LUVVITT TEMPERED GLASS Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Crystal Clear

Says its crystal clear? S6 didn't have any clear tempered class due to adhesion issues on edge.

Honestly, I'd wait on ordering one of these. The boxes all look hella sketchy and the second link doesn't even have anywhere near the right phone as the model image for the S7 (at least the Edge on both of these has an older model picture). Chances of the screen scratching the first couple of weeks while you figure things out is pretty low since the anti-scratch coating doesn't typically begin to wear off until at least a month (Then is usually pretty vulnerable to scratches; especially after 6 months).
I'd save your money for now. S6 Edge definitely didn't have the best screen shield pre-order experience. Fittings were terrible and some didn't even cover the 'edge.'

ordered the LUVVITT screen protector

To be honest, I would use a conventional film screen protector (maybe combined with a case) until something proven reaches the market.

There aren't even any good film ones yet. I bought a wet install one for now since its the only thing I could find.

Zagg will be making a curved glass screen protector and selling it for $40. Might be better quality than the cheap Chinese ones. Time will tell.

I contacted Zagg they have are far away from launch. I reached out to them and here is the response:
"We are currently in the process of developing a Glass Invisibleshield that will cover the Galaxy S7 Edge. However, as of right now, it looks like it won't actually be released until late summer or early fall of this year."

They might as well not even bother at that rate. Zagg isn't the only player around anymore, so I would put my money elsewhere unless they release something now that's better than what's being offered.

Isn't the S6 Edge basically the same shape, and size as the S7 Edge? They only added a MicroSD slot.... same basic design....

No, the S7 screen shape is vastly different even if it resembles the one in S6 Edge. But the same company that made the S6 Edge protector can probably do one for the S7 Edge.

I've been reading online that the S7 is basically using the same enclosures as the S6.... because Samsung didn't sell a lot of them for lack of the MicroSD slot....

And you really believed that ?

I'd like to get one of these glass screens, but at this stage the cheapest I've seen is around £15 from China. I'll wait until the phone is actually in my hands, they'll come down in price soon enough. I have a protective case on order, that's the main thing.

Considering the continued fail to find a perfect glass s6 edge protector, I'd recommend one of the pet solutions myself...

I ordered the second one on your list and they shipped it the day after I ordered it... Problem is it is coming from China and I didn't know it. Not very happy. When I get it I may ask for a refund if I don't like it.

He posted the wrong image; iCarez does make one for the S7E. I posted a question on the listing to ask for a picture of it actually applied and I also inquired about how they tested it.

For 3D curved tempered glass screen protector for Samsung S7 Edge, it's not all surface with glue, only 4 sides with glue. After testing, full glue will influence screen touch.

Galaxy S6 Edge Tempered Glass Screen Protector Thread

The dual edge of the Galaxy S6 Edge is a bit a huge challenge for manufacturers, I have been looking one as a preparation as the edge is my pick for the two phones, so far only one manufacturer that I found.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Tempered Glass Screen Protector
I would love to have the Zagg but still waiting for it
I would be keeping my eye out for manufacturers that came out with a Galaxy Note Edge tempered glass solution; but I couldn't find many. I bet those will be the ones to release Galaxy S6 Edge tempered glass solutions first.
I am on the lookout for one too
Nice find bro, but so far it is still in its early days, we have to wait for at least a month to see much more better screen protectors

Unless if the glass just arrives in a form-fitting way for the phone... idk, those companies have a challenge to overcome, for sure.
With gorilla glass 4 you don't need screen protector people.. Believe.. I have 2 year with S5, Z3, Note 4 and I never use this.. My screen is like new... The Screen protector is a simple deal for 3th part... Good luck.. Waiting 4 my S6 edge.. ????

No. Just regular screen protectors.
I also used those without any scratch agree to you.
As the owner of a Note Edge who have spent countless hours in the last couple months trying to find a screen protector (of any kind) that fully cover the entire screen, my advice is to be on the cautionary side when looking at the pictures that the suppliers post for their product. I myself have searched on Amazon, Ebay, as well as many screen protector websites, so far I have purchased about 5-6 screen protectors form various different suppliers, and only one was able to cover the entire screen of the Note Edge.
I have not looked at tempered glass for the Note Edge, as there is a long discussion thread in the Note Edge accesories subforum talking about delays in bringing tempered glass to the Note Edge.
I will be getting the S6 Edge as soon as it is released, and of course I will be looking at getting screen protectors, but I will definitely double check and make sure before making the purchase.
If you guys are hoping for a tempered glass for the edge you can forget it. The only ones that you will find are those that dont cover the edge, just the flat part of the screen. This is normal, Tempered glass is not meant to be anything else else than flat. The only way they could achieve a full cover glass protector is if they create a piece of glass thicker than the screen assembly and carve out the silhouette of the edge. This would mean such a propector would cost 4-5 times the price of a regular one.
I think nobody will have other choice than switching back to plastic or rubber protectors

As mentioned earlier in the thread, iLoome was experimenting with a curved glass screen protector so it IS actually possible to make these. I think they're just trying to figure out the proper curvature is all for adherence purposes but otherwise these are doable (albeit may be expensive if/when released).

Experimentation has nothing to do with possibility. They've started experimenting in November and look now, a third of a year later and nothing. Like I said, the only way to do such a proptector is to create a piece that it thicker than the screen of the edge and carve out with a diamond tip the onside of the protector to the curvature of the edge.
One of the researcher for a major cell phone accessory company published an explanation of the challenges of tempered glass protectors in response to the great disappointment of the client following the "halo gate" of the Note 4. The only thing i remember his saying was this:
"You cannot bend tempered glass, you cannot shape tempered glass because it's designed to break in to a million little pieced just like the back window of your car which makes it practically impossible to shape to the contours without giving up something, either strength, flexibility or hardness. The only thing that is possible is carving, just like we carve the side of the protector to be more rounded and pleasant to the touch."
Looking for the ideal tempered glass screen protector is quite a challenge. I'd rather settle with a film protector. There are lots of good quality film protectors that definitely looks like glass, without the glare and all that stuff. I have tried quite a few, the latest was IllumiShield screen protector. So far, it is looking good on my current phone, S4. Most likely, I'll be sticking with this film protector until I found a really,really worth glass shield for the S6. Anyhow, we still have a month to go so hopefully something great would come out.

Case with built in Screen Protector?

Just received my S7 Edge today, I've actually bought the Tech21 case for it.
However with the lack of decent screen protectors at the minute is there not a case which takes care of this for you?
I've had a look around and found an X-Doria Defense 360 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Case – Clear , anybody managed to get one or something similar which isn't too bulky?
Thanks
As i thought the Tech21 Evo Frame case edges must be fairly sharp and I can't get the screen protector to stay down especially up near the top. I've tried both the InvisibleShield Original and the Ultimate Shield one (I am in the UK). Has anybody got one to work with this case?
If not has any got any recommendations for cases with a built in screen protector as mentioned above?
Thanks

Right now they are one of the few that actually makes case-friendly screen protectors. They do ship internationally though.
What is the difference between the case friendly and a regular screen protector? They have a few different option on amazon, but don't explain the difference.
By the looks of the post above compared to what I have got it seems to be cut out more at the top and the bottom corners compared to trying to cover the whole screen. The weakest places with my cover on are up near the very top and bottom so this should help it from not lifting when you put the case on but still cover most of the screen.
Both Skinomi and ArmorSuit make "case-friendly" screen protectors for the GS7E.
I've found one...

it does look cool but its pre order so it not even available
i just bought this one http://tinyurl.com/gkqlckx hope its good as most s7 edge glass protectors are bad even the name brand ones ...
Just received the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 Case. Even though Screen is not glass does not feel that back. No stickiness like plastic films. But for now just had it on for some hours so can't really say for long run yet.
It is a bit wider like a little over 1/4" more than the UAG case. Which adds to black borders on the front as seen on the pictures. So if you already had trouble using it with one hand, this would cause a bit more trouble.
The thickness is about the same as the UAG case when both are facing screen down.
This case advertises Waterproof but has 2 openings for the speaker grill on top and the home button on bottom. I would expect water could get in through those openings. Screen is dot matrix.
The look of the case for me is nice and does not make it look ugly in my perspective. As because the screen guard as they call it make it look like the screen is showing more than some cases that adds front black plastic borders on top and bottom.
The one thing is you might want to use wireless charging more due to having to open up ports more often if using a usb charger.
Here are some pictures I took. Sorry about quality. The best Camera I have is the GS7 edge. lol.
http://imgur.com/a/osNxm
Right now I'm using it with the TANAAB Screen protector.
I'll post more about it. But first reactions seems to be a good case but would depend on how you would see it and if the 1/4" width bigger than a UAG case would be a drawback or not.
It Seems that Ghostek send several out to Mobilefun or Uviyo in batches but haven't shipped through their main site.
Update:
Update about the openings mentioned above. The waterproof works and does not get inside case if there's nothing that raises the area where the openings are. I had the TANAAB TGSP that doesn't go full length of the phone let water in but when removed and tested no water went in. So waiting to test it with a similar TGSP like GPEL2 that fully extends the the phone and see how that works.
When With TANAAB. Sensitivity didn't change and could provide good protection if needed as the outside screen is just a thin plastic film.
Just wanted to point this out.

I just swapped out my Note 7 for the s7 edge and purchased the Defender and has crazy problems with the screen registering the touches. I then removed the screen protector now the phone is loose in the case and the bottoms don't align anymore. So I did the OtterBox warranty and when that case comes in I'll get a refund from Sprint for the Defender and go with a different case. Did you remove the screen protector and have the same button issues? Also like the screen was pushing the phone down in the case which aligned the buttons. Really sucks it just doesn't work without the thick crappy built in screen protector.

I contacted Whitestone. They said the domed glass should be released early September so we could have them before the release date (If the release date is actually Sept 15th).
I really like it on my S8+. A little thick, but no lack of responsiveness. Only other complaint is that dusk collects along the edge of it.
I will be waiting a bit before ordering one

I saw that, they say due in stock in 3 to 5 days. I guess they ship from the UK though, because they said shipping to the US takes 10 to 14 days.
I'm hoping Amazon will get them in at the same time Mobile Fun does. Then I should have it in two days
Does anybody have a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive, but potentially "good" case-friendly glass screen protector?
Obviously, with nobody yet having the devices themselves, it's going to be difficult to assess whether fit, etc, is good, but if anybody has experience of a brand/manufacturer that has done good things on other devices with non-flat screens, then that could be useful to know - I don't plan to use my Note 8 without some protection, and I've always found plastic protectors to be poor with regard to feel and their oleophobic properties, and often attract dust.
I'm thinking I'll get something that will more than likely be cheap, but reasonably performing, until such time as there are reviews of different protector models with experience of being used on the Note 8 before committing myself to a bigger purchase, such as a Zagg or a Whitestone.
I think the only logical screen protector will be those ones that are similar to paint protection film applied on cars. I put one on my wifes S8, didnt look too bad, Used a bit of heat from the hairdryer.

Plastic protectors seem to fall into two categories; stretchy "military grade" stuff which can be a bit "orange peely" and grippy to the touch, and a film which seems to offer less protection, but suffer from finger prints.
Best plastic I've seen is the iCarez on the Note 4, which gave good protection and feel, but was a bit of a dust magnet.
I'll be getting a Skinomi Tech Glass tempered screen protector when they're available. Had them on the Note 2 and Note 5 and on the Tab S 8.4. Haven't disappointed me yet.
Tempered glasses don't fit right on curved edges and you have to touch screen harder for it to respond

glass screen protectors seem to be really bad on edge phones so i really don't want or need one of those. also because i only get a screen protector for minor scratches and not for other reasons like a shattered screen.
also there are so many cheap asia products which seem to be from the same factory but just rebranded with different names. the protectors, the packaging, everything looks the same except the name on it. mostly them, but also many others got so many fake reviews that i will not buy them ever, even if they were really good, which i doubt.
for example stuff from those companys: supcase, profer, cubevit, g-color, danibos, klearlook, moko, yootech and so on. all fake and crap.
i also looked for a s8+ screen protector just so i can see which brand is good and which one i should get for the note 8 but there isn't even something good for the s8+. WTF!!! even the one from spigen seems to be crap.
so can any one in here recommend me a simple nice tpu screen protector with edge sides covered which will also be case friendly???
i had a s4 before and i took of my screen protector 6 months ago. since then i got many minor scratches even tho i got nothing then my phone in my pockets. so i don't want this to happen with my new phone.
please guys im getting crazy here. only 10 more days to find something. thanks!!!
ok i think i will try this one and hope it will be good.
maybe someone else in here tried this brand already on s8/s8+ and can tell me something about it?
thanks!!

I'm not a big fan of plastic protectors - in terms to protecting against scratches they are better than nothing, but generally suffer from poor oleophobic properties, don't feel as "slick" as glass, and sometimes mark up when using the S-Pen.

+1 glass is much better way to go!
i gave in and had best buy put on an invisibleshield hd on my note 8.. I am pleasantly surprised by the nice feel and so far no spen issues with marking..its case friendly and im glad i had them apply it.. (also price matched for $19.99 from zagg) i went through 2 different tempered glass ones off amazon ..Honestly i think im going to keep this one on for the duration.. it fits perfect and since its case friendly theres no lifting up at the edges.
Bought a tempered glass sp for my note, fits perfect even with the Samsung view case

I don't care if it's edge adhesion, I'm just looking for one that won't let water or dust in. Any ideas aside from whitestone?
Maybe it's too early. Have wait for manufacturers to catch up.

The one that came with my case is good. No issues with sensitivity and it's clear. Works well and fits perfectly inside the case.

I wasted my money two times on glass screen protector for my brand new S8 until I bought whitestone glass screen protector. It's very expensive but it's worth to buy it.

Check out the current thread on whitestone. There's no way I'd pay $50 for one protector. I bought three for a fraction of the price of one of theirs and am totally satisfied with the one I'm using now.

There obviously could be a huge variation in the quality of the sticky-edged/dot-matrix type protectors, but it's difficult to imagine any coming close to the performance of the Whitestone with regard to sensitivity, clarity, fit and feel.
The Whitestone isn't cheap, but it is very good.

Yeah I get that. Using the one that I linked, I honestly can't justify paying the price for whitestone. It can't be 5 times better but costing nearly 5 times more.... It needs to be.

Well, the Whitestone is 100 times better than the p.o.s. protector I put on to start off with.

Lol yeah I hear ya. The first one I used was absolutely a p o s.

How is about this Ghostek case? How is the sensitivity? Anyone every try this before?

This works well for me.
Note 8 screen protector/cases
I have the Note 8 with a Zagg HD Clear Invisible Shield (not the glass one) and a Otterbox Defender case. Not happy with either. The Defender case pushes on the edges of the screen protector and it peels up. Not too happy with the Otterbox Defender holster. It's flimsy and doesn't hold on to the case very well. I have problems with my phone being popped or pulled out of the holster of something rubs or catches on it. It comes out pretty easy. It's not held in the holster very well at all. Anyway, I just purchased a Whitestone. I hear they're the best glass protectors. As far as compatible cases, I know there are some YouTube videos that people test screen protectors with various cases.

Yes bro got it off amazon only. 2799/- sale price
Glad i held out because i usually order these as soon as i preorder the phone every year. A little of laziness helped save quite a sizeable chunk of money this time

As for screen protectors, I've had a great experience with amFilm products. In particular the amFilm Ultra curved screen protectors with the UV light gel. They're similar to the Whitestone Dome but a lot more cost effective. It takes patience and a little more time to install than standard tempered glass protectors, but the results are so much better. I have used them on my S10+ and have purchased them for my upcoming S21 Ultra as well.

How's the fingerprint scanner efficiency after it's application? I'm more concerned about that! I have been having issues with screen guards for the last 2 Samsung phones like the S8 because of the curved glass and S10e because it was unpopular! But I am happy with the preinstalled one! It's really good quality and smooth!
Anyone have any experience with Spigen NeoFlex?

One of the worst screen protectors, for me at least. Too much of a rubbery feel, fingers grip the screen, slight orange peel effect. Can't be certain if they've improved it for the S21U, but seeing it's still a wet install - most likely not.

I would suggest that you have a look at gadgetshieldz matte screen screen guard when it launches... It's cheaper and it's better! I've been using it for a long time... It's hard to install but it's good enough!

Fingerprint scanner works fine. Just need to take your time installing the protector and follow the instructions and video. To me tempered glass is just so much better than the rubbery flexible protectors.

The problem is I'm worried about the fingerprint scanner and the ability to get a proper screen guard that covers everything! I've always had a hard time with the same...
Hey guys,
Any suggestions for the case? I am sort of looking for a silicone type case.

None so far if you mean the official silicone style case that I know of... Lots of them will start coming on Amazon really soon! But otherwise you can go for spigen rugged hybrid or ringke onyx or something like that!

Just know this much... It can be a real pain the behind to install it and I've damaged 2 water resistant phones installing it without the installation kit (used tap water) and also remember not to stretch it! If u even for once stretch it... Your entire fitment is gone! But it's a good one nonetheless! I actually would suggest to keep using the factory fitted one as much as you can before changing it!
