Hey everybody.
I've been testing different Screen protector for the S7 Edge over the past months and came to the conclusion that the official one made by samsung (http://amzn.to/2AZaGqn) is the best screen protector out there.
I even made a video review about it which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/824A2aA1rrQ
What screen protector do you use and have you tried the ones made by samsung already? Cheers
I've got some of these on order mate, thanks for the video, looks like they are a good option. I've paid £10 for two here in the UK which I thought was reasonable. They should hopefully be arriving mid week so I'll post back with my thoughts.
So from my experience, these screen protectors are great quality and easy to apply but you won't stand a chance of using a tpu case with them as they come right to the edge of the screen on all sides and the corners lift instantly. I tried using a spigen rugged armour and had no joy at all.
Where?
Where can one purchase this though? It's not available on Amazon. Or anywhere else I've looked.

I'm guessing these also have the pixelation issue?
Thanks. Just ordered.

Yep, I heard these are junk. Boxwave posted their entire stock of accessories discounted on Slickdeals website. There are hardly any reviews about these screen protectors, and whatever they have on Amazon is rated low.
I will like to have my own opinion on their quality. I will gladly pay 3 dollars for that

Oh, without a doubt, I would like you to have your own opinion and once you receive these - please share it on this forum!
I went through half a dozen of cheap ebay screen protectors from different sellers hoping I will find that diamond in the rough Didn't happen. I even tried premium ones, like Spigen. Now, I'm on iSmooth and appreciate it more No matter how many reviews you read/watch, you make the final call on what you like!
I think a diamond in the rough is tech armor. I really like it and Recco it. I an a sucker for good deals on screen protectors though.

So, if you found tech armor to be the best, why do you continue searching for other ones, and I assume testing them out? I'm in kind of in a same boat, went through a bunch where some were too thin, others too thick, some left s-pen marks, others had annoying rainbow effect, and some didn't stick as well. Now, I settled on iSmooth and don't want to remove and reapply anything else. Even with my last "final" install I didn't clean up phone screen 100% and probably left a tiny area around home button oily where I see sp didn't make a good contact (my fault). But I just don't want to rip it off, clean the phone and re-apply it again. I too love good deals, but don't want to keep reapplying new sp. Now, got UAG case on order and that one comes with its own screen protector which some say is a good quality. Plus, Scott/JLG mentioned in another thread he will be coming up with dry install sp... It never stops lol!!!
I like screen protectors. Cell phones and screen protectors are my hobbies.My favorite one that requires soap water is phantomskinz and I have tried them all. I just got into these dry installs a I am very impressed. I like to test them out and I keep going back to tech armor
one quick question, does this sp cover the whole phone, or leave a few sections such as top or bottom.
alas...the code is no more..
There was a problem
The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.
if anyone gets it to work or finds another, post up !
Hat Tip to the OP though! Thanks, was worth a shot =]
Gong to have a note 5 and looking for opinions on the best tempered glass screen protector out for it. I don't care much about which brand as I most likely wont be getting official glass at a high cost...

I think I am going to wait till RhinoShield makes one.
I've used several Mime's in the past. I love them except the price is a bit high. Very thin and the feel is smoother than glass.
The Mime for GN5 is not yet available, but should be soon.

Actually mine shipped and is going to be delivered Thursday. I like Mime's Feather glass as it's so thin - unfortunately they don't seem to be making it for their newer phones.
I would have preferred iloome or other cheaper, name brands, but Mime was the only known brand who was ready to ship. I've never liked the no name brands on Amazon.
Oh snap, they are now available. I just ordered one. Be here Friday and I will pick up phone Friday as well.

From another thread
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...otectors-p/galaxy-note-5-screen-protector.htm
Not sure how good xtremeguard is, but if you use code WAVE90 you get 90% off store that gets you the spartan tempered glass for $3.50 shipped.
I went through 2 mime ghost glass screen protectors on my gs4. Then I switched to zerolemon less expensive and free replacements . Mime charges half price for thier replacements.
Skinomi glass has halo around the whole phone. Do not order this protector
Same thing with the Mime Ghost glass - halo all around. From experience with the Note 4, I think it's pretty safe to say vendors who have protectors at launch are just guessing. Due to the slight curve, I'm guessing everyone will have to do a new rev now that the phone is out.
I got the Glass ZAGG InvisibleShield from Verizon. It was a bit expensive but there is no halo and it has a lifetime warranty if it starts to come off or anything. It seems to be sticking well with the Otterbox Commuter case.

Is that glass? I remember my last invisible shield, once you wrote with the 's pen it left indentions in the shield. It showed all you spen writing.

Yes, I will agree with you that the ZAGG tempered glass from VZW was fantastic on my Note 4. Now that I have the Note 5 I will be getting it again but I am specifically waiting for the privacy tempered glass to come available. Being that I travel frequently the privacy works better for me with wondering eyes

Yes, it's glass and the pen works fine with it on. After reading your post I'm glad BestBuy wouldn't sell me the plastic invisiblesheild on Wednesday when I went there. They said I had to wait until Friday so I went to Verizon and bought the glass instead.
Did anyone try the generic verizon glass screen protector? $40 bucks is too rich for me for a Zagg.
Best Buy went through FIVE Zagg HD Glass before someone stepped in and got it perfect on the first try...the others just didn't know what they were doing.
Zero halo around the edges and zero loose edges.
There was also a video on here of the Supershieldz Ballistic Tempered Glass being installed on the N5 with no halo at all either. Seems we could add that to the list and hopefully as more people acquire the N5 it remains this way

I got the verizon generic glass. Comes with a nice halo for free!!
Called Zagg yesterday to ask about the curved tempered glass and the girl said it's been shipping for the past week. You have to call and order as it's still not available on their website. Now here's the kicker, It has a black painted border around the edges. :silly:
I asked if it sticks to the actual display area and she said yes, but did not sound too sure. It was $44.99 but she said she would give me 10% off and another $10.00 off discount. After hearing about the black "Painted Border" I did not order and will wait to see what others find out.
If anyone has ordered and received one please post some pictures and a review. Thank You.
Some have already had it and sent it back. See the TGSP thread. It's the same Chinese crap.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yea, just saw that. Glad I did not order one.
Honestly I've given up hope of ever finding a decent TGSP for this phone. You need 100% adhesion to the screen for it to not look and feel like absolute balls every time, and so far all the TGSP are exactly the same garbage you can get for 20$ on eBay.
I tried a protection but it did not work
Anyone else tried the Zagg curved yet?
Must have lost my mind..........................Just picked one up at Best Buy for the Regular Edge at the everyday low price of $44.99 plus tax.
I'll see how it works out tomorrow. One thing that worries me is all the cutouts on the back are real sharp feeling. Hope they won't scratch the face of the phone.
So the Zagg glass for the edge isn't any good?
I saw these in the local EE shop on Saturday, and whilst I was there someone bought one and attempted to install it. Looked no different than all the others you get online to me (other than being more expensive), and it still didn't appear to sit on the screen properly. I'll stick with the HD Dry myself. If a premium company like Zagg can't get these things working properly, then tempered glass protectors on curved screens are a write off for me. The manufacturers just don't seem capable of getting them right but as long as people buy them they'll continue making them.
New "Edited" Orzly Tempered Glass Application & Case test (Orzly, Spigen, OnePlus & T
Took a chance and ordered another Orzly TGSP whilst awaiting my Nilkin to arrive. Turns out their shipping an "edited" 2nd edition already.
Let me know what you think or if you've got any questions!

Too lazy to watch. Does it fit well with spiggen rugged case?
you said the dot matrix may be there - what about the rainbow oil slick mess in the center? does the new version have that?

Nothing when I put it on, will keep you updated on whether it gains one over the next few days of usage.
Wanted to know if there is "glue" that makes the glass stick to the screen in the screen area or it's only in the black parts?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I don't understand how it can fit the phone well if the TG is not curved at the edge itself ?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
looks like have no glue in screen area, no go for me, bad sunlight visibilty.
Hm. Seems I would need to buy a new one. Thanks for the video as it's useful! Just gotta find a link for EU people.
From Orzly customer service:
Thank you for your e-mail. I can confirm that whilst it is true that we are due to receive a revised version of our existing Black 2.5D Pro-Fit OnePlus 3 screen protector we still haven't had any stock delivered.
I am hopeful we will receive a delivery within the next couple of weeks. Once these come in all relevant listings will be changed in order to reflect that the 2.5D screen protector has been changed.
I think I may buy one of these... The nillkin H+ Pro is garbage, it has left 2 stripes of air on both edges, and they make the front screen pretty ugly. However, screen visibility, colour reproduction etc is very good.
The important question here is whether it has glue on the middle like the official OnePlus curved TG.

So the old ones are still around.... Maybe they have still a lot of unsold stocks, however I don't know how could I recognise the new model from the old one when buying it from Amazon (.it) . There is no mention of any product revision or similar advices, not even on their official site.

I have asked from them last week and they said that revision isnt just ready yet, about 1-2 weeks and all listings (official site, Ebay, Amazon) will be updated. But we need also remember that there is also 3rd party sellers which may have old stock still. But i'm gonna order from Amazon.co.uk when they have relisted revision version.
I just put one of these protectors on my phone. I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed. Went on easy, no rainbow halo, dots not visible when the screen is on, and it works with my Orzly Grip Pro. I DID have to be a little more careful when I put the case on, but it otherwise was as simple and pain-free as it could be. I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
**edit**
At work, under florescent lights, i see the halo. I also see the dots and I sure as hell see the fingerprints. Still no issues with the edges lifting or anything. Meh, its really no worse than the OEM protector it came with.

After reading your post, I contacted Orzly to ask them when I could expect mine. They told me they are not yet shipping the renewed 2.5D screenprotectors... Strange.... Guess you must have been lucky to receive the new version.
Probably just the same but a different batch which is ever so slightly smaller from another batch.
They told me they have the new spec in stock UK but white only, still waiting for my replacement

Yeah seems like it's slowly filtering through to their Amazon stores.
the video shows that the glass is compatible whit the spigen rugged armor but when i put my one plus 3 in the case the glass come out. Someone have the same problem?
Hello, I am getting a (S7 Edge) , does anyone know of a good Screen Protector that works well with a case on the device? I appreciate all the advice. Thank You
Interested in this as well. Had Ghost Armor a year ago, it peeled. I probably didn't get the case friendly version, and put on the case right away though.
Then got ClearPlex from Best Buy twice, both times peeled and developed "dimples" (small impressions). At least lifetime warranty covered the 2nd one. This time I waited 24 hours before putting on the case.
I'd rather not go back every few months to replace the screen protector again and again, so would love for a solution to be posted.
