Supposedly electroplated and anti-fingerprint. Coverage seems good and around the same as Ai Tie Tie from KeYoKe's pics. Oleophobic coating is great and install was fuss free with provided tool.
2. Lens Protector:
Price - $4.49, CNY 18.9 without shipping.
Rating - 2/5, I do not recommend

Install was difficult as there's no alignment tool. A speck of dust got under my protector as I had to realign. Arguably user error. Lots of reflections when cameras are pointing at light source (I did a before & after installation comparison, taking a pic of my monitor light bar).
On the bright side, you can hardly tell it's on. It's also definitely glass, and has an oleophobic coating. Expensive for what it is though.
If you want to get it for peace of mind, I recommend getting the variant with an install tool at CNY 22.9.
3. Stock Cases, green and grey:
Price: $7.72 for both, ~$4 for one, CNY 34.80 without shipping.

Fits well, cases are grippy albeit a little thin. I bought because I really, really like the colours. 0.5 deducted because only the corners are raised to lift screen off of surfaces, not all around. Good alternative to OEM Sandstone casing for people who prefer fully soft cases, instead of polycarbonate back and TPU borders.
