Just for info, there's two in the box. it covers ONLY the screen that has the LCD. DOesn't cover whole face.
Never had issues sticking on these static type protectors but this one gave me hell. ruined both. the protector is slightly tacky. And will attact dust(like any like this) so make sure you're in a clean room. But both of my protectors wouldn't stick on the edges of the protector. and every time I tried to peel it up and putting it back down, it still didn't hold. Then dust got under it. augh. Ruined both. I wonder if they would take them back since both wouldn't stick on teh edges? Aww... they will probably say I'm returning it because I got dust under it.
i know how you feel! i bought them when i got my hd2 and i got the top two-thirds of the protector on perfect but then the bottom third somehow got dust underneath, it really not that bad when the screen is on but its still annoying. cant wait to get my invisibleshield on it tho!
order this, the maximum protection from zagg....

I used invisishield on my ipod. Great stuff, but hard to get on perfect. 3 parts for a curved back and front only covers the LCD part? The front part sounds so unlike them. They normally have it going round buttons and everything.
But it's like putting tint on. You need to have a liquid to make slide just right.
i used invisible shield on my iphone, and it was fully protected. It did add grip to the device which i liked. Anyways, the maximum protection shield covered more than the normal full-body shield. It'll cover not only the LCD screen but all spaces around the hardware buttons and well as the speaker.

I also got these same screen protectors and was dissapointed when it did not cover the entire screen.
Trick to putting on screen protectors.
1.) Make sure the screen is completely clean of all smudges etc.
2.) Use a can of air duster to remove any small dust particles that might be stuck on the phone. If you don't have that then just take a piece of tape and remove any dust particles or dirt from the screen. This is the most important part!
3.) Line up the screen protector on the screen where you want to place it.
4.) Peel back the backing of the screen protector as you lay the screen on the device. Start from the top of the device and work your way down. If need be take out a credit card or another hard piece of plastic of some sort to push out any air bubbles that may occur as you lay down the screen protector.'
5.) Enjoy a job well done.
It's interesting to note that all the previous posts are (I assume) from US members.
You get a screen protector with the phone and we here in the UK don't.
I have heard mention that when some EU units have been returned for screen problems they have been repaired with what has appeared to be a plastic version of the screen.
My phone is now coming on three months old, never had a protector, never used a case and the screen is immaculate.
Can anyone say if theirs "feels" like plastic?

My TMOUS HDC HD2 is definitely glass.
I didn't bother to use a screen protector (didn't even know there was one supplied)...it isn't necessary on a glass screen.
Its very hard to scratch glass...you would need a very sharp object, made out of a very hard material (harder than glass), applied with a lot of pressure. I've had my iPhone for 3 years, and the glass is flawless on it. The aluminum housing is scratched, dented, and dinged up, and the LCD panel has a little bit of bruising on the top left corner BEHIND the glass...but the glass itself is immaculate.
Apple actually pulled the screen protectors off the shelves from the Apple store because they felt they were unnecessary..and frankly anyone who pays for one on the HD2 or iPhone wasted their money.
You'll actually see more imperfections on the screen by applying a screen protector...they have a tendency to attract dust, bubble up, and flat out get dirty. The only maintenance you need to do on a glass screen is polish out smudges and finger prints.
The biggest peril to glass touch screens is cracks from falls....and if your HD2 suffers a big enough impact, a screen protector or 'invisible shield' won't do squat to keep it from cracking
glass or plastic..either way.. i was soooooooooooo confident i wouldnt scratch mine, until about a minute ago when i was in the process of wiping the glass(plastic) screen before putting on a screen protector, i noticed a little scratch...great. Should've put on a protector sooner...
From now on, I willl be putting on a screen protector unless the screen are made out of crystal sapphire or something..

We actually do not get an included screen protector. Only the black gel case, which imo is quite crappy... loose and flimsy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6117793#post6117793 Check out oy instillation of the Invisible shield if you are considering buying one. I bought the Maximum Protection and it covers almost everything besides for around the buttons on the bottom, volume rocker, camera, Micro USB/ 3.5 Headphone jack, and the finger nail grove on battery cover. I also would like to note that my TMOUS HD2 did not include any screen protectors in the box.
Sorry imo I have to disagree with you about the included gel being loose mine fits quite snugly and until my zagg comes in I prefer to keep it in the gel...not as slick & keeps the screen(when face down) off the flat surface.
A tipp for all you guys getting dust under the screen:
I always apply a new screen protector in my bathroom after showering - the steam in the air (the more steam, the better) binds most of the dust particles and makes it A LOT easier to get a perfect result!

I agree, I used to do this back in the day before Zagg came around. It works great.
I have read with other products people use a drop or water/soap water before applying a screen protector. Has anyone used this method on this device? i am concerned that the water will somehow ruin the device. I know it's only a drop or 2 but wanted to get some feedback first before i tried it.
Well I had mine today.
I knew it would come as I started to use this tab more and more for my only device. I was trying to get it into a coat pocket that was a bit tight and wham, before I knew it I saw it crashing onto a sidewalk FACE down.
I cringed as I watched it bounce. I didn't hear the screen hit the ground even though it bobbled around face down a few times so i was a bit relieved, but I was still worried picking it up as it hit a corner first.
Happy to say it came through scratch free.
I bought a simple cheap case that does not add much in size and has good grip.
Here it is if anyone is interested. The stylist doesn't work that well and I haven't put the screen protector on yet, but after today I will.

I dropped mine on day one as I hadn't put it into my pocket properly, small ding in the corner. I was not happy.
I managed to leave it on the car roof the other day, it fell off & got ran over by 2 cars before it was retrieved, the case mostly saved it, a bit of the plastic on the other corner is damaged, but it still works fine and the glass is unmarked. A bit of touch-up and it's not a big deal.
Good build quality!
my 5 yr old dropped it 2x times already but its taking it great no scratches or anything
Just like my Galaxy S, the Tab too has been on "Extreme Adventure's"!
The SGS has been seen to slide off a kitchen work surface onto a stone floor and shoot out of my car window (after leaving my dashboard at warp 5.0) onto the road....
The Tab has shown great tenacity in following the SGS enduring 'blind maneuvers' by being sat-upon, knocked off a desk and found in an argument with one of my dogs (my grand daughter had been using the App 'Talking Tom' and put the Tab down to then come out and join me in the next room but left Talking Tom waiting for the next voice to come forth.... It did in the guise of Rags, one of our dogs who took an instant dislike to his barks & growls being played back by Talking Tom the Cat)!!
Thank goodness for Gorilla Glass and the Ebay case's I purchased....
I've decided to get the Otterbox Defender case to prevent any accidental drops and hating myself afterward!

I've dropped mine around 4 times so far - the worst being off a shelf around 4 feet high onto a fairly hard bathroom floor. So far it's survived intact - unlike an iPad one of my kids dropped and which now has a nice dent in the aluminium. Maybe plastic was a better materials choice after all....

What case are you using for the times you plan on dropping the case on purpose.
Sorry couldn't resist.
Dropped mine while on a call, it had a gel skin and screen protector so i though it was ok, continued the call but the other person said they could not hear me very well after the drop. I was devestated and thought it would have to go for repair.
Looking at it after the call i noticed the case had come apart near the microphone, i carefully with light pressure snapped the front and back casing back together and now everything if working perfectly and calls are clear again. Phew!

I don't believe this.
I dropped mine on my way out my front door the other day. Luckily it was in a padded sleeve that I had just bought the day before from Walmart. No damage, but it got me thinking about what could have happened if it wasn't in the sleeve. The only protection it has when it's in use is a Zagg Invisibleshield and Zaggskin. Great for scratch protection, but there's no shock protection. So I've ordered an Otterbox for it. I'm sure it'll be tested at some point.
Dropped mine once and ordered the otterbox

Same here - is there any source for spare parts already?
Dropped mine glass side down on the corner of a metal box. Destroyed the antiglare cover.. my heart was in my throat while I removed it to see if there was permanent damage and to my surprise not a scratch.
Very resistant device
Scratch on the frame
Dropped mine first face down on a tiled floor. No problem. The Gorilla glass is great. Second incident was not so much a drop as an unforseen injury. My Tab was naked in my big old Samsonite wheel bag for a longhaul flight while I slept and the top edge of the frame was pushed by the other stuff in the bag against a metal rivet head inside the bag. The result is 2 little patches of scribble in the coating near the head phone jack. I can confirm the frame is aluminium.
Any reccomendations as to the neatest touch up?
I dropped mine onto a concrete floor today from ~1m height. A little scratch on the corner, that's all. Has anyone of you already been throwing it around? Also, how's your screen? Mine already has a few scratches, as i've been wearing it in the pocket without a case - thougt the Gorilla Glass could take it, but apparently i'm wrong. But it's not that bad.
I give all my phones a protective cover on the screen. Also my old iPhones (3G/4) and my Lumia 800 with Gorilla Glas gets scratches after time. So I replace the screen cover every half year and the phones display stays free of scratches.

Totally agree, always have a screen protector on, even if they say the screen is bomb proof I would still apply one!

I dropped mine when I was getting out of the car the other day (fell onto pink concrete because our driveway is weird) =__=;; and again when I was eating at a food court (forgot my head phones were in, got up to get some utensils)... I think there was a review out that said when the cover is disconnected, it turns off the phone but maybe I heard it wrong because it was fine and on when I picked it up. No scratches, no external injuries found :3
Sturdy. Majestic. Running. Cowering in fear.
Get an screen protector n casing, less than 10 bucks.

I bought TPU Case and Nillkin Crystal Screen Protector, my 4X will be full safe
I let my O4X fall down from approx. 1m onto a stone floor. After buying a new phone, it looked as new.
Hi!
I am planning not to use any protective case/covers etc. accessories for my phone. Is it bad idea? Will Samsung S7 edge look like crap soon or it is scratch resistant and will keep nice look even after few months?
How does your phone looks like now after not using any protective covers? Could you post pictures and aprox time of usage?
Thank you, deff_ins
2 months - no protection , I'm carrying it in a pocket without other things like money or keys . No scratches at all , only fingerprints all over
Im a diehard screenprotector and case guy. Since I had been having so many problems finding a curved protector that sticks, and the ones that dont cover the edge looked like crap, I decided 2 months ago to go without a protector. I have a case that shows the edges well, and covers the frame nice.
After two months I finally have a 1/2 inch scratch on the face...nothing too bad and I will live with it...not sure how it happened but the glass has held up pretty well considering I am not a desk guy and am always using and doing things with my phone outside.
Overall Im surprised the glass has done well. That being said, and now that I have a scratch, I will be looking to get a protector again.

Well, good luck with living dangerously. I have my S7 Edge with the LED cover now for 8 months. During that time I dropped it 3 times. The first time the screen and digitizer were broken. The display replacement cost me Euro 260. 10 days after the repair, it dropped out of my pocket again. Invariably, it always lands on the screen because the LED cover flips open when it falls. Display glass cracked but digitizer still intact. After the first accident I had ordered a tampered glass screen protector from Hongkong. It arrived only 2,5 months later. When I finally got it and tried to fit it, half the display was unresponsive. When I tried to remove the glass protector the phone slipped out of my hand and dropped on the tiled kitchen floor. Guess what happened. Part of the display AND the glass protector shattered. The lucky part is, the upper right corner of the display which was cracked before got shattered. The display is still useable. I actally got used to the broken display. My hope is that in the new year the price for a new display might come down a bit. As I'm not planning to buy another expensive phone anytime soon, a second display replacement is probably the cheapest option.
Bottomline: Yes the S7E is a bloody fragile phone! Depending on the individual clumsiness, it is virtually impossible to assume that you will never drop it over an extended period. If you want to have solid protection you have to go for these hideous army style covers but they make the phone look like a monsterous thing. I like covers with functionality like the LED or S View covers but they only protect the edges and backside of the phone.
The Bottomline of the bottomline: Maybe I shouldn't have bought such an expensive and fragile phone in the first place. End of story. Cheers LJ
Back near camera cracked on mine even though I've never dropped it, had to put a skin on it to hide the crack. Also it has a mark on the main screen, suspect coinage in my pocket done that
Never used a case, I've had mine since two weeks after the release. I always carry it in my pocket with my keys and other stuff. Dropped it only once, no scratches cracks or any other damage.
Been using Carol Blue for 2 months. I slapped a dbrand skin on the back the 1st week so I can use it naked and not worry about back glass scratches.
At office and work, I go naked. Out and about, I put on spigen rugged case. Very easy to put on and off and slim enough and plenty protection.
The front screen now has few minor scratches on it. No idea how that happened. I'm very careful with my phone.
I just put armorsuit screen protector on it and it works PERFECT. loving the phone and how it feels in the hand. Amazing. I now have dbrand skin on back and screen protector on the front. Totally protected from scratches when going with no case at home and office.
i never ever used a case in my life. it hides the beautiful lines of the device
Take it from someone who has been through the process of having the screen replaced - use protection!
I dropped it on its face, from toilet height (yes, I was on the bog after a long night shift!) and before turning it over I just knew it was bad. You hear 30 seconds of cracking noises as they tear through the display glass slowly whilst you contemplate your stupidity at the 'oh s**t' moment you just found yourself in.
Cost me £50 in excess as I was insured luckily, however with no insurance you're looking at £200 ball park.
I actually had the LED case on at the time. That did naff all in protecting the screen. Flip cases really should have some sort of auto close feature! Might have been enough to save the screen if so!
I always thought about going without anything, but I love the led case to much. I don't know how so many people have broken theirs while also using this case, I've dropped it more times than I can count. Even especially since I typically keep the phone on my lap when driving, so I tend to open the door, stand up, and find it on the asphalt ground.
I still even have the square sticker on the back of my phone. No scratches, no breaks, perfect.
Update : just wanted to update my previous post with this new information. I ordered and received the ArmorSuit screen protector for my S7 Edge. I have never used a wet screen protector before and I have never found an edge screen protector that sticks or works either in the dry form or the tempered glass.
I watched the video on installation. it took me about 10 minutes to put it on. I let it air dry for another 15 minutes then using a hair dryer on low setting I got the sides to easily adhere to the screen. Left it overnight, put on my I-Blason edge case. I have never been so happy as I have with this screen protector on it looks amazing. Edges stick perfectly.
I'm glad to have my screen protected again and the case on ..I just don't think it's worth taking the chance with such an expensive device. I lived on the edge for a few months with nothing on it, but I'm glad I have something back on it now.

I wish I took a picture of the device I just returned. Dropped it and it fell on a rock. Ugly circular crack and a first the phone still functioned but after about a week my screen just went haywire and would only turn on after multiple power on and offs.
It was all bad lol
hello
all know that its hard to fined good TG or screen protector for redmi note 4-4x that's fit good with no gap or air in edge
so i need to know that if any use nano Liquid Protector for there device and any tips and info about that i will be rly grateful
No. Forget the idea. Liquid nano screen protectors are bull**** and huge scams. Believe me. Tempered glass is still your best choice and gives you the most protection even though there is a little gap at the side of the screen. Liquid protectors are fake. How is a little gel supposed to protect your phone by rubbing it on your screen creating a thin, oily layer? It can't. I did make a test though. Some pretty girls made a huge presentation and tried to sell me liquid protector. They even showed off by hitting the screen of an iPhone with a metallic object pretty hard that at least should have nicked the screen if not broken it into pieces. It was suspicious and I made a complete and throughout search. They use an iphone that comes with gorilla glass that almost unbreakable. No wonder why it didn't break. I bought a new Note 4X SD with 64 gb so I asked them to put the protector on my old phone, the 16 GB MTK and hit it with the metallic object just like they did to the iPhone. The silly girls did it and my phone screen broke completely. That's it. Never trust wonder protectors.
Actually liquid protectors will not make your screen shatter proof but will only add a layer of protection that will fade overtime around 2-3mos
Tried it on a couple of phones and more than once. The coating lasts about 3 days max.
I had one put on to my Galaxy Note 3 when they first arrived in the Philippines. One application (drop from a bottle) cost me $9 (a comparable tempered glass protector cost as little as $2). The bottle itself costs $16.
I noted where previous micro-scratches were before I applied the protector (one just above the G on the "SAMSUNG" logo.)
SIX DAYS after paying through the nose for that liquid stuff, another scratch appeared on the phone, this time near the menu button.
After that, I returned to using tempered glass protectors and never looked back.
