I have since received a refund from the company. Responses to emails were always timely, even if the answers were not to my agreement, but once I opened a Paypal claim, they asked me to destroy the guard and provide pictures, and refunded my payment. It seems to be the consensus that this guard diminishes touch sensitivity quite a bit, and obviously it isn't compatible with most cases, and of course YMMV, but I'm not angry at the company for this, just disappointed how they handled my return request. Especially the shipping charge. "Over" 24.99 ships free, but not 24.99 exactly... One of my biggest pet peeves is paying twice for shipping when I have to return an item for any reason.

I did notice the dot matrix effect when the guard was attached, but I never got to find out if it would become a problem since it only stayed attached to my screen about 16 hours with almost no use, since I put it on just before going to bed at night.

I checked out the website for the Leaf guard, and the FAQ section is nearly a carbon copy of the Coralguard's FAQ section. Either these two companies are selling the same mass produced product under their own company names, they are the same company, or they both employ the same web designer.

I also notice that the Amazon page linked for the icroo says it's unavailable, with no return to available date.

Finally received this in the mail today. Here are the pics - http://imgur.com/a/bXxJv

Pros:

- Edge to edge coverage, no "halo" effect

- Good touch sensitivity, no problems swiping notifications or typing on keyboard

Cons:

- Slight dot matrix visible at certain angles

- Transparent center section seems to float over the screen which affects clarity (i.e. only the edges have adhesive?)

- Questionable adhesion: makes a sticky tapping/clicking sound when pressing back/window capacitive keys

- Update 4/7/2016: After 2 days, the protector has lost adhesion and the entire thing fell off

Overall this protector is not perfect but it does the job. If the protector could be revised with fully transparent borders (not solid color), better/full adhesion on the screen surface, and no dot matrix, I think it could be a winner. Until then I would only recommend this if you absolutely must have a tempered glass protector and don't want to wait for something better to come out. I do not recommend this product at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] PseudoChris:
Just wanted to chime in. Recently purchased a CoralGuard Glass Pro Plus kit for my S7. It went on easily, but the adhesion is terrible. I had a hell of a time getting the glass to stop making loud tacky sounds when pressed in certain areas. And when I try to put any screen protector on (even my softer ballistic case that goes OVER the glass) I still end up getting at least one part of the screen that loses sensitivity and gains a clicking sound when pressed (from separation).

If you're still unclear about the quality of the adhesion, let me put it this way. After letting the protector sit on my phone (and after some heavy pressing to set it) I can still move the protector around on the screen without a moderate amount of pressure on the edges of the phone.

It doesn't sound like this one was a lemon, since others are reporting similar issues with the coral guard glass. None of the youtube "reviews" for this case address these issues (nor do they check for them). Hopefully the OP can update the post to reflect the issues with this case before there are too many people dropping $30 on a protector with poor adhesion.

And as a side note, they removed their phone contact from their website. Not sure what to make of that, but it could be that too many people were calling about issues with the coral glass, so they deferred all inquiries to e-mail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] roosnuts:
Besides the Coral Guard issues, the bigger challenge is finding a full glass that actually fits and works well. I hate to think that a flimsy screen is the only option, but I fear that the other glass options (besides Cora) will have similar issues. I'm actually thinking of getting the new HTC when it comes out instead. The slight screen curve of this S7 is an awful feature as it turns out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Psychlone:
I jumped on the JETech since Coral is backordered for 3 weeks. It was $16.99 via Amazon and was here the next day (I live less than 200 miles from JETech)

Easy install

Only adheres to the edges (especially the top and the bottom but there is a very thin line of adhesive on the sides as well) - nothing under the glass to adhere to the phone glass itself.

Visible dot matrix across the screen protector, but not a deal breaker for me.

Slight rainbow in certain parts under the glass that moves around when touched, again not a deal breaker for me.

...and for the 2 minutes I actually got to play with the phone, it worked fine - no lag or touch insensitivity. Then I tried to put on my UAG case (that's supposedly ok on Coral screen protectors that are identical to this) - and SNAP. It didn't take much at all to break it on both sides.

So I can't suggest this screen protector if you're using a case like the UAG. I'm always VERY careful with this kind of thing (it's actually my job) and just thinking that because Coral says theirs is ok with a UAG case doesn't mean this is the same. I'm actually highly suspect of the Coral fitment in a UAG case as well seeing how this one snapped right at the pressure-points when the phone slid into the case.

First pic shows the total damage (this is the back-side of the screen protector - you can kind of see the adhesive on the edges)

Second pic shows the beginning snap-point right at the power button on the UAG case (without the phone) -this was taken to illustrate how wide the screen protector is as compared to the UAG case

Third pic shows the other snap-point right at the volume buttons. Because the UAG case is hardened plastic in these spots, this is the critical place where most ANY full-screen protector is going to break.

Fourth pic just proves what screen protector we're talking about...

(i cpoied this from the other theme, don't know why there are 2 themes for the same thing but ok... Maybe mods should merge them - just a tought)

Hi guys!

My FLIPACASE® tempered glass finnaly arrived, so i'll write a few words...

First of all, the fit is perfect, so are the cut-outs, but the Samsung logo cutout is missing... The instalation is farely easy, as much as it can be - you just need to clean the screen thoroughly and have a steady hand... There are no big touch issues, besides a miss here and there. The glass isa bit thicker than i expected it to be, so my home-button is a bit below than the screen now. Not a problem at all for me - it is actually easier to place ur finger at the right spot now... There is a barely visible dot pattern, but no halo effect of any kind. Oleophobic coating is not so good, fingerprints will be a problem - especially if you have sweaty hands. The adhesive seems to be applied on the whole surfce of the glass. Only thing that is bothering me a bit is the transparency... I should clarify, the glass has a slight white-grayish tint so the black color on the screen now doesn't look so "amoled black" anymore... It's more of a LCD IPS black if you know what i mean. Aside from that, color reproduction is unchanged. I guess that "tint" is a byproduct of the adhesive, but i'm not sure... Here are some images of the pacage and the glass itself, the phone is in Nillkin TPU case btw (shot with Lumia 1520 - srry for the blurred images):
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Sir_Eagle:
I believe that's the one I have on now. It doesn't adhere to the curved edges. It does cover the full screen area though, touch sensitivity is fine, and works with TPU cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] evilution:
Just bought this one from AliExpress. $3.99 + Free shipping.

http://goo.gl/6fdRBD

Cheap enough to try. Will report when I receive it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Cancer78:
I too have taken a couple of aliexpress just to try it , since even spending 40 Euro ( for Coral ) there are problems . I will tell you when they arrive.

Alpha Glass Screen Protector

Another screen protector out there that glass material. Based on the youtube video (search Otterbox Alpha Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S7 youtube) it doesn't have halo effect. Any one have review for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] krispy1:
Has anyone tried these? http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Spi...72&sr=8-4&keywords=s7+screen+protector+spigen

If so any good?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] speedme:
I've bought one from AliExpress too, over 1 week ago.

So I think it will arrive soon.

Not sure if it's from the same reseller, but it's most probably the same screen protector (as they are all the same, the price is only different).

Will let everyone know how it turns out to be
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] butthurtlocker:
Hey fellas, ive ordered 4 different tempered glass protectors, 2 from Ali and 2 from eBay. All are between 2-12 bucks Canadian. I will test each one till I stop on the one that produces zero halo effect and covers end to end (if that happens :p) and will then link you guys to it. Should get them this week sometime
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] gnader:
fyi: Coral's offering shows rainbow and dot-matix. it will also crack at the edge/corner very soon after adding a "compatible" case. I got mine today... after cracking i've taken it off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Cancer78:
It looks really good. From the video you don't see halo effect and covers the entire screen.

Too bad there are no reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] roosnuts:
Yes, the Spigen crystal film is a great temporary solution. Given that I tried Coral Guard, fail, and I fear that the other solutions will be similar, I wanted a band aid. Spigen is just that. It's sort of like a semi-hard plastic film. It's very clear, touch is seemingly perfect. But... it does scratch easily and the feel is slightly sticky. Overall, it's 10x better experience than using Coral Guard. And at only $4.50 per protector, it's cheap enough. I'm hoping the Zaag will do it right when released.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] gnader:
+1 for Spigen curved crystal from Amazon. Was totally dissatisfied with all the 2.5d glass screen protectors I tried. While this isn't 100% coverage it offers protection from the scratches that were starting to develop from being in my back pocket (never carried with anything else. Lint/pocket debris will scratch an unprotected s7 screen).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Sir_Eagle:
Spigen Curved Crystal HDis the best so far. It is a film and not glass. But it covers the full screen area just not the full front of the phone. The corners, above the top sensors, and below the home button are uncovered. It does adhere to the curved edge nicely and works with my Tech 21 case fine. Glad you get two, as I did get a few fine scratches on it when putting it on (my stupidity).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] thunderwagn:
I ordered the Coral for my daughters phone several days before all the complaints started rolling in. Needless to say, I was pretty skeptical installing it and just told my daughter to give it a whirl and if she didn't like it, we'd send it back. Well, it's been a little over a week now and she's been very happy with it so far. She has an Obliq case and does say swiping down for settings and notifications is a little less responsive, but overall she is pleased, given the 3 protectors she used prior.

My daughter is 18 and more concerned with snapchat, facebook, facetime or whatever it is 18 yr olds use their phones for these days lol, than dot matrix appearance or rainbow.

I would also like to add, that I do think it's shady practice for vendors to post shady/fake reviews here on XDA. Been a real decline on XDA the last couple of years and this is clearly against the TOS. Had I seen this post

prior, I wouldn't have ordered as I find it incredibly dishonest.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] red12355:
Lol he edited the post where he says hes behind leafseries. Good thing I have a screenshot and his post has already been archived by the wayback machine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] queenkong:
I bought the Coral screen protector 2 weeks ago. I must say I was very disappointed in it. It doesn't stick well, doesn't feels like glass, and oil stains very easily as compared to my previous OEM simple tempered glass protector which was way cheaper except that it does not cover the whole screen.

So, touch sensitivity dropped significantly but I adapt to it, thinking protection is priority and I do not live in the United States so replacement or return will not be cost worthy. The final draw comes when rain water seeps in during rain. I had to take it out to clear the water and it can never stick on back properly again.

I have written in to see what their customer support will advice considering mine is an international order. If their customer service is bad, Coralguard is one company I will stay away from now onwards. Will update again when they get back to me. I do not think it will be soon.

[MENTION=3313404]open1your1eyes0[/MENTION], this works fine for me. Tight tolerances, perfectly aligned full coverage with a 0.5-1mm at the very edges for the case:

Amazon: Galaxy S7 Screen Protector [Full Coverage],Yootech [3-Pack] [Anti-Bubble] [HD Ultra Clear Film] Edge to Edge Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S7,Lifetime Warranty

I installed it with the regular dry technique (clear surface with masking tape to lift dust, then use masking tape to create two hinges for alignment). No bubbles, no lint, no lifted edges. It's hard to beat $7.95 for 3 pack.

Cheap screen protectors

The one in the picture is what you get when buying too cheap. I should have asked, but it said "Made for Galaxy S7" so I went for it. Typical me to get a 550 £ phone and buy 1 £ screen protectors in the belief it is what I need. Now I have experimented a bit and ordered 7 Edge screen protectors and let's see what they can do.... Some say it is not at all necessary to GET screen protectors or covers to protect the phone due to the Gorilla 4 glass. I say better wear suspenders AND a belt ;=)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] cowplod:
I got a Savfy full screen glass protector and it was absolute poop. It didn't fit properly with the buttons perfectly lined up, and the sensitivity of the screen was down so much that I took it off after two days because I could hardly type or pull the notification bar down. There are better things to spend £11.99 on.

While Coral is "confirmed", it has been back ordered for a month

And I fear that this has been because of defect/request for refunds. I've sent them 2 emails. They replied to the first one 3 weeks ago saying that they are back ordered. Than one week ago, I asked again + asked approximately when they would be in a position to fulfill the demand and they never replied.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] jbis:
I'd stay away from Coral. I sent mine back at his request (after opening Paypal case for lack of response) and he received it on the 11th and has since stopped responding to the Paypal case. Now I have to escalate and hope Paypal does the right thing.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] OMK1210:
Coral

So I got my Coralguard protector a couple of days ago, and was anxious to try it on, since it has gotten less than stellar reviews on this site. After applying it to the phone and using it for a while I am happy to say that I have no problems using this until a better alternative comes along.

I would rate it 7/10 as long as you follow the instructions when putting it on. As soon as I put it on I had the touch sensitivity problem that has been reported by many users, but after leaving it under a heavy book over night (as Coral states you should), the problem is as good as gone. There is a slight problem in the upper edge of the screen, and in the corners, but you just have to press a tiny bit harder and it's fine. Honestly, I have no problem using it. The dot matrix is only visible in bright light at an angle, so it does not bother me.

The one thing that does bother me a bit is that they have only tiny holes in the "paint" where the sensors and led is, so the automatic light can use some time to adjust. I would leave a bigger area without "paint" around the sensors, so the light can shine through it more easily. I don't use a case, so I can't comment on that.

+ Good fit

+ Easy install

+ Good clarity

+ Barely any lip to feel around the edges

+ Little to no dot matrix

- Very slight decrease in touch sensitivity in corners

- Should have bigger cutouts for the light sensor

As long as you leave something heavy on this over night, I think it's a good protector to use until someone comes up with a fully adhered glass without the painted edges.

UPDATE: There is no way this is 9H.. One fall to the floor and the whole thing cracked, rendering it useless. Also, it's terrible for fingerprints. Still a decent protector, but not really worth the steep price ($30) since it couldn't even handle one small drop.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xmeatizmurderx:
This is off of their website so I doubt it covers edge to edge, looks like they make a specialty one that does but like other ones of this nature it won't actually adhere to the scree, I've always had dust problems with protectors like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Kherani:
Looking at the reviews for the Otterbox, it seems to be junk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] gleggie:
Does it work with a case? Also how is touch sensitivity? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Yes, it works with all cases I've tried. Cruzerlite, Diztronic, Spigen, VRS Design & touch sensitivity is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] mr.hypno:
It is not, it doesn't even cover the entire screen, and has a halo effect. It only covers the direct center of the phone, and makes the center button hard to use. Total junk, don't waste your money.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] bliu:
Is the dot-matrix as bad as the pictures make it look?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Bengaz:
Hope not, I've just bought one from Amazon UK :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Yes, if you're looking at it sideways with the correct lighting; straight on with normal usage it's hardly noticeable

If you're always using your device at weird angles, then I wouldn't recommend this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] dv8ed:
Is the glass 2.5D or 3D curved also screen area is it adhesive?

Same seller has 3D curved one for a higher price. Did you order direct from that link or seller sent you a replacement?

Here's the higher priced one. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D1RVF70/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] lost_:
If it's dot matrix, then only the top and bottom have adhesive and the display area is NOT adhered to the screen. The dots are there to transfer your touches.

After following the link to the twitter page I saw they, tech matte, rereleased the screen protector and added the same link you did to their updated screen protector.

Hi,

Can someone please tell me which protector works?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Christian99:
In Canada we have the exynos

This was just to answer a question asked earlier. Less heat problems apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] queenkong:
So they replied to my refund request promptly in less than 48 hours. But guess what? They just disappeared and stopped replying despite my checking with them on my refund status, after I spent more to mail it back to them. Please spread the words around. to stay away from Coralguard!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] ducky69247:
Well I suppose I'll try it with Incipio DualPro case then. I was hoping this thread wasn't dead. Thr price isn't bad, although shipping is nearly as much as the price, which always irritates me no matter the price. But less than the Coralguard is good (That was a really high for a piece of glass anyway)

My screen is already pretty scratched up from POCKET LINT (Yes, Gorilla Glass 4 is apparently not strong enough to protect against pocket lint), which was the reason I had such high hopes for the Coral, so I'd like to mitigate any further damage, if possible.

Edit: Reading more of the reviews, I'm worried about it migrating with thumb pressure. I'd rather just continue to wait for a better protector rather than hassle with this maybe or maybe not adhering properly and moving around, and some of the other complaints made in the reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] bonneycc:
Same here. I returned mine, unused and it's been a month and no refund. I know it was delivered because of the tracking information. I send emails and there is no answer. Stay away.

so there is no "good" Tempered Glass available for this phone yet ? Not even from Samsung ??

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Bengaz:
I bought a curved plastic one from a market seller for £10. Obviously thought is was going to be crap. It's not, it's brilliant! As good as glass. You really can't tell it's plastic. My spigen case fits over the edge to edge covero so there's no chance of this lifting. I now have a perfect setup after spending over £100. Clear spigen case is brilliant too and under £10.

I bought this one after 5-6 tries with tempered glass. This was awesome! Edge to edge, clear and fits perfectly. The feeling isn't plastic in any way. You don't even see it on. Came with a back protector to.

Can highly recommend this if you are tired of bad tempered glass

It seems like someone may have received the Zagg one in the other Tempered Glass thread on here. Unfortunately, it seems like it only has adhesive on the top/bottom/sides and has a dot matrix effect.
