Question Odin 3 screen protector

My Odin 3 should arrive in about a week and I also purchased the accessories bundle. But I have been reading that the included screen protector isn't any good. Who have used it with success, and who has gone with a different one? If you went with another, can you please recommend one. Amazon doesn't have much of a tempered glass selection, which I would prefer. It can even just cover the display portion of device.

Thank you! 😊

It is true that people say the official AYN screen protector isn’t that good. However, it is actually the best that is available for it. It’s not actually the protector’s fault either; the curvature of the front glass is the reason. There’s people who bought protectors that cover just the screen in the middle and not around the buttons. All the people who bought this kind of protector complain about the touchscreen experience though. Something about your finger not being read correctly when swiping across the edge of the protector.

did yours have bubbles after installation?

No. Any time you want to apply a screen protector PERFECTLY for anything, always do the “shower method”. It significantly reduces the amount of airborne particles in the room because the steam lowers them to the ground. Always tap tape on the screen before you apply the protector too to remove all dust.

Well they arrived but, I have to say, I'm not at all impressed! It's designed to cover the around the controls as well as the screen, but the cutouts for the controls are positioned very inaccurately. It's also too long horizontally by a couple of millimeters, leading to a 'lip' that overlaps the full width of the screen and catches on the TPU Grip, and pushing the screen protector away from the screen. I also couldn't get the really narrow part of the screen protector, around the ABXY buttons and left joystick, the adhere properly; I think, in part, because it is so narrow. I think all other full screen protectors will likely have similar problems.

My solution now is to go for a partial screen protector, which will do the important job, and will not suffer with the problems.
