6678657]SlyUK[/MENTION]

i dont think so, it looks so thin, any minor fall going to break the glass, if the glass breaks people feal like " better this than my screen" the thing is your screen is probably gonna break from the edges as most curved screens, as i said a good case with bumper for the screen will suffice, i see a diference in with and without, i prefer naked for the experience, as with everything you get used to, if you think a SP does protect you should use it, for me its a placebo. i take good care of my phone but **** happens.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
I've used 3d, 6d, and 9d, I believe 3d is because of the curve, I think 6d and 9d are supposed to have tapers at the edge of the screen so it doesn't feel as thick, but in all reality I think it's just marketing mumbo jumbo to make you feel like the 9d and 6d are going to be better than 3d, when in reality they're the same.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] petzku:
Still holding up perfectly. Super good value ???
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Batfink33:
Don't believe the GGlass marketing. My S8 screen completely smashed with a fairly minor fall. Had a good case on but no screen protector.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] xhitm3n:
i had my 3T with just a case for like 4 years, fell from various heights and floor types, always used Spigen Rugged Armor, now im using the clear case from OP7pro, we will see, all the people i know that had samsung curved screen phones happen to break it... maybe im lucky
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] codercat294:
Regarding the nillkin ds+ max,

I have installed it and have been using it for a few days. There are lots of air bubbles when u first place it down onto the phone, but do take the time to slowly work them out. I can recommend the method written by someone here that if some of the bubbles don't disappear when pressing them towards the edge, try pressing them towards the middle of the screen. I have multiple small bubbles that disappeared this way. While it takes some effort(it took me hours because one corner just refused to stick, until it did), i quite like the finished product. It is probably the best tgsp for those who doesn't want to dabble in uv glue.

Now some more information on the black borders. The black borders on the sides are really thin, enough that i think it makes negligible difference from naked screen. However the top and bottom black borders do cover a very tiny but slightly noticable amount of the screen. U will see that the space above and below the icons in the status bar and navigation bar is not completely symmetrical if u look hard enough. As I advised in an earlier post here do try to apply it with the arrow side of the bracket at the bottom, it helps to balance the top and bottom a bit more.

Overall I'm pretty happy with what I have here, and is willing to live with the hardly noticable covered screen part rather than the hassle of doing uv glue. I had one tmax uv glue glass before but the sides only barely cover the screen so even the tiniest amount of misalignment will cause rainbow effect at the edge of the glass as it refracts the screen's light, and my ocd will not allow that lol
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] .vermilion:
I had the Nillkin DS+ Max installed as well. I really liked it but unfortunately after three days from the installation, my phone fell down and the TGSP broke ? I then switched on amFilm and this time I was able to get it on without bubbles so it was the same as the Nillkin.

I was curious about the Whitestone though, so I removed my amFilm TGSP and installed the Whitestone instead. I was concerned because of the glue and eventual hassle like you, but my worries were totally unfounded. So in case your Nillkin will break and you want to try something new, just give Whitestone a chance. I've got mine on since a week now and it's perfect! No hassle, no bubbles, no boarders, it's almost invisible. My phone fell down two more times within the week, but everything's okay so far, so the TGSP is doing his job!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] codercat294:
Well i still have one spare nillkin in case something bad happened, and i couldn't justify the whitestone's $50 price compared to the nillkin which i got for around $10 a piece. But anyway thanks for the recommendation
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] vineetreshmi:
Just installed the Whitestone dome screen protector and man it's great. Installation process is a bit tedious but it's worth the wait. It feels like there is no protector, the glass is that smooth and it fits the cases snugly.

Had installed a local Tempered glass screen protector with black borders and could feel the resistance , but Whitestone takes it to other level.

Never going back to any other protectors.

?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Kiyoshiii:
Hey guys!

I got the Nilkin 3D DS+ MAX and I like it a lot, its so smooth and the corners are not sharp so its fun to use gestures and everything. My only problem is that on one side I have a giant bubble which I dont get out. Does anyone have any tips?

Should I try to lift it and attach it new? I'm sacred to get dust in or it not sticking good anymore.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] gfreek:
Well guys after registering warranty with Whitestone on their website, and then putting in a warranty replacement claim, they offered a free replacement screen however the cheeky buggers want me to pay shipping fee of $9.99 which is ridiculous because I can get 3rd party UV glass from Amazon for about the same price if not cheaper okay it may not be the same quality but it will do the job nonetheless.

Never again I'm I getting Whitestone they are overrated for the money they charge granted the installation is easy with the Install tray but no way are they value for money! IMHO for the money they charge they should at least provide 2 screens!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] psp888:
what I've been saying all along, could get 10 uv screen protectors for the price of one Whitestone!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Batfink33:
If only there was some Chinese manufacturers that sold the jig. Whitestone are ridiculously overpriced.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] jmvolfan:
I am curious do you think the Whitestone application tray would work with the the other kits sold for around $10 on AliExpress? My Whitestone broke and I really don't want to spend $40 or $50 on buying another.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Batfink33:
Yes, absolutely.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SpasilliumNexus:
I posted about this some time ago in this thread. Not all of them. I tried the same with a Foluu glass from Amazon, only to find out it was larger than the Whitestone and didn't fit the tray.

Simply put, if the random brand glass doesn't leave a gap around the display like Whitestone's, it won't work.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Batfink33:
Interesting. I've only had one type,didbt realise there was differing UV glue glass sizes. Edit ah OK, yes different random glass sizes. I've only had one type of UV glue glass size.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] abezzilla99:
Hi, have you recieved your set yet? Been looking into getting both the front and back protectors and going without a case. How's the install process and is it more or less slippery than before? Does the protector feel like it will be decent enough at drop protection?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] don1960:
hi! i have amfilm installed on mine i know that amfilm and nillkin is identical so heres what i did on mine.when i installed my amfilm the whole right side wont adhere just likes yours no matter how hard i push its still dont so i carefully lift it up and realign again probably many times until it sets perfectly and all sides adhered.i think it has to set perfectly because of the sides curved edges.the included tray is useless.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
Which 10 do you recommend ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] codercat294:
What i do is take the rubber squeegee, start working from the top or bottom edge of the screen and push towards the corner then onto the long edge continuously. Try to push the bubbles toward the center of the screen, they become smaller and disappear after pushing some distance. If the bubbles reappear keep trying by pushing the bubbles in all directions, u never know what makes it work. Don't be afraid to apply pressure on the bubbles, and if u see some bubble turning smaller from ur repeated pressing then continue on, they will stick and won't lift again after some time. Just keep trying and it will stick hopefully.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] velvethammer:
Amfilm is legit. You need patience and time. Just spent nearly 75 min getting air bubbles out. Started with about 20ish tinny bubbles and now have ZERO. Press hard with squeegee like harder than you think

Didnt even have to redo fingerprint. This glass actually seems better responding than stock protector.

I went ahead and instantly ordered a back up.

9/10 for value, and works. 5/10 if you don't wanna spend time on bubbles.

Get it
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] nikc0069:
I found with the amfilm you need to push the bubbles where they want to go and eventually they'll join up and leave, or get smaller and vanish.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] eltarod:
I see you mostly talk about TGSP and not films. I am interested in buying a good film for the phone. Like the original one that is applied with the phone or even a better one if available. Does anyone have experience in the film department? Got anything to suggest?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] derausgewanderte:
For me it is the OTAO film that worked the best so far. Easy installation and feels really great.

I've had one of these installed since day 1. It works very well.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] eltarod:
Can't find neither of those in a normal price for shipping to Greece.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] djsubterrain:
Well, finally got my Whitestone applied. Very pleased with the results although I was having to dab away bits of dust all the way through so, if you get one, keep those dust stickers handy if your environment is like mine.

Anyone else who applied it, does the protector seem to be lower down than you thought it would be? Mine is, there's more of a gap at the top than the bottom, in fact the protector starts slightly under where the display area starts. I did push it down against the ridges on the bottom of the cradle as a guide, I presume that's what the 2 bumps are there for? I put on my Nylon case on after waiting a while, though, and there doesn't seem to be contact.

Still nervous about putting third party protectors on though, I think I'll leave it a few days before trying.

One annoying thing I found was; the instructions tell you to apply UV for 15 seconds, bottom and top first, then remove the phone from the cradle, wipe off excess LOCA with the alcohol wipe, then apply UV again, for 60 seconds, twice for the bottom and twice for the top. My UV kit didn't actually light up for 60 seconds, even after resetting the button, it lasts just longer than 50 seconds so I turned it back on and went over the timer a little (Used the timer app in Windows 10 to time it exactly as instructed, that timer allows you to enter multiple timer values simultaneously, so one timer for 15 seconds and the other for 60 seconds).

If you want photos I'll take some but it would be using my previous OP5 :)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] borijess:
The top of the glass should not be under the visible display. My Whitestone Dome is slightly above and covers a bit of the black border on top.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] djsubterrain:
Yeah, I thought so, when you applied it, did you push the protector down to touch the 2 bumps at the bottom? I have a feeling my cradle wasn't fully together properly. Just tried it with the Poetic Affinity just now though and there's a VERY small gap at the bottom but, thankfully, there seems to be no contact so, hopefully, I should be good.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] jmvolfan:
Has anyone used this screen protector? https://coveroncase.com/shop/oneplu...en-protector-premium-uv-nano-9h-liquid-glass/

One of the keys to easy screen protector installation is humidity to keep the dust down. I use the bathroom and the shower set to it's hottest. After 3-5 minutes turn shower off and install.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] 3ncrypt3d_Droid:
Exactly what I do and never had any dust issues.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guero.:
Am Film has bubbles, getting a replacement sent. Seems like the adhesive isn't strong enough.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] .vermilion:
For me the protector starts over the display area, so everything's fine. And I didn't push the ridges at the bottom.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] insomnia77:
Why would you guys deal with this stuff. I would freak if glue got into the grill. I got rinke dual film screen protector 10 bucks for 2 and its nice. One day when there is good tempered glass without glue I will jump ship.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
I mean most come with tape you can use to put over the speaker grill to prevent glue from getting into it.

For me it's about the way the screen feels, I'm not a big fan of the feel of plastic or gel screen protectors, and even if they say they're self healing they get a ton of scratches very quickly for me.

Also there are good full glue screen protectors that don't have uv, such as the amfilm and the nilkin, however these have black borders that ever so slightly cover parts of the statusbar and navbar, so if that's something that won't bother you it's a good option, if not you'll just have to deal with uv or a weird feeling screen.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Mike02z:
Because some of us our OCD:)

For me, I despise glass protectors that only have glue around the edges. They never stick right, have horrible rainbow effect and click and pop when pressing. I also notice touch sensitivity is worse.

If you take your time, this whole process takes about 20 minutes for a novice. I can do one in 10 minutes. I've probably put on at least 20 for friends and family.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] akxak:
Anybody found a screen protector with privacy function (shielding people viewing on the phone from the side) AND working with the fingerprint sensor?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] anhtin:
Anyone has experience with taking off the Whitestone Loca screen protector? Would it damage the screen? Especially the coating?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
It won't damage the screen, not sure about the coating it might take it off, but I put on a screen protector right after so not sure.

Edit: also I just installed a cheapo Chinese uv protector today and the oleophobic coating is probably the best I've used since the whitestone. If you've got a month to way check it out.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.ca/ulk/itm/133073582643
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
For those of you who have used the Mocolo UV TGSP. How is it still performing ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SpasilliumNexus:
No it won't damage the display, at all. The adhesive sticks to the protector when removing it, and none of it is left on the display. You can even rub off the adhesive on the protector, clean it, and apply it again with a new coating, if you're careful. Not sure about other brands.

That's good to hear!! I just ordered a Whitestone screen protector on Amazon during Prime Day, 10 dollars off. Will see
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Dew Me:
$10 off...but it's been 20% off with automatic coupon since aunounced.

So same price, good deal, and congrats. I just laughed yesterday when I noticed that Amazon was being sneaky.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guero.:
Got my replacement amfilm in, waiting on some loca 2500 in the mail... Let's see what happens. ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] djsubterrain:
A film protector will only allow you minimal protection against knocks and scratches, a tempered glass protector gives a lot more protection.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guero.:
So you can use Loca 2500 on the amfilm protector. No bubbles, finally! Hopefully it lasts.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] cjrivera04:
Let us know how that goes. Maybe some pics too!?!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] tekkneke:
Yep, I've now had my Whitestone Dome installed for a few weeks and it really is seamless and invisible. Doesn't bother the fingerprint reader one bit, fit is perfect, and with a case you can't really tell it's there.

It has held up decently to scratches, although I do have a couple hairline scratches visible only in direct sunlight. Will probably replace it a couple times a year, which isn't cheap, but to keep this gorgeous screen looking brand new it seems worth it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] anhtin:
Got my Whitestone in today. Looks pretty nice. Will see how good it is with cracks. My amfilm cracked right after just a pocket height drop.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] tekkneke:
I've dropped mine in a case indoors from about lap height multiple times with no scratches, and one pocket height, again indoors, and there is no evidence of it that I am aware of.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
Just got my second amfilm in too, tryed the normal install and I can not get it to stick to the edge, I've got an extra bottle of loca sitting around and thought this idea would be fun to try, I'll post pics in like 20 mins

Edit: okay ya loonatics it's time for the big reveal, so first I have to say if you plan on doing this ill give you a bunch of advice.

My first piece: don't, unless you're dumb like me.

Okay now onto the actual what to do and the results.

First get yourself some 91% rubbing alcohol.

So first, the amfilm protector has the adhesive held on by a plastic layer, which is attached to the actual screen protector by the strongest clear glue known to man.

DO NOT PUT LOCA ON THAT PLASTIC. If you put loca on that plastic it melts, right into your screen (yay). So what you need to do is peel that plastic layer off. This screen protector is actually very thin, and very flexible. I actually put quite a bit of force into the protector and it did not break, which makes me think it might be a hard plastic.

After you get the plastic that holds the poop adhesive off, don't bother trying to rub all the rubber adhesive off with your fingers, just put ipa on that and rub till all of it comes off. No big deal.

Now when I installed it every once in a while when I do a loca protector I get a bubble in my screen, because of this my final product has some very small bubbles that don't really bother me, and overall I'm actually pretty happy. This thing is the thinnest glass (maybe) protector I've ever used. Doesn't even feel like or look like there's a protector on it. When I did it my bottom is about perfectly flush, so the top covers my entire battery bar, which I'm a little bit bummed about but I guess I can deal.

So again, dont.

But if you want to, show me how you did ?.

And sorry for the pics when I get them posted my only other phone is a literal potato.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
Can't attach photos to an edited post I guess. Here ya go.

I will never do this again, but if I do I'll make sure it's a bit higher.

Edit: one last thing before I sleep. Amfilms customer service is too notch. If you don't want to deal with loca and think maybe you can get it to stick, I do recommend trying. They sent me my first replacement without questions, and e-mailed them after 2 hours trying. They gave me a refund and I didn't even ask for it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Tiz92:
I have also the amfilm and after 20 min of hasseling around I got it perfectly on the screen. Its not easy no but once its on its really a good protector. Even the feel of the glass is like normal gorilla glass and it doesnt attract a lot of finger prints. The only issue is that the fingerprint reader need a extra 200-300 ms to work but thats no big issue for me personally.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] -fluffy-:
i have this one one

an belive it's not an easy task

but after 10min i got it on perfect
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guero.:
Put it on last night! I didn't remove the adhesive that came on it and nothing melted, yet? It did take a LONG time to get one corner settled. The adhesive that came on it stuck to that corner and interfered with the Loca expansion, I had to fiddle with it for like an hour but finally got it. I had to cure it with a uv lamp a lot longer than what I've seen in videos. Like the other guy I would not suggest it with a full adhesive glass! But would work fine on one with glue just around the edge. Got the Loca for $5 on eBay. Leave a small amount in the dispenser in case you need to fill a bubble at the end. I got it to work but I think I got a little lucky the adhesive that came on it didn't cause more problems. I'll try to get pictures this weekend.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guero.:
I lied, here are some pictures. This is the AmFilm tempered glass with tp2500 Loca used to get it to stick correctly. It's in a Poetic Guardian case that's had the plastic screen protector removed. Next up is seeing if a 20 pin magnetic charge adapter will work with warp. :silly:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
Looks good, when I tried with the adhesive the bottom stuck and caused a bunch of bubbles and the top never stuck all the way down, it looked normal until I went to remove it and big plastic chunks stuck to the screen. They came off no problem with ipa tho so since yours looks good I wouldn't worry about it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guero.:
Yeah it tried forming a bubble at the top where the adhesive that came with the amfilm stuck. I had to slightly lift that corner and let the loca expand in. It took forever... Also the Loca got everywhere, but I had taped over the speaker, buttons, and mic. A baby wipe cleaned it up nicely before curing. Still wouldn't suggest it unless you're thick headed like me.
