In1 Nano Shield review

From the In1 website:

"Intelligent impact protection technology is constructed from combination of larger entities called "Supramolecular" which are made to assemble themselves at the moment of impact."

On to the review:

My phone had been rocking the stock factory installed screen protector. I ripped it off a couple days ago because i was tired of wiping fingerprints off it. I would have been perfectly happy leaving the screen naked if it weren't for the fact that I almost dropped my phone almost immediately after I took the first protector off. So here we are.

Application was as easy as you'd expect. Use the included stickers as hinges, peel tab A, drop into place, peel tab B. In spite of all my care and caution, I still ended up with a weird little formation of tiny bubbles in one little area, but it's not really obvious unless the screen is off. They ended up going away after a day or two. As this isn't tempered glass there is no dot matrix and it has full adhesion. Best of all, no damn rainbow in the middle of the screen.*

The in1 Nano Shield is smaller than the factory installed screen protector. It doesn't cover the entire width of the screen. You know the couple millimeters that get covered by the black border of the new curved Oneplus TGP? Thats about the same bit left completely uncovered by this product. Lengthwise it has cutouts for the fingerprint sensor, camera and earpiece. As such this should work with any and every case.

Slightly skinny size notwithstanding, I'm otherwise impressed with the overall look and feel. It's no tempered glass, but it feels a lot better than any other plastic screen protector I've had on previous phones. Colors are nice and vivid, glare under bright light is about the same as the naked gorilla glass.

I'm not sure what else there is to say about this particular product. I can't really judge if it's worth the money since it's real value is supposed to be in its resilience. While it certainly feels resilient, I'm not about to perform any drop or scratch tests on it. If I ever do accidentally drop it, or if it ever gets hit with a ball-peen hammer, ill be sure to update with the results. In the meantime the hunt for a quality edge to edge protector goes on.
