I bought a really cheap film protector I had no intention of using for a template, I think I paid like 5 bucks. I also ordered the IQ Shield for the Galaxy Tab 3 to use as the protector. I screwed up the sensor holes a bit but overall it came out ok. Didn't think to look for a 1:1 template.

I can do it without but pretty sure it wont be as even as having one. Ordered a case and tempered glass but the film I have is pretty good.

Get a piece of paper tape it down to the screen and grab a pencil and rub it on the screen sideways and you'll get your outline

This one doesn't cover the whole screen so I was a little disappointed
Tech Armor does not cover the entire screen though yes?
Most of us are waiting for the two brands who will be offering ones that are curved to cover the entire 2.5D part as well.

What brands are coming out with the 2.5D glass protector?
I'm still waiting for my N4, but my understanding is that edges on screen are rounded (sloped), so it's impossible have full screen protector?
Iloome is the one I ordered and it has rounded edges...should be here at the end of the week.

It doesn't mainly to be case friendly,remember most glass protector are thick & some of the snuggle fit slim cases could affect 2.5D protectors..like the case below which will surely damage any 2.5D screen protectors Watch "Review: Best Buy Platinum Series Case for the Sam…" on YouTube

Its not the rounded edges I was talking about. Rounded edges on screen protected make it smooth transition so it doesn't snag when you touch it's edge. However when it comes to sloppy edges of the screen itself, flat GLASS screens will not stick to the edge, because it can't bend to follow the curve of the screen.

Who's using a uncurved screen protector

I wanted to know if I install a screen protector thats not built for the notes curved edges will it peel off?and information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

there is a big thread about glass SP in the accessories section, http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/tempered-glass-screen-protectors-t2878038/page31. bottom line is, no SP (glass or regular) will fit the note 4 entirely. all of them out there right now only covers the flat surface of the screen, not the edges. currently only the supershieldz and spigen ones work properly, without covering the edges of course.

don't get the skinomi one. they will leave imprints from the s-pen. i use ismooth hd screen protectors. They don't reach the edge so they won't peel, but that won't matter if you use a case.

Glass screen protector

So far they don't work. I bought two. One of them was a super guardz brand and the other a vetroo. The adhesive is only used on the edges and the top and bottom so it's not like the usual tempered glass that sticks to the screen with an adhesive that's all over the protector. They're very flimsy and click a lot and won't work with a case. I preordered the OtterBox defender and I'm waiting the 1-2 months that it will take for it to come. I will be careful until then.

Xtremeguard wet apps are great for the price and stuck well to the corners. Some cases will still push it up tho.
Skinomi has the best full body protection I've seen so far, but will only work with certain cases too.
Tempered glass protectors have yet to work on any edge device to my knowledge.
Samsung official pet/dry film protectors look like they have a great fit as well, but will have issues with lifting from most cases too.
Hope some of that helps dude.

On your recommendation, that's what I'm getting until things shake out a little more. I was going to be patient until my Spigen case came in but it arrived 6 days early, lol! Now I just want to put the Note 4 away and slap a sim in the 7! I could go back to T-Mob and have them put something on, but they just pissed me off!
I have been reading that none of the curved screen protectors out now work. They are saying that they only have adhesive on the sides. Hope they will come out with one that works good.
Screen protector case combos are slim to none on phone. Spigen worked well with the skinomi, leaving edges in tact, however the bezel covers made it much harder (than the s7 edge) to get on. Overall fit and feel are good, providing better clarity and original feel compared to xtremeguard. Product fails for me because it was $30+ and the side protection was useless. I would rather spend my cash with xtremeguard and get quintuple the product. One corner refuses to go down, and is gonna bug the living hell out of me. Definitely paying for the name and advertising with this one.
Will add a few pics later on.
After searching Amazon and other sources, I decided to go with a temporary solution for now. None of the reviews can be trusted yet.

I called amazon and theu refunded me the $30 on the skinomi for the extended install time and the bunk quality of the side protection. My advice, go with Xtremeguard, they have kicked /-\$$ in every device I have had and they are beyond afforable.

The OtterBox tempered glass screen protector in this video looks interesting because it is cut smaller so it won't interfere with cases. Unfortunately, it is the most expensive of the bunch. (I am not affiliated with the video creator in any way.)

I was thinking the same, just doesn't make sense.
Yeah i think we all need to find a screen protector cause excuse my language but this is complete bull****. My phone has so many niks & scratches on it that it sickens me. Not even a wk with this dam thing never touched anything hard, nevet dropped & unless in my hand it sits in my pocket. Sorry but there is no dam reason i should have scratches & niks all over from maybe being in my pocket with some dam change a few times!

Require Simple Screen Protector - No Glass Screen Protector

Hi there!
I need simple plastic film, clear screen protector, similar to what is installed on new OnePlus 3 out of the box, but this one don't cover edges of the LED, leaving about 2mm exposed from both sides.
Kindly someone give me names or links of full screen protector which is not hard glass, but soft regular screen protector which cover complete screen
Or any other Phones screen protect which can cover OnePlus 3, may be of galaxy S7 Edge
Why i need simple screen protector:
- Its thinner
- Its not noticeable, you don't feel if its there
- Prevents scratches
- Don't make device thicker, by putting extra thick layer
- Can access home button/finger print reader easily, without digging your thumb in
Why i hate Glass Screen protectors
- Thicker, makes phone fatter
- Untidy, makes phone bulky
- buries home button further inside
- At times, i have seen they can damage the screen as well
I am using the IQ Shield and I love it. Fits great and was pretty easy to apply.

protector that comes preinstalled on OnePlus 3 seem to be of a very nice quality to me, issue is that, its short, i feel they could extend it little more to sides, just before it curves down, they made it short intentionally to make people buy there full screen or other temper glass screen protectors.
May be i should try to take screen protector of some other phone, like that of Samsung and try to cut it as per OP3.
May be i can extend it to black bars where the screen ends.
I decided to try the Orzly tempered glass. Normally I'm a huge fan of the Spigen Crystal and Ultra Crystal plastic ones - still almost no noticeable marking on the Crystal I have on my LG G4, and the Ultra Crystal on my wife's Nexus 5 literally saved us a screen replacement last winter. I thought the screen HAD broken, down to ordering a replacement to put in it ... but when I peeled the Spigen off, the screen was fine. They don't have one for the OP3 yet though. So this time I thought I'd try something different with the tempered glass. If I don't like it, I'll have to keep looking.
Interested in seeing if there are any good plastic screen protector recommendations though, in case I find that I'm not a fan of the glass ones.
Best non-glass screen protector.
BestSkinsEver Thank me later (or don't b*tch at me when you F up the wet install, ZAGG style)
I actually really like the original film protector. I still have mine on and I got the phone as soon as t was available and it still looks great.
Anyone know where I can get another? They don't seem to have them at the oneplus store.

Its of good quality, they could cover sides bit more, as curve starts from where black line starts, i guess the made it short for people to buy their accessories and remove it, probably.

They look tempting, but i am not sure how they will even cover the curves, i heard they come off from edges, it would have been better if they had left the curves exposed, just cover the complete LED, just up to the point where LED starts.
Hopefully it will give surprising results.

Are you pre-ordering your Note 8 Accessories?

http://www.mobilefun.com/64578-olixar-galaxy-note-8-case-compatible-glass-screen-protector-black.htm
I'm thinking of getting these for the note 8 if it ends up looking like the mock up images (which I think is fairly likely). Any other suggestions? Is anyone else preordering?
Oh yes. I always have screen protector and case in hand before I order any phone.
I just get cheapies to tide me over until what I really want comes out. So far the "MoKo Flexible TPU Bumper" case and the "G-Color (wet application)" screen protector (2-pack).
I assume that Whitestone will release a glass protector in the near future and I like the Samsung Clear View cases. I might be able to order the Clear View case when I pre-order the phone, but you never know, so I spent the $8 on the MoKo case.
Yes I will order good case and screen protector.
Since we have about 2 weeks before the note 8 shows up, I will keep creeping the xda forums for ideas and most likely order thru Amazon a few days before the phone shows up. I am lucky now to not work outside all day so my phones are at less risk.

Don't order your case from Samsung with the same order as the phone otherwise the phone may get delayed if the case is not available.
I'm buying those cheap deals before launch so that it's not nude when I get it. Then I'll take my time to pick up the better stuff.

I don't know if it's a gimmick and it does seems a little strange to me. This is my first curved edge phone (had the note 7 for only a short amount of time) that I plan to put a screen protector on. I want to get tempered glass because I want it to be super smooth for S-Pen. I heard that with other protectors they only have adhesive on the edge which can cause a loss in touch sensitivity. I don't know how true it is but I decided to try this one because it has adhesive over the whole thing. I found this video https://youtu.be/-fbZ9HtcYOA to be the deciding factor for me.
The edge screens have made a mess of the screen protector market. Thanks for the link.

Otter Box and curved glass screen protector.

I preordered the Grey Alacantra case. I seen that with those cases most of the screen protectors offered will not work
together. I want the Whitestone protector but dont want to waste money if they dont work together.... Any thoughts
on these predicaments?
I'm eyeballing the Whitestone screen protector, but I'll probably get something less spendy to start with, until I determine which case I'm going to get and can confirm that the Whitestone will work with it. I'll likely get a cheapish case (practical, but not fancy) until I see what's available.
