The best OnePlus 8T screen protectors
OnePlus 8T

There's no denying that the OnePlus 8T is one good-looking phone, whether you opt for the sleek Lunar Silver version or go bold with the vivid Aquamarine Green color. Chances are, you've already picked up one of the best OnePlus 8T cases for your new phone -- but what about that expansive 6.55-inch screen? A durable screen protector not only keeps your device's screen safe from scratches and impact, but it also keeps fingerprints, dust, and grease at bay so your phone stays looking as fresh and shiny as the day you unboxed it. No need to spend hours trawling the web for a screen protector -- we've done the hard work and rounded up some of the best screen protectors available, from film protectors to tempered glass options.

The best OnePlus 8 Pro cases to keep your phone beautiful
oneplus 8 pro review browser

The OnePlus 8 Pro is still one of the best OnePlus phones you can get, with the powerful Snapdragon 865, a quad-lens camera, and a killer matte glass body. OnePlus originally showed us what a cut-price phone with flagship specs could do, and now it's showing us what it can do with a full-on flagship price -- and it's pretty amazing.

But with official prices starting at $900, it's clear this is not a phone you're going to use and abuse. You probably want your shiny new OnePlus 8 Pro to last at least two years -- and hopefully, even longer. While nothing can ensure your phone lasts as long as you hope, a good protective case can seriously improve its chances. Here are some of the best OnePlus 8 Pro cases available right now.
