Pine phone Screen Protectors

Thanks @dcinoz

My UBports CE pinephone factory screen protector was easily removed - thin, flexible and presumably plastic.

I replaced it with a much thicker, more rigid 9H tempered glass screen protector bought online that was advertised for the iPhone 11 Pro Max / Xs Max (as per wiki info).
Pretty much perfect fit - width is perfect, extends above and below top and bottom of screen no problem, avoids front camera notch and speaker 'bar'.

I'm no expert on tempered glass protectors, but hopefully the one I have is good enough, not that I want to find out. 

Sounds good. Could you post picture of your PP with your new screen protector?

The one I got is exactly the same size/fit as the 2nd photograph on post #11 (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...9#pid65409).

Mine is slightly offset as I hadn't turned the screen on to ensure it was centered properly  , otherwise looks the same.

I also used an iPhone 11 Pro Max screen protector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FP41MC5). I took a Dremel to the bottom of the alignment case so it would fit the PinePhone and used it for alignment. Fits perfectly, but I got some plastic dust along one of the edges of the protector (grr). I'll eventually redo this at some point, but not too bothered. Might at some point model a proper alignment case for the PinePhone specifically instead of relying on the cut up iPhone one.

So, I just want to get clarification....
The screen protector that now comes on pinephones from the factory... Is it the same as the "glass" one available as an accessory  in the store?

Just to follow up on this since I had been wondering the same thing: The glass screen protector from the Pine store is not the same as the preinstalled plastic screen protector. I just removed the plastic one that came preinstalled on my Manjaro CE Pinephone and put on the glass one from the Pine store. The screen looks much better now (no more of that grainy look) and it feels also more responsive. No idea how the new screen protector compares to third party ones, but it's definitely worth replacing the preinstalled one!
