And put their own, or is the one the Op2 comes with good protection enough?
I took it off to replace with a spigen hd one. But it is a good one. Should have left it. Haha
Yeah I replaced mine with a glass one. The one on it is not to bad though. I just like glass protection and the feel.
Took it off today to replace with tempered glass, but it's OK protection for free.

Same as everyone else - I replaced it today after maybe 6-7 days and threw tempered glass on there. Smudge-free now.
Same. Replaced with tempered glass after a few days..prefer the feel and protection of tempered glass.

Well my uncle bough the opt for me, and I bought a tampered glass protector from OP for it, but my uncle says to use this one until it gets dirty then use the protector ;~; I can't argue since he bought me teh phone..

I have the tempered glass one for it from one plus but will wait a few days. Hard to believe it will be smudge free after I put it on. I was just concerned taking the free one off that it would leave some kind of residue.
It's a piece of cheap plastic which does no favors for either protection or screen clarity. Replace it with tempered glass, the difference is HUGE.

I have a pthink tempered protector coming, what's the best way to remove the original and replace with the tempered without dust and stuff getting underneath? Last time I tried I failed miserably and frisbeed the glass on into the wall
I just dislike screen protectors. Never had a problem with scratches on any phone in the past.
I ended up taking it off and put on tempered glass, I recommend it.

Which one did you install? Really smudge free?
Anyone installed the Non Glass screen protector from OnePlus ?
I have it and I'm wondering if it's better than the factory installed one.
I replaced mine with one of the Orzly tempered glass protectors, and it's WAY better than the stock. The stock one is fine, but it's a fingerprint/smudge magnet, and it's not as smooth as a glass protector. I've used Orzly protectors on all my devices and they're fantastic. The one I had on my 1+1 saved the screen after a drop in a parking lot. The protector took the impact and shattered instead of the screen.
Took off the free one in 24 hours. It was good except it was a fingerprint magnet. So many smudges. Happy with tempered glass.
I removed the stock, then applied the orzly tempered glass right after. Definite improvement!

The easy way of getting this explained is this. The phone comes with a thin layer that is OK at best. If you have a flip case then you might be happy with that but if your screen is going to be exposed then purchase a tempered glass 1. If your going to invest money in a device and it quite obvious that you will be looking at the screen a lot then protect it. Its not like it's gonna break the bank and you will never worry. ☺

Have heard a lot of conflicting advice respecting Gorilla Glass. Is there any agreement on whether we should use a screen protector or not?

There are several arguments in favor of using screen protectors as there are several things capable of scratching Gorilla Glass. Most notably sand. I get the feeling here that a lot of people plan on using some combination of either a screen protector on the front and back, or a screen protector on the front with some kind of TPU case.
I personally don't like screen protectors or cases. I don't like the way screen protectors make the phone feel, and cases generally make the phone too bulky for my liking. No less, I plan on going with one of the androidified cases by CruzerLite whenever they're released -- they're kind of like the case for people who hate cases. I'm willing to make this sacrifice to save myself from an indoor drop. In New Hampshire, all bets are off when you're outdoors.
After a year my RAZR has a single hairline scratch that's only noticeable if you really look for it. Never had a screen protector on it.
That being said I have seen many people who got scratches and on gorilla glass seemingly easily.

I strongly advise a protector. The new tempered glass protectors are really nice but they aren't available for this phone yet. I was totally okay using gorilla glass 1 (original) without a protector. I used my Sensation naked for months and it never got a single scratch. Not even a nick. I sold it in perfect condition. My nexus already has a few microscratches in it though. I have seen galaxy SIIIs with scratches in them too. Gorilla glass II just sucks. It may still be resistant to cracking and shattering, but it seems to have virtually no scratch protection anymore. When I get my warranty replacement, I'm definitely putting a screen protector on.

Gorilla Glass II is fine. Your phone is just being subjected to more fine particles.

tbh I don't like anything on my phone, and most of us gonna use it for a year or two. so why not use her fully naked :cyclops:
choose your own, and risk your own.
Why bother asking others if there is no absolute answer?
I don't plan on using one until some tempered glass ones start coming out. I hate how normal screen protectors feel.

Is this actually true. Do many people think gorilla glass 1 is more scratch resistant than 2? Now I'm worried.

Depends on if u ever plan to resell your phone. That's the only reason I use screen protectors & cases, to retain resale value

I highly doubt this. My nexus has been subjected to the same if not better conditions as my sensation and already has scratches whereas my sensation was even dropped on concrete and not a scratch. A simple Google search will show most people find the original gorilla glass to be more scratch resistant. Samsung Galaxy s2 vs s3 is a prime example.

I'm planning on using the stock front, back, and side screen protectors for my new Nexus 4 but have not seen many people doing the same. Is anyone using the stock protectors or is there harm doing so long-term? I am planning on using this with a the Exact Armour Case (sold on Amazon) too...
The front protector ist often not applied very well and has symbols für Volume an Power printed on it.
The back protector fits perfectly.
Iam only using them till they fall off^^ I dont think they will last very long.

Why would you want to use them? It's got Gorilla glass 2, so it's not like it's gonna get scratched easily. The only protection you could get is against hitting and the screen protectors can't help you there.
Pretty certain that there's no side protectors. I'm still using the stock protectors until my BSE ones arrive. Problem is they are designed to be removed easily, especially the back one, so it's actually already coming loose just because my hand grazes the removal tab.

Because it's been established that the glass still scratches easily, even though it's marketed as gorilla glass. Mine got 2 micro scratches before I decided to put a screen protector on - it's a common issue.
Gorilla Glass is quite resistant to scratches from the key or coins (in your pocket) but a simple grain of sand can make visible scratch on it! I used stock screen protectors but they started to come off after a week, so I bought Spigen Dual Ultra Crystal for my Nexy and I'm definitely satisfied with it.:victory:

Some of the phones were coming with protectors around the sides too, some weren't.
How is the friction of the finger to the screen then? Is it much worse than without using a protector?

using the stock screen protectors is probably the worst thing you can do. They're not really even screen protectors at all. They are much more flimsy and thinner then a screen protector and why would you want to keep them on when the front has the buttons printed on them and the back has the IMEI on it. If you want protection get the SGP dual protector.
I ordered the skinomi screen protector a few days before I ordered the phone. I never really thought about the wet application process and the speakers on the front of the phone. Has anyone successfully installed one of these without ruining their speakers? Thinking about just going tempered glass. Sigh.

I had it applied, no problems with speaker. But man its bad,not worth the money. I took it off and applied a cheap non wet screen protector. I'm waiting for my temper glass screen protector to arrive..

Hi,
I bought a tempered glass screen protector for my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which also covers the curved screen edges. I tried putting on a fitted case and BOOM, the tempered glass broke. I guess it caught on the glass.
Any tips on my next buy and attempt? [emoji23]

The minimal protection cases work fine with tempered glass screen protectors, but you will have problems with virtually all combinations of rugged protection cases and tempered glass screen protectors.
Huge discussion in the Accessories forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/accessories/curved-tempered-glass-screen-protector-t3320688
Basically it has been decided that all of the tempered glass screen protectors are the same Chinese crap, just purchased and branded by different companies. Even well respected companies like ZAGG are guilty of this. The one from GPEL is the least bad, but it is still not great and they keep delaying their revised version.

You could always use a case friendly film protector. Of course this will not protect the glass from breaking, just scratches. I'm using this combo with the UAG case, rather have the drop protection that just the screen.
How far has the film protectors come? I've used one many years ago and the feeling was sluggish, like my finger sticked a bit to the film.

How did you manage to scratch it?
I took mine off to put the official 3d tempered glass screen protector on. I did not like that one, so now my phone is naked while I wait for a different one.
No scratches so far, and I've dropped it on tile a few times :fingers-crossed:

I have no clue. I bought the OnePlus tempered glass but it sucked so I took it off. I've ordered an orzley one, but I'm not sure when it'll be here.
I've ordered the Orzley tempered glass protector and have left the factory installed protector on until it arrives. The factory installed screen protector already has small scratches as it is a very low quality vynl protector. This will be the first device that I've had used tempered glass but I always use a screen protector having learned my lesson way back in the pre-gorilla days. I simply hate the inevitable tiny scratches plus I hold onto my devices longer than most people. E.g. I came to this OP5 from a Nexus 5. I've also bought a cheap gel case and am waiting for a dBrand skin.

Ear wacks?
I removed it... Tried the glass from OnePlus, but it sucked hard to be honest. It didn't fit at the edges... I'm hoping that since the phone has gorilla glass, it would not scratch so easily. The phone looks much better without the factory protector.
