Screen protector - oil resistant and no scratch due to stylus usage - which one?

I have read through tons of the threads regarding the screen protector for the Note 8.0, and I haven't found one yet that meets what I want:
1). Oil resistant: the naked screen is REALLY good is resisting oil from my hands.
2). Won't scratch due to stylus use: I bought the Note for the Stylus and I use it extensively. Some screen protector I read got scratched with the stylus.
So if you have a screen protector, can you tell me your experiences?
This is what I learnt so far:
No plan to make one for Note 8.0
SGP Steinhell
XGear
Have bad oil resistant capability
iSmooth: more oil accumulate on the screen?
No review found
Amzer Shatterproof (link): no info so far...
Green Onion Oleophobix (link): No info so far...

I did and loved to get one, but I am somewhat wary on using AliExpress, after seeing tons of issues customer having with them (Google it). I may get lucky and had no problem, but I had similar experiences with online retailer and won't go through it again.
But thanks for the links. Now back to our regularly scheduled channel..

Could try this one:

I don't have one so no experience to speak of but it's not from aliexpress and it's cheaper.

I just emailed the seller about Oleophobic coating. Waiting..

Fyi,I just bought the Green Onion knee, since it claim it had the olephobic coating.
It's only $8, so I have it a shot. Will report back soon.

Know what you mean. I shy away from buying directly from China whenever possible mainly due to the incredibly slow delivery times. I took a chance on this and while I've not gotten it yet the communication from the seller has been pretty good! I inquired why the tracking wasn't showing and he investigated and replied twice in 24 hours. (Granted I "did mention" I was awaiting the item for an XDA review....)
Using a credit card usually protects one but the long delivery wait can be extremely annoying.

I had never ordered from them before and as it says in my thread, I was slightly concerned, but it came quicker than stated and is a really good product, no problems with the seller or the protector at all.

I have the TechArmor anti-fingerprint anti glare protector and it's great! Doesn't pick up oils, stylus works (and I like that it has a very slight texture to it giving a little feedback) and the anti-glare world's great! I have never been unhappy with Tech Armor... used it on 5 or 6 devices now. ..

Not sure if you ever got your answer from them but it does list Oleo phobic coating in the item description
Tempered Glass provides your device with the best surface protection without sacrificing the responsiveness of touchscreen. Despite its slim 0.4 mm glass base thickness, this transparent tempered glass is nearly impossible to scratch or penetrate thanks to its rating of 8-9H hardness, while its oleophobic coating offers resistance against smudges and fingerprints.

I bought from Amazon just 2 days ago for $8. But now I went back and it's $19.99?!
When I bought it, it was sold by Amazon, not some 3rd party seller.

You must have got very lucky then. I checked the same day you made the post and it was listed at $18 and change. I'll be keeping an eye out for it though. The skinomi I have is pretty terrible and needs to be replaced.

I think it was a price mistake from Amazon. I also thought it was a fake one sold by a reseller, so I checked the "My Order" page in Amazon and it shows $8 and "Sold by Amazon".
I'll update when I received the item today.

I got the Green Onion Oleophobic screen today (the $8 one) and I can tell you it is a GREAT screen protector.
It's quite easy to install and it comes with a LARGE dust cleaner screen to help with the installation. Aligning this big screen protector is a b*tch though. I still got a small bubble on the right side, but it's not evident since my Note 8.0 is white.
The screen protector feel very solid and smooth. It has the coating, as you can feel it when you run your finger on it. I like it more because writing with my stylus feel better and not too smooth, just enough for me.
I highly recommend this, though you may want to wait for the price to come down to $8.
UPDATE: This thing is a dust magnet!

Just stumbled upon this on eBay from a US Seller. Quite probably would have sprung for this instead of playing the waiting game to receive virtually the same product from mainland China. It's also listed about 8 bucks cheaper.
A real viable alternative IMHO.

Anyone noticed that the Note 8 comes with a preinstalled screen protector?!
I just noticed when I was peeling off all the tiny protection plastics like on the home button and camera lens that there was also something on the screen just to find out it was a screen protector
Nice!

Previously in this thread...
So has anyone used on of these TechPro protectors yet? I'm about to pull the trigger, but I'd like to see if anyone has any experience with them first.

I just put one on mine today. I like the way it fits almost edge to edge also come with Home button extension in several colors. I still get finger prints but I don't think it was as bad as before. Got mine from Amazon. No problems with the S-Pen and it's clear as glass I see no reason at this point to tell you not to pull the trigger.

Moto Z Best Screen Protector?

I am seeing a lot of screen protectors coming out on amazon, that are from small companies, was wondering if anybody has ever tried them and which one is the best one? Should I go try some of them out or wait for Zagg to come out of one of their own for the Moto Z/Z force?

Never felt like paying the premium for Zagg stuff; I've been using Skinomi protectors on my last three phones (it's the same material as Zagg/GadgetGuard etc). Have the TechSkin on my Z Force and it fits PERFECTLY, right up to the edge. Tried the MatteSkin once, but found it de-contrasted my screen way too much.

Well crap. I thought it was the Force that had the 2.5D screen edges. We aren't ever going to get a decent glass screen protector for this phone. My S7 was just like this and as popular as it is doesn't have a good glass screen protector.

Anybody tried Nillkin H+ Pro? They offer discount today.

how is the fit?

I wish I would have come across this thread before I bought the IQ Shield Tempered Glass protector. Clarity and feel are amazing but the edges don't seal!! It really grinds my gears.

Just bought a generic tempered glass (I highly doubt it is real tempered glass, maybe just some plastic). It is really cheap, not prone to fingerprints, and it makes the screen look great. Adhesion is nice, no abnormal lifts from the sides. Here are some pictures and the price tag.

I'm jealous, that seal looks perfect! I paid twice as much and mine is lifted on the left, right, and bottom edges.

Installed today... The front screen protector is of good quality and attach perfectly on screen even if it is a bit small in size in all directions in my opinion. Great transparency and print resistance too...
The back one is like old screen protections and it's impossible to fit it without a lot of bubble...
Too much for me so I removed... It's a pity since it had a good print resistance too... that was really needed.

Anyone found a screen protector that covers the entire front?

Here are some photos to show how much it covers the phone: https://goo.gl/photos/fokxXnJzSq58zKAU6
I didn't get it on exactly perfect but if I did then I think it would have been pretty close to full coverage. I'm considering pull it off and replacing it. Also, I bought a full body protector so that I could put something on the back to protect from scratches and some finger prints. When I pulled it out and looked at it before applying it to the phone then I noticed there was no hole for the gold connection pins to pass through. I was very disappointed. Here is a link to the full body protector.

Mi Mix cracked LCD and other Spare Parts

hi Guys,
My Friend cracked the Digitizer/LCD of Mi Mix. Even the housing has suffered damage. The phone works and everything is ok. but the screen is cracked a bit on the edge and the housing frame suffered minor damage too.
The problem is I'm not able to locate spare parts anywhere for Mi Mix except one online shop somewhere in Vietnam with the LCD costing about 300$ which I believe is a lot.
Can someone else guide me to some place where I can buy these things cheaply. I may require other spares as well upon disassembling the cell phone.

I don't think that parts are going to be cheap for this phone being that xiaomi made this phone in low quantities making it hard to get parts for it, so my advice to every one is to take care of this fragile phone carefully.

Search for "mi mix replacement screen" on aliexpress, they have the digitizer for 6 or 7 $'s

What about the surrounding frame?
I need the frame only.

I've checked that too, there are parts found that look like screen protectors. But these are including tools that look like tools you need to remove front glass. And well it looks like holes for the ambient light sensor and the led are missing.
Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX

I emailed Xiaomi inquiring about replacement parts.
This was 3 weeks ago.
They completely ignored my email.
This is the last Xiaomi product I purchase.

What's about asking iFixit? Just an idea. And by the way, i've waited for answers from Samsung 4-5 weeks
Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX

I have chatted with the following website: cellspare.com. They informed that LCD would be available after 5 days. So you can contact them on your reponsibility about this matter. I posted this as help for all who have Mi Mix and please check up if the website is trusted or not.

vopmart
I found a cheaper supplier of the front screen, glass and lcd for the Xiaomi Mi Mix.
vopmart dot com /pa1014250.htm
I was unable to post the link, but fill in the gaps and you'll get there.

Here, LCD replacement.
https://www.vopmart.com/pa1014250.html

Hi Guys .... did you get your Mi Mix LCD Screen delivered and fixed from vopmart? Thank you

Oof... drop from 22" and.... poof...
Damn, I swapped to a clear see through vinyl case milken... The phone slipped off a 22" coffee table on to a ceramic floor and I cracked the screen, cracked the glass screen cover, and broke the digitizer on the front right hand corner of screen.
DAMN
I tried ordering a replacement screen and digitizer from several sites, and... Here is the kicker... they say they have the part, you pay for the part, and after payment, 2 - 3 days letter you get an email and full refund saying they don't have the part anymore. I tried to buy from vopmart, and only after waiting 10 days, did they reply to my email with a refund and sold out reason. I even ordered on ebay from a seller in Germany, and was refunded without notice after was told the screens were defective.
And probably the more concerning factor, is not actually finding and purchasing a replacement lcd screen, it is REPAIRING it. I looked at a few online Tear downs for the Xiaomi Mi Mix, and I will be honest, it is pretty involved. You literally have to take the phone to pieces to get to the lcd screen. If I am not mistaken, most phones have the LCD screen stuck on to the phone by an adhesive that is heated up to weaken the adhesive, and then peeled off. NOT the Xiaomi mi mix. Who has the knowledge to repair these monsters!?!?!?!?!
Cheers

I ordered a screen from vopmart and with the DHL express got it in less that a week for $165. But touch didn't work when it was installed. Ordered the $225 one from cellspare which took over a month to arrive but did work. vopmart may have just been a fluke, I paid with paypal and have shipped the screen back for a credit...

Now that's disconcerting that there are parts and the parts that there are don't work.

hello
is it easy to install?

Broken back glass question

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone on here has broken there back glass and managed to get it replaced? I pulled my phone out of my pocket a couple days ago and when i looked at it the back cover was shattered. i have no idea what happened. I didn't drop my phone and i don't remember anything hitting my pocket but i figure somehow i must have bumped it. At any rate I purchased a spigen case to cover it up and it looks fine. I'd be able to live with it with the exception that i have a crack going over each of my camera lenses resulting in some distorted pictures. So anyway, short story long, I'm pretty sure that i'm just going to order a replacement back from ebay and attempt the replacement myself. I'm fairly confident from the video's that I've watched that i can handle it ok. If not then oh well I guess. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Has anyone else done this repair and have any information or advice that would be useful. Just curious and figure it's worth asking first. Thanks in advance

I am quite lucky to even after it several falls.carefully replace it good luck .

Only a few people I saw had their back glass shattered. And I think most of them had replaced it either in the service center or got a replacement unit.

I will. I just ordered a back including the fingerprint sensor this morning. I'm not expected to have it until sometime around September 6th. I ordered from this ebay link, we'll see how it goes. Worse case I'm out $25.

That's okay. But I think Huawei also fixes the back with 100% guaranteed that everything will be fine.
