OPPO A79 5G Cases & Screen Protectors: Complete Guide

The OPPO A79 5G is one of the older A-series models in this batch, but its large FHD+ display, 5000mAh battery and 5G connectivity still make it a perfectly practical everyday phone. Protecting an older device can be good value if it helps you keep using it comfortably for longer.

1. Confirm the exact model before ordering

OPPO identifies the Australian model as OPPO A79 5G (CPH2557). Make sure the device name matches before ordering because A-series accessories are not interchangeable.

1. Open Settings.
2. Open About device or About phone.
3. Check the device name and model information.
4. Make sure it matches OPPO A79 5G before ordering a case or screen protector.

Small changes in screen dimensions, camera layout and button placement can make accessories for a similar OPPO model fit incorrectly.

2. OPPO A79 5G at a glance

The A79 5G stands apart from several newer A-series models by using a higher-resolution FHD+ display and a large 6.72-inch panel.

• 6.72-inch LTPS LCD: FHD+ 2400 × 1080 resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate.
• 680-nit brightness: OPPO markets it as a Sunlight Display for everyday outdoor use.
• Twice-reinforced Panda cover glass: Adds built-in durability while a protector handles replaceable surface wear.
• 50MP main + 2MP secondary camera: A case helps protect the rear camera area and surrounding body.
• 5G connectivity: The octa-core platform supports Australian 5G bands and everyday mobile use.
• 5000mAh battery: Supported by 33W SUPERVOOC charging.
• Approximately 193g and 7.99mm: A grippy case can make the relatively large phone easier to handle one-handed.
• Expandable storage and dual stereo speakers: Practical features that help keep the device useful over a longer ownership period.

3. A large FHD+ display is worth preserving

At 6.72 inches and 2400 × 1080 resolution, the A79 5G has a sharper screen than several lower-resolution A-series successors. A clean protector can help keep that display free from the micro-scratches that gradually make an older phone look tired.

A case and screen protector protect different parts of the phone: the case helps with grip, corners, edges and the rear camera area, while the screen protector creates a replaceable layer over the display.

4. Case options for OPPO A79 5G

MEZON currently offers both crystal-clear and black slim TPU gel cases for this model. Clear keeps the original phone colour visible; black creates a more understated finish.

4.1. Clear TPU gel case

• Transparent finish: Keeps the original design visible.
• Flexible TPU: Adds grip and helps absorb everyday knocks.
• Slim profile: Provides protection without the bulk of a heavy-duty case.
• Precise cut-outs: Designed around the camera, buttons, speakers and charging port.
• Raised protection: Helps reduce direct contact around the screen and camera area.

A black TPU version is also available in the OPPO A79 5G collection.

5. Five screen protector options

MEZON currently gives OPPO A79 5G owners a genuine choice between three film styles and two tempered-glass formats.

5.1. Ultra-clear film

The 3-pack ultra-clear film is the simplest low-profile option. It keeps the screen glossy and adds very little thickness while providing everyday scratch protection.

5.2. Anti-glare matte film

The 3-pack matte film reduces reflections and makes fingerprints less visible. The trade-off is a slightly softer, less glossy display finish.

5.3. Hydrogel film

The 3-pack hydrogel film is thin and flexible, with close screen coverage and excellent compatibility with cases.

5.4. Case-friendly tempered glass

The 2-pack case-friendly tempered glass gives you a hard 9H surface while deliberately leaving more clearance around the perimeter for a closely fitted case.

5.5. Full-cover tempered glass

The 2-pack full-cover tempered glass extends farther towards the display edges and suits users who prefer broader hard-glass coverage.

6. Which screen protector should you choose?

Protector	Main advantage	Best for
Ultra-clear film	Very thin glossy protection	Minimal visual change
Matte film	Reduced reflections and visible fingerprints	Bright environments and anti-glare preference
Hydrogel film	Flexible close coverage with minimal thickness	Case compatibility and a low-profile feel
Case-friendly tempered glass	Hard 9H glass with extra perimeter clearance	Tightly fitted cases
Full-cover tempered glass	Broader hard-glass coverage	Users who prefer a rigid glass surface

There is no single best option for everyone. Choose ultra-clear film for minimal visual change, matte film for glare reduction, hydrogel for flexible low-profile coverage, or tempered glass if you prefer a harder screen surface.

7. Installation tips & common mistakes to avoid

A good protector can still look poor if dust or alignment problems get underneath it. Take a few extra minutes during installation.

• Wash and dry your hands before starting.
• Work on a clean, stable surface away from open windows and fans.
• Clean the display thoroughly with the supplied cleaning materials.
• Remove every visible dust particle before exposing the adhesive side.
• Check the top, bottom and camera/sensor alignment before applying the protector fully.
• For film and hydrogel, apply progressively and use the installation card to smooth the material across the display.
• For tempered glass, do a dry alignment check first, then lower it evenly and allow the adhesive to spread.
• Avoid repeatedly lifting and reapplying a protector because this can introduce dust and weaken adhesion.
• OPPO hides the ambient light sensor near the top of the display; avoid darkened or poor-light-transmission protector material over that area.
• If you also use a case, install the screen protector first and make sure the case edge does not push against it.

8. Practical OPPO A79 5G protection combinations

Keep the original look: clear TPU case + ultra-clear film or hydrogel.

Reduce glare: clear or black TPU case + matte film.
