I think I'm done with the Orzly. I liked the protector but 2 things bothered me. Excessive smudging right out of the box and the sharper edge on the bottom. I just kept snagging my finger on the bottom when swiping up. It was annoying more than a hinderance but I pulled it off and the bare screen is so much better. I'll think about the Belkin with an Apple installation but that will be it if I decide not to go naked.

I had a mantos on mine, and I really like the coating. It seems better than the ones I’ve had in the past. It does collect dust under the sensor though, so I tried ThanoTech’s.

I bought two and could not get either to fit properly. It was so bad, I ended up pulling it off and putting the mantos back on then ordered an Orzly. Hopefully, it works out better.
 
I had the Mantos. Loved it initially but had the same problem as everyone else with dust getting under the sensors.

Just got the Anker one and installed it. It is ok but the guide did not align it correctly at the notch which is disappointing. Just left it on for now before trying the second on.

Mantos is they sold the dust problem would be the best in my opinion.
 
I just installed a zagg screen protector on my new iphone x and im not impressed. It does not cover the entire screen from side to side and when you align the top portion for the cameras ect it does not go all the way to the bottom and you can feel the gap when swiping up. Is there a protector out that covers the entire face of the phone leaving no gaps? I would appreciate any and all feedback. images would be appreciated aalso
 
Also really happy with the Orzly tempered glass. Installed it yesterday.
It fits the screen perfectly, had no problems during the installation (but it does take some attention and patience - 10 min maybe to get it all right, humid bathroom, etc.). I really like that it covers the entire front face, and not just the viewable area - it has a black border too so the whole glass including device's black bezels are covered.

Using a Orzly FlexiCase on it right now (pictures are without the case on) , but expecting to upgrade to the Caudabe Lucid Clear or Pitaka case - both are ordered, so just going to test and see which one I like better.

So this happened, landed on the face but not a scratch on my phone. So worth the $6. I placed another order already.

For those that have the Orzly installed, can you let me know if there's any dust in the ambient sensor area? I have the Baseus installed, and there appears to be the tiniest gap right about the very top center of the protector that allows dust to collect.

Yeh dust is getting in there. In my case a piece of cigarette tobacco got in there. My guess it got in there from the speaker hole. I blew into the speaker hole and it exited out from the top.

For now I’m going to live with this screen protector until we find a better solution... for an edge to edge screen protector.

These also cover the screen with the black bezel slightly but not enough that you really lose anything.
 
Anyone buy an anker screen protector. It’s tempered. I bought some cheap ones from China but I’m sure they aren’t tempered.

My ocd is killing me though cause with screen off and st an angle I see s mark. But doesn’t show when using at all.
 
Third, the bottom edge is not sharp but its not super rounded either. I have noticed this with all the swipe up guestures as my finger catches on it frequently.
.

This is a big factor for me. Over time it'll peel, as you'll be swiping up constantly, so ideally, you'd want a protector that is as close to the bottom edge of the phone as possible so you can avoid catching its lip whilst swiping up.

RE: The Orzly screen protector, is nobody going to mention that the sensor circles are easily visible on it? I think it makes the notch more noticeable?

Everyone on this page needs to give the i-Blason a shot. It’s actual 3D edge to edge and works with cases.

I've seen some videos and pictures of the i-Blason and it looks really nice, barely noticeable with a case on. And the added frame to put it on is a big plus. I'm considering that one a lot and I prefer the look of it over the Orzly one.

Yea, that bothered me too. I ordered an I-blason and another brand called icarez that do not have these ugly circles.
 
Looks good! But please post more pics, especially around the edges and near the notch.

Are the edges actually 3D? Does it have a small gap where it meets the phone that will allow dust in?

That's all I've been talking about with those kinds of screen protectors. Those circle/cutout/whatevers are soooo ugly and that ends up being all you see.

I just ordered this screen protector from iCarez as a backup since everyone thinks the i-Blason is crap:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F76MFQ/

I was looking at that one too since it looks the cleanest. A bit concerned about the sensors having to go though another piece of glass, especially when I have sunglasses on. Give us a performance update when you get it. Pics on the X would be great too.
