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.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] polish_pat:
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
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
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).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] polish_pat:
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."
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] MissyLove:
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.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] ombadboy:
For me tempered glass is more about the protection it provides rather than anything else. I am confident though that someone will come up with a tempered glass solution.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] DanaIrvine:
Hopefully. It's kind of difficult to mold. I've seen and tried a lot in the past, and none work so far. So,I've settled with film protector. I rather do the wet type of film, which covers edge to edge coverage, I mean the entire screen not just the display area. I've tried IQ Shield screen protectors and I have no complaints.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tft:
Found a couple screen protectors for the S6 Edge that doesn't have those huge/weird cutouts for the buttons/speaker. they are both squeegee type protectors which mean they will likely adhere pretty well compared to many protectors for the Note Edge that don't bond well and end up separating (including the Tempered Glass type, IMO much better off.

price is reasonable as well, only 7 bucks, and again, nice cutouts.

IQ Shield LiQuidSkin

also found this one:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] polish_pat:
I guess we'll see. My experience with tempered glass that is applied to a phone with a curve, no matter how small or big, is not good. I tend to see that screen protectors that adhere initially will eventually unstick from the curved part which would let dust and other dirt in. I Have spent close to 50$ trying to find a protector that would not give me a halo but 3 months in and they all ended up unsticking
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tft:
exactly, which is why i recommend with going with something like i posted above. a standard squeegee type film protector. if tempered glass on the Note edge was bad, it will be A LOT worse on the S6 Edge because the edge is on both sides and the bezel is much thinner meaning the any kind of tempered glass will be basically have floating edge on both sides.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Reb0rn:
Here in Sweden one can pre order a glass screen protector from Copter. Copter Exoglass for Galaxy s6 Edge. This made me curios so I asked copter if they will be able to cover the entire screen including the edges. This was their response:

I'm sorry guys. If copter aren't able to do it I guess no other company will...

As somebody stated before. By bending the hardened glass you actually make it weaker because that what's the glass is designed NOT to take. Its supposed to crack if slightly hit by an object or dropped...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Looks like most of us here will have only one of 4 possible options:

Get a glass screen protector that doesn't cover the curve

Go for cheap/flimsy soft film (not plastic but rubbery-type film) screen protector

Actually need to get a case

Risk device scratches/drop damage

Personally, I'm more inclined to just get a case rather than deal with the stickiness of that rubbery film (they're nice but they get damaged/peeling way too easy and are far beyond as pleasant to slide your finger on than glass.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] kendrick8997:
Hey, "need" is the mother of invention. If we need a glass screen protector for it, I'm sure they'll make some sort of science that makes it work. I have faith.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] atuarre:
You will be waiting a very long time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] polish_pat:
Need might be the mother of invention but profit is the motivation of perseverance. I doubt anybody will buy a 50$ screen protector...so maybe I need a screen protector but I'm not paying that much to get one
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tft:
there will probably be many tempered glass options to buy, but you'll likely be getting is snake oil. a lot of these Chinese companies make products to make a quick buck, but the majority don't work as they claim.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] RaptorMD:
In the OP the image they used isn't even a GS6 Edge to begin with and at that price you know its like to lose adhesion soon after. I suspected that curved screen protectors would be a ways out from concept to reality given Samsung is the first to go for this screen design and given they are having yield issues of their own I wonder what the challenges are for tempered glass makers.

So it will be the standard film protection because thing and and do scratch Gorilla Glass, its not made of Sapphire Glass or Diamonds so in the end even a little bit of protection is better than none. The 3M film based protectors are great hold up very well, but application can be a bit tricky and not recommended if you plan to use any type of stylus (or on a Galaxy Note phone) since the material will take the indent from the stylus pressure and make it no so nice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
I don't think this will work. The manufacturer would have to get the fitting perfect to the micrometer for it properly stick down.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] savannahluv:
I'd rather go with a film protector over a glass one. .Given the curves, I doubt I could ever find one that would perfectly fit. I'm leaning for IllumiShield screen protectors. They're really tough and durable yet without the bulky kind of feeling
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tharindunw:
Yeah it is correct I think that is not hard work to this company.

As I saw their's Facebook video.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tayluft:
I completely agree, but I fully believe in the customer review system. I know for sure that SOMEONE is going to design one that works, and the reviews would be indicative of it's awesomeness.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] camnop:
Looks nice!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] rasido:
oh very good. I like it
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] ingrid09:
what about the case?I think it's more difficult.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] wafcarl:
I want Tempered Glass, but not at the expense of ruining the phones aesthetics. To get one for the iPhone 6 has been a nightmare, so no way are we going to get one for this.

I'll be getting the Clear View case and a good standard screen protector.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tayluft:
Yeah, the iphone 6 people had a pretty rough time getting a good one. My friends just don't use one, and that curve was nothing as compared to this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
I had absolutely no issues getting one for the iPhone 6 Plus. Obviously it had to stay away from the edges of the screen quite bit but 90% of the overall face was covered and I only spent ~$8 on it. I think that eventually we might see one for the edge that works mostly, but if ATT ends up getting the Green Edge I won't be able to resist it and will end up going with either a plastic one or naked for the first time in a long time. Otherwise I'll just get a standard S6 if ATT does not get the Green Edge and hopefully by the S7 Edge we will have some decent options for tempered glass.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] polish_pat:
You cant compare the iPhone to the edge. The iPhone has rounded edges, the edge has serious curves. You can live with a 2mm gap between the edge of the Tempered glass and the bezel, just like i do on the note 4, you cant do that on edge as its more like 10mm and your fingers will feel the same way with a Tempered glass without full coverage as your car feels when it passes over a speed bump.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
I wasn't comparing it to the edge, I was responding to the guy that said people had problems getting a glass one for the iPhone 6. I have a note 4 and an iPhone 6 plus and I am getting serous halos on my note 4 so I am aware of the curves and how they don't play well with tempered glass. I am most likely gonna grab a pet film one or just go naked with on of those sleek Samsung flip cover cases.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] wafcarl:
Promising you reckon?

https://www.gocellular.ca/?item=am6172
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
This is very exciting, if that one works it'd be awesome. However, at the very least it shows companies are trying to make them and I'm sure one will be successful eventually. It probably will be more expensive but anyone who wants the edge is already paying a premium, makes sense to pay a premium for a glass protector too.

Considering the irregular website, and the fact that users cannot post links until they have ten posts, I am inclined to believe that you are simply a worker that this place, putting links in tech forums to boost sales.... I would say, no, not toooo promising.

Please do; I am intrigued
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] jsinbrown777:
Looking at the pictures for the amzer sp. The top/bottom and sides show a shade darker. I'm thinking it may be a thin plastic with a tempered glass center. That would explain how they are able to manufacturer it well dealing with the cureved screen.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] wafcarl:
Few starting to pop up, hope this one's ok. May take a chance

You're inclined to think I work there are you?

I'm a Chemical Engineer in The UK you plonker. Not the sharpest knife in the box are you? :laugh:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Slaughter59:
As a futur S6 edge owner, I think i'm gonna use official clear cover ( not the "view "one) plus some liquid armor or liquid shield. It's supposed to help with finger print on the screen, so, since it's a bit problematic on S6...

Of course i'm interested in tempered glass... But it's probably gone to be long for manufacturer to creat THE perfect edge to edge glass.

Have you seen the angry drop (throw) test? It's very impressive!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
Thanks for the link buddy, for a second it looks like its not going to stick down on the sides where the curve starts. Looks good though, will wait for some links for where to buy and have a try once the phones out.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tharindunw:
whenever I received info i will let you know

Just ordered this one heres a link its not getting released till next week though

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] willstilson:
The description says it's not glass. The pics indicate that it is rigid and permanently shaped like the S6E's screen. If it isn't glass, then what is it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] nycdrifter:
Gorilla glass 4
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] vz57ssz:
In aus we are still very limited, I will only be using the spigen crystal view that came with my case.

I want to find a good quality full protector, once some start to show up.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] willstilson:
Lol, na it's a wet apply film. I checked the Cellbee website and confirmed.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] nycdrifter:
Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize that you where referring to the screen protector I thought you were talking about the actual lcd screen. I really need to not respond on forums while drinking...

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

I think we're going to be waiting a while for tempered glass though. At least a month after the official release
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] willstilson:
agreed
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
Where do you see its a wet apply film? It says its 9H+ hardness which realistically can only be reached by most likely a hard polycarbonate. It is marketed similarly to their Tempered Glass screen protectors so I assume it's comparable to a glass one and is rigid.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] willstilson:
This is NOT a glass made protector, due to the curve edge of the phone, item is made of high impact absorb soft material. Ultra clear Shock-resistant layer under the protector. High touch sensitivity. - See more at: http://www.cellbeeusa.com/shop/sams...ss-2-5d-curved-edge.html#sthash.aHJ2GFI8.dpuf

I don't see where it says wet apply? I have read that many times and I orderd one even a week ago. I'm not sure you read my question fully or their description.

Email from Amzer

I just got this email from Amzer...

Greetings from Amzer

At amzer we believe in going to the unknown space and heights when launching any new product thus announced industries first curved edge2edge tempered glass. Our engineers were successful to produce a curved glass, a milestone in this domain only achieved by Amzer, however they are currently facing some issue with the glue and the product is not as per our standard.

Please be assure that we are working hard to fix this issue. We will not able to keep our ETA promise thus cancelling your order and as a courtesy sending you a SlimGrip Hybrid case for your s6 edge free of cost.

As of today we do not have a eta for this product but rest assured when we will ship the product it will be beyond comparison.

We are very sorry for letting you down.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Same :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Peanuttree:
I was so hopeful. I just put the Spigen Flex HD on my s6 Edge and it doesn't look very smooth.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] wase4711:
I posted this in another thread, but thought it might help some of you out here..

would definitely recommend this as the best alternative until a real glass one comes around, if it ever does..

quick update on the skinomi screen protector; got mine earlier, installed it, it goes on perfectly, fits the entire screen like a glove, and now just waiting for the thing to settle in a bit before I turn the phone on. It covers the entire screen about 99.9%, so until there is an all glass option, this is DEFINTELY the way to go, especially for the 4 dollar price on Amazon!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] azibux1:
What do you mean by smooth? Has it got bubbles in?

I received mine today

EDIT: Just realised, are you referring to the actual texture/feel from the material of the protector? If so, I'm not 100% sure I like that non-glass like feel either
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Trahald:
Hi guys,

What are the best options for back side of the phone(tempered glass or regular screen protector)? There are some options on Amazon and Ebay but I can't decide which one to choose! Is anybody using any brand for back side of the phone?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Peanuttree:
Hi Azibux1,

I'm talking about the texture of the material. After the bubbles are gone it just doesn't look very good, not like a glass protector. It also holds on to oil like crazy.

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

What is the texture like?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] azibux1:
Hmmm not good... I suppose it is better than nothing for now :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] kendrick8997:
Yeah, I'm sure they will develop something in the future that fits the bill. We will just have to wait and see.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] shenan24:
oh but the s6 edge scratched like a ***** you have no idea
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Haze69:
Hey check out the dry version of Zagg for the S6 Edge. I got it at my local verizon store as I couldn't find any dry install screen protectors that cover edge to edge online and it looks great. Took a day to self heal all the bubbles and looks great now!

http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...ld-dry-for-samsung-galaxy-s-6-edge-full-body/
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Dmw017:
May look great but I dropped Zagg years ago because of the orange peel effect of their screens. They claim this one feels like glass and doesn't compromise on feel. But what do you think? Is it tacky at all, or does it hold onto oil or fingerprints excessively? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] plaxy:
Maybe T-glass is not viable but Poly-Carbonate has come along way can get real thin and as hard as glass and much easier to form in a press.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] sweets55:
I'm picky and that Verizon would annoy me how it goes the speaker and home button. lol I know with the Flex my Otterbox screen protector came up in a few weeks from putting the phone in my pocket. Not sure if that would happen on the Edge.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Haze69:
I would have to agree with you and say I also hate Zagg screen protectors. They feel awful and have a bunch of tiny indents in it as if it has been poked 100 times. I think its due to the material and type of application with the spray. The "Dry" version i bought seems to be very different from that kind. There is no spray involved (which is the only reason I tried it) and actually looks good. The screen protector feels very smooth and the few bubbles left from the install "cured" themselves after 2 days and has not even one bubble (the same has happened with the one i applied to my gf's s6 edge, 0 bubbles). I wouldnt say it feels like glass but it doesnt feel like the rubber normally found on the Zagg (spray solution) kind. It doesn't hold onto fingerprints but it does seem to hold onto oils but not excessively.

My recommendation would be to buy it at your local verizon and try it, let it cure for 2-3 days and if you still dont like it, you have 14 days to return it. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] kendrick8997:
Good advice. I also don't care for the low quality and high price tag of the zagg screen protectors. I've found that by exploring around on amazon, you can use reviews and find some pretty good quality screen protectors for whatever phone you are looking for.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] uscool:
anyone used a back tempered glass, im looking at this one and wondering if the back tempered glass goes to the edge

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] wase4711:
I have a film type on the back and its kinda crappy, and it doesnt go all the way to the edge, but its better than nothing

Have you gotten any prices on this one?

thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] frozex:
interesting
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] RaptorMD:
FYI, I purchased that Nillikin package off of amazon.com for my S6 (non-edge) thinking it was a tempered glass back, its NOT. Its tempered glass on the front and film for the back. Disappointed.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Son Lam:
I was glued to the screen protecting my S6 edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] crystalsrt:
the protector you mention is not good at customer feedback
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] yyy999deba:
It will cover the edge? If so, It will stick on it firmly?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Synyster06Gates:
So it looks like there's no real good choices for a edge covering tempered glass screen protector. I really need SOMETHING though - after only one day I've noticed 3 hairline scratches (very small, but still) that can be felt with the fingernail. No idea where they came from and I didn't check it close enough to see them in the store. What's recommended that feels at least somewhat like glass and looks good?

Edit : I should have waited. I went to Best Buy and had them install the Zagg HD Clear screen protector on my phone. It's a wet installation ( and I've never had a screen protector before) and there's bubbles underneath all over the place. He said they will disappear in 24-48 hours but it's driving me insane. I want to rip it off. I will say it's a good fitting edge to edge cover.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tayluft:
I would just get an amfilm screen protector. They've always worked for me in the past. Even though it's not glass, this one should be pretty good.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] wase4711:
Zagg sucks; I peeled mine off a day or two after installing it, and even tried a second one at BB, but it sucked just as much...Gonny try the Amfilm one; 2 of them for 6 bucks is not bad, and lots of great reviews on it..
