Anybody else out there really impressed with the way the screen deflects fingerprints (or at least mine does)?
I read quite a few reviews saying it was a fingerprint magnet but I don't find that to be the case.

Has anyone noticed the screen coating abrasion on the most used area of the screen? In my case right lower part as I am right handed. It is not very obvious but when you look at it with the help of ambient light reflection you notice it.

same here.. no abrasion on my DHD, i am using a screen protector as well.. i think its time you should get 1 as well...
+1 for the screen protectors, ill be fitting mine in a day or so
Have you tried a really good cleaner? might just be crud stuck to the screen from day to day use,, used to get it on my iPhone but usually 'wiped' clean
Good cleaner doesnt solve the case.I guess mine has a production defect then. Kind of defective thinner coating. I will return to HTC for replacement. Lets see how will they react.

my DHD never comes out of its otterbox so no problems here
Anyone have an tips for putting it on as I've had 0 luck with screen protectors in the past.

And why is there 2 screen protectors one coloured round the edges and one just clear?

Crisis averted. Did the ole scotch tape trick to remove the dust particles. That should be in all screen protectors instructions as it works a treat.

My general rules are (1) try to do it in a humid atmosphere, so there's less dust in the air, eg. a bathroom with a shower running, (2) to wash the back of the protector with water just before applying, and (3) try to fix errant dust motes with tape on the front to peel up a corner, and tape underneath to grab the dust, which it sounds like you've done. Personally I'm a big fan of the Brando ultra-clear protectors. Good luck!
I'm really loving the look of the phone with the colour change but the screen seems to have a kind of static look to it. Hopefully I'll get used to it as the phone looks great

I bought some SGP protectors for my S III. Well one of the kinds I bought was the ultra optics or whichever the the one that resists fingerprints is and it has almost like a texture on the screen which is kind of annoying to look at. I feel like it dulls the whole thing. I may take it off eventually and put the remaining ultra crystal I have from my i747
Really loving this screen protector.
The galaxy's s3 seems to me like it is very prone to scratches.
I always keep my phone in a pocket with nothing in it like keys or money yet I've got some pretty deep scratches on it.
I didnt get anywhere near as much with my s1, s2 or galaxy tab p1000.
Basically this screen is giving me protection and I'd even go as far as to say that it is making the scratches that I've acquired less noticeable.
Feels great too. I'm my opinion better that original screen and you have the added bonus of the anti fingerprint.
Defo recommend this

I am debating whether to use a screen protector....
No, not a single one. And I use my N7 on a daily basis (since mid July) without a screen protector.
Just get good cover for the N7 (LuvTab, Poetic, etc.) and you'll be perfectly fine.
No, but I am pretty careful with it. My phone has gorilla glass and I have a scratch on that. It aint scratch proof.
Some fine scratches that are only noticeable when the screen is off and at an angle, so nothing to worry about too much. I refuse to use protection

Had a screen protector on, looked terrible. Now I'm using it naked, but with a pouch.
No scratches yet,it's been several weeks.
I don't know but I actually prefer the look of my screen with a matte SP on. I also love the feel and the lack of fingerprints. My N7 was stolen yesterday and I bought a new one. I had a SGP Matte Ultra Fine protector on it and it is sorely missed after using the stock glass.
The fingerprints are the worst and I hate how after playing a game with a D-pad for a few, the area under your thumb starts to get tacky and hard to slide. I'm having to constantly wipe it down. I'm putting another one on there ASAP.

The glass material of the screen seems to be reliable.
My N7 previously has a AG screen-protector, but then I removed it So far there are no scratches, but probably because it is protected by a case with smart cover.
If being afraid of any scratches that N7 may have, I would suggest an AR screen-protector. Try it.
No scratches on mine. It was also over a full month before I purchased a case.
What can you do to get rid of scratches if you get them or can you?

So I was reading an article that the glass would be very difficult to fix. If I were to have broken the glass just a little and not the touch screen part, would it be true I'd have to get the whole thing fixed. If so, I feel the cheapest way to fix it would be Samsung for 169.99.

Hey forum, I just got a s7 edge and am in the market for a tempered glass screen protector.
I've hit Amazon and ebay, scammed through pics and reviews from customers and it looks like there's little to none that cover the whole screen (edges included) that are durable, adhere well and stick to the screen and if there case friendly that would be nice.... If anyone has any they'd recommend Id appreciate it.

Its to hard make them out of glass because the screen is curved. Ive haven't seen any that have gotten good ratings. A few companies like zagg have them on the way. Zagg invisible shield is my go to protector. I'm sure there are a lot of great protectors I have not tried.

Right, I've searched up and down, far and wide... All have flaws right now. I'm waiting for the zagg one, I'm Pretty sure it's gonna be legit. The luvviitt one seems alright right now but there out of stock. In the meantime I'm using a zagg invisi shield.
Thanks for the reply bud appreciate it.

Don't hold your breath for a curved glass protector, it's not going to be good. I tried two of them already lol. This damn edge screen is a curse, but I love the phone.

What Samsung needs to do is address the size of the edge screen slide or allow the option to resize

Or they could just remove it altogether. It serves no purpose for most.

Why buy the Edge if you are not interested in that feature? Why not the S7? Just curious

Don't waste your money on "tempered glass" protector. I've had two different brands and both of them lifted off the phone and cracked. None of them seem to be case friendly.

Hey papa mag, by Amy chance have you received the taken temp glass yet? I'm eager to hear what you half to say about it, this normal screen protector stuff isn't too bad but I'm eager to get my hands on a temp glass that is half decent, the zagg one should drop next month from what I hear.

Yes I did and it was a piece of cake to apply. Unfortunately I was stupid and in too big of a rush to put my case back on. I noticed that one corner of my case was hung up and while trying to fix that issue I cracked the screen protector.
I will say that it lined and matched up perfectly no issues with touch sensitivity the edge feature is less responsive. Do to my own stupidity I have another glass on the way.

F that bro. You'll be just spending money on screen protectors. I still have my Zagg shield that I had to literally cut every single corner in, in order for any of my cases to fit properly. Sucks to not have tempered glass I love it but I rather have my edges. Im looking forward to the note 6. Rumored 4000 MAh battery, and two variants. Everyone including myself will take a note with spen and the beauty of the edge screen along with s7 edge features(water resistant/SDcard). Next year there bringing out the BIG GUNS. With foldable phones. Seeing people really liked the edge I believed Samsung is ready now, back when they revealed the concept(S3) it wouldn't be a good idea, now tho im sure they perfected the technology and were ready for what will bring out next.

I got the Taken Screen protector today. Let's just say I feel "Taken". Protector went on ok and that wasn't the issue. It was a fingerprint/palm print/smudge magnet. It was so bad that I thought there was a protective cover plastic on the glass. Sadly there wasn't. There is a thin piece of sticky adhesive around the inside of the glass that is used to adhere the protector to the phone. This made a crinkly sound anytime you pressed where the adhesive was. After 15 minutes, my screen was naked again.
