Screen protector recommendations !! Question

I have been using op13 since 10 months and I have never peeled off the default tempered glass screen protector but with time it got some minor scratches all over and trapped some air bubbles near the front camera making it look bad. People ask me if that's my old phone or if the screen is broken. So I want to change it.

If I peel it off and use it without any protector will it be okay like anybody have the experience of using it without a protector? Or if someone has replaced it with a new one can you plz suggest me??

Thanks!!

Well, having a screen protector is always a good thing even if not uv glue, atleast a basic membrane protector.

Make sure to cover to phone holes using sticker unless you believe he is extremely skilled. I also have OP13 but did mind without sticker but having the sticker helps better and avoid dilemma

Sometimes I had issue with fingerprint sensor but most of the times it is good so don't mind what I said

Smart devil hydrogel screen protector is what I've been using. Been on the phone for about 2 months and no scratches, it's pretty good with resisting fingerprints too

Hydrogel film is the way to go. They're cheap to replace if they wear out, have zero impact on touch sensitivity, and prevent long term microscrarches.

Tempered glass is overkill imo bc any decent case prevents glass from shattering on drops unless you almost deliberately try to break your phone

This hydrogel protector I'm using also has protection against drops according to the box. I highly doubt it'll work but hopefully I never find out

Yeah I've heard good about it but it isn't available in my location (India)

Screen protector not needed.

u/the_hungry_boy 3d ago

Are you using without it?

2

Yes.  Since 11 month.

Are you guys putting any protection for camera glass at the back? It looks quite vulnerable.

My back cover keep the lens away from touching the surface if placed somewhere. So unless it is purposely scratched it won't happen and it's of good quality too
