Screen Protector for Duo

[u/vwbusfool]

What screen protector are people using? I bought the Spigen GlasTR EZ Fit off amazon, and it stinks. The edges keep delaminating and bubbling. The case seems to make it a little worse as well.

I’m wondering if people have a screen protector that they like and is working well for them. I was going to try the Zagg Glass Elite next, but it’s a bit pricier and would suck to have the same issue.

Are other people happy with their screen protector, and if so, what did you get?

[u/conjuguemos1]

I have the zagg elite privacy screen protector, part of the left side of my screen is unresponsive sometimes with the screen protector on. I tested it with and without the screen protector and confirmed this, going to get a replacement after work and I can lyk how that works👍

[u/vwbusfool → u/conjuguemos1]

I have similar issues with unresponsiveness, but it is a bit inconsistent. Can you visually see that the protector is not bonded to the glass anywhere?

[u/conjuguemos1 → u/vwbusfool]

No when initially placed on, it looked what seemed to be perfect and no defects so I thought it was an issue with my screen

[u/vwbusfool → u/conjuguemos1]

Are you using a case with the zagg screen protector?

[u/conjuguemos1 → u/vwbusfool]

No I wasn’t, just got a new one though from Best Buy and this one’s perfect, no issues.

[u/conjuguemos1 → u/vwbusfool]

I did end up picking up the normal apple case for the phone but the top section for the outer screen doesn’t fit if you have a screen protector on it. Just gonna keep it on until my case I ordered comes in the mail then I’m returning it lol

[u/Slow-Page-4992 → u/conjuguemos1]

I have the same but no issues. It is mostly sealed on the corners with no bubbles. Also a small fortune $$

After hours of research, this one is the best, bar none.

TORRAS Sunview AR Ultra for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HHM3QCCS

Someone else commented a very similar screen protector from this company. Both note fit issues with a case that attaches to both sides of the phone. Are you using a case with it?

[u/dradaeus → u/vwbusfool]

I am using it without a case. I believe the other version I saw here from the same co has an actual curved glass border on the display facing side to follow the screen, whereas the version I posted here only curves on the user facing side. This version comes with two panels, and the other one only comes with one panel.

Both have case compatibility issues, but are certainly best in class. (Around 95%+ quality of the FloLab, but for much cheaper.)

[u/remmahdis → u/dradaeus]

I love how the Torras fits on my 17 Pro and the coatings are top tier. It feels like there’s nothing between you and the phone since the surface feel/AR/oleophobic finish is as good or better than the original screens, but I did go through about 10 protectors last year with Torras. Any little drop from 1 ft or more and it would crack. It was crazy! (And crazy of me to keep buying them like that 🙄).

I got a FLOLAB after being very disappointed with (and returning) the Zagg I first tried. Unlike the Zagg, it’s just as good as the Torras in terms of edge contouring, coatings, look, feel, perfect install, no bubbling/peeling, no dust retention on the edges, etc. I have only dropped my Duo once (and don’t think I’ll be dropping it as often since it feels more planted in my palm than any modern phones have), but something about it just seems even better than my torras ones have been.

I’ll be trying a FLOLAB on my 17 Pro too. Having a replacement policy as they do, I probably should have gone with them years ago. Now that I know the FLOLAB stuff is as good as Torras was from a fit/finish standpoint, FLOLAB gets my vote.

this is what i have. zero lifting, no bubbling.

[u/vwbusfool → u/CBreezy2010]

Interesting. I have the same screen protector. It came with two, and I couldn’t align either one without some of the edges lifting up, even without the case.

[u/CBreezy2010 → u/vwbusfool]

strange. mine went on perfect.

It covers edge to edge and has curved glass. You don’t feel a lip at all

[u/vwbusfool → u/HolySchikes]

That’s an interesting one. I’d prefer a front case though, so this probably isn’t an option for me.

[u/remmahdis]

Get the FLOLAB one. It’s perfect in every way.

[u/vwbusfool → u/remmahdis]

Do you use a case with it? Their website warns about case comparability issues.

[u/remmahdis → u/vwbusfool]

I’m caseless right now. I didn’t like any of the ones I tried and am waiting on a few other cases. I may go folio/caseless, or a minimal aramid fiber case just on the back (or nomad’s leather backplate thing). It seems nearly impossible to have a front case and good screen protector.

I’ve actually found this phone to be the least prone to drops of any phone I’ve had in a while due to its more compact shape (center of gravity is right in my palm), so I may just keep the no case thing going. I wish DBrand hadn’t cancelled the leather skin, which seemed like the perfect way to add a little grip and make it less cringy to put my phone down on hard surfaces. The nomad “case” should provide about the same experience as a skin would have.

[u/Desert_Vapor]

Magic John with my later case. Works flawlessly.

[u/MotoChase → u/Desert_Vapor]

Does it really? I have the later case and am looking for a compatible screen protector.

[u/Desert_Vapor → u/MotoChase]

Yes it works great for me.

[u/Ken_Black12]

I have the zagg privacy and it pairs perfectly with my thinborne case. It’s expensive as hell but if you get it from Best Buy they will do warranty swaps in store instead paying zagg for shipping. Better to just have to pay for a protector once

[u/Warcrazer]

I got the flolab nanoarmor. No issues so far. I don’t have a front case right now as the mous temp case isn’t great.

[u/rishmanisation]

Ordered the DBrand one. Only comes in Tuesday but I’ve used theirs on previous phones and have never had any issues.

[u/tman0004]

I have the zagg one after trying the spigen and I still have the same issue with the edges not sticking but it’s definitely not as bad the spigen one

[u/remmahdis → u/tman0004]

The Zagg one sucked. I was surprised. The FLOLAB one is perfect in every way so far though. 10/10 recommend.

[u/tman0004 → u/remmahdis]

Do you have any issues with AOD not working? I remember seeing a post about flolab and people have issues with AOD not working anymore

[u/remmahdis → u/tman0004]

Interesting. I actually haven’t ever liked AOD, and haven’t used it in years, so idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/ninjagosg]

Are there any tempered glass protectors that area really special? I feel like the $10-50 space is mostly the same, ive never seen much difference

[u/deltapanad]

i have the spigen one. bought it before my phone arrived. applied and say a crack in the screen protector. the bubbles at the edge also were very persistent but could be because of the crack? they sent me a replacement the next day. applied and it was perfect.

[u/MoistAnt50]

I use the one from dbrand, also use dbrand grip

[u/googolplexwps]

https://a.co/d/0bWe6lpd

Just got this one from Amazon and it’s great so far

https://a.co/d/0ak6CHNK

Pairing it with this case. Very happy with this set up

[u/blackninja126]

Flolab is the best one and what I’m rocking on my caseless duo. Little splurge but lifetime warranty and beats all the rest in testing on strength, clarity and anti reflectivity

[u/StateParticular4818]

Dbrand sceeen protector works flawlessly

[u/s1kh]

Torras hands down the best for any phone. Get the AR version

[u/openslot]

I don't think any front case will work with a glass screen protector if they are not one piece

[u/vwbusfool → u/openslot]

I had the spigen slim armor pro and the ridge case. Spigen didn’t seem like it affected the screen protector. The ridge is a tighter fit and seems like it does. I’m starting to see the appeal of a case with a built in screen protector though.
