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.

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.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
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.

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

Guys, I got my nexus 4 a few days ago any it's been awesome!! Today I dropped my phone any it got scratched!! The scratch is slightly noticeable when the screen is on and very bright! I can also see a rainbowish effect (very very small) when the screen is on!! Is there any way to hide this scratch!! Please please help me out!!! Thank you!!

Don`t think you can hide it with a screen protector, but you could try. Maybe it will look a bit better. Best way would be to have the screen replaced. Didn`t you use a case or bumper? It is a glassy phone proned to shatter on impact.
Did you even try Google? If it's not as bad as the one in the linked guide, just cover it with a scratch protector and you won't be able to notice it.
Alright, I am using a poetic borderline with my nexus, I ordered a nillkin screen protector... Hope it works!!!

Okay, the screen protector turned out to be matte and it just made the scratch look worse. Ordering a wet install screen protector soon.. Any idea if they will work?? I can feel the scratch when I run my finger nails over it and it is clearly visible outdoors!!

ever since the first drop which also broke my screen I always use a case right I'm using spigen slim armor also I'm first to vote
I feel like the case is mandatory on this phone. One of my only complaints about it. I wish I could get away from using a case because the size feels so much better that way but it just doesn't feel sturdy enough.
I've got the LG smart window case but I'm scared to use it because people saying it scratches the LG g2 screen

I also am using the "slim armor" it is a great case so far. I also have the screenmate "flex" screen protecter on the glass... amazing so far!

I don't use a case, but I do use a vinyl back and a screen protector. That's the best balance for me of protection and comfort.
I use the Seido kickstand case. It seems thin compared to the Trident Aegis case I had on my Sg2.
Body glove, not worth breaking the phone.

I went with no case for a few weeks had a minor drop ding up the corners and was pissed. So I used the quick window case and then got scratches on my screen around the quick window from little things getting caught around and under the window I guess. Since I got a warranty replacement recently its a case and screen protector just to be safe.

Incipio Brig. No better case out for this phone.
Casemate tough case. Its dope because the rubber wraps over the face just enough to cover the screen protector as well. Looks good and is still slim.
LG G2 ftw
Spigen case and bullet proof tempered glass screen protector. it works. I hit it with a hammer and it did not crack. i used more force and the protector shattered but not my screen
the phone is a bit slippery without a case.
I'll be getting a wood skin thing from these guys as soon as they're for sale. Supposedly by the end of the month. http://toastmade.com/Android.html
D30 case hands down the best there is.

It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?

From what I've read most curved glass screens require additional duct tape to hold it in place...and because they don't have any glue in the middle, it doesn't really contact the screen itself, ruining touch sensitivity.
I had a tempered glass on my s6+ it glued just fine but is it worth using

Are you using a case with it?
I've got a clear Ringke case that was 99 cents as a preorder. It just barely touches the corners of the screen protector. Doesn't seem to be pushing it up after a few days.
Had the Skinomi on for one day. Applied perfectly with no bubbles or lint or anything in a steam filled bathroom and then let sit for a day. Shortly after putting the case on, started bunching up on 2 corners and this was the case friendly film I might add. Next day I broke down and went to ATT store and put the curved plastic protector they had there. Better than nothing and plays well with my case.
Problem with that is not every case is the same. Sounds like your case goes farther up on the screen than mine. Which case had issues with the Skinomi?
