Well it just layed there over night, waked up, cracked. The samed happened with the 100% identical amFilm. Both perfect aligned bubble free installs.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] .vermilion:
Short question, I guess here are some people who actually know a lot more than me ?

Is there any difference between the Whitestone and amFilm besides the installation and the black boarders? I mean: Is the glue different, is it "more" adhesive (don't know how to express myself exactly), is the glass different?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] mattboxer:
I had to get a replacement OP7 Pro the other day, and I needed to quickly get a UV screen protector because the stock one was applied awfully with dust under it, I got this one which I think was posted on here before (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RVF2NBT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and its a really nice protector, and I manged to line it up perfectly, however I think I set the glue for too long on the top half of the screen because it looks grainy compared to the bottom half :( it's a shame as it was more expensive than the ones from aliexpress which I had on my original phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] adrman:
I've got to compliment the LK Film protector (and 1+ Carbon case). My phone took a nasty drop this am. Few it off my hands as I was getting in a taxi with a suitcase, did a few songs in the air and hot the pavement. The front, left corner of the case must have taken most of the impact, but the screen is still perfect.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Mike02z:
Yes. You not only need a flat surface but it must be a LEVEL surface. If not, the glue will run easily.

I also suggest doing the install in a humid area. I run the shower hot in the BR for a few minutes with the door closed. The humidity keeps dust down. Take your time. Make sure you clearly understand each step.

If you mess up you can remove them clean the back of protector and clean the phone and start again BEFORE you cure the glue. Once the glue is cured, you'll have to replace.

I also don't protect the earpiece area. Unless you cover it with no overlap. I cure the bottom first then remove any access glue before curing the rest.

The above is for Domeglass. I've tried other protectors with loca type glue and they were all junk to me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] crzycrkr:
Interesting. Mine cracked from the top right corner to the middle bottom while in pocket the other day. Absolutely no impact at all
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] pappschlumpf:
Yeah, seems to have issues. The amFilm cracked too over night. Maybe a temperature issue.

Im using that one (non glass). Wet easy installation and it seems to work fine. For 6€ it is very good.

Oneplus 7 Pro Tempered Glass... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RRVMX2Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Just installed this one. I'd give it a 9/10, wish it had a tray to alignment cause it ended up a few mm lower than perfect but still covering the display. Also there seemed to be too much glue cause the **** went everywhere out the sides

Whitestone Dome case compatibility?

Can anyone, who has applied the Whitedome, confirm which cases they've tried with it and how compatible each is?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
For those interested in the Alinsea UV TGSP:

https://www.amazon.de/Alinsea-Schut...M/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref

and have a Amazon UK account, it will be available within the next few weeks according to their support.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] jmvolfan:
I had the Whitestone dome installed for all of 6 days before it cracked from my phone tipping over while watching Netflix. I even have a case with a front lip so I don't know what happened to make it crack so easily. Can anyone recommend a another good glass protector with or without full adhesion. Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] djsubterrain:
I'm currently using the amFilm protector, it's been very good tbh. It does have a black border but it's not too intrusive:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07R7WJCD3

It's not a LOCA protector tho but it has been very case friendly, not had an issue with any of my cases (which I've bought too many of already). Comes with a tray for application and a decent squeegee thingy, I did have bubbles at the edge but they'd gone by themselves the next day.

Not sure where you are on the planet cos there's no location in your bio info but I think it's pretty much available all over, try your local Amazon with the same ASIN number.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] .vermilion:
So I was very brave today and installed the Whitestone for the first time!

I took off my perfectly installed amFilm and gave it a try.

I followed the instructions precisely and watched dozens of videos, so It turns out perfectly, I'm so proud. Love the lack of the black boarders right away! The fingerprint recognition works awesome!

I like most that the edges are plane to the display, the amFilm and all the others I tried are a bit "lifted" (but they stick, so it's just a cosmetic problem).

But I did a few things different from the manual:

1. After the first curing process (exactly 15 seconds for the bottom and the top), I pressed my finger onto the fingerprint area for one minute (as shown in the video for the S10+ on their homepage in the description for the OP7Pro)

1. After the first curing process I wiped the edges of the phone very very accurate, so that absolutely no glue sticks out from under the glass.

2. For the UV light I used the wall charger from Oneplus, not my Notebook-USB.

3. In the last step I cured the bottom first for two minutes and then the top for two minutes. After that I repeated.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Dew Me:
I guess they did a real good job of applying my screen protector, because I thought they cheaped out and stopped putting them on. I could tell I had one on my 6T, but not my 7P. (not TM)

Since I thought I didn't have one, I've been doing all sorts of research on screen protectors, and got myself talked into buying one.

Shame, this many pages in and tgere is not a clear cut favorite.

Whitestone has fans, but 50? Damn! On their site they had it on sale for 46 with 20% off, and even 37 seemed higher than I was willing. Especially, with some of the negatives I've read on it. Seems like it would cost them a dollar to add a second protector, and it would totally change my opinion.

I'm also noticing a bunch of companies offering what seams to be the exact same knock-off of Whitestone. LIMLLC, Foluu, Feiting, and Beauty-C. Maybe even Pazlog? Maybe more?

All these companies just seem to be people like you and me that decided to buy a hundred of them from the same place, make up a name, and sell them through Amazon. Meaning if I wanna wait 6 weeks I could buy one for 3 bucks shipped.

(This has been too long...shirt attention spans...continuing with another post...)

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

So what I'm thinking now is, do I even need a screen protector? I totally see their need previous to a couple years ago, but with the progression of GG, dies it still make sense? Does it actually protect the screen? Or is it more about how the screen feels? Or fingerprint prevention?

If I'm happy with the stock screen protector should I just stick with it, or is there a functional reason like protection?

If I do put a screen protector on, do I peel off the stock one first? Or lay it on top of the stock one?

I hate the idea of taking off a perfectly, factory installed, protector.

Also, these things seem to pull off pretty easy? Makes me wonder how much they come off on their own? And if they do come off on their own, then why would I expect it to stay on if I do drop the phone?

Also, has anyone installed both the Whitestone AND these knock-off? If so are they exactly the same size leading you to believe they could be the same piece, from the sane factory? Or does tge Whitestone really have a little more coverage?

Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SpasilliumNexus:
Got my second Whitestone kit in today. Applied it beautifully again no problem.

In addition to the pics with the Spigen Rugged Armor on I posted some time ago, I'm confirming that the Whitestone is also compatible with the Spigen Tough Armor.

Both cases don't touch the Whitestone glass at all.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] JrWriter87:
I'll post some pics later but the Whitestone works great with the Poetic Affinity, Ringke Fusion X and TopAce case. Doesn't touch the edges at all.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Dew Me:
Does that mean you have 2 UV lights/kits from Whitestone? If so is there any chance I could send you a label to mail it to me? (I want to buy the knock-off but Whitestone application tools are so nice)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SpasilliumNexus:
To be honest, I didn't know what to do with the previous kit and was going to put it up somewhere.

Since you asked, you can have it! Just send me a PM.

It'll be sent in an Amazon A1 sized box (dimensions: 10 x 7 x 3.25)

I only have the top and bottom trays, USB cable, UV light, and the black bridge thing the LOCA tube goes into. I threw the rest of the stuff from the old kit out.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Dew Me:
I don't think I have enough posts yet to PM. Typed it all out and couldn't hit send.

So here is the PM...

Sweeeeet...UV light itself was most important as it has twice as many lights as the cheap ones. Everything you don't have will come with the other kit.

Shoot me your email, and I'll send a label

Thanks man, Jeff

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Ricey:
I've had both the cheaper Feiting glass from Amazon, as well as 2 other brands from aliexpress.

The 2 main differences is the Whitestone includes an installation rig that removes most of the possible user error while installing and the second difference is the overall glass quality. The cheap amazon kit was basically the same as the super cheap aliexpress types except the amazon had better packaging. The glass quality (probably oleophobic coating, if they even had one) for them were much lower quality than Whitestone. This was made apparent when you use the alcohol wipes to wipe the glass of dust, dirt, and grime/oil.

The cheap Chinese types had more friction when wiping and the moisture collected in a weird gradient all over the glass which made it look extremely foggy. Trying to wipe away that fog took a few passes and just adds to the amount of work needed to clean the glass. The Whitestone, when wiped with an alcohol wipe to clean, had the moisture bead up together and was extremely clear with no fogging and is much easier to wipe away oil and fingerprints. This made wiping and cleaning the Whitestone in general a lot faster. I suspect the Chinese ones don't have an oleophobic layer or a really bad one so fingerprints and grime show up more and is tougher to remove, affecting the overall clarity of the glass as it's used more.

Are these 2 differences enough to make up for the price difference? That's definitely up to each individual.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] JayFReaZy:
I've had my Whitestone Dome installed for a little over a week now. I'm starting to see a "rainbow" effect on the right side of the screen, as if it was touched with oil/grease. Upon further inspection, it seems like the "spiderweb" effect might be starting to happen. Anyone else experiencing this?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Ricey:
Mine has been on for about 1+ weeks as well. No spiderweb yet, the only time I've had a spiderweb with Whitestone is if I test a case and it turns out it isn't compatible, or when my phone has a nasty drop on a corner and the impact shock loosens the adhesive on that corner a bit or if the case lip hits it. I don't know if it helps but I do cure my Whitestones for about 2-3 minutes for each top/middle/bottom for the final pass instead of the 1 minute stated in the manual, and I try to leave it alone for a 2+ hours before putting any pressure on it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] don1960:
here is my thought on amfilm by techmatte full glue glass screen protector.

the quality is probably the same as any other expensive screen protector just like belkin or zagg etc.when i first installed it the whole right side did not adhere at all no matter what i did so i contacted CS and i claim the warranty and within 2 days the replacement came so i installed it immediately and again the whole right side did not adhere and i got prostrated and so i removed the screen protector and this time i reinstalled it without the guiding frame and to my surprise it did adhere after so many realignment and it looks great.for $11.99 this is really great protector that is probably the best for the oneplus 7 pro curved screen.yes i know about dome glass but i would not even think of buying it because its very expensive.so do i recommend it?the answer is yes but make sure you understand the donwside which is not quaranted bubble free screenprotector and if you got lucky like me after the replacement and realigning a hundred times and got it right then you should.

When installing the UV glue glass. How do you guys clean the speaker grill if you get glue in there? Even after glue has dried.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Dew Me:
From what I've heard you can't.

I'm a guy that doesn't take no for an answer. Where there is a will there is a way.

But everything I hear warns super hard to cover with a sticker cuz ya can't get it out after. Not that it is a pain, but that you can't.

I hope I'm wrong and someone has a better answer for you. I look forward to hearing some good news on the subject. ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
Which case are you using with it ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] tperki:
I did this one too, except from a different seller (Beauty.C). Same pictures, same video. I agree, the glue runs all over and makes a bit of a mess. But the end justifies the means - my protector went on almost perfectly. The fit is excellent, I just have two tiny bubbles (maybe 0.5 mm diameter), almost imperceptible. The glass is really slick and doesn't show finger prints. I'm happy with it so far, but it is only 24 hours old.

Edit: it's three days later, and overall I am happy. But one note: after installation and curing, I put the phone back in the OP pebble case. The case broke the next day, at the top, both sides, where the case snaps onto the phone. It's like the case just disintegrated. I went to buy a new one from Amazon (not a OP which is $19), and noted in the reviews that someone's case broke because it got some of the LOCA on it. Apparently with mine, the LOCA oozed out at the upper corners and didn't get cured (remained liquid) and it interacted with the plastic of the case. Moral of the story, make sure you really clean the LOCA off before putting the phone in a case.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
What non UV install alternatives exist to the amFilm that include an easy install tray, that are as good or better than it ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] codercat294:
U need to get some 99% isopropyl alcohol, dab some on a toothbrush and try to clear it out slowly. Don't expect it to be 100% clean inside, but as long as the speaker volume or sound is back to normal you're fine

EDIT: do note that the top earpiece will always be quieter than the bottom speaker when used as stereo speakers though. That is by design

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] codercat294:
A small tip for those who are getting the nillkin ds+ max:

Because the black borders actually cover the phone's screen a little on the sides and also the top and bottom, I have found out this from personal experience. The installation bracket given has one side labelled with oneplus 7 pro and an arrow pointing outwards. I assume this should be the top side, and applied my tempered glass this way. Turns out the top of the phone is covered quite a bit, and the battery icon in status bar is very close to the border. So I placed the installation bracket on the phone again but this time with the arrow side downwards, and saw that if applied this way the tempered glass will shift up a tiny little bit. I then peeled off the glass and reapplied it, and now the space above my status bar looks a bit bigger and feels more balanced.

TLDR: try applying with the installation bracket's arrow side at bottom of phone
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SpasilliumNexus:

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] evanovici:
Just ordered the whitestone dome straight from their website in US. To me, even if expensive, this is by far the best protector for curved screens and it's not that difficult to apply after the first two screens.

Anyway, saw that is now shows up on amazon uk, good thing I took advantage of that promo they had and got two full kits and free shipping, leading up to 35 euro/piece in the end. Order took precisely 7 days to arrive to Ireland. I'd say 35 euro would be the price OnePlus would have for their own brand protectors, if they manage to launch one sometime this year.

Maybe some of the promo codes online still work if anyone wants to order from them directly.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Ezito:
Can I get the screen protector link?

Thank you for instructions!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Yeah this is a really silly goof imho.

Overall was very happy with the protector, however after two days the complete right side won't stick anymore. Not very noticeable on bright backgrounds but using something dark/black/screen is off you can clearly see the non-sticking part. Shame, really :rolleyes:

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Tiz92:
Installed the amFILM. First like other users I had bubbles on the side but after some alignment it got away and now (fingers crossed) it stay bubble free. Its really good now, it cuts maybe 0.3 mm of the screen which is okay for me. The feel is good, fingerprint works and it protects. For 9€ I cannt really complain.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] gfreek:
I received the Whitestone Dome Screen Protector for OnePlus 7 Pro from Amazon UK.

I was very pleased with the packaging and install process the product was as described. However, after a successful installation, I was left very disappointed to discover two deep vertical scratches on the top left please see attached picture.

Was not expecting this considering its one of the most expensive glass screen protector in the market!:mad:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
Good luck getting ahold of them, tried for like a week because my left edge was completely lifted within a couple hours of installation and they never responded. Tried thru fb and their contact form in the website.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] gfreek:
Thanks for the heads up, I've just done the same thing contacted them via their contact form in the website. I've also emailed Amazon UK lets see if anything comes out of this, quite peed off wasn't expecting this considering you paying £40 for a screen protector!!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
You need to register your product on their website, and then do a claim, I have done this, and they have been very responsive.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
Do you mean registering here:

https://warranty.whitestonedome.com/account/login

Also if you buy the Dome Glass from elsewhere eg Amazon, do you still have to register on the Official Whitestone Dome website ?

Edit:

In order to make a complain with Whitestone Dome Support about the product ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
Yes, and Yes
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] gfreek:
I just tried to register on their website for some reason I'm unable to sign up cannot get passed the password setup??
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
This is if you wanna pay $10 for a replacement. They have a contact us email form on their website and a Facebook chat not that says they'll reach back out to you.

If you buy the protector directly from them it's already registered in their system, if you buy it anywhere else you have to register it.

Personally after my experience my $40 going to 10 cheapo eBay protectors is going way further because they actually email you back in a day, even if it is in broken english.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
I'm going to ask a stupid question now having never lodged a complaint with regards to a product before.

If you buy the Dome Glass from Amazon, isn't its Amazon's responsibility to sort out the problem if there is one ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
It depends, if it is a 3rd party seller, they will tell you to try and work it out with them, if nothing comes of it, they will eventually refund/replace. If it sold by Amazon, then yes.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] SlyUK:
So registering on the official Whitestone Dome Website is irrelevant...correct ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Ezito:
How is it holding so far?

Should I really get it? What is the difference between 3D and 9D?
