Whitestone is to expensive, to be honest. Lifetime warranty, where you have to pay for sending the replacement, no sorry. Not if you live in Germany for example. I cancelled my order yesterday.

Anyway i wanted to try an UV one too, ordered Ultimate Shield first, well zero mounting tools, super bad stickers for the speaker, etc. Both tries ended up with a bubble. Bad smelling glue everywhere. A bad experience. Never again. But customer service is good, refund without issues.

The Feitenn i ordered too i haven't even tried. Bad stickers again, no frame or whatever to mount it precisely. Very important with cases like UAG, Spigen... UV glue, no mounting tools, a no go, i'll never order such crap again.

Well the third i ordered sits on the OP8 Pro perfect now. AsBellt ordered on Amazon Germany. All stickers from 3M! Even the one for the speaker was already sized perfect and sticked until the job was done. Special cutted stickers for the buttons are inside too. Well and a top and bottom frame to precisely place the glass, plus a Whitestone like top holder to hold the glass up until you remove it to drop the glass are there too. Cleaning stuff and gloves are in the package too. Price, small 14.89€.

Plus, the glass feels very smooth. Great coating.

There's a video on YouTube where you can check if you like the way how this one works. Just search AsBellt.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Nekromantik:
have to disagree

the price you pay is for the ease of install

first time I ever put one on I got it 100% right. I am normally very bad at putting screen protectors on and takes me 2-3 tries on non UV ones but it just went on. I tried cheaper one from china on 7 pro and it lifted off after 2 months. My whitestone still attached 2 years later being in case too
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pappschlumpf:
Well isn't much easier than install that AsBellt protector. Same concept, but ok, the Whitestone has more complex equipment around. Anyway it was super easy to install that one. I doubt it is easier to install the Whitestone. If that's worth 35€ more (normal price) you need to decide yourself for sure.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pyry666:
Its not that hard to install uv protectot with out that tray. I am not gonna pay 10x amount for installation tray..Just my 2 cents
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pappschlumpf:
Well me too, that's the reason why i cancelled the Whitestone order. The stuff AsBellt delivers to install it is absolutely fine to install it properly. Without any mounting tools, hmm, well not good for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Batfink33:
I agree about the ASBellt UV protector. Very good, it's the first UV glass protector that hasn't spiderwebbed at the sides (haven't tried Whitestone). The installation rig was fine and for £10 it's really great.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] tyl3rmax:
Anyone know of any decent privacy screen protectors? The ones I see on Amazon don't have great reviews
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] CrazyKat8091:
Same here, I used Nillkin 3D DS+ Max since OnePlus 7 Pro now on OnePlus 8 Pro never had an issue easy to install and fit perfectly. Only one downside is I have to wait almost 2 months from AliExpress to US.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Akiise:
Ordered my whitestonedome July 14th. Still have only received order confirmation. Sent them a question about how long its gonna take.. no response yet. Anyone else?

Ordered Whitestone July 19. Delivered July 31. Fitment is perfect

hello pappschlumpf, do you have a link please ? i dont' found this asbellt protection

Thx

Amazon Germany.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] AnoIDE:
Thank you I found it but I was not sure this is the product you were talking about compared to the amazon product description
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pappschlumpf:
Yes, they don't mention it is uv glued.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] DzunjaBien:
Me too! I am currently living in Singapore. I ordered two last July 14, 2020. Up until now I am still waiting for confirmation. Tsk.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] dberthia:
As suggested by somebody else, I bought the AsBelt protector for $13.99 at Amazon:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B087LSGM5P

I approached this with a healthy dose of skepticism, but I can tell you it went on perfectly the first time, and IMO is a much better bang for your buck than Whitestone (which I had on my previous phone). It looks/works great and has no issues with my Ringke Fusion X case.

I HIGHLY suggest watching the instructional video prior to starting:

Got a reply now. (From whitestonedome)

"Unfortunately, our manufacturer is currently experiencing issues regarding production of the OnePlus Pro 8. Therefore, there will be delays in shipments"

Guess ill just have to wait

Fingerprint Reader and Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I got a tempered glass screen protector and overall, it works well, except for the on-screen fingerprint reader. Anyone else notice the finger print reader doesn't work well with a tempered glass screen protector? Forgive me if this is discussed elsewhere. My cursory search of topics did not yield results for this specific discussion.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Akiise:
Never had a problem myself. Did you try to re-register your fingerprint after putting it on?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Mike02z:
Yes, I have this setup. No issues.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] GetDiz:
Does anybody know if is it possible to get the Whitestone Dome for the 1+8P from another source rather than them oem site? (Amazon doesn't have them yet)

I don't have PayPal and it seems it's the only option available for payment.

P.S- can't use PayPal. Any other option will be more than welcome.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] psychotropic:
I did and it still gives me a fit. I may order a new one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pgrey2:
I'm a bit late to the party here, but I went through the same thing, TWO Nillkin DS+ protectors, and I got those same results, of bubbles, and never could get both radiused-sides to "settle evenly", even after AT LEAST 15 minutes of working it, and waiting overnight.

I've installed Nillkin protectors going back at least 6 years now, I think my first was on a Nokia 1020, then a L950XL, and then a Nexus 6P, and a OP 5T, 6, and 7 Pro (and several family members and friends phones, I installed all Nillkin on those, as well).

Never had a SINGLE issue, on ANY of those phones, across all those years, they "just went on, and I worked out the bubbles/radius, period", one-and-done, period.

The OP8 Pro was a completely different experience, despite my VERY careful cleanup job, and using my refillable can of compressed air, to make sure there were no bits of junk on the screen (I used a loupe, and checked both Nillkin's after install, and sure couldn't find anything under them, even the next day, when they never smoothed-out).

Something is "off" about the released radius measurements on the screen, I think, that the screen-protector companies got measurements that weren't quite right, for whatever reason. Or, maybe some of the actual phone screens weren't quite radiused perfectly, it's tough to guess, without some sophisticated scanning, and the measurements from OP, I suppose...

I just know that my Nillkin installs were 100%, and then went to 0%, on the OP 8 Pro, which is sort of odd.

I tried one of the UltimateShield full-glue deals, that was a mess (even after VERY carefully taping the entire perimeter, with blue painters tape, I've done some vehicle painting and similar, so it's not my first go at edge-taping stuff), that darn fluid glue went under the tape, in most places, despite my best efforts to really make sure it was solid, all-around.

I went back to a TPU protector, for now, one with the USB-install-guide, which allows for near perfect alignment, an Omotion. It's not as smooth as glass, but it's flat, zero-bubbles or other defects, and my fingerprint reader works, or was working perfectly, until this last firmware update (I've had to re-register several times since the 10.5.12 release, so that's not weird).

I'm staying with that, for now, until there's a full glue (not the superfluid type) protector(s), that get better ratings, or maybe I'll just stay with TPU for the life of my OP8 Pro, who knows...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] robdam1001:
Why wouldn't it be?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
My Nillkin took me about an hour to get out the bubbles and had to go back the next day to work out one or two more and get the edges down. Then it was perfect. Typical slick glass. My only complaint was the black boarder blocks the proximity sensor and it was messing with my calls. If it wasn't for that I would have kept it.

If you go with a loca glue install just spend the extra on Whitestone. The tray with the inserts on the sides keep glue off the phone. But if you're going to try to edge tape, try yellow frog tape and wipe down the lines with a damp towel. It has an edge lock that should help. I'd rather spend the extra $20 and not go through the hassle though
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pgrey2:
Interesting. Those edges never looked like they were going to even out, to me, and I let one sit, overnight, and then tried again (maybe 15-20 minutes each, spent trying to flatten and work things out, at least).

I couldn't bring myself to spend 45, on a single screen protector, particularly after the other liquid-glue one (at 25 for 2, although I don't plan on trying the 2nd of the UltimateShield ones, but I do have some green-frog tape, from another project) went so sideways (I spent a good 30 minutes cleaning things up, afterwards).

Honestly, for now, I'm staying with my TPU protector, it's perhaps 80% for me, compared to glass, and none of the hassles. I've used multiple glass protectors in the past, for various devices, and never had an experience like this, trying to get the radiused parts just-so, where it wouldn't even sit, on the radius.

My daughter probably broke 5-6 cheap-o glass protectors, on her used OP7 Pro, and I replaced them with similar (started with a Nillkin on it, and quickly decided I needed something cheaper ;-]), and the fingerprint reader and edges "just worked". The OP8 Pro is by far the most "finnicky" device I've ever seen/had like this, the darn fingerprint reader and edges just seem "not quite fitted" with the protectors I had, anyway (I tried a Pullen, an Olixar, after those Nillkin's that failed). I'm not alone, if you look at reviews, tons of people had install problems, and the TPU protectors are the only ones with decent ratings, the last time a looked, about 10 days ago.

Maybe I should've just bought a Whitestone, obviously highly rated, but 45 bucks, for one protector (yeah, I spent about that, to get back to TPU now, I know), I get the "quality factor", but I couldn't do it. Maybe when the OP8 Pro is waning a little, they'll go on sale, and I'll take the plunge ;-]

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Mine, too, detailed in my "saga thread", I went through 3 budget glass-protectors, 2 Nillkins, and 1 glue-on, per my post, before going back to TPU, for now.

Dillingham, do they even have service there? ;-]

I grew up in Anchorage, and dated a gal for quite awhile, whose Mom grew up in Dillingham (I've been to a couple of isolated villages, and numerous other communities similarly, my dad was a geologist, growing up, but not Dillingham). I miss Alaska, in general, but not the mobile-service, or the (lack of) real tech work (I've lived in WA, since college).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
I honestly didn't think the Nillkin was going to work out, but it did and was beautiful. But it took more work than any I've ever done.

I agree $45 is a lot, but you get one free if you break it. The perfected install kit alone makes it worth it to me
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] h4lli:
my Nillkin will arive today.. i am prepared for an hour of hard work :D ..will see how it works out..

..still waiting patiently for my whitestone order.. hope they solve their delays soon..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] h4lli:
holy cow.. this screen protector is a f..ing beast.. attached how it looks after 1 hour..

first installation seemed like it will never lay down on both edges.. lifted it and put it on a second time.. much better now..

from your hard working experience...do you think i have a chance to get rid of the remaining bubbles? :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Yes. That's what mine looked like. It is possible
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] h4lli:
after 1 night and some more work it looks a tiny bit better.. only 5 bubbles left in the middle of the screen.. edges still look quite the same as on the picture..

for now i will leave this thing on my screen.. but i really pray that whitestone is able to deliver soon..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] h4lli:
so after nearly 4 days that Nillkin DS+ finally laid down perferctly :good::laugh:

now it is really quite perfect.. would like it more without the black border.. but pocket detection is working fine for me (read somewhere black border is causing trouble there) and it fits with the original Oneplus cases.. so 4 out of 5 stars :cyclops:

still hoping on the Whitestone..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Imprezzion:
I use a Monoco glass one with UV reactive fluid and that's one without Black borders. Works great even tho it was hard to get all the bubbles out of the fluid. Basically you have to do it right the first time or your screwed. One bubble not on the edges or one spec of dirt and it's done. But, IF you get it right and UV light it long enough for the fluid to fully cure it's amazing. Fingerprint works fine, no real bad rainbow effect, there is some but not to the point where it's annoying.

Plus, they are super cheap like €9.95 lol. I like it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Mrsbuklao:
The Whitestone Dome UV-glass is now available for the 8 PRO.

whitestonedome.com/products/oneplus-8-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector?_pos=2&_sid=170d15e27&_ss=r

Couldn't post a link since i am a new user

What do you guys think? Is it worth getting? I can get it from a local shop in Sweden for 55 euro. I have never used UV-glue or fluids on any phone so far.

Feeling kind of nervous.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] crzycrkr:
Have had mine on for about a month. Like always, great glass and easy install. Worth the money
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] h4lli:
Update: after 1 day of laying down the edges came up with bubbles again.. this thing is really driving me nuts..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] AnoIDE:
same problem as you I have a bubble from top to bottom on each side of the screen with Nillkin Amazing 3D DS+ Max...

I am not happy with this protection..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] kevinluse:
The whitestone dome is finally available to kind of pre-order on the US Amazon, but it costs another $185 to ship to the UK. That's just absurd!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] palmaxmaverick:
Can you share us the link for buying a Monoco Glass, please?

I bought a MSOVA one and my fingerprint reader does not work anymore, even when I tried to re-set my fingerprints twice...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Huggemyman:
A question, is the any problems installing the Whitestone dome glass for the OnePlus 8 pro on the Oppo find x2 pro? Camera bumps are placed differently, does this affect the installation? When you place the phone in the installation kit?

Thankful for help before ordering! It's pretty expensive....

Regards from Sweden!

I got mine right away but it cracked 5 weeks ago shortly after install... I paid for replacements right away and got nothin still.

I emailed them 4 times .

I'm so sick of this
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] h4lli:
emailed them once.. got the answer that they are experiencing issues with their manufacturer..

atm amazon.us lists it in stock with delivery sep 23rd to oct 7th.. really hope that this gets true..

all other protectors for op8p are just a pain in the ass.. including the nillkin ds+ that i have on it atm..
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] Mikaelwikner:
Got my first one a month ago. Ironically I had my phone under repair for a cracked screen. When my phone was back I saw that the screen protector was cracked in the upper corner from factory. It only took three day for the store to send me a new one. I didn't order from Whitestone. I found a store here in Sweden, phonelife. They still got them.

The protector is by far the best I have tried for any phone.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] xchatter:
On flat screens the Nillkin tempered glass protectors were always my go-to for years. They've always been very good. However when I moved to curved screen Nillkin only provided those with the glue only on the side. They worked, but I never liked protectors with black edges making the display look ugly with different shades of black on the side and on the middle. :/
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] misteurz:
I don't like those with black border too...

They reduce a few pixels on the screen surface [emoji33][emoji33]

Hello pappschlumpf.

I will receive my 1+8 Pro tomorrow and I am still looking for a decent TGSP.

The one you posted looks promising, but is the UV glue really easy to remove if the TGSP gets damaged?

I found a video showing the glue is so hard that you need to remove it with a knife if you protector gets damaged.

Is this the case with the glue used by AsBellt?

OT, but still: Do you also have a nice case you use with the screen protector applied? Looking for protection and a clear back to showcase the phone ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Accessories] pappschlumpf:
You remove it like any other protector too. There are absolutely no issues with the glue they use.

I use an UAG Plasma case mostly. But i have a Ringke Fusion X too. There's a variant with transparent back available. The protection level is ok, but not on the level of the UAG.
