Current Best S7 Edge Screen Protector?

So I had my s7 edge completely naked for a while with just a dbrand skin (stupid, I know). I eventually dropped it and after a horrible two-week process I finally have it back and fixed. I've been looking at cases and screen protectors, but the reviews are so biased it's hard to tell what's good. Currently, I'm looking at a case from "carved" (it's my first post so I can't post their link). They're very stylish but have no bumper over the screen so I will definitely need a screen protector. Obviously, tempered glass is best but there seem to be no good covers in that regard. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear what you're using on your s7 edge (both cases and screen protectors)!

I use a stilgut ultra thin flip case, I tried a plain tpu screen protector and i consider myself an expert at installation for those things and the weird corners would pull up and even 1 edge i didnt want any dirt getting under it so i use the flip case that covers the bare screen without protector.

im using this screen protector http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Curv...851711?hash=item3abf325bbf:g:e8YAAOSwYmZXDYtx and this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Poetic-Revo...hash=item236daa365b:m:meyHa-dwSsHGbglEUNxCTmA, it doesnt add alot of bulk in my opinion and feels great

Skinomi full body for me, no problem.

Several drops about 5 or 6 times mostly on ceramic surface and there is no damage what so ever to the phone nor the case.

I've just come from an S4 to an S7. I'm used to tempered glass protectors, because they're super easy to apply and give the feeling of a premium screen + that added protection. However, I was unable to find a decent tempered glass screen for the edge. The first one didn't fit properly, and left ridges which made the edge panel unpleasant to use. The second one was too thick, and the edges were being caught by my plastic Spigen case. The third felt fragile when applying it and cracked within a few days of just being in my pocket. All of the other ones were basically square and therefore the edges weren't covered at all. I gave up at that point.
I didn't want a PET film screen. I've used them for years, going all the way back to a 5800 XpressMusic, also on my S1 and my Nexus 4, and usually with horrific results. They scratch easily, they lift easily, they never tend to sit right which means you get dust patches in the corners and their light output is usually awful, especially the gloss ones. Give them a few months, and the light output will be unbearable due to the amount of scratches..
Step foward.... TPU Screen Protectors There's a guy selling two for £2.45 on eBay delivered. These things are a bloody revelation to me, I'd never heard of them until I got this phone. I can't believe people are persevering with the tempered glass screens for the Edge. These babies really are the way forward for this phone. The TPU is basically elastic which means it covers the edges perfectly, and it is thin enough not to be caught or interfered with by my case. Supposedly, the TPU is self-healing: basically light and medium scratches effectively disappear thanks to the elasticity of the plastic filling in the gaps, and I can see what they mean. A normal PET Protector for me, would usually be scratched all over by now, yet this TPU protector, you really wouldn't know that it was applied at all. It's completely spotless. No bubbles either which I've only ever achieved with tempered glass protectors. In fact, the only way you can tell this protector is applied at all, is because you can see the pre-cut holes for the camera and sensors at the top. Check out the light output too!!! The only thing that comes close is a tempered glass protector, and I would even go as far as saying this TPU one might even be better!!! (because it has less light reflection)
Tempered glass protectors maybe the hot fashion at the moment, but honestly, I don't think you can go far wrong with the TPU ones for this phone. I am aware that tempered glass protectors give a layer of impact protection too, but that's for you to decide. How many times have you smashed your screen etc? Do you really need that impact protection? If you do, would a standard TPU case be enough, or is the glass protector important....
Edit: @sa3d12 has linked to the case I'm using, the Spigen one.

Thanks all for the recommendations, this has really helped my search

The process that I went through to get my phone fixed took so long and was so horrible that I REALLY dont want to break it again and I want to make sure I have good protection. The TPU protectors look pretty cool though, and ill look for some!

I can explain this to you in full.
That's because most of us had used those TPU screen protectors for several years before the tempered glass screen protectors came out and the tempered glass screen protectors are a giant leap forward over TPU/film/wet application style screen protectors. This was before we were forced into curved edge screens. You see, before the large screen devices were basically only the Samsung Note series which all had very large screens that were flat and tempered glass screen protectors were absolutely the best option, especially using the S Pen, the TPU protectors are rubbery and there are indentations and marks left on them that doesn't happen on glass. Additionally if you ever drop your phone on it's screen with the TPU/film type protectors your screen is still trashed. I have personally had multiple phones with tempered glass screen protectors that had the protector shattered but the screen underneath was left pristine. Also the responsiveness and accuracy of the pressure sensitive spen functionality just is horrible with a film type screen protector but is perfect with glass.
With the Note 5, S6 Edge Plus people could still get a 5.5" + screen with the compatibility of a tempered glass screen protector.
Fast forward and suddenly Samsung decided that to get a 5.5-5.7 inch screen you must also get a curved edge screen starting with the S7 Edge/Note 7. So now everyone is looking for the superior look/feel/protection of the tempered glass screen protector and none of the manufacturers seem to be able to produce one that actually fits, adheres correctly and stays put without allowing dust and crap underneath them. None of them work well which is why this and many other threads like it exist. Nobody is debating the superiority of the tempered glass over the TPU screen protectors. Tempered glass is simply better in all regards. The fact you just now suddenly found a TPU screen protector and have fallen in love with it and can't figure out why we haven't all just done that is not a new paradigm. You simply missed out on years of crappy TPU screen protectors to put into perspective just how much better glass is, because getting one to fit properly was never an issue prior to 2016.
Welcome to the past. Don't drop that phone on it's screen. You'll be peeling your TPU screen protector up to reveal a smashed screen and then be like the rest of us......angry that large screen device manufacturers like Samsung have fallen in love with a mostly gimmicky non-functional curved edge screen in exchange for being robust and functionally sound.

Wow, that's some reply lol. A few things though:
-I think you're asserting that TPU protectors were the norm before Tempered Glass protectors. They weren't, certainly not in my experience. Everyone and their dog were using PET film protectors before tempered glass ones came out. I'd say those who used TPU were probably in the minority really. Tempered Glass protectors are of course the best option, but quite evidently, we're struggling to find ones that actually fit nicely.
-I am very happy with tempered glass protectors that fit, but ultimately, the ones I bought don't. I've settled for a TPU protector because it actually looks nice and feels fine.
-Dropping your phone doesn't always result in a smashed screen. If you've got a case on it, you might be lucky. I dropped my phone many a time with a PET film and it survived. That's the case for you.
Nobody forced you to buy a Samsung Edge phone dude? The standard S7 is not curved and is considered by some to be a better phone than the Edge. Or you could have had an LG G5 or the Pixel phone? Sounds like you're suffering a bit of buyers remorse here. Get an S7 and your glass protector then be happy

@skezza, fast forward 4 1/2 months, and I'm curious how your TPU screen protector is holding up. I just got an S7 Edge, and so I'm in the market for a good screen protector. Right now, Armorsuit's "self healing" TPU protectors are going for under $8, so even if it only lasts a few months, that's not a bad deal.
TIA!

So just to be clear, you decided to hop on a thread about screen protectors, basically call everyone foolish for wanting impact protection, and then suggest that we get a different phone? What?!?
Most of us chose the S7 edge because of the many hardware advantages over other phones. The curved screen was something we were willing to put up with because the hardware was so great. It's not crazy to want a tempered glass cover (which protects from scratches AND impact) to get full protection for our $500+ phone. If you've figured out a way to ensure your phone never lands on its face, then congratulations.
So, getting "an S7 and your glass protector then be happy" is not a solution. It's an asinine, unhelpful answer that doesn't provide a real solution.

Lol. I think I'll just leave this. You're clearly missing the point.

Just to add, I decided to have a look at my second TPU protector today and found the adhesive was not very sticky anymore. I wonder if these things have a shelf life?
Edit: The old fashioned fairy liquid trick didn't bring it back to life either, although it has reduced some bubbles.

Tempered glass?

Can anyone recommend screen protectors which can be bought in the UK?

I have purchased an S8+ recently and ordered some cheap cases and screen protectors off ebay. The problem is that they pick up fingerprints and look weird around edges where the adhesive is. Can anyone recommend and good screen protectors that can be bought in the UK? I'd prefer them to be case friendly as well. Thanks.

I use these with my Spigen thin case.
They have wings so tuck under the case stopping edge lift.

Yes, I've read about these but forgot about them! Thanks for this, will definitely get them.

The tech 21 screen protectors are really really nice. I have 1 on my S8 and it's fantastic even with fingerprints. It's very case friendly I have yet to have any issues with it yet.

I use Samsungs OEM screen protector.

I bought mine in Switzerland. It is a "Panzerglass" one. The phone already fell hard on the ground and the screen protector didn't even scratched, it also doesn't catch fingerprints easily.

I've tried quite a bit of screen protectors, invisible defender, white stone, spigen etc and I ended up returning them all. It's going to be trial and error for you; it's highly subjective and what you will like compared to others.

There is an XDA forum dedicated to the S8+ (rather than the S8), and there's an Accessories sub-forum within it where there are a number of threads dealing with screen protectors for the S8+
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories

[Question] What is a good brand of tempered glass that works and effective?

So the question is probably familiar from past phones from Sammy such as Note8 or S8/s8+ lol... The consensus from previous reads on XDA and reddit seems to be Whitestone Dome but a lot also gave negative reviews of it due it either lose touch response, or peeling off too easy. I had purchased a full adhesive from aliexpress for my Note8 but could not really use it since I sold the phone to get the S9+ . Anyone has any good recommendation for a tempered glass based on the brands they got for their previous Sammy? I mean recommendation as in, they dropped the phone with it on, like on the corners and the screen survived even though the glass shattered? Case would be great too, as I have a Supcase on the way. Thanks!!

Not the Whitestone then? I was almost about to pull the trigger on getting one for the S9+ but I'm hesitant now.

I've been using Whitestone for myself and my kids, although it has it's fragilities (cold, an snow can alter it) its the best i've tried. I've already ordered mine for the S9+... If i were you get a couple... just in case. As once you've tested it, you won't go back on the side glued ones. You just need to glue it well, and don't be in a hurry.
I've never had issues with touch sensitivity or peeling off (that's even nuts as it's literally glued to the screen, if you break the dome and need to peel it off you should be careful as it's glued it shatters and pieces can jump).

There may be another option now and as upset as I was with the first interation of Zagg's tempered glass screen protector for the s8+, they have come out with the glass curve elite. https://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisibleshield/glass-curve-elite-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus/ They say that it has full adhesion. So if it actually works well they supply a lifetime warranty. It is 49.99 so it's expensive but I'm going to give it a shot.
Whitestone was great but with a long installation process, I went for it twice, I'm going to (no offense) pass on Whitestone for my s9+. If there was a tempered glass product for curved screens that was as easy to install as a flat screen tempered glass screen protector, and like a conventional screen protector has good full glass adhesion I'm going to go for that option.

I have tried almost 5 brands but still did not get satisfactory result.

Just pre ordered the white stone. It was the best on the note 8.

Upgrading from two S7 edge to two S9+ (already pre-ordered) I never tried tempered glass on my smartphones because I found them a little too expensive to justify given that I have to buy two glass protectors. The OTAO 3D glass protector looked to be an "inexpensive" way to give tempered glass a try, but someone on the S9 thread about Screen Protectors complained about the OTAO falling off his phone whenever he took it out of his pocket. Some folks have also mentioned that this protector doesn't fully cover the curve edge which makes it "case friendly", but this also make it less appealing. These two negative findings put some doubt in my mind about ordering this specific protector for now. Folks using the S8+ have given this protector a "good" review on Amazon. But I also don't know if most of these reviews are for the "old" version or for the "Updated" version on this protector for the S8+. If there's someone here that has used the "Updated" OTAO protector on a Galaxy phone with a curved screen (preferably the S8+)... can you tell us about your experience? I guessthe "Updated" version is the one being used for the S9+.
I have used Zagg's Invisible HD shields on all my smartphones. I found them to be durable and compatible with many cases. Including cases for the S7 edge.Installing them is a little complex and you need to get it right the first time in order to avoid bubbles and the edges from lifting. I had to return the one that I installed on my wife's S7 edge once because a corner kept lifting and getting dust under it. All I had to do was return the old one and they send me a new one. Once I installed the replacement correctly, it has stayed on her phone for over a year without any issues. I'm waiting for it to be available in Amazon as they're usually discounted. The Zagg website indicates that they're sold out of their Invisible HD shield for the S9+

OTAO have two versions, a case-friendly one, which has to leave a couple of areas exposed for the case to fit, and a full cover one. I have had the case friendly one on my S8 and been very pleased with it. Never popped off. One person complaining his came off should not be taken to be evidence that there is something inherently wrong. There could be two reasons - either his was slightly faulty with not enough glue - no company has 100% quality control - or maybe he didn't press it on hard enough when he fitted it.
I've had two. The first one cracked when I dropped the phone on a marble floor but the phone screen was unmarked. Even though it cracked, it did not pop off. The edges still stuck. The second one is still on the phone.

Thanks for your reply... The complains put "some doubt" in my mind about the protector, I had not concluded that there was something inherently wrong with the OTAO. I posted here because I wanted to hear comments from other folks before I made my decision.
I didn't know that OTAO also made a protector that fully covers the screen, but after you mentioned it... I searched further and also found the OTAO Full Screen Coverage - Double Strong 3D in Amazon. At the same $12 price as the Case Friendly. At this price point, I might get one of each and test them with the case I'm going to use. I'm looking for a slim TPU cases from Spigen, EasyAcc, ESR and Caseologic. Currently, I use a Ringke Slim case with my S7 edge, but given the larger screen size of the S9+; I'd like a more protective setup. What case are you using on your S8 with the OTAO case friendly protector?... Thanks again.

For my gs8+, I've had good experiences with both the Otao TGSP and the newer full-adhesive ones.
Until a full-adhesive TGSP comes out for the gs9+ from a company I recognize, I'm gonna start with the Otao gs9+ TGSP.

I have had the case friendly one on my S8 and been very pleased with it. Never popped off. One person complaining his came off should not be taken to be evidence that there is something inherently wrong. There could be two reasons - either his was slightly faulty with not enough glue - no company has 100% quality control - or maybe he didn't press it on hard enough when he fitted it.
I've had two. The first one cracked when I dropped the phone on a marble floor but the phone screen was unmarked. Even though it cracked, it did not pop off. The edges still stuck. The second one is still on the phone.

I also have an OTAO on my Note 8 - fits beautifully - holds very well - smooth - full responsiveness - no issues at all.

What version of the OTAO are you using on your Note 8 [Case Friendly] or [Full Screen Coverage]? Are you using the "Updated" version that I believe has "full-adhesive"? Are you also using a case and if so... which one?

So the question is probably familiar from past phones from Sammy such as Note8 or S8/s8+ lol... The consensus from previous reads on XDA and reddit seems to be Whitestone Dome but a lot also gave negative reviews of it due it either lose touch response, or peeling off too easy. I had purchased a full adhesive from aliexpress for my Note8 but could not really use it since I sold the phone to get the S9+ . Anyone has any good recommendation for a tempered glass based on the brands they got for their previous Sammy? I mean recommendation as in, they dropped the phone with it on, like on the corners and the screen survived even though the glass shattered? Case would be great too, as I have a Supcase on the way. Thanks!!

I'll be working on a buyers guide today and tomorrow it will be on my channel.. In the mean time I posted a thread about a 10 dollar dome glass copy from the supplying factory and their are a few full adhesive glass protectors I'm tested.. All the others are the same generic ones just like the S8/N8

Questions on Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

Ive read afew threads and ive come to understand the differences in Screen protectors (tempered mostly) as that's what I'm going on. Also thanks to GravX for this wonderful thread of info - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...s/galaxy-s9-s9-plus-screen-protector-t3760133.
But i still have some questions that i cannot find straight answers to and maybe XDA can help me answer them:
1) Those edge adhesive tempered glass protectors - do they actually fit perfectly on S9's and allow you to use the edge of the screen - Or - does the black strip (where the glue is) on the glass cover up the usable side of the s9? I ask cause i like the curved look of the s9 - its partly the reason I bought it. Using a protector that cuts it off even slightly is unacceptable.
2) The fact that most options on Ali are edge adhesive is really putting me off - but what are the disadvantages here > Could the glass actually fall off or come loose from **** adhesive?
3) With the full adhesive glasses (which is what i want ideally) - can the glue be removed safely? There is no point in buying two if after the first drop - the glue makes the screen unusable..
I'm scouring Ali atm for full adhesive - full coverage tempered glass. If there are some XDA recommend's- please do let me know.
Much appreciated.

I got a full liquid adhesive tempered glass. It was a cheaper version of the Whitestone dome on Amazon. I much prefer it to the edge adhesive ones I've had in the past. I haven't removed it, so I can't speak to the ease of removal of the protector or the adhesive.

See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80019983&postcount=169 for the full glue tempered glass screen protector that I purchased on AliExpress. I bought two two-packs (one two-pack for my wife's and another for my S9+). Installed them several months ago and they are still working great. I would definitely buy them again. The kits do not contain an installation jig like that provided with the Whitedome, but if you watch several videos and are careful you can still get a professional installation. I did on my first try, so I still have a spare protector and glue for each of our phones. They are cheap enough (about 1/10th the cost of the Whitedome) that you can certainly try again if your first attempt isn't acceptable.

i got the liquid too, can be removed with ease if you pull it out, screen is crystal clear, no residue :highfive:

The only thing I hate about these edge adhesive screen protectors is that if you just miss just a tiny bit, you have a huge risk of dust creeping in and it gets annoying. I messed up a bit, and I paid the price lol
This happens since the screen does not stick 100% to the whole screen. Sure, you get no bubbles when installing but you can get a situation like this happen. And it gets on my nerves every time I take notice of it... which is often xD

I bought this tempered glass screen protector from amazon:https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C5...abc_0Z5CSCFC1JDNGNTPQB2B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It has stayed on my s9+ for over a year

Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector with what slim case?

Hello
Im going to buy a S10+ soon but I need to get the screen protector and case before hand...
The screen protector is obvious: Whitestone Dome Glass
The case not so much...I wanted the Spigen Thin Armor but it doesnt seem to be compatible with the Whitestone Dome Glass
I used in the past: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OSS12Z2 and it was great and worked for me.
Suggestions?

Have you looked at Armadillo Tek cases? I have one for my S10 and it works with glass screen protectors. Otterbox commuter I think it is works too as I have it on my S10+ with a hybrid glass screen protector. Finally Pelican brand cases are also glass screen protector friendly as I got one for my S10+ as well.

Tech 21 Pure Clear....10 ft drop protection and ultra slim.... I've dropped my phone many times now on various hard surfaces and no cracks or scratches....and I also have a 5 and 2 year old.....and those kids have also dropped tested my phone many times as well.....
