How-do-you-do guys, today I've applied a hydrogel screen protector made by atfolix (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://world wide web.ebay.it/ulk/itm/233264226443)

If we put bated the bubbles which are left behind when applying since they seem to disappear afterward two-three days, are they as skilful every bit a tempered glass protectors like let'southward assume from Nillkin when it comes to drops?

There is no comparing between tempered glass and hydrogel. I have hydrogel installed on the dorsum and tempered glass on the front. Hydrogel tin salvage yous from modest scratches but it is soft and you simply can't use this in the front after a couple of days.

Why what happens later couple of days?, If information technology's scratches then maybe I'm wrong in calling information technology hydrogel, but i have Galaxy S8 and K20 pro both have this screen protector I've put link of installed in them, the S8 is over 8 months sometime and there isn't any noticeable scratch, the picture is pretty thick and flexible.

Hi guys, today I've practical a hydrogel screen protector fabricated by atfolix (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://world wide web.ebay.it/ulk/itm/233264226443)

If we put aside the bubbling which are left behind when applying since they seem to disappear afterwards 2-3 days, are they equally adept as a tempered glass protectors similar let's assume from Nillkin when it comes to drops?

To be honest, i using hydrogel since redmi note 3, honor8x, pocophone, then this k20 too.

Based on what i researched online, those cheap tempered glass out at that place is NO WHERE near the hardness of our gorilla glass. Most of the time ppl drop their telephone and the tempered glass shattered they e'er think that "Oh, my tempered glass saved me" but the truth it the tempered glass already is way easier to shattere compare to our original screen.

Then u might ask, if this the instance, why am i still using hydrogel or tempered drinking glass? Well, i want to prevent scratches but not preclude shatter. If dropped, the screen going to shattered, nothing can exist prevented ?

Simply my 2cents, feel costless to hash out and dont shoot me ?

And yeah, its very flexible, got one time i put my phone inside a pencil example, and the ink of a pen stained on it. When changing new, i try to pare, scratch and poke the hydrogel (after taken off my phone) to be honest, its take me alot of force to poke through it.

I've had a difficult fourth dimension even trying to cut off from sides a bit inorder for my example not to lift it off, information technology's that stubborn, scissors do the chore though

For the back function, Hydrogel is ok. This is soft and gluey, that'southward why not suitable for the front. Moreover, it can't protect your screen if you drop your phone. I would instead advise using nilkin or other loftier-quality tempered glass in the front end.

I've but put Nillkin two.5D drinking glass on top of hydrogel 1 and the Ringke case accepted it[emoji16]

I apply a hydrogel on the front and have no issues with it, that said I oasis't dropped it still....

I use a hydrogel on the front end and take no issues with it, that said I haven't dropped it nevertheless....

The answers regarding drop protection aren't convincing all the same.

The answers regarding drop protection aren't disarming however.

Doesn't await that way, though in theory because it's softer, it should absorb some impact and reduce the likelihood of impairment but I'thousand not going to exam that

Like i said I've just put Nillkin tempered glass on your of hydrogel and now I'm not quite worried.

Holy crap at that place'south a lot of misinformation here... Glass screen protectors vs others offer the LEAST impact resistance of all screen protectors, this is due to the glass being hands shattered and displaced nether a fall
then the surface causing the harm (concrete, ceramic) volition come into direct contact with the display drinking glass shattering it likewise. Plasticc screen protectors are about as bad but the all-time screen protectors are those wet Application gel type screen protectors yous can go at best purchase past either their home brand or Zagg. My blood brother works at that place and some guy took an iPhone and smashed it with the in house screen protector on like 30 times as hard equally he can on the corner of a metal table. The phone started to bend before it even had any damage done to the screen. It did crack the screen somewhen as well, he was smashing it with full freaking force. However a glass screen protector would non have protected against that any.

And I'm an avid drinking glass screen protector user. Non because of the protection, but considering of the feel. Glass volition always experience superior to film/gel screen protectors and still does protect a bit when it comes to scratches. Since I rarely drop my phone I don't need the indestructible gel screen protectors

so the surface causing the damage (concrete, ceramic) will come into direct contact with the display glass shattering it too.

Glass volition always feel superior to motion picture/gel screen protectors and withal does protect a fleck when information technology comes to scratches.

My experience with screen protectors for this phone has been pretty atrocious. Commencement drinking glass one I tried didn't adhere effectually the surround of the brandish; I tried the second in the pack to the same result and assumed they were lacking. A second lot arrived from a different vendor; same result even so these ones came with an oil to squirt nether the edges in order to fix the white edge or halo effect. Hard pass; the screen protectors ran and so shut to the earpiece grill that it was a bad idea. Plus the non-descript oil was simply non what I wanted to put on a brand new oleophobic coated screen (on that note; I've already pulled three screen protectors off it at this indicate).

I'grand now on a hydrogel protector because I assumed the screen simply has a very slight countour that'southward hard to notice and I don't think the glass protectors accept been designed with this in mind.

I'yard not terribly impressed with the hydrogel tbh but it's an improvement on the glass protectors. It has a rainbow effect on bright pixels - like the screen is obviously covered in something. They are a nightmare to fit perfectly. My first punt has some bubbles despite my skill at aligning screen protectors. Y'all actually have to guide the protector on very advisedly with a menu instead of letting it adhere in place by itself - so the height one-half of my screen is a bit bubbly. They also seem to take perfect horizontal lines from production.

Imo, hydrogel > glass protectors. Unless you lot've managed to notice a drinking glass protector that perfectly fits the virtually invisible taper of the drinking glass on this telephone.

Never had this much of a headache with screen protectors and it actually made me depressed. Information technology'south funny, sometimes the little things in life actually get under your pare.

Howdy previously i was using black border screen protector drinking glass for iii calendar week without any result but those black border too covers some part of screen so i ordered drinking glass protector for me n for my friend on Aliexpress some how we manage to install perfectly those new drinking glass on our phone simply after that i facing fingerprint detection issue for sometime its piece of work with out issue but erstwhile its continuously says " Try Again" and that same glass protector working fine on my friends phone, I also try to remove northward add again my finger but same problem later that i removed that protector but facing same trouble (i was thinking its hardware event) just finally done a manufacturing plant reset later that fingerprint working fine then once more i installed new drinking glass screen protector from local shop when he installed that glass finger print working fine simply after sometime once more facing same issue "Effort once again" sometime its work but some time its never and this problem just facing when screen is off when i turn on screen and try its detect my finger accurately. Somehow when i turn off my screen and when the 1st icon appear my finger never notice only after 1st icon goes and over again i elevator my phone and effort over again to unlock its working fine...

It has a rainbow effect on bright pixels - like the screen is patently covered in something. They are a nightmare to fit perfectly.

You really take to guide the protector on very carefully with a card instead of letting information technology adhere in place by itself - so the pinnacle one-half of my screen is a bit bubbly.

Same i besides never like glass protector 1st i try black border i but they also cover some role of screen so second time try fully transparent 1 merely on that facing fingerprint result, Thinking to buy now hydrogel for now
