ClearPlex 'Custom' Screen Protector from Best Buy - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories

Alright, so basically Best Buy Canada claims to do a sort of custom screen protector installation for various devices including smartphones using something called ClearPlex. I am thinking about trying it on my S7 Edge when I get it but the protector costs $29.99 and I can't seem to find any reviews of ClearPlex or the ClearPlex Ultra variant (the one for curved screens) anywhere. Have any of you heard of this? I'll include the links below which are to the Best Buy Canada website (they seem to be the only ones who have it).

Thanks for sharing. I actually just found that thread on Google after posting this lol. Still wondering if anybody has tried the Ultra on an S7 or S6 edge.

Had this done March 11th when I picked up the phone. So far so good. Very clear and clean install. Took about 15-20 mins as the tech was very careful. No visible bubbles or edges peeling. It has lifetime warranty as well. Using a spider slim armor case with it and no issues so far.
Worth it to protect this expensive device.

Thank you so much for sharing! Alright I think I'm going to get it the moment I get my phone. You got the clearplex ultra right?

Not sure if it's the ultra or not. It was clear plex and was cut specifically for the phone. They charge according to the size of the device. Hopefully I don't ever need to use the warranty but read somewhere else that others have used it with no issue.
Still think it's cheap insurance for an already expensive phone. If you have seen some other threads about cracked screens and the back. Don't know if it will prevent that but hoping it will help.
I had a ballistic glass from tech armor on my old s4 and it saved my phone numerous times. My screen was actually cracked in the end but still worked because of that extra glass keeping it together.

HD vs Ultra
CLEARPLEX HD
Device screens only
Best for flat surfaces
Glassy touch
Impact protection
Scratch-resistant coating
Great for use with a stylus
Amazing optical clarity
CLEARPLEX ULTRA
Device screens and body protection
Good for curved and flat surfaces
Softer touch
Impact protection
Self-healing technology
Optimal protection against scratches and abrasions
I'd like HD if they could make it work well, the "glassy touch" sounds good.
Michael, can you check your receipt to see which you got, and talk about the feel/smoothness, and how it affects gliding your finger on the screen?
Thanks!

Also, can't figure out what's warrantied...reads like the ClearPlex protector is warrantied, no guarantees about the phone screen.

So I went ahead to gave ClearPlex a try - on my receipt it says Ultra. It goes for 29.99 before tax. I figure if I'm going to spend $30 on film protector online (i.e Spigen / Olixar / etc), I might as well get someone else to do it !!
The installation itself is quite fast, I'd say 5-10 minutes. The GeekSquad person will custom cut the film and install it meticulously (you can see from afar).
Overall I'm actually satisfied and feel that $30 is worth every penny
- Install aesthetic: I'd say I'm very impressed at the install quality. Installing film protector itself is a pain, let alone on an edge phone! Nonetheless, they did a good job with both sides sticking properly. No bubble / no misalignment whatsoever. They did proper job.
- Edge functionality: No effect at all. When swiping on the side, cudn't tell if theres a screen protector. Screen protector covers all edge screen area.
- Feel: Quite smooth! ClearPlex claims to be even more smoother than glass. No rubbery feel
Overall, I'm very happy with the process, price and tht it comes with lifetime warranty status. I mean, rather than buying $30 film protector online and trying to install at home ... I'd go get ClearPlex.
Of course it's only a bonus that ClearPlex is a well known glass protector film which is used in automotive / industrial / construction project.

Going to do this tomorrow. I'll post results...very hopeful it will turn out as good as yours. Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like this has limited availability across regions...my local (SoCal) BB doesn't have it, and doesn't know of any local stores that do. I'm going to do a little checking around, but might not be available here in California.

I just had this installed on my 7 edge and so far i'm loving it. How can it not be great, it's from "outer space".

I think it might be Canada only considering the only BestBuy links I can find are on the Canadian version of the site. Sorry my American Android bro. I've updated the wording in the op to reflect this.

Screen Protectors

I picked up the screen protectors that are sold through Sprint. They were $14.99and there were three in the pack.
I wanted an anti-flare protector and I have to say I have not been disappointed. I am very pleased with them so far.
They can be purchased here

My local BB didn't have any either... but they weren't sold out. The guy told me they hadn't gotten any in yet. I didn't find it on BB's website either.
Last week I sent a support ticket to Zagg via their website asking when it would be available. No answer yet. =/
Does anyone know if the Zagg for the Evo 4G was available in retail stores right when the phone launched? Or did it take a few weeks?
i'll be picking up an invisibleshield as soon as they're out. i'm not too worried about my screen getting scratched since i dedicate one of my pants pockets to it
Is the screen gorilla glass?
i don't think so, otherwise HTC would've specifically said so.
The HTC EVO Shift 4G LCD's compostion is not Corning's Gorilla Glass/CGG. Currently, the Motorola i1 and Samsung EPIC 4G are the only two wireless devices in the Sprint Nextel product line to use CGG. Head over to http: // www dot corninggorillaglass.com/ to learn more about the innovative technology of CGG and why over time I believe all wireless devices will be equipped in it.
Best buy does have them. I went to one today to get the zagg and a case. They at first said no to both. I said that's lame, you're usually right on top of that kind of stuff. I looked and found the zaggs but I needed to use the phone the rest of the day and putting it in and out of my pocket wouldn't be good because the sp needs to dry without any major disruptions to the process. I got the blue hard case with the rubber back at sprint and will get the zagg very soon.
Here's something interesting... Zagg just got back to me about the status of the invisibleSHIELD...
Hello,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are zealous about great gadgets! My name is Chris B. and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Thank you for your interest in the invisibleSHIELD! Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have an invisibleSHIELD for the HTC Evo Shift 4G. Currently there is no release schedule for this product. Please continue to check out website as new designs are released all the time.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or comments.
Thank you for choosing ZAGG! We appreciate your business.
All the best,

My previous BestBuy search failed since it doesn't say "Evo" in the product title/description. But it's definitely not a screen protector for the HTC Shift ultra-portable PC from 2008.
EDIT: Please excuse the missing hyperlink. Us n00bs can't be trusted.
I got this phone on the 6th and nobody had any anti-glare protectors, which i absolutely love on my phone. So i went to who sold them and searched out the best sized one. Came to the anti-glare Droid 2, just need to cut the volume cutout off and its a good fit. Just covering the screen, not the buttons.

They don't make or carry them eh?
paid for one on bb.com and picked it up in store since i knew nobody would know wtf it is. put it on, i either really suck at putting these on or they're insanely hard to get perfect.
I tried one over a year ago and it was such a pain that I decided to pay them to do it. Depending on the person, they can get it better than most other people can. I had them mess up one on my epic and they just pulled another one off the shelf and redid it. Not flawless but pretty damned good and much better than I could have done.
well i'll let it settle for a day or two and see if microbubbles and the liquidy look underneath the protector go away. if not i might just be taking this thing off, it's more trouble than it's worth and i bought it with a gift card anyway.
I've used Zagg and Skinomi. Skinomi hands down.

i was just about to ask how the Skinomi TechSkins are, amazon has them for 10 bucks (well for pre-order) and was thinking of giving them a try, i usually use the Zagg protectors but am willing to try something new
The TechSkin is about the same as far as application goes. Where they differ is the feel and resistance to dust.

I applied the Sprint anti-glare protector, and it looked horrible. I know some of them take a little time to git rid of air bubbles and stuff, but it looked bad and I accidentally messed one corner up when applying. So I put one of the regular protectors from the same pack on and it has been fine ever since.
I do wish it covered more of the glass, not just the part of the glass with the screen under it.
I bought some of those screen protectors from Sprint also. I'm pretty good with putting them on, so that wasn't a problem at all. But wow, I put the anti-glare screen protector on and it made the screen look horrible. It really takes the "crispiness" out of the screen. When I got home, I immediately took that one off and put one of the regular screen protectors on that came in the sprint screen shield package.
I put the anti-glare protector on pretty much as soon as I started playing with the phone. After reading your guys comments I decided to take it off.
Man what a difference!

[75% OFF][Screen & Full body protectors][PIX] XtremeGUARD SALE sitewide

EDIT: NOTE(s): When you receive these they come packaged in a generic mailer envelope, nothing fancy, no retail packaging. Important, the packaging may contain "black specs", make sure you rinse super thoroughly before attempting to install or you will get these stuck under the protector and be sad. Once you've got it lined up and installed, let it dry, it may make your device non-responsive to touch. It seems the N7 has very little margin/sensitivity and the liquid impairs electrostatic conductivity and doesn't register touches with most wet application protectors until it's 100% dry. It should work without issues after 24/48 hours depending on your climate.
FOLLOWUP: Here's a picture of mine installed and drying about 36 hours later.

There is very minimal orange peel with these screen protectors IMO. With these, I have to get it at just the right angle under a light to even notice it on my Galaxy Nexus. They are miles better than zagg when I tried them. I would say they are very similar to xo skins, but cost a lot less. For $3.75, you'll get two of them now. You don't have much to lose .

+1 for less than the cost of lunch at McDonalds you can have two shipped to you.
Most important of all is the type and quantity of the soap you use to install, use as little as possible, as it may cloud, rainbow and or leave permanent gray bubble marks on the protector if it's too strong and left to soak too long. I do not notice any orange peel effect, it's comparable to Skinomi in feel and effect. *Zagg brand has this problem, I still have my Nook Color one sealed in it's pack I was considering using on the N7. Although it only covers the touch/screen portion. Lucky I didn't have to. And it cost me $24.
I will say that it's a matter of personal preference. If you're not a fan of wet install, rubbery feel, loss of some clarity (think semi-anti-reflective) for protection. This may take time to get used to, but at least at this price you can test that.. YMMV
Truthfully I would have bought Skinomi if they would have been this cheap, this is the next best option. IMHO.
Hope that helps,

P.S. I have these installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3, Motorola Atrix 4G and bought some for my Samsung Focus as well. I got a dozen of these for the SGS3 at 80% OFF when it was released. I have installed it on a workmate's SGS3 and will install them on two others once they get theirs.

Nice, I hope they work out for you as they have for me. Remember if you have any problems for any reason with them, you can contact their customer service which offers you replacement or no hassle refund. I know this as I had an issue with my initial order missing the back portions of the full body and they actually sent me out my replacement order twice and still offered me a refund if I chose.

So the loss in clarity is just that it's a little more reflective, not an actual decrease in vibrancy and color? If that's it, I'll definitely be ordering a few. That's a price for generic protectors and if these are high quality it's a bargain. Either way, it has to be better than the horrible universal one I cut out that I bought at Walmart that I, ironically, paid $15 for.
thanks for the info! I used the code and 2 for 3.75 is great! I've never heard of the company but for that price I'm willing to try them. For my phones I've used steinheil and ghost armor (had it on my gnex but took it off because i like how it looks without it) but ghost armor is clear too. I might put one back on the gnex since i have 3 more haha. either way thank for the info
I purchased few.

Awesome! I picked up several protectors for everyone I know!
I just ordered about 30mins ago one for my Nexus 7 and Droid 3 but the code didn't go through. Sent an email off to them because it won't let me edit the order I hope I can get the code applied cause that would save $13 lol

info on the illusive "Bodyglove Case"

Normally these kind of things are not worthy of a thread but I had a hard time finding this case so hopefully I can help with this thread.
As of today, you can not find this on ebay, amazon, or other web stores found through google search
The only known website that has this is sprint.com and bodyglovemobile.com and they are both out of stock. I saw them in stock around 11/12 on both site so it's not those "we haven't updated our website" thing. It really is out of stock.
I called 7 official sprint stores in Los Angeles and only one store has it.
If you have a hard time finding it. Do a search on yelp and call around your local official Sprint store and refer to part number CZS5478Q. Non-official store are not owned by sprint so they will mostly not carry this accessory, don't waste your time on those.
The price is $24.99 + tax, sprint store currently has a 20% on entire accessory order if you buy 2 or more accessories. If you get a $9.99 screen protector you will end up paying $27.94 + tax. Just something to think about.
This case will fit Sprint, ATNT, TMobile version of the Note II and very likely international version as well. I believe there are also T-Mobile version and ATNT version of the bodyglove however I find the sprint model most pleasing to my eye.
Last thing I want to add is that this case is very slim. Doesn't add too much thickness like generic ebay tpu cases. The protruding protection edge to the screen is only about 1mm.
photos are not from me but from another XDA member cac9478 all credit goes to him for the wonderful photos.

Nice pictures... and firearms :good:
How does the back feel in the hand? Looks like kind of a rough texture.
Back feels great. It's not as slippery as the battery door. This thing is also super slim; exactly what I wanted. Better grip and a little extra protection without added bulk. Only thing less bulky would be a skin. If you're prone to phone drops this may not provide the best protection but I'm careful with my toys so I'm not worried. Had my friend who works for sprint pick one up for me. Saved me a few bucks

feels great, I change phone and naturally the case as well.
The embedding diamond pattern is about 1/4mm for the "height".
It is not rough on the hand.
This is the best tpu case that I ever purchased.
Looks very nice. Going between this and the Blue/Black Seidio Active Case w/ Kickstand. Called all the local Sprint stores, no stock. I have a cheap $3 case on my Note 2 right now that I will keep using until I can get a hold of something better.
Here is a link on Sprint's Webpage if anyone needs it.

Ok, just found one (the last one) in a local Sprint store. Still interested in finding this online though. My girl will want one of these for sure!!
Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I did manage to grab the last one at my local sprint store and grabbed one and I am happy with it. Wish the edges were a little firmer but it feels nice and doesn't add any bulk. HATE paying 25 for a thin piece of plastic but i guess it is what it is.

Here you go (its indeed a nice case): Body Glove Refined Gel - #CZS5478Q
Does this case fit nice and tight? I have a nillkin and I like how tight it fits, anyone had both that can compare them?
Looks like the link has been removed.
Anyone have another link?
I'm in Australia and I'm trying to get someone to buy it on my behalf but the link I gave them no longer works.

"Otterbox Commuter" Mod with a Kickstand

Otterbox offers some of the best protection cases for devices. It rarely incorporates kickstands as part of the main casing. This shows you how I managed to splice in a thin kickstand from another casing. This saves you from carrying those stands so you can watch videos hands-free.
The "Otherbox Commuter" case you see here is an exact $5 replica done by a company called Swisstech in one of their kiosk stores here in Metro Manila. The original Otterbox Commuter cost $70 retail here.

The TPU case with the kick stand actually cost more at about $9!
You can exact the process with the original Commuter case if you want to do this.
This will give you peace of mind for accidental drops but giving you that kickstand function but still as thin.
Here's the video link of the finished case:

That's a lot of work for a single position kickstand. I just attached this kickstand to my case and I love it:

Nah, the point of the project was to really put the stand inside and not be just anything that I put on to the surface of the case. The 3 hours I put into this paid of so that it can still fit into my book hiding place for the Note II.

I've been to the Philippines twice and love it. It's not that it's so dangerous that you will get robbed blindly down the street, it's that items of value are less common, so you could get swiped in the most inopportune times. In the US or other locations, it's more common to see expensive gadgets. There is a lot of poverty in the Philippines and in regions of the world like that, it's very common.
It doesn't suck because you grow up knowing that's the way things are there.
ANYWAY, back on topic. Is there any way to get a Swiss-Tech case online? Was looking and it seems there is no way to get them. I like the price and the difference in look from the "Otterbox".
I'm all for making mods where necessary, but a similar case with a stand already built in seems easier.
This one is $7. My wife and I have them in different colors. They're great.

There's none, as I mentioned. There are even different color variants of the silicone part of this like pink, blue, red, yellow and white.

Nice but it doesn't ship to my country and it would take almost 2 months to arrive if it does!

Ya shipping cost sucks however I was able to get 3 for $13 including shipping with a coupon.
yeah, 4-5 bucks delivered isn't bad, but anything more is silly
Id just go for a otterbox defender case. Super tough case plus the clip on the holsters locks open if you want to become a stand.. on the down side this case does make it a bit bulky but still protects it extremely well. .

Yes, there are reasons why is choose the Commuter over the Defender. One thing is the difficulty of changing the battery and taking out the micro SD card. I'd not be using that holster that much either. Where would I store that? I'm trying hard to conceal the Note, not actually show it off on my waist.

Not saying you wanna show it off. I only use it because I work on construct ion sites and it offers superior protection ......

I can understand needing the Defender in a construction site. I'm an architect.

I know it's against the rules to sell anything on the forums. But you should be good on the giveaways.
Also if you decide to giveaway the otter box I'd love to have it so I have a super protective option.
U got any more cases
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I knew I wasn't "crazy" and alone in having 3 or 4 cases usually for my phones for the particular need I have at that day/moment. Powered cases, hard cases and cases that are somewhat "my children proof". I've had, mm, 8 or 9 Android devices, maybe more and the kids have managed to spill or pour drinks on 5 of them. My 1 year old even threw (literally threw) my HTC ONE X into a bucket of water.. Plop.. HA, oops.. Counting, XOOM can't be mobile, needs to be connected to power to work after water spillage on it. 2 Nexus 7s (2012 models, my 2013 model is hands off) don't have working USB plugs now, but I can charge them via the dock and POGO pins. A Samsung Galaxy S was water damaged, wifi doesn't work, forget if sim card works. Some motorola phone that was given to us was stepped on and yet again, water spilled, for some reason my kids love mixing water and android devices. Yet they can spend 'a good time' using them for Youtube and kids games, 2 + 4 year old are their ages now. Have been Android user since 1 + 2 respectively :good:
I've only got the case that came with the international M8 and bought some ebay HK "genuine leather" case that will let me put it at various viewing angles and fold up like a wallet/purse thing so I _hope_ that manages to keep my kids at bay. May this phone be the first one that doesn't go for a swim! Oh, I hosed my LG G2, 'somehow'', use FreeGee to backup EFS, tried a particular radio, no good, did a 'simple restore'. Phone was hosed, EFS was corrupt or dead, or whatever. It was giving boot loops, constant reboots once in ROMs that worked, no wifi/sim.
I finally have it at a state, it is in either a LG or KK ROM as I want, 20 minutes to restore JB Stock ROM or so, and upgrade if wanted, but no radio/sim/wifi which sometimes reboots. I'll play with it if and when I finally find myself not glued to the M8 at any true spare time (No kids, not on motorbike, not doing stuff with tablets or PC). Hopefully, August, heh heh heh.
