Is there a consensus for a good TPGS? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories

EDIT: Fudge I messed up the title. It should be TGSP.
I recently got a S7 edge and I want to protect it. I dislike cases since they usually destroy the design of the phone and usually just use Tempered Glass Screen Protectors. The S7 edge has notoriously terrible ones though. I bought the one by BENTOBEN since it was recommended on reddit but it turned out to be as terrible as all the other ones. Lots of popping and horrible sensitivity issues. The most important factor for me is sensitivity.
Has there been a consensus for the best or at least a really good TGSP for the S7 edge? I did some light research on this forum and it seems that people are leaning towards the GPEL V2 currently.
Is that the best one on the market right now?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

For a colored TGSP, the GPEL 2nd gen is the best ATM. For a fully clear TGSP, it seems to be the AmazingThing TGSP.
Between the 2, I prefer GPEL b/c it hides the Samsung logo & GPEL fixed the sparkly sheen issue.

As above. However, there is no perfect TGSP. If you like to use cases and change cases a lot, forget about a TGSP and go for a case friendly TPU self healing film from the likes of Best Skins Ever.

I almost never use cases and rely solely on TGSP. What are the downsides to the GPEL 2?

i'm not a materials expert but i think screen protectors will only prevent scratches, not cracks. ( i think someone explained the difference between hardness and toughness in a different thread)
anyway, the forum favorites are spigen, and a new one called just like glass. search for em, plenty of threads talk about them.
if you want crack protection, what you're hunting for is a good case...and considering your history, i'd say go for the otterbox defender.
seen the threads on them... right now the JLG looks good
my main problem is what type to buy, not the brand (also an issue but lesser one)
DRY vs WET vs GLASS, thats the issue
as for cracks... never killed a screen (S1, S2 , Note1...) but i see people who does and also as i see it the new gorilla 2 glass is... well... not that good
Mode of installation doesn't really tell you much about the screen protector.
Zagg/bse/ghost armor/etc are all wet install, just like jlg but they are completely different categories of screen protector.
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Go with JLG. No problem with the spen and it dont feel like rubber on your finger. The only thing is the rainbow effect but it just happen for me with the screen off.
Realook is the best. http://www.ebay.com/itm/REALOOK-Sam...046765?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7bea296d
Again, everyone's opinion varies.
The best surface is glass; if you want to glide your fingertips on a oem like silky smooth surface. Glass also has endurance, unlike polymers, one glass protector can last the life of your phone; and yet remain virtually undetectable.
I am using xgear, the voyager 2 to cover my gnote..and I must say...it has garnered blatantly covetous stares along with many serendipitous glances. It's as though I'm running round in my birthday suit.

All you need is a case, in my humble but accurate opinion glass protectors are useless. It's like putting a black bra on a White Ferrari.
Wouldn't the bra protect you car?

Not really the best of analogies, but yeah, for most of the stuff the "Ferrari" would go through, the "bra" would protect it and I'd rather have the bra be damaged and replaced later. Unless it's a collision, in which case of course, no amount of bras will protect the car.
Of course we all would prefer them without the bra, but most times, the bra is necessary to keep them in prestine shape, especially in the long run, so whenever the bra is taken off, they will still looks nice and perfect.
+1 for JLG!! been wonderful for me, & great DEV!! Just do a search!
[/QUOTE]Which case are you using with the glass protector?[/QUOTE]
I've just been using an oem flip cover. Not much protection away from carpeted floors or a coat pocket am afraid. I'm considering some real world protection myself.
The glass sits just to the inside of the phones metal band. It adds .4mm and the glass edge is beveled.
To see if a particular case might fit, take a look at the Xgear site. They show a couple of cases they sell for the S3 that might help provide some guidance with chosing a compatible case for the N2 fitted with a glass protector. Wish I had more for you, but the bleeding edge can't be all fun and game.....

I personally think all these screen protectors either wet or dry are supplied by probably a dozen major manufacturers in Asia so the difference in most of them are packaging/marketing. I like dry installs, they are straightforward with less chance of screwup plus the fact you'd be exposing your $700 device with water and soap?
Something like this Korean PET based dry install, same as posted in this thread at 3x less, it's what I have for the gn2 and n7

If you want absolute full screen protection, but don't care about using your s pen then go spigen or zagg. If you want absolute clarity, solid protection and a smooth surface that will not get marked up by your s pen, but does not cover every square mm of your screen, then get JLG. If you just want cheapo then you got the wrong phone

Help with Protection..

OK, anyone willing to help, please do, others please ignore.
I'm looking for a good case for the Note 4 I am waiting for to arrive.
As of now I have a Note 2 using the UAG hard case.. What are some suggestions y'all have for a case for the Note 4?? I prefer a "slimmer" design, but one with good protection. OtterBox is just too big and bulky for my taste.. I would also like to know what y'all think about screen protection.. We all know the DIY screen protection film, but what's everyone's opinion and experience with the "adhered" glass protectors, a stand alone or included with a case... Hope this makes sense.. Also hope this is in the right section, I tried "Accessories" but the forum was blank and gave me a error.

Hey Birdman. I've tried a few cases for my N4. I LOVE my current case. It's the Spigen Neo-Hybrid Metal. It's slim, while providing adequate protection and yet... looks slick as hell.
Here's the amazon link...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MA...&dpID=517hJeLjbsL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
as far a screen protection? I've got the Zagg Mirror Glass. It'd a Best Buy exclusive. So far... it's slick. I'm not a fan of the standard films.
Hope this helps ... and enjoy your N4!
I have the speck candyshell on mine and love it. Tech 21 are also great cases as far as being very slim but great protection. Also highly recommend a tempered glass screen protector. I got mine on Amazon for like $15 and has a lifetime warranty.
I spent a whole 7.55 each off 2 cases with swivel belt clips off ebay. Anyone who pays more than $20 for a case just isnt very bright. I dont need slim or flashy, i need protection and durability. Did the same with my nexus 5, never cracked a screen. I dont use a protector. If i drop my phone, it bounces. This case is gantastic. Its a generic 3 piece hybrid with belt clip. Purchased in 2 colors for 16.05 delivered, free shippi g, 2 cases

Yeah, I ended up buying a Caseology and the tempered glass screen protector.. The tempered glass should do me great, working on cars day in and day out really takes a toll on the flimsy screen protectors. With everyday use it gets pretty dull quickly since I can't always wash and sanitize my hands before responding to a text, etc.. My past 2 phones I've used the UAG cases and they're great, but I'm ready for a change in look. Thought about getting one if the cases (forgot which one exactly) that the guy Flossy on YouTube reviews. It was all aluminum, gold finish, bezel and back for the phone, looked so damn nice. Where he lost me though was when he said he lost a bar or 2 of reception. Still might buy one also anyway cuz it was pimpin LOL.

Flossy is great!! I always check his reviews before I buy. Thats how I got turned onto the Spigen cases.

Are there any cases that will protect the screen from drops?

I just picked up a regular S7 and I'm finding the screen a little small (coming from a G3).
I'd like to try the Edge but I'm very worried about breaking the screen. I drop my phone a lot (I run heavy equipment in rough environments). I have an OB Defender on my S7 now.
Are there any case options for the S7E that will really hold up to frequent abuse?
I only have a day to exchange phones so I'd really appreciate any insight.
Thanks,

If you dont mind the bulky-eness the UAG is the way to go! Great protection and add a glass protection, since you are on rough environment.
Beware that no case will protect you if you drop it from a decent height , face down on a rock for example.

Sure. There are some ridiculous contraptions out there that wrap the phone all way round with glass, metal, plastic and whatever else they could find. Probably keeps it 'safe' if you don't mind it looking like the original Motorola brick phone .

From what I've read there's not a single glass screen protector made for the S7E that actually works properly. Does your experience suggest otherwise?

In my experience, nothing is 100% drop proof..
I had my iPhone 6s which i use as a second work phone, drop from 20 cm @ the swimming pool shattered at 2 corners wearing a glass shield. Had it fallen many many times from ear height, and nothing happened..
**** happens.
Yeah on the Edge phones, solutions on glass protections are limited. I ve tried a no-name glass, which left the sides uncovered, and where the glass curves left a small but noticable gap. Threw it @ 1 day .
I ll be ordering a Skinomi shield skin which in my past experience with the Note Edge worked really really well and curved nice without being noticed. Now i ran an IQ shield which i ll be replacing cause the case lifts the edges after 1 week of use.
Otterbox and I hate otterbox. I have dropped this phone s7 edge 4 times and every time it's been perfect.

Otterbox Defender. As frustrating as the screen protector is, you just have to try to get used to it
VZ S7 EDGE ONYX
I'd recommend the Otterbox Commuter Series. I've had it on my S7 edge from day one and its taken a fair few drops from 5ft onto hardwood/concrete/tiles. Phone is perfect, case is a lil roughed up but you gotta look closely to notice it.
The screen is raised above the floor by rubber 'lips'. Headphone and Charging ports are covered by flaps.
The Commuter does not have the bulk of the Otterbox Defender. Commuter offers great protection IMO.

I ended up getting both the Defender and the Commuter.
I think the Defender will stay on most of the time, unless crap gets in between the screen protector and the phone like the defenders did on my other phones... it does seem to have a tight fit, though.... we'll see.
I liked the Commuter but I couldn't find a screen protector that worked well with it.

If that's the requirement and you don't depend on any of the Samsung specific features, get a Pixel XL with the fattest toughest case you can find. It is the pinnacle of large screen meets best performance meets long battery life.
Buy this case. I took the built in screen protector out and use a Zagg invisible screen HD because it's softer and would absorb more if hit. This case has the most raised edges out of all the cases I've seen. It's duel layered and I've dropped my phone about 20 times and some on concrete and no damage.

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.)

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!

Are you going to use a Case (poll)

The phone is beautiful, but all that glass...
I always keep cases and screen protectors on my phones. I am too paranoid not to.
Most likely not. I want to keep the phone as thin and compact as possible, not have sharp edges when holding it (usually on the sides or the charging/speaker cutouts), it really ruins the look and feel of the phone, and after some use the cases and screen protectors get all scratched up since it's plastic.
I'm using an otterbox on mine simply because I'm forever dropping my phone at work and don't want to damage the phone.

Accidents happen so a case it will be

I use the Rhinoshield crash guard. Its a bumper so the front and rear are open. But they test there crash guard @ 11 ft drops.
I have one on my s8 plus and its great. And see tons of drop videos from high drop and the phone works.
So im going to stick with that.
I do like the feel of a casless phone and that is the closest i can get to it. Rather have something and not need it then need it and not have it.
I see some of you guys have a screen saver!!!
When did any brand manage to make a screen saver that worked on any Galaxy edge device? I have owned the lot and tried dozens of panzer glass, plastic, part fitting, glued and goodness knows what and have never found a satisfactory screen saver for a device with that bloomin curved edge.
To that end I always use a case then keep it in a shocksock or a wallet type case that is most annoying to use but offers all around protection. I have even paid nearly 60.00€ for the official Samsung LED cover on several of my mobiles because I can't find a screen saver. Helppppp.
Please tell me what screen saver you have found. I would be very much obliged. Thanks.

I'm using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and a Spigen Neo Flex screen protector. I like the Neo Hybrid cases because they don't add much bulk and have been great for protection, even minor drops on my previous phones.

Since my S8+ been using cases. Just ordered this one on Ebay.

I got 2 (probably only will keep one):
Ringke Onyx ($4)
Caseology Vault ($5)
Both TPU, which is my preference. I love the corner coverage for little bumps and falls. I have never had issues with breaking phones so it's just a little peace of mind for me.
I always get the Samsung clear case, they're nice and thin and fit will, providing some protection.
@ Ryland Johnson, try this. I have one on my s8+ and its great.

I will put a full body wet install protector film, then I will use a thin, very thin case, and on certain ocasions, an urban armor ash color, magma series case
