Removed screen protector....

...on my Huawei p30 pro. Since my very first smartphone got dropped on it's first day and landed face down on the street receiving three signiciant dings in the screen, I've used a case and a screen protector. My screen protector on the Huawei was curved glass and fit well but it's oleophobic coating was a joke. It got fingerprints like magic and was resistant to cleaning.

Yesterday I took it off and threw it away. I had ordered a new, and different brand, of screen protector.

I used the phone awhile without the screen protector and was amazed at how much better the gestures navigation works. I used to have to repeat gestures more often than not and no I don't. The gestures and quick and snappy. The bare screen, I removed the film protector that was on the screen at purchase, also has great oleophobic properties.

I know it won't last forever but I'm happy now.

Using a phone like that is always a beautiful experience. Enjoy! What new screen protector did you order?

I have an Ibywind tempered glass .33mm and allegedly is strong, oleophobic, water repellant and transparent--duh. I harbor a suspicion that all glass screen protectors come out of the same factory in China and are simply sold under different names.

I understand your conundrum. I have an S10 and it has been quite difficult to find a screen protector to not only cover the display but also fits well. I had to order directly from Samsung.

Let us know how your screen protector fares!

I ordered a glass screen protector from Amazon and ended up breaking it trying to get the bubbles out. Haven't used one since.

And a glass protector on a DSLR screen saved me a lot of money. If I were buy $150 phones I might not bother but $750 is worth a protector.

After having one protector that collected fingerprints and another that was missing a cutout needed for the notch I really wish manufacturers would "endorse" accessories. I've gotten burned with a lot of accessories for phones--such as cases that don't fit--and accessories for other items--such as my Kindles--and Amazon has been great about refunding my money or helping me get the issue resolved but sometimes it's not worth the hassle.

So, Huawei, recommend a holster for the Huawei P30 pro and a glass oleophobic screen protector.
