I just recently got the Skinomi Tempered Glass and the edges rose up and made clicking noise when I press down on it. I had bad sensitivity issues on the left side and email Skinomi to get another one. I was going to re-align but was afraid that it would go bad if I did. So glad I read all of your post and just realign my glass and the sensitivity went away.

TYVM
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Mikeonic:
Be careful! I lifted mine off again because I needed to move it a little to the right and it shattered easily.... Be careful
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] RMXO:
Which one did you have and that sucks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Mikeonic:
I had Skinomi... I'm going to send in a picture and get another since they offer warranty.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] RMXO:
Interesting and good to know. GL on your new one. Skinomi has great CS, here's their reply when I asked for a new glass earlier today.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] DroidBoss07:
Same here, got mine in about 3 days ago and it wouldn't adhere to the edges perfectly, causing insensitivity on the left side when i pressed it down it would shift to the right side making it unusable. I took it off and put it back and now it comes off all the time as the glue isn't strong enough anymore. I sent them a claim for replacement and received that email let's hope it goes through. The quality seemed really good and the look of it was really nice.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] shadowk91:
I didn't really read into the whole description until today. I was surprised to see they are naming there newly packaged product 'G2 Generation 2 Curvy Border'. I'm also kind of glad I read the description properly today as they state:

which makes me want to wait that extra little bit longer to get the newly packaged version. For anyone that receives this, please let us know the packaging it arrived in (Old or New from the pictures in the description).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] cipri28:
That message wasn't there when i placed my order. I'll ask the seller and see what package did he/she sent me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] lilmikey201:
Ya skinomi is bad or at least this one. I have to press down hard and the screen makes that clicking noise
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] cipri28:
This is the message that i received from Amzer when i asked them about using the same glass witch is already in circulation.

...and this is the answer from aliexpress glass-m seller
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] shadowk91:
I had a similar reply from Amzer, they don't have any of the protectors in stock. For me, that's pretty much telling me they are waiting for something to come in from China or something (maybe the newly released Gen 3's like Glass M) and still doesn't re-assure my doubts. I really wish they would show pictures/videos with the product actually being applied onto a real s6 edge, showing the adhesive strength, the compatibility with bumper cases (like Spigen NeoHybrid), and showing the sensitivity. Sadly I've asked a few too many times, and they've always kept coming back with the same excuse that they don't have any in stock right now.

I wonder what made Glass M want to change the packaging? Nice to know it's the same Glass. I look forward to seeing some reviews up on here soon.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Cristianop:
Don't get it. Is glass m from the aliexpress seller? Isn't it 3rd Gen glass?

Ordered it few days ago in green with express shipping and should arrive someday next week. Then I'll make a review.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] pamarakos:
I wish one of the manufacturers will come with a totally clear one as promised by amzer at least!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] :
Keep an eye on http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/336...SX110_SY165&keywords=tempered+glass+s6+edgeHe said he will soon have a clear version up soon
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] pamarakos:
Where can I check their updates?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] bagged00:
Judging by the fact he is advertising 2nd gens he may be talking about getting 2nd gen clear ones.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] pamarakos:
But 2nd gen won't be fully clear one, right? It will have that 'not clear adhesive' top and bottom, right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] :
All we can do is wait and see
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] bagged00:
Correct. It'll have that metallic looking boarder.

Some details on the protector and application:

Confirming it is 100% fully curved tempered glass

Confirming it is 100% truly Generation 3 (first one available outside China)

This glass also appears to be thinner than Generation 2

Fitting the glass is far easier than Generation 2 glass as all the cutouts are 100% perfect and line up with all sensors/buttons without even a small issue

Just like Generation 2, no matter how I apply it I cannot see a single bubble as per the adhesive (likely the same "Corning Imported Glue")

Unfortunately touch-sensitivity still appears to be imperfect and slightly hindered in the areas that aren't fully seated onto the screen but I would rate it

7 out of 10

(usable) where Generation 2 would be

5 out of 10

(unpleasant to use)

If you apply it properly it should line up a lot better than Generation 2 glass does

A big tip when applying to help with touch-sensitivity is to push the center/middle of the glass as far down to the screen first (without breaking of course) and gradually pushing outward to the edges

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] lilmikey201:
this is the link that everyone has been sharing and talking about, theres a review with pics in the last page
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Batfink33:
Open1your1eyes0 confirmed it's 3rd gen, he's even posted pics above.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Certainly has the shimmering color-shifting effect like the original materials Samsung uses on the device. Sapphire blue in one light, deep black in another. :good:

This manufacturer is unaware of the Generation 1 I mentioned in the OP (since it was never really released for mass production). To them, the real Generation 2 (as listed in OP) is Generation 1 (or as they call it on the packaging "A Generation") since that's what they originally started producing themselves until switching to this new one.

Here's a photo I forgot to add earlier to my unboxing (added now) that shows the back of the box and how they explain their generations: http://i.imgur.com/q3YQ0iY.jpg

Also I figured out this is apparently the brand that is ordering these from the original manufacturer "Shenzhen Topter Communication Company Limited". They call themselves Glass4M and this is their site. http://glass4m.com/ (Unfortunately doesn't list the S6 Edge product just yet).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] klebengan:
just bought one too :o

so how about the touch sensitivity so far? is it ok?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Wiidesire:
I think a clear one would look worse. Any pictures/impressions after application yet open1your1eyes0?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] pamarakos:
I hope it will be really clear like every clear glass all previous years on all previous phones I had and it will look like nothing is on if it is truly clear...I dont know...we ll see if they can do it!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] spinedoc:
Anyone find a black one WITHOUT the cutout for the Samsung logo? I'm very confused why there is a cutout, does anyone actually want to see the awful logo? I was hoping to find a black protector which covers the logo, giving it that nice sleek iPhone look.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Batfink33:
I like the logo, I wouldn't buy a full screen protector without cutouts.

Hi*

Will you produce a clear version??*

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Cristianop:
Don't like touch responsibility. Reminds me on older screens where u had to press hard to have an input. Especially on the edges i have to press several times to hsve desired letter.

Just took protector off cuz don't like the sensitivity. Just sucks xD

Thickness is good. When u swipe over the Homebutton u feel that protector is higher But is good.

Resume. I think i will put the the urcover, that also arrived today on my display.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] ChazyChaz:
can you return it ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] rubaiet:
I purchased the gen 1 so called tempered glass screen protector when it first came out. It costs £27 including postage and the product was a total disaster. I returned it immediately. Since then I've purchased a tpu screen protector for my GS6 edge. It gives whole screen protection with zero loss of transparency. It's almost invisible and there is no loss of touch responsiveness. Although it does feel a bit rubbery but it's nothing that bothers me. And it cost me £3.95. I'm not going to chase after tempered glass screen protector as it will never be as good as my tpu protector for the edge version. And the price is just extortionate. I don't understand why people are still going crazy over the idea of tempered glass screen protector for GS6 edge!! It's clearly inferior to anything else on the market at an inflated price.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Batfink33:
I have TPU protector on just now and I hate it. The lack of oliophobic coating, the rubber feel, the slight loss of color of the screen, they're horrible.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] shadowk91:
I've purchased multiple protectors and cases. I've found the Gen 2 Glass Protector (Aligned properly to fix sensitivity issues) is by the far the best option possible. The plastic screen protector's either don't cover the edges or are improperly cut or will peel from the edges after a while. Also, many of them are easily scratched/damaged with fingernails.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] rubaiet:
I agree with you on the rubber feel. But I haven't experienced any loss of colour. Also, mine seem to have oleophobic coating on as well. I guess we have different units that's why different experiences.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

I've been using mine for over 6 weeks. So far it sticks well and cover the whole screen. And yes you can damage with firm press with fingernails. But I think it's only relevant if you are a female with long fingernails or deliberately trying to damage it. I've seen many users complaining that the gen 2 tempered glass causes reduced touch sensitivity. I don't know about others but for me this is a big minus point. I want a fluid touch experience. And I won't compromise this for anything.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] cipri28:
I found this screen today thst seems to be gen3 also. I think is the first screen which has in description a A++ on quality. Don't know how good is the japan AB glue they used.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Alright guys, I know you've all been eagerly awaiting for me to apply this thing to my device and I finally got some time to do it (I had a good feeling about this one so I wanted to make sure I could be available a nice dust-free room for this and just did it now).

Taking shots as we speak and I will be updating my post shortly, stay tuned: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61808571&postcount=841

Before I post anything, just going to say quickly this one is already magnitudes better than Gen 2 (TLDR: upgrading to this was worth it for me even from the short usage I just experienced here).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] rodion.zissou:
Thank you! Could we get some photos of installation and after?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Post has been updated!: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61808571&postcount=841

Apologies in advance for the poor quality this time. This was taken with a non-S6 quality camera. ;P

Unfortunately I have no way to take photos of the installation process without affecting the quality of the process or photos but honestly they are all pretty straightforward. Just peel the plastic film from the rear-adhesive and apply the screen protector so all cutouts lineup perfectly (pushing from the center of the glass outward towards the edges for best application). Not too much to it. : )
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
I found another Generation 3 listing for you guys!

This is also Glass-M brand but this one is produced by our old friends at iLINK (first of the Gen-2 series). :good:

What's different on this listing is they offer the color Galaxy S6 Edge "Iron Man Edition" red. ;)

Added to OP
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Also as a personal note, although I find Generation 3 at least acceptable this time, there is

definitely

room for improvement I would say.

Whether it takes another new Generation (Gen 4?) that fixes the adhesive issue once and for all or going with an exclusive model like Amzer (still waiting for my preorder to arrive), I would still be interested in replacing this one with a more reliable model.

At least we're definitely seeing improvement in the market so that is good news.

Generation 3 improvements over Generation 2

Fixed the colored border to use the same materials as the original device

Fixed the misaligned cutouts for buttons and sensors

Improved on touch-sensitivity but not by too much since adhesive-used appears to react the same way
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] bagged00:
Ready to see what amzer has to offer. Think its weird days before their release they still haven't posted photos. I won't be surprised if they don't make the deadline
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Powell730:
Exactly my thought.. And no offense, but horrible English.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] tofu-:
so touch sensitivity indeed sucks? that's unfortunate. no matter how great the screen protector might look and feel, if touch response is flaky, i consider it unusable. Oh well. Maybe I'll be able to file a claim and get a half refund

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

i noticed something interesting....

In the stock photos, there is a precision cutout for the samsung logo, as there is with the one you received. If you scroll down to their own photos of the product, there is just an oval cutout. Maybe there are two companies applying adhesive/paint? Or there were minor revisions somewhere along the line?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Very good point, it could definitely be a different revision but it's hard to say how much different (other than the cutouts) they really are. Unfortunately, at this point I have spent way more than enough money getting different variants of Gen-2 (finding out that they're all the same), finding out one brand's render wasn't exactly 100% accurate to real-life (we all know who that one was), just getting the first Gen-3, and preordering Amzer as well. I think I definitely overspent on this device as it is (over $180+ worth of glass screen protectors) so I'm going to let other folks test out other Gen-3 variants if they're willing. As much as I love helping you guys out with all this information and testing, I think my wallet is starting to beg for a little break. :p Personally, I'm holding out for Amzer as my last (and looks to be most promising) test piece and then if nothing new comes along I will decide which one I will personally settle on from there.

From now on the only new models I will buy for testing are proven-exclusive variants or Gen-4+ (if there will be any of the such).

This isn't Gen 3 sir.

As I read, Gen 3 is better than nothing and rest of tempered glasses but still not perfect enough for touch responsive. 20+ $ isn't cheap, so I will wait for better products.
