Oh, so the Whitestone is coming? I sure hope so & is what I used on my last two devices. Last night I went to apply the ultimate shield and everything looked good except a little spot and ended up not being able to successfully apply it. I'm gonna try again after work.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Whitestone did confirm it in some Facebook comments

I just installed the Nillkin 3D DS+ MAX. By far the best out there right now. Full adhesive. Nillkin's glass has always been top notch. Only issue is thin black boarders that cut off a sliver of screen. I'll happily live with that considering everything else is perfect
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Samuel Holland:
Hi thanks for sharing the info. This is the latest screen protector that I applied with more than satisfactory results, & highly recommended. This would be hard to beat in my opinion, although about the only thing I could say could be better or might not be as good, is that it's not as thick as some others. Besides this, it is just about perfect in my opinion. The coating so far has been really nice and way better than I expected. I'm so glad I found this after using a couple stick ons. You only get one glue though so watch a video if it's your first time.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
I bought one or two of these with different brand names and decided not to apply solely for the fact it didn't have the little bumps that hold it at the correct height off the screen and not knowing the quality of the glue.

Really wish the Nillkin didn't have a boarder. I wouldn't even replace it with a WD
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Peruskauraa:
My experience with Nilkin Ds+ Max was not so good, installation went well and was able to get all bubbles out. All changed when i put offical sandstone case on, for some reason it got lot of bubbles from both of the bottom corners, so i guess the case lift up glass for a pit? No problems with offical silicone case though.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Sounds like the screen protector is too big to work with that case. Even the case comes into contact with a glad protector it puts pressure on it which makes it lift
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Peruskauraa:
What case you use?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
UAG
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
and still no new options
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] a13xemz:
Just installed this : (AsBellt Screen Protector)

It is a UV Glue glass install, the process is pretty good compared to other cheap UV glue screen protectors. It includes 2 red brackets with adhesive to place at top and bottom of phone which are guides to where you place the glass down and a tab to gently drop. For the buttons they include foam stickers to place around the buttons, slider, and front grill should you some glue spill. (It didn't for me) Also some foam stickers for the bottom to make our phone sit flat.

Glue cured and looks pretty good to me. Note: the Amazon listing shows a hole for the camera but mine did not.

Glass is slightly thick so if you are going to go caseless there is a noticeable edge. I have sandstone case and it fits flush, that does mean you loose the tiny amount of protection you had.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
is your front facing camera quality affected?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] a13xemz:
Yes, it is. I think that the glue combined with light from my desk lamp makes front selfies look slightly fuzzy, and lighter.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
yeah that's a no go lol, man this is getting desperate.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] avivasaf:
Is there any temprered glass with a hole to selfie camera??? Why we need to suffer from selfie photos bad quality or not to use a temprered glass?!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Batfink33:
I've got that installed too and it seems to have went on well. Yes, the selphie cam is affected but I never use it so it doesn't bother me.

No.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] bacon612:
I just put on my Nilkin Ds+ Max on today and also use the silicone case that came with the phone. Have you noticed any touch sensitivity issues? My screen 'feels' different now. Like there's a lag typing. It less responsive.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Batfink33:
Is there only glue around the edges? If so then yes there will be lag because there's a small gap between the protector and the screen and this will cause the screen to be less responsive. Unless there's full screen glue between the glass and the screen then don't buy any glass protector.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Peruskauraa:
Yes, sometimes it feels like the screen is not as responsive as it used to be, but nothing major i couldn't live with. Also fingerprint scanner doesn't work like before, even with new fingerprints.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

No this protector is full adhesive. It was pain to get all the bubbles out,ugh.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Nope, full adhesive

I've got the same one and have absolutely no lag or decrease in sensitivity. It was actually a god send compared to the other protectors out there I've tried. Typical amazing Nillkin glass feel. Only downfall is the black boarders. It'll be perfect until a Whitestone is released though
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] bacon612:
My gesture based 'swipe up' for home is about half as reliable with this Nilkin glass and typing is pretty bad too. It's like it doesn't register as accurately as it did before. I've never experienced this with glass screen protectors. I agree that this seems like the best solution for the time being but it's bothering me.

What's the latest news on this Whitestone? Is there even a product link?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
My swipe up has been a little wonky, but I attributed that to the lip on my case. Guess it could be the border interfering. I've had no issues at all typing

Whitestone confirmed it to myself and a few other people on their Facebook page, but no idea when it's coming
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pappschlumpf:
Like for OP7 Pro i ordered the Nillkin from China again. Well feels ultra smooth and after 15 minutes bubble massage it sticks perfect. You just need to be patient. There are a lot of bubbles first and left an right don't stick. No problem it all goes away. I use it on the 7 Pro since a year and it feels and looks like new. Nillkin glass and finish are definitely one of the best around! Only the few pixels the black borders cut off around the display are a disadvantage. Personally i have no problem with this fact. Nillkin definitely has my recommendation. Only people without patience and with two left hands should not buy it!

P.S. Kernel soon ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Zayatoshi:
Hello.

I struggled with my oneplus 8 pro and the tempered glass. The curved angles make that no ordinary tempered glass allows to have a good sensitivity with the curved edges. You have to use mittens to press these areas there. I stopped with the UV tempered glasses because glue slipped into the top speaker. And my oneplus 8 pro is in Poland for repair. Out of warranty of course.

So I saw the Belkin DS tempered glass .. I bought the latter and I will receive it soon.

Can you tell me please if the sensitivity around the curved angles is the same as compared to the original screen.

Thank you in advance..

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pappschlumpf:
The Nillkin DS+ Max is full adhesive. The reason why there are bubbles to massage out. No sensitivity or fingerprint issues. An installation frame, a tool to squeeze out bubbles and cleaning wipes are in the retail package.

dont like black borders and even Nilkin will start to peel off edges over time.

I never had that with Whitestone before so still waiting
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] berdo:
Anyone try this one from Tamoria?

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B087LY4BFZ/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_K4s-Eb5KDXY3S

Seems to be similar to Whitestone but half the cost. Not a lot of reviews but they are mostly positive. Are they real? Who knows...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
Just ordered it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] berdo:
I am intrigued to know how it goes. I looked at the reviews for the s20 version and it seems very hit or miss. I have to say, the lack of screen protector options is sort of shocking. I have the best success with Skinomi and they don't have one or plans currently to add one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
kinda disappointed there's no cutout for the FFC
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] NUNsLAUGHTER92:
I bought a Nillkin glass screen protector and it did not fit correctly. Looks like it might have been defective because the sides would not go onto the screen correctly and I couldn't use my finger print scanner.

I emailed them and they told me my screen wasn't cleaned properly and to do it again. Doing it again wouldn't have done anything because it was pretty warped after sitting on my phone for 3 days. I applied it with that little case thing they give so I'm sure I put it on perfectly. If it really needed to be perfectly clean then I don't see it working out for most people.

So far a curved screen is a real pain.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] avivasaf:
That was my results too, its garbage screen protector, dont listen to any fake reviews, its expensive and dont worth a cent
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] LiquidHonesty:
Anyone have an updated timeframe from Whitestone???
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Mine was like that when I first put it on. Needed to work out the bubbles for about 20 minutes and it stuck perfectly

Same response as above. This is the best screen protector out there right now that I've tried out of about 15. Great glass and great coating.

I'll get a picture when I get to work today to prove it, but you really need to just keep working the bubbles out
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Samuel Holland:
Hi, I messed my first application up with the screen linked. It came off like a dream, & the glue stuck to the tempered glass. I have another ultimate shield which is thicker with the dots, but the one linked has been absolutely perfect including the coating/ fingerprints. I can vouch for it coming from xl2 & xl3 using Whitestone exclusively.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
I'm sorry, could you give me another link?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] jpde:
I'm a bit late to the party.. are there any decent options on aliexpress out there? There seems to be lots of differents brands that offer the exact same product.. I don't mind paying a few bucks extra to get a decent product but it's ridiculously difficult to find I'm afraid. Alternatively, stuff from German vendors would be fine, too, but even amazon doesn't really offer any great options as far as I can tell.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] avivasaf:
Tried lots of tempered glasses includes Nillkin garbge

Most of them ok for fingerprint and touch but the main issue is front camera!!! Flash at nights make hallo effect, sharpness in day light little bit less, because all of them dont have a hole in the camera, really strange thing
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Nillkin from AliExpress. Pictures below

Here you go. Not a single bubble and works perfectly
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] avivasaf:
Camera with flash photos?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] bacon612:
I'll second this. I hate my phone with it on and It's been a few days. I dropped my first OP8 pro and broke the screen so I need some kind of protection but this isn't it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Samuel Holland:
Hi, yes, it's no problem; here is the link of the one currently on my phone & on Amazon. What's nice is it can be delivered quickly and in my opinion is really nice. It's a UV glue type and is a little thinner than the next link I post of the ultimate shield. The ultimate shield is a nice one with really nice customer service. It's shipped from UK. I hope this might can help.

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

By the way, anyone wanting to know, the above two links are nice products with zero issues once applied correctly. Watching a video is highly recommended if it's a first for applying UV glued type tempered glass. The key in my opinion is make sure the screen is clean, then when pouring the glue on the screen you want it to be all in one puddle with no bubbles if possible, you can put a sticker over your charging port & speaker before starting to keep the glue out. Then tilt the phone to where the pool if glue is in the middle of the screen, line your glass up and gently set down ,(you don't want to splash) once you see the glass touch the glue, you will know to set it all the way down and let it spread evenly. Make sure it's lined up like you want and after the glue has spread, use the UV light to complete. Congrats
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
No difference that I can tell
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] jomansch:
I've had the same problem with Nillkin, didn't stick to the screen on one side, and they told me I didn't clean thoroughly, so my fault, we're sorry. I even trie to turn the protecctor by 180 degrees, of course only to find it not sticking to the other side. I did this only quickly, this time leaving several bubbles, and they told me once again I didn't clean properly. Took me some unfriendly mails to make the swiss/austrian reseller send me a refund, now I'm back to ultimate shield...a little pain to mount with the superfluid glue to keep it off the top speaker with the provided sticker...but now everythinx fine :good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
How am I the only one here that got this to stick perfectly? Lo
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] avivasaf:
Maby its not Nillkin... ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
I will also say that mine basically looked like that last picture when I put it on. I thought I was going to have to pull it and toss it. But I kept working the bubbles out and it slowly laid down
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Shiki~:
I'm not a fan of Nillkin, especially on a recent phone.

I remember when I bought one for my OP7, it was basically one for the OP6T rebranded. (It was too small)

And I was unhappy that they issued an improved version (more like a real one) a few weeks later.

This one was good though, and since I complained I got a discount
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
so i got 3 screen protectors with the UV liquid glue, PROBLEM IS, there's no hole for the front facing camera? what is this nonsense?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
So I installed one. With the glue and uv light and stickers. Got it on pretty well. Sensitivity is good. Front facing camera wasn't affected either
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] jpde:
Which one did you get/where did you get it?

Dont buy Nilkin, poor CS!!!

Glad i also ordered whitestone
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Zayatoshi:
nilkin 3d ds is just perfect. very good top fingerprint feeling. and good feeling on the curved edges. already pre-applied glue. no need for UV tempered glass with the risk of it going into the speakers etc ... or putting 45 euros in the glass dome. nillkins is 13 euros on Aliexpress. I received mine in 10 days ..

Envoyé de mon IN2023 en utilisant Tapatalk
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Mtha86:
Maybe Nilkin glass is good.

but CS is horrible. Paid extra for fast delivery (it was not cheap) becuase i have no protection at the moment.

After i orderd it last weekend, i got a Mail this morning from DHL that says "shipment information recieved"...

Why did i pay that much if it takes days to get this message? Contacted them, they only come up with excuses instead of refunding me the money of the fast delivery.

Maybe i will send it back just beacuse their service is bad. Dont want to give that company my money.

Furtermore, if you just pay a little attention and cover speakers , there is no risk that the glue goes into speakers. Its only 10 Euros more (got 20 % on whitestone, and nilkin is 24 Euros on official Site). What kind of glass you prefer is always a personal choice. But for me, whitestone is hard to beat, had it on my old phone.

Really dissapointed by nilkin (not talking about the quality of the glass)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Mtha86:
After Nilkin made an email and searching for excuses again, i wrote them back. Claimed once more that they shoud not ask that much money for for fast delivery if it takes that long.

I also asked if it is still possible to rerurn it. If so, i would think about it, and maybe go for concurrence.

Today i got a mail that my order was cancelled (at first this was not possible) and got refund. Without me telling to do it. Furthermore i'm blocked for future orders.. i never told them to cancel, just asked f it is possible and that i may do it. i habe never been rude in my mails. Being now blocked by them is a big joke. Even if i would not even consider buying sth form Nilkin anymore

Nilkin CS is a joke, and this step confirms it!

Avoid this brand!! what a bad company, i bet i only get refund for glass, not for shipping costs.. let's see

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------

In fact, when i think about it, i got what i wanted from the first time i contacted them. But at that point getting refund was not possible... So i'm fine with it now.

Did some of you have any experience with custom cut zagg invisible shields'?

They're now available where I live for about $30 with a "lifetime warranty"
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Haven't touched anything from them since Nexus S days
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Shiki~:
Was it such a bad experience?

On the OnePlus' forum, 2 users said it was great for the OnePlus 8pro.

But I feel like it's just a film, would it really prevent a screen from breaking?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
In my opinion yes. I'm sure they're better than they were, but if I'm going to go with a film there are better and cheaper options.

If you drop your phone on a corner it doesn't matter what you have on the screen, it's still going to break. I only look at screen protectors as a way to keep the screen from scratching.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] byAidan:
For anyone in the UK, I have purchased this UV glass screen protector from eBay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202891282364

Very cheap, went on straight away with no bubbles at all and the curved edges are glued down nicely too. Shipping only took a few days.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] masri1987:
Me too
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Mtha86:
This is a mail i got from whitestone:

Unfortunately, our manufacturer is experiencing issues with the glass production and have only have enough in stock to send out to the first 50 customers.

Guess i will have to wait a little bit more.. ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] lierrmm:
I ordered mine on the 14th July but the only email I have received is "Your order is confirmed" :confused:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Shiki~:
Since I had the possibility to have a custom cut zagg film thingy for a very cheap price, I decided to test it anyway.

It's FAR from perfect:

- In order not to cover front cam, they put nothing on the right corner ! So if the phone drop on this corner, RIP. (The person responsible told me that it's what Zagg propose for this model, they can't do anything about that for now)

- It's definitely not a tempered glass screen protection.

But, there are some good points:

- It feels smooth

- It looks gorgeous, extra clear

- way better than stock cover

- touch sensitivity is top notch, and fingerprint sensor works perfectly...

- definitely more solid than any regular film I tried

Obviously, for marketing reason, they say that it's even more resistant (scratch and impact) than tempered glass. And that it's self healing.

I'll add a magnetic case with tempered screen on both sides when I don't feel confident (like when putting in on y car mount)

Better be safe than sorry
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
No screen protector is going to protect your phone if you drop it on the corner
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Shiki~:
I probably expressed myself incorrectly. And any way, I use a sandstone case like some of you.

But this screen protector lacks any kind of protection on the edge of the screen all around front camera.

It's not like most tempered screen I tested on this phone or any other. Most of those either covered the punch hole, or went around.

But this one has nothing starting from the top left of the screen. There's a gap on this side, not even counting the punch hole.

So even with a sandstone case, and disregarding the punch hole, I feel like it's kinda unsafe on this side
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] achapman91:
Thanks all for the recommendations! I decided to snag a whitestone. This will be my very first. Hoping it'll fit nicely with my spigen tough shield case! This community rocks as always! :cool:
