I definitely got the black one. In all honesty I was pretty bummed that the edge only came in sapphire black or whatever, either way it still looks blue and I would rather a black phone just like my samsungs in the past, I have a black case so the back isn't really visible either and I like that I can finally have my "Black Phone"

This so called Olixar Tempered glass screen protector seems to look suspiciously like the Transparent Protector from: iLINK TECH Co.,Ltd" (AliExpress)

which I received today. Looked and felt like plastic to me but the video seems to re-assure me.

My guess is that there is actually one company that makes all these and then sells them in mass quantity to other companies who then re-brands it. I will be applying this on later today, so will drop a few photos to show what I mean.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Cristianop:
Do you really believe that what u wrote?

Olixar is still in pre production. Other brands on Alibaba for example have already a lot of protectors (mass production).

If it would be like you said then olixar would already ship them. And they aren't.

However make some fine pictures/video , especially if there are frost or ghosting and please post link from Muhammed Aliexpress where u bought it.

Alright folks, after doing quite a bit of research here, it seems almost all the protectors currently available on the market are sourced from the same Chinese factories with the same designs. Just being rebranded and resold in different locations is all.

If you look closely at all of them, all the black models have the sparkle edging and all the clear models have the thick "ghosting" glue residue visible. This was not the case on the originally promised truly clear designs by the likes of Amzer, Olixar, iLINK, and others before they started getting the new designs and now readying to ship. It was likely changed due to the difficulty in using regular silicone adhesive (lots of bubbling, poor application and such) so they had to switch to a different adhesive with a new design.

As far as I'm aware it's all Corning Imported Glue with some form of either (most commonly) Corning Glass or similar types.

As of now, the only brand that seems to be fairly promising (although we have no certain proof at this time) in releasing a truly clear design is likely Amzer. As you can see per this review on Amazon from a very early batch that just a few users were able to receive before they postponed proper release, it is 100% clear. Also Amzer just updated their website yesterday with a ship date much farther than any other brand (perhaps they held off on purpose until they were able to stick to and perfect their original design).

Once again, all this information I listed was from heavy research and analyzation of the current status of all brands on these curved glass protectors. It is purely my educated speculation based on the information and details currently out there and of course can change at any time. I will keep checking for newer designs constantly but at this time we really don't know 100% if a fully clear curved glass protector will be possible without issues.

ghosting

I feel free. Still waiting your definition for ghosting. In your own words please. :)

I don't need videos, please tell whats ghosting. Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
"Ghosting" referring to the adhesive being visible as a translucent layer through the glass. See below video from Olixar for example:

[YOUTUBE]Bz3E344tCOw[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Cristianop:
Thanks for your research and info.

The protector in that video is pre production.

Those ghosting i might be blind cuz i cannot see them but i trust you that they are there.

Olixar will ship end June beginning of July. They will post high Def pix asap.

Why does amzer has such a late release. I Google a few weeks ago that protector in different British and American forums and people are anxiously waiting for it. On the other hand side reviews on amzer site don't look very good.

So who can we trust?

Anyhow know a good 9h protector for the BACK?

Is the black Glass on the LEAF product legit black or black sapphire like the phone?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] DroidBoss07:
If you view the video that was linked,around the 1:17 mark you'll see that the edges both top and bottom near the sensors and the space between home button and capacitive buttons shows areas where the adhesive is seen nearly seeping through the layer of glass leaving a visible smudge. It is purely aesthetics however it is noticeable and turns many people away which is why I imagine leaf is not developing the clear or matte ones yet because of this design flaw. To cover it up the coloured protectors started coming out. This is only my understanding I may be incorrect. Hope I helped.

Also interested in knowing the answer to this question, it was asked on their facebook page but it seems that they ignored that aspect of the question(it was a 2 part question) or it is 'legit' black. Until further comment I'd hold off and assume it's black.

Looks like metallic black to me just like the rest of them
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] shadowk91:
I bought this after open1your1eyes0 had reviewed his, and I was impressed by the look of it so I ordered one myself through the link on the front page. Since I bought the transparent version, I thought I'd share with you guys what the transparent version looked like applied.

I feel like I found the ONE!

The Screen Protector! The S6 Edge has finally found it's match.

This is the Transparent Glass from "iLINK TECH Co.,Ltd" (AliExpress)

Link to Product (Link is also on the front page with a stellar review (including great pictures) from open1your1eyes0)

The so called ghosting of the transparent protector is more of a glittery shine around the border of the screen itself. Personally I prefer this glittery shine than the white coloured glass, feels a little bit more natural to me compared to the thick white borders that come in the coloured which would easily reveal the fact that the phone has a screen protector on. Sensitivity is not affected by any means. This protector sits very snugly on the S6 Edge glass. As with any Screen Protector (Glass or otherwise) it does collect fingerprints but is easily rubbed away. The feel of the protector is nice and smooth, the clarity doesn't seem to be too affected (At particular angles there is slight rainbowing when letting another digital screen reflect onto the device). As from past experience this protector doesn't screw up the Proximity Sensor. The lip of the protector fits within the borders of the actual phone so it shouldn't affect compatibility with bumper cases (I have the Luphie with Rear White Glass bumper case).

I think I may have explained the 'Rainbowing' incorrectly here. There is absolutely no direct rainbowing when using the device itself, it is only when you let another digital screen reflect onto the screen that you see a little bit of rainbowing (at the time of writing this post I was tilting my device to let the screen/tv reflect onto the protector). So in all respects, there is no rainbowing problem actually.

All my images are posted here: http://imgur.com/a/jHXSf

Feel free to message me any questions about the protector.

I attached a few images:

Email from mobilefun. UK regarding olixar

Hi Cristiano,

Thanks for your message. We've been in touch with Olixar, who are producing the screen protector, and they have given the following information on the frosting/ghosting you refer to:

"A slight frosting effect is required to provide the strength needed to satisfy our quality control. This slight frosting effect around the edge of the device, but not in any way over the phone's screen, ensures the glue attaches firmly to your handset. For black phones, this frosting effect may be more apparent."

There will be 2 versions - the light one seen in the video for white and gold versions and a black one for the black S6 Edge. The black frosted version is due to arrive a few weeks after the first delivery. If you would like to amend your order to the black version, please contact our customer services team who will be happy to help: customer.services@mobilefun.co.uk

Hope that helps!

Kind regards,

Mobile Fun

Shipment took 3 business days with 3-7 days shipping option ($24.78). The Rainbow effect is only there as a reflection of another digital screen on the protector, It's not really a problem in the protector. The ghosting that is going around is the edges that are 'sparkly' this is most likely due to the adhesive they use to stick the glass to the phone. The 'ghosting' edges is definitely visible on darker colours like Black Green and would exactly like the protector that is applied here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz3E344tCOw [1:11 mark onwards]

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

I was simply providing a review with pictures of the Transparent version (different to the one open1your1eyes0 applied) especially since ghosting with this particular version has been a hot topic in the last few posts. I bought the product after open1your1eyes0 had provided his review about the black version of the product and loved it. Also, I wanted to confirm a few things open1your1eyes0 had said about the protector so that the xda public has a little more information to go on.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

The dots are coming from the glass protector. I imagine it's there to ensure touch sensitivity of the phone isn't affected. The dots are not really visible, especially when using the phone. They are not distracting at all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Cristianop:
So it doesn't matter which protector we buy some don't go through the edges and those who go through the edges have all frosting ghosting especially on darker colours right?

I was to go to buy that protector from ithink on aliexpress. But now I'm totally confused if i should or not. Had also one for the back from aliexpress but waiting for response if it goes also through the edge or just the flat part of the back

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] shadowk91:
I wouldn't buy the clear/transparent version of the protector for dark colours, I'd buy a coloured version like open1your1eyes0 did. I think he bought the black bordered version. Look at the first post to see the pictures of the dark coloured protector and look at how it looks applied on the black / blue s6 edge. You might want to contact the manufacturer from the same aliexpress link to see what other colours they have and then order the colour you want.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Cristianop:
Thanks for answer.

I might be blind but of course i saw the pictures of the black protector. But didn't see it in combination with with blue device....

I emailed ilink regarding colour options. I hope they have it in green but don't think that. And the black frosted on my green device I think that doesn't match.

Maybe the white one would be better but i don't wanna loose the green colour cuz it's gorgeous.

Anyone with a black S6E purchase a white, gold, or "clear" SP? I don't like the metallic flakes in the black SP at all so to me, this one isn't even an option. I'm not completely opposed to the idea of ordering a white or gold one but I'm not sure if the black of the phone would show through? I'm most interested in the somewhat transparent version but I've read not to get that with a dark colored phone.

Glass screen protector issues

.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

Only problem is that the glue is only on the colored edges, not the entire glass "that's how they avoid the bubbles from appearing on the screen." Bubbles will show on the colored edges but it's hidden....So, you have glass sitting atop glass but not adhered to it except the colored edges.... If you research these screen protectors, they are made in China and re-branded to sell in the USA and other countries....These screen protectors are glass. Hopefully, someone figures out how to get the entire glass to adhere without bubbles so you don't lose touch sensitivity...THIS IS THE BEST CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, 6/17/2015....funny that no one tells everyone this. I know because I bought the black one and it came with a scratch on the bottom of the protector.....so, I didn't send it back to China.....but touched the adhesive side and was shocked that the only part of the protector that has adhesive is the colored border........thus.....you will see that touch issues occur....mostly on the edges....but otherwise is ok....since I got a crap protector I did a hammer test and it is glass......
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Caliremus:
have you tried

hi, guys, it's a while i'm following this thread since i'm interested in buying this screen protector, i don't care about the ghost effect since i'd like to buy this screen protector in black, but what annoys me it's the less sensitive touch so i was wondering if you have tried to activate the "gloves" mode which makes the touch way more sensible.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] xifer:
Yes totally agree this is the only tempered glass in the market as of now. Whatever brand out there their source is the same, from China.

There are still room for improvement:

1. As mentioned the glass just sit on top, not adhering, sometimes rocking which reduce sensitivity over certain area(especially the sides) greatly. which in turn bad user experience

2. The coloured border. It's ugly. Period. Maybe the clear one is better.

Btw, i bought this from taobao.com(China's ebay), cost me RMB 168 (USD27)
