Ibywind Screen Protector For Rog phone 5/5 Pro/5 Ultimate,with 2Pcs Tempered Glass,1Pc Camera Lens Protector,1Pc Backing Carbon Fiber Film [Fingerprint Reader,Easy to install]

Ibwind has done a great job with this product. Here are the positives and negatives considering both the screen protector and the phone.Positives1. The supplied alignment frame works great. Just as good as a Whitestone.2. The protector is thick glass with rounded edges. It should provide good impact protection for the ROG Phone 5/5s.3. The fingerprint reader does work, but...4. Installation was ultimately bubble free.Negatives1. The fingerprint reader doesn't work as well with the protector on. It often does not work at all when your fingers are cold or moist. Both the Ibywind and Asus instructions advise clearing the registered fingerprints before installation, then re-registering after installation. DON'T DO IT. Register all your desired prints before installation. Test, and re-register as needed, to get them working really well. Wait one day after installation (see #3), then add the same prints again - DO NOT DELETE THE PRE-SCREEN PRINTS. These prints actually still work better. Having both pre- and post-protector prints registered gives you the best change of success.2. If you already own an ROG 5/5s, you know this: the screen is not flat. The edges actually have a radius (rounded) like a Galaxy - but smaller. The reason is clear: the speaker ports are wide slots built into the screen glass. This design is brilliant, and sounds great, but it does add a radius. I doubt that even a glued Whitestone protector could adhere to them, and I wouldn't want glue getting into the speakers. Ibywind has taken the logical approach: their protector is narrow enough to avoid interaction with the edge radii. Some people don't like this look. I'm OK with it because the protector edges are rounded. But... the actual edges of the phone screen are not covered and therefore susceptible to impact damage. A case with tall edges can help.3. For some reason that is not clear (no pun intended) the ROG 5/5S screen's flat area is not actually "flat" either. It is bowed in the long axis with the middle sticking out more than the top and bottom. Be mindful of this feature when selecting cases. Combined with the thick Ibywind protector, what happens is that the protector doesn't "flow out" onto the screen quickly. Don't panic! Just remove the alignment frame and keep smoothing out the bubbles with the Ibywind cloth. I spent about 30 minutes smoothing and got the screen about 95% bubble free. Then I smoothed it for another 15 minutes about 2 hours later. I also used the Ibywind edge oil treatment. By the next day all the bubbles were gone; the protector looks great.

So I've had quite a number of phones over the years and gone through plenty of protective screens. Some vary between a pain and fairly easy to apply. With the easy install frame that is included with this, the screen protector went on perfectly on the first go. No bubbles, not slightly off-center...near perfect in my opinion. I'll have to see how well the glass actually holds up. I normally only get glass protectors from another large well-known brand with known quality but I used the provided glass for now. No idea on its origin. If it performs poorly, I'll switch it out.The carbon fiber skin was likewise very simple and easy to apply. There were no instructions for its application but it was pretty straight forward. Definitely adds a bit of texture to the back of the phone to assist in slip prevention if you don't have an external cover. Biggest drawback is that it obscures/subdues the graphics and lightning on the back of the phone. I can't speak yet to how much it may impact the systems cooling. That said, it feels durable, adds a layer of protection to the back glass that is not there otherwise and I'll take a non-broken, maybe slightly warmer phone over one with a shattered back any day.I tried the metal camera cover but ended up just removing it. The adhesive that it comes with is not very strong and it just slips around under its own weight obscuring the cameras. Not a big deal in my opinion as I've never had a phone's camera damaged despite how damaged any of my phones have become.5 stars for the ease of install. 5 stars for adhesion on the screen and fiber skin. 0 stars on the metal camera cover adhesion.

Smart idea that an alignment frame is included! Instructions were very clear, all the individual items were packaged well and installation was pretty easy. I did have a couple of small air pockets but after about 20 minutes using the cleaning cloth and the edge of my finger nail, it totally smoothed out. The alignment is perfect and doesn't interfere with the front camera lens. I don't use the fingerprint option on my phone but the touch sensitivity seems normal. Overall very happy with this purchase and is protecting my Asus ROG Phone 5s's screen protected. Arrived quickly within a few days and was priced well, thank you!

Screen protector is great installation is very easy and straightforward the alignment tool that comes with it is the reason why I bought it and I'm glad I did it's the second time I've bought this brand only downfall with it this time was the sticker for removing dust left part of the sticker behind and the glue behind so had to rewash clean off and just go without that step
