Cover cases and glass screen protectors...

Hi, couldn't find anything about Samsung galaxy s7 edge cover cases compatibility with glass screen protectors.
Is very strange that people don't wont to protect their phone (that already in the case) with tempered glass screen protectors...
I know that good quality cover case (both sides) will give good enough protection but.. is very normal that phone needs cleaning sometimes and not always you will have in your pocket a peace of cloth for cleaning phone screens. I may clean against may trousers or jacket, etc. For that I'll need glass protection.
Any idea? which cases will support glass protectors and I'm talk now about cases that are fully coves your phone including original Samsung cases.

This thread is a discussion about glass screen protectors and if they work with cases.

Most do not work well with cases due to them being pushed up at the corners so everyone is waiting to see if better ones come out.

I thought that the thread you gave me link is only for glass screen protectors and almost nobody discuss a part of having two things - Fully covered cover + Glass scree protector.

I was simply pointing you to the main thread about the glass screen protectors. The main thing to take away from that is the fact that there are no good glass screen protectors yet based on the numerous reviews. Those issues won't change with a fully covered cover.

So far the best choice for a case compatible with glass screen protector seems to be Spigen Thin Fit and Ringke Air.
Anyone knows if Ringke Fusion Crystal View and Samsung Clear Cover are glass screen protector friendly?

Both Samsung Clear View and Samsung LED View covers work fine with TGSP.

What you think about Ringke Fusion? Could that work too?

Hi peeps, I've got the Galaxy S7 Edge Case Crystal Shell, waiting for the amazingthing to come back in stock at eBay will then order and report back

Hard to tell mate. Looks like it may be OK. Just realised the Ringke I have tested with TGSP is the Ringke Air.

I've settled on the AMAZINGthing TGSP, and will be ordering it as soon as it comes back into stock. But does anyone know if a case like the Speck Candyshell Grip would work? Iv'e considered getting the Spigen thin fit, but ideally wanted something that offered a bit more protection - anyone got any suggestions?

Don't think it will be compatible. It's hard to tell. Also retract my comment above about the Ringke being ok. Looking again at my cases it depends heavily on top and bottom.
If you can tell from the photos, it's the cases which sort of "hug" the edges by a mm or two as opposed to those overlap by a few more mm on to front glass.

Close up.
That's what you have to consider when choosing a case if you want compatibility with protectors.

Those 4 tested by you that are OK in the pictures above what model are they? I suppose one is Samsung Clear View Cover, one is Samsung Clear Cover and another Spigen Thin Fit, right? The fourth I don't know.

Someone had a review on his gpell and it fit the commuter just wondering if the amazingthing will achieve the same

Poetic Revolution and Supcase Unicorn beetle pro cases should fit. as the top layer of cases go over the top of the screen protector not lifing it up. 2 part cases on amazon both under 20 bucks.

Does anybody have tried Casemate Tough Case with glass screen protector?

S6 Edge Case + Tempered Glass

Hey,
I might be getting an S6 Edge and was wondering if any of you knew any cases that fit a tempered glass screen protector. I was looking at the Candyshell Grip from Speck and was wondering if one would fit that. If you know any, feel free to reply with the Canadian Amazon link to one.
Thanks

Something like this perhaps..?
https://www.amazon.ca/Galaxy-Spigen...4399046&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+bumper+s6+edge
I had a similar case (cheaper version of this from eBay... lol), and I've used like 2/3 glass screen protectors previously. One thing i realised was that the raised edges around the corners also kept the glass protector in place. Even when the adhesive once wore out for me lol
Ps - You may want to be a little wary of taking off the case too much because it may allow bits of dust to scoop under one of the edges of the glass protector.
Hope my advice helps you!

Finally checked my notifications! I ended up getting the S6 Edge and got the Otterbox Symmetry case. Everything good so far!

What screen protector to combine Spigen Rugged Armor with

I really like the Spigen Rugged Armor Case for OP3 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
But I'm worried the tempered glass i want to get won't go well with it. The Yootech one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3KGQHS00G2MDY
Should i just go for a regular screen protector since the case already has some leap in front? Like the ArmorSuit one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3LQSX85N730QN
Need to order them soon. Replies will be appreciated.

I had the non TG from yootech and it was trash. Didn't stick well left tons of adhesive on the top of screen protector after peeling the top layer off.
Still waiting for something with decent reviews, but now I don't even have the OEM protector on.

I am worried about those tempered glass protectors to be honest. Anything that causes air bubbles or rainbow effect, i will rip off quickly i'm sure

I'm probably just going to get another plastic screen protector and use that til a good TG one comes out. I really like the rugged armor case too and don't plan to use anything else except maybe the neo hybrid spigen case.

I guess i just have to make a decision between Neo Hybrid and Rugged Armor. Already decided to get this plastic screen protector - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B..._title_dp_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3ERO5WWGZCNON

I am in the same situation here in India. Bought the spigen rugged armor case. Liked it so much that I'm still Sticking to the stock plastic scratch guard. But I believe no tempered glass would work fine with this case. Any ideas?

Yep i'm in the same boat. Currently using spigen with stock screen protector as well. I usually dont care about the front glass as I am with the back but I recently found some people had their display broke so i'm a bit nervous about that.

I went with The Spigen Neo Hybrid as i got a plastic screen protector. So i hope the sturdier case will compensate.

any standard TG will do. I used to use it with Oneplus 1st gen TG and it fit well with the case

I would get that, but don't want to lose even 5mm of screen space. It's not a big deal, but it would annoy me.
The phone feels and looks great with the Rugged Armor case so I don't wanna buy another just so I can use Tempered Glass. I'd just keep the OEM protector on until TG compatible with this case comes out.

This is why i opted for the Neo Hybrid instead of the TPU Rugged Armor. Because i need more protection if i got only a plastic protector on.

I know this thread is pretty old but any luck in finding a Tempered Glass screen protector that plays nice with the rugged admor case? I still can't find one that seems to be compatible.

The icheckey is fine, and there are two in the pack. I got mine from Amazon.

I used orzly (as i used them on opo and op2 and they were simply the best) and they are good.
Bought them on amazon, 2 pieces pack.
Be sure to buy orzly v2 'casue v1 wasn't compatible with most armors

Orlzly v 2 is the only one that works with a Spigen rugged armor, two pack normally, I've tried them all.

RhinoShield hit the spot for me

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho

Any you can recommend about $20 and under?

First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.

I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

thats becuz the neoflex is a rubber 3m film, not plasti-glass. i honestly like Spigen Neoflex screen protector. only downfall is using the pen on it leaves lines where youve drawn .. but cant be felt by your touch

Oh wow that sucks but for some reason YouTubers recommend this for s8 and note 8 idk man it looks promising but yeah that warning I've never seen before

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.

I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..

I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.

I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?

yes

I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.

Screen protector compatible w) otterbox defender?

Ever since I got my galaxy note 8 as the greatest x-mas gift ever, I've been searching for a compatible screen protector with the case I have right now. So far, I have an interest in rhino shield, b/c it looks like IT MIGHT be compatible with the otter box defender( the case I have now), but idk because I have no experience with any kind of screen protector with this phone. Of anyone has any recommendations for what screen protector I should get, please let me know.
P.S. I want this phone to look as perfect as when I first got it , so any screen protectors that leave a rainbow effect are a no go. Thanks for any input as it is greatly appreciated!

Do you want glass or a film protector? I have a wet-apply Spigen film protector for now and it's great with no rainbow or any other issue. I prefer glass, but the two I tried so far were horrible (Inskin and another brand I can't recall at the moment). Just ordered a Whitestone dome so we'll see how that stacks up. The Spigen film is a good backup option though.

I'm also interested in this.... I have the otterbox defender... dropped the phone yesterday. It must have landed on the corner of one of my steps on my front porch. Cracked the screen.
So I'm in the market either for some kind of really good screen protector to work with my Defender... or a new case altogether that actually covers the front of the phone, once I get my replacement.
