Chris bro

I got my amazingthing cracked, getting refund now :(

Friend is in USA, can I get anything from there? Please advise ASAP, he has to return soon, so I will have to order very fast
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Noirkw91:
U can buy all sorts of TGSP with fancy brands but ultimately they probably come from the same oem factory in China. I gave up and just went back to film. Just be extra careful
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] josbor11:
Got my amazing thing in the mail and installed it last night (arrived in fine condition). Went on very easily and I had it perfectly aligned with the phone and let it sit overnight. Woke up this morning and put my Ringke Air case on it (specifically bought this due to the recommendation of its compatibility) and the second I put the case on the protector lifted up all around the home button. Tried to reapply it but even if you get it back on which is pretty easy the case lifts it up the second you put it back on. Whoever said the Ringke Air works with AT is on crack. I suppose its back to the drawing board.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Tessaa:
AT is crap. Watch the video posted on page 189.

I had the same rainbow effect problem as that guy, despite some people on here claiming that the rainbow problem is totally non-existent.

Total disappointment and waste of money.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] aexp08:
I will mention that most of the time the rainbow effect is caused by moisture. The individual in the video used the wet wipe but not the dry. Its possible all the moisture did not dry when he applied the tgsp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] josbor11:
I used the wet and dry wipe and the microfiber cloth and I still had a rainbow like line down the middle of the screen but it was only noticeable when the screen was off and I was looking at it from a certain angle.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] MoshuXXL:
My AmazingThing just arrived. I've ordered it on June 18, it has been shiped on June 20. I didn't expect to receive it so soon as estimated delivery was July 12 - August 2. I'll be back with feedback after installation.

Later edit: No installation required because the AmazingThing is cracked out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
I guess we are back to square one. Roll on this one:

Did anyone bother with this one:

Chances are it won't be the magic bullet we are praying for.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Lol not on crack bro (wish I was sometime ;) ). I don't know what to say to be honest, I've no reason to lie. The Ringke Air case I have worked fine with the AT.

*SHRUGS*

It's definitely moisture. You can remove it by applying a small amount of pressure to both edges in the middle. The protector will ever so slightly lift in the middle section and the rainbow disappears. After a few times doing that and it naturally dissipating it disappeared, at least for me anyway.

Look guys, I recommended the AT as the best of the bunch and to me, in my experience with two of them that still remains the case. I've tried many generic ones and even Otterbox. I still maintain that the AT is the best of the bunch.

But I never stated it was perfect and as with all these glass protectors, it's hit and miss where cracking is concerned. Some seem to be more susceptible then others.

I also never said that it would be compatible with cases. I ran down a list of the cases I possess.

It's a similar theme with GPEL the other TGSP that people rate. You get the same experiences - mixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mrcricket23:
I had the rainbow effect when I first put it on it went away after few hours of use
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] MoshuXXL:
I'm starting to think that the AmazingThing sold on eBay it's some sort of replica. I was able to crush it in little pieces by squeezing it with one hand. It felt really fragile.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] josbor11:
Did the one you tried with the Ringke Air come from EBay or the AT official website? How on earth did you get it to fit? I actually used a little lens to zoom in on the phone so I could make sure I lined it all up perfectly and once I slipped my case over it the bottom just popped right up near the home button. Just to be clear, this is what I bought. Is this the same one you used? Also, do you happen to own and use a gear VR? If so how does the AT screen protector hold up going in and out of it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] toocool7610:
Is it normal practice on eBay for refund?

Seller asking me to okay the cancellation of order request before refund, saying that since its paypal transaction, refund will come automatically once cancelled, via PayPal

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Ok refund is done

Now what to get from USA? Friend is there I need immediate help to buy tgsp or something to protect screen
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
To be honest I do have my suspicions. The amount coming from the seller cracked and also without the installation box aid. My second came from him and the adhesive didn't seem as good if I'm totally honest.

Galaxy S7 Edge Case, Ringke [AIR] Weightless as Air, Extreme Lightweight Ultra-Thin Transparent Soft Flexible TPU Scratch Resistant Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 2016 - Crystal View https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B3JCJ6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_-I.ExbPAD7BT9

That one which I think is the same, yes mate. It fit fine. But the way you're talking suggests it was tight. My Ringke is quite loose and flexible.

I used the Gear VR a few times with the AT protector (direct from AT) first time around. I never tried it with the second AT from ebay. Each time though I took extreme care when pushing the clip down over concern for it cracking. I had tried the VR with a previous TGSP and it was unusable as the dot matrix effect could be seen through the lenses. The AT didn't seem to suffer the same, vision was fine.

Don't get me wrong though, I haven't used the Gear VR for more then short stints a handful of times since I got it. I find it more gimmicky, mobile VR but a good introduction to what VR is. Looking forward to picking up the PS4 VR.

From USA I would go with GPEL if it's a TGSP you want. But just bear in mind that's had its fair share of positive and negative reviews also.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] josbor11:
Thanks for the info. The EBay seller actually offered to send a replacement AT when I contacted him which was very generous. He told me to just scrap the one I have if it's unusable. I'm gonna order the Ringke Slim in the meantime and hope that second times the charm and it works with the replacement he's sending. It has those grooves in the corner and doesn't seem to wrap around the front as much as other cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
If I remember correctly https://www.intelliarmor.com/ are coming out with a TGSP for the S7 Edge. May as well go around the houses I guess :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] radtech777:
My AT comes tomorrow. I was a lot more excited by the idea until I read the last few pages lol. This is my first eBay purchase for something that could be potentially be damaged out of the box. Has anyone had luck getting refunds?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
I was refunded. Mine came cracked. He/she wanted me to ship it back, but asked or told him if he could just refund me, and he/she did.

VZ S7 EDGE ONYX
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] rocky7st:
I got lucky with no crack via delivery from AT.

So far I've noticed quite a bit of glare and the left edge letters on my keyboard are slightly less responsive.

Outside of that it is definitely clear, keys responsive and no clicking sound like the cheap ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sinichi21:
The rainbow effect comes and go like everyobe say it just moisture inside the screen, and about the ringke air I have same problem it is lifting up the upper right spot, in my opinion I have tried all ringke protector and always end up returning them the protector it self is not perfect I have one end slightly higher than the other end thats why my AT is lifting up. Purchase a spigen thin fit and you will see the difference in fitness. Not that I have anything on ringke I just don't have a luck on there protector. And also the major complain for me is the dust are getting piled up on the corners of the adhesive since the adhesive does not stick all the way on the end of the screen dust get in and ends up sticking on the corners. Other than that the AT is great for me no sensitivity issue for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Natjosh:
I think the best solution is to just get a good case that will protect the screen from flat surfaces, get a film protector to stop minor scratches and to just be careful when using your phone! All these tempered glass solutions seem to have problems which is a bummer so why waste so much money on them? The original screen is quite strong just not when dropped on concrete :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Sonin66:
The screen will get light scratches without a protector on. Never dropped my first edge and got light scratches from just going in and out of my pocket.

Rocky7

My AT was like that but when I took my commuter case off and tested, everything worked perfect. I have since put it back onext after reassuring it isn't pushing up the protector and they left side sensitivity was gone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hovanhuang:
Guys, it's definitely not moisture. It's call the Newton ring. Basically it's a physical phenomenon of light interference. This happens when there's a gap between two layers of reflective materials. I dealt with this 2 years ago when using the g2.

Because there is no adhesive between the screen and the glass in the middle and there's the gap. Newton ring only exist in some certain range of gap sizes, say from 100um to 500um (wiki it if want to figure it out). Because of the temper glass is some thin and the supplier can't really control the flatness in a tolerance of 100um, that's why some people are getting it and some people don't (the one don't have a lucky flatter screen than other).

I have tried fix this before :

After knowing the theory behind, the fix is to increase the gap to over the Newton ring range. I tried using the hair dryer to heat up the middle where the ring is, and bowl it back and forth and cool it down. As I said, I tried this on the glass of my g2 couples years ago and the glass of g2 is way thicker than the AT.

So, just use the films guys. As a manufacturing engineer, I can guarantee you that nobody can make a perfect curve glass protector within our acceptable price range.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
Would someone kindly recommend a few different film protectors please ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] toocool7610:
Not getting TGSP , getting best skins ever, I should select, glossy case fit and glossy options......... Right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] nic85:
with the glass screen protector the screen is less sensible, specially on the edge.. I need to press quite hard there. I think I'm going to remove it

So I emailed Qdos yesterday with regards to their OpiGuard Glass Curve shown here:

https://www.qdossound.com/screen-protection/optiguard-glass-clear-for-samsung-s7-edge?id=971

This is their response:

Hi,

Thank you for getting in contact!

Our glass is manufactured in China and is made from the highest quality Japanese Asahi tempered glass. We temper our glass for the optimum 4 hours, meaning it has a 9h hardness rating, offering total scratch and impact resistance. We only use glue around the edges of our OptiGuard Glass Curve for the Samsung S7 edge. This is to achieve perfect image clarity and touch sensitivity.

We ship our products from our UK offices. We do have a flexible screen protector available called OptiGuard Force Protect for the Samsung S7 edge which is available here:

https://www.qdossound.com/screen-protection/optiguard-force-protect-for-samsung-s7-edge?id=966

This screen protector however isn’t made of film, but super-strong TPU for better protection!

Please let me know if you have any further questions, we’re happy to help!

Many Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] toocool7610:
Guys anything else I can get from USA for my s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Yeah don't get the matte version it's horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] toocool7610:
Anything else please suggest from Amazon. Com apart from this :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] redeus:
I don't have any hope that we can get a great curved glass protector that is compatible with cases. I just don't think it's possible with the design of the S7 Edge. I think we can get a great curved protector if someone bothers to make it but it won't last with a case. So either use a case or a screen protector, not both. Even the film ones start peeling off once you put the phone into a case. I'm just going with a minimalist case and no screen protection. Don't see the point in having a bulky case which just hides the phones appearance. If you're careful the phone screen should remain scratch/crack free. Mine's been fine since I got it in March and I've been only using the Spigen thin fit case with no screen protector. Hopefully it'll stay that way!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Bexorcist:
So, I finally received my AmazingThing Curved TGSP today and put it on about 2 hours ago. I had lots of sensitivity issues with my former cheaper protector but these seem to have vanished, which is a very good sign. Only thing I noticed was the same clicky sound I got with the other one (the protector not entirely sticking to the adhesive?). Is this temporary and should I give it a few days or should I try to apply my spare one. I ordered 2 at once just be sure I didn't **** up.

Thx in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] j76ms:
I just installed mine last night and have the same issue with clicking in the lower right area. Everything else about it feels and looks good. I did heat the screen up with a hair dryer to see if the clicking would stop but that did not help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fidorulz:
Well the curse of the screen protectors continues.

Got my V2 GPEL today and as you can see from the pics its cracked.

And this is my free replacement for buying V1 of their protector

I dont know if I should ask for a refund and get the amazingthing at this point

I have to say it looks much clearer vs V1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Sonin66:
If it's clicking yes it didn't adhere properly, maybe you didn't clean it well or touched the screen trying to align. Try your second protector and wash it especially the edge and don't touch the phone to make sure your not introducing oil back on the screen. Use drying cloth and blow the debris off. If that doesn't work ask for a refund as it might be the actual glass on your phone. Also do this in your bathroom after a shower. Don't open the door, make it a sauna!

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Getting another replacement is your choice and so is getting the amazingthing. If it's not properly packed, the glass will shatter again! You could try out gpel again and see how it goes or get AT. I have AT and love it, works with my otterbox commuter case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fidorulz:
Using Unicorn Beetle Pro from slipcase and its great for screen protectors as the front part holds them down on all sides
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jdogg4000:
Thanks I ordered the force protect one going to give it a shot. Has anyone every tried TPU gel screen protectors?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Don't be lured in by TPU gel. It's the exact same stuff the Zagg and other wet apply protectors tend to be made from.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
Have people now decided not to order the AmazingThing, either from eBay or direct ?

Ok i am done with tgsp

I am getting best skins ever, but I need spigen case with that too, can you guys please tell me if all kinds of spigen cases are compatible with best skins ever? If not what are those which are compatible

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Johnny Cage:
Guess no one checked my thorough Best Skins Ever thoughts and experience i posted a couple days ago.... Oh well! Sticking with mines even though the AmazingThing is suppose to arrive any day now. Will keep that for a later date. Very happy with my BSE and case combo for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Currently have the matte BSE case friendly which I will be removing because it has a weird shimmery effect. The gloss is the one to go for, I've had that one before and it was fantastic. I'll test the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Spigen Slim Armor for you in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sinichi21:
In their website they have an option for case friendly protector if you bought that it will fit all spigen cases I personally tried them. Now if you opt for a fullbody protection the spigen logo on the back of the case will mark the back protector and sometimes it stretch the back protector like mine it does not heal at it remain there until now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Johnny Cage:
To Recap a bit...... Best Skins Ever Case Friendly worked with SPIGEN NEO HYBRID CRYSTAL so i believe it would work with the regular Neo Hybrid. You just have to be really careful when putting the case on and make sure the corners of the case don't push up against the screen protector. The Caseology Envoy also worked with this case... but that case doesn't have too much protection around the screen so it works with many screen protectors. SPIGEN Tough Armor did not work with it. The full coverage BSE did not work with SPIGEN NEO HYBRID CRYSTAL nor the SPIGEN TOUGH ARMOR.... it did work with the Caseology Envoy and the Vrs Design Triple Mixx.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

Also..... I tried the Best Skins Ever Full body protection on the back glass of the phone as well. If you are planning to use a case with that installed as i did.... expect it to start creasing and lifting a bit after a couple days of usage. It seems as though the cases push into it and cause it to wrinkle or crease and lift a bit in the middle around the edges. Surprisingly the edges never lifted. I kept the camera lens protector and took off the back glass protector. I recommend the glossy versions over the matte. Just my opinion based on my experience! HOPE THIS INFO HELPS SOMEONE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Tried both Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. Both work fine with the BSE case friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Bexorcist:
Chris, which ones are you using now?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] n-j-f:
I'm still using my GPEL v1. Really quite happy with it. No speckles and no lifting or crackling. The only thing I don't like is how oleophile (if there is such a word) it is. I have to keep wiping the screen all the time. I have the GPEL v2 waiting for me when I get back home (I'm in the UK until tomorrow) and the Amazing Thing on the way. Annoyingly, according to USPS, it passed through New York on 27 June and there was no new tracking until Miami on 6 July. I guess it went by bicycle. Like others I was quite excited about the AT until the last few pages. I'm beginning to think I may leave my GPEL v1 on until something happens to force me to put on a new one. This may be one of those times when I have to follow the 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' maxim.

I bought the Spigen Thin in the UK and it fits perfectly with the GPEL v1. I tried the Ringke Slim but, although it also fitted well, I thought it looked and felt cheap and looked like it would scratch easily.

GPEL have also sent me their koskin case as a replacement for the glass one they were going to produce but I won't be able to check it until I get back. They've told me it is definitely compatible with their screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Bexorcist:
Too bad they are very hard to get here in Europe! :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Xophile:
Hi everyone! Sitting here waiting for my AT to arrive. Currently have the Spigen Ultra Thin case on my phone.

Should I apply the AT with or without the case attached. I'm thinking maybe I'll lift the AT up if I apply the case afterwards?

Many thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] neezy13:
I briefly toyed with the idea of putting my AT on with my case, but I found that I could not align it properly and properly push down the edges. I have a Cover-Ups explorer case which is minimal protection and fits with GPEL v1 and AT. After I installed it without the case, I put the case back on and it has worked fine.

However, I just ordered a BSE glossy case friendly skin because the build up of lint and dust in the adhesive at the top of my AT around the speaker cutout is really bothering me. Its probably just my OCD about it, but its all I notice when I go to use my phone. I figured I would go ahead and order the BSE and have it on hand for when I inevitably decide to pull it off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Johnny Cage:
Same thing i'm doing. I had the case friendly BSE applied but messed it up a bit trying all the cases on it.... and i also didn't apply it properly from the get go. I have the BSE full screen protector applied right now and using it with the vrs triple mixx, and i'm really happy with it. My excitement for the AmazingThing died off now, so when it arrives i plan on putting it up for later. I will put it on when my BSE messes up for whatever reason. I also purchased a next set of BSE protectors (Glossy case friendly, Glossy Full screen, and full coverage for the back glass and sides) just in case that AT fails. I will be done with experimenting with protectors after this. If the AT fails whenever it is that i put it on, i have my tried and tested BSE protectors that i will put on and i know i will be satisfied with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
I change my cases loads. Got several Spigen, a Ringke and two Samsung cases.

Hence why I gave up on TGSP and currently have the matte BSE CASE friendly version which I'll take off at some point probably for the BSE case friendly glossy version which I've tried and tested before.

Should have just done myself a favour and stopped on the BSE case friendly glossy!

Still overall found the AT to be decent enough though. Still the best TGSP I'd tried at any rate. And if I was happy with just using one case I'd have kept it along with a compatible case. But I change my mind like my underwear lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Bexorcist:
Mmm, you were actually the reason I bough the AT so I hope I won't be dissapointed. It's a long way from Hong Kong to Belgium! :D

So, what exactly is this BSE-thing? It's full plastic protection at a decent price? And what's the difference between case friendly & undriendly? I'm always using a flip-cover for optimal screen protection (LED-cover in this case) so I don't have the TGSP-issues many of you have.
