screen advice

has anyone here used the TMOBILE "in the box" screen protector ?
mine already had a thin film protector and a spare one in the box ... been using it with thin film one since last few weeks and i am not completely sure if i should change it
any experiences / advice would be highly appreciated ...

those in box protector are useless, get dented even with the stylus !

Tempered glass question

Are there any tempered glass screen protectors that cover the whole glass screen or most of it?

Most of it. As note r display is curved at edge no matter what protector you use cant cover whole. I am using gorilla glass 3 screen protector. Most probably 25mm thick.

Seems weird to use a Gorilla 3 protection on a screen that is Gorilla 4

I've got a 0.18 mm tempered glass protector, it does cover most of it, but as @fahad2mail said, due to the curve at the edge there will be no tempered glass that cover the whole note 4. But who knows if there will be one in the future.

I have a tempered glass screen protector but the halo effect is horrible, I've only left it on there as it's keeping the screen pristine.

What is this halo effect people are talking about. I'm sorry perhaps a dumb question. But thought I'd ask.

You see the bubble around the edge? That's halo effect.

Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I get that a little around the edges but I find removing grease and contaminats off via a little bit of IPA mixed with water allows it to sit tight with little "halo" effect.
My current Supashieldz b ( $6.99 ) from fleabay has minimal halo effect.

No screen protector?

Do you guys think that the S7 edge screen is good enough to go without a screen protector?
Asking because I bought one yesterday and the side of it has a lot of dust already. So not sure if I want to have a screen protector on it. Or can someone recommend a good protector for the edge.

What does dust have to do with not wanting a screen protector?
None of my phones will ever be "naked". I usually get Spigen products but their screen protectors didn't have good ratings for the S6 Edge so now I don't know.

I just want something for my edge don't be so slippery.. I have to figure it out which one ... Some advices ?

The sides of the protector keep raising up and collecting lent and dust. I thought this would probably be more of a problem with the edge since the screen curves. That's why I thought maybe to not have one on it.

Link or release days?

is it gonna be rare to see tempered glass with full protection over the curve?

Not using one, saw a few drop and scratch tests, and it seems to be scratch resistant. Just using a case.

In another thread someone reached out to zagg. There estimating sometime in July lol so yeah I wouldn't wait too long for that to happen

I've ordered some dirt cheap tpu screen protectors but not too sure how well they fit until they arrive. The reviews were really good but they could be fake seeing as not many people have the phone. I'll wait and see.

They will be coming. For the S6E, it took a while b/c of the learning curve. The S7E glass should be coming out much faster.
I've been using glass on my S6E for about 7 months now.

I got a plastic one on right now but have a colour matched glass one arriving today

I havent decided on a screen protector yet, maybe i'll just use a slim case, or tempered glass on the back, but not sure about the screen tbh...

I remember taking nails and trying to scratch the old iPhone when they first came out with gorilla glass just to show people how tough it was... We are on gorllia glass 4 now. I'd be far more worried about cracking the glass than scratching it...

Well, I own the s6 edge plus and I managed to get a ton of microscratches on the screen. That said, I only see the scratches in direct sunlight with it not really being visible indoors. This time around, I might go with a screen protector to avoid those microscratches. I'm assuming this is the same GG4 used on the front of the edge plus.

I just want something for my edge don't be so slippery.. I have to figure it out which one ...?

Now i must say, thats one gorgeous Galaxy... I'm impressed

If you want some extra grip, look at slickwraps or dbrand skins for front and back coverage.

The gorrilla glass is softer than previous versions. I recommend looking up loca and fully adhesive temp glass. I use cheap cheap screen protectors and use the uv glue to place em Looks great and fills the scratches. My screen is damaged from a fall and looks beutiful

Note 10 Plus Screen Protectors

Received this clear protector from gadgetshieldz today. Here is a quick review about the product, the back protector and the camera protector fit precisely and gives this invisible look for a price of 11$. It will protect your device from minor scratches and fingerprint smudges.
https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/galaxy-note-10-plus-screen-protector.html

Is the front case friendly and is it orange peel like in appearance like typical wet screen protectors?

anyone try the glass protectors with the uv glue?

If you are talking about the Whitestone Dome, then yes. It fits the phone perfectly and the fingerprint sensor also works perfectly. Follow the directions carefully and watch their youtube video before installing!

I agree. I just put mine on and works and looks great. Definitely follow the instructions and watch the video

I'm using PanzerGlass and it's fit perfect, case friendly, but I hate that "hole" for fingerprint sensor.. There isn't one on Dome glass, or?

No there isn't a hole with the dome glass. I had the panzerglass as well with my S10+. The hole didn't bother me too much and was for me a nice guidance to the fp. But I can imagine that people dislike the hole.

Post pics if possible?

Full adhesive tempered glass that works with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
For your viewing pleasure

The Whitestone is pretty good but messesul the fingerprints . Found it cracks easily too but worth it for the security

I have been using these for a couple weeks, VERY impressed. I dont like the dome glass, and most films dont feel smooth. These are film, but feel very slick.

XClear 3 Pack Screen Protector Designed for Galaxy Note 10 Plus / Note 10 Plus 5G (2019) [Case Friendly] TPU Film Anti-Scratch HD Protector Compatible Samsung Galaxy Note10+ / Note 10+ 5G - Pack of 3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VTXQNMM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_twBuEbTK593V7

I'm currently rocking the zagg glassfusion. Its actually a plastic screen protector that I can honestly say takes a impact and have had no issues with touch sensitivity nor the fingerprint scanner. My only complaint is that it's not a completely clear protector as it has a black rim that goes around it. And the front facing camera is not covered instead I now have a black ring around where the camera sits. Otherwise great protector. I'm a traveling service tech. And my clipboard sliding forward and landing on my note 8 was eventually the demise of it with a total of three impacts to screen.... so far this glassfusion has taken two hard impacts from said clipboard. Without even a scratch....love the protector they just need it to be completely clear.

Whitestone has been near prefect so far using Supcase Unicorn Beetle pro I had to slightly file down the top corners of the case to prevent glass pulling up

Been using mine for 5 months now without a screen protector and not a scratch on it.
I haven't dropped it much though
