Screen protector for the Librem 5

On the Librem 5, I’d like to see what our options are for screen prospectors… Does anyone have an idea on what screen protector is used (even if it’s for another device)? As long as it fits and has a privacy filter, tempered glass material, or both as a tempered glass privacy screen protector.

I noticed this one online. Amazon sells it too.

In the meantime I thought I read somewhere that the phone ships with a screen protector already installed?

Also be aware that the screen size has changed.

I dit find some soft screen protector, but did anyone have find a glass screen protector?

There are two available:

These two were probably designed for Dogwood which is 150mm long, so they will be short for Evergreen which is 153mm. In my opinion, it is better to wait until they are redesigned for Evergreen. More info: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Tested-Accessories#screen-protectors

I should mention here something I didn’t know myself until talking with the rest of the team. Both the screen protectors that come on the Librem 5 are intended to be removed (typically when you remove the top one, the bottom one comes along with it naturally). They are just there to protect the screen during shipping.

Mine’s still going strong. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey, if you want to keep it on, go for it. Just some of them I’ve noticed (including mine) had pieces of dust underneath that really stand out, which takes away from just how nice this display is.

Mine was so clear and well-applied I didn’t even know it was there until I viewed the screen under different lighting. I hope Purism will stock these and other accessories soon, btw. :slightly_smiling_face:

We do stock a privacy screen, screen protector that acts a lot like laptop privacy screens in terms of restricting the viewing angle so people can’t shoulder surf as easily.

Hey Kyle, Gardiner mentions this in his review is that the same issue the dust under the protective screen?

Yes, that screen is supposed to be removed. It’s just intended to protect the screen during shipping.

I received an e-mail from Celicious on 02/02/21 confirming that their robust line of screen protectors and privacy screens for the Librem 5 are sized for the Aspen/Birch/Chestnut/Dogwood batches with the 150mm long case, so that they will be usable but slightly short for use on the 153mm long Evergreen case.

Everyone who is interested, please ask Celicious to offer products for the Evegreen with the 153mm.case. I put in my pitch to them.

Celicious Customer Service reported to me on 02/08/22 that their screen products are made by ViaScreens who will be making Librem 5 products for the 153mm case available on their website in the next few days.

I tried going to ViaScreen’s website, but my Firefox browser returned a security warning about an invalid certificate and I choose not to make and exception.

Waiting to hear from Celicious when they expect to have the longer Librem 5 products available.
