I am using a bodyguardz film and it is awesome and 6 months running no problems. On the other hand my wifes bodyguardz peeled off due to the oils from the make up and her skin constantly running the edges of her phone. That being said i did what a another poster suggested a couple posts back. I used a cheap pet film protector coupled with a tpu plastic protector on top of the pet and it is been brilliant. Feels like glass and sticks full coverage with no edge lifting. The only thing i recommend is getting a good tpu full coverage protector that has good clarity. Mine is not as clear as my bodyguardz witch is almost identical to having no screen protector. All film protectors have a bit of tacky feeling but having tried more then half a dozen i would say bodyguardz on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is the most tacky and 10 is the worst bodyguardz film is 8. It is not edge to edge so don't get it for doing what i suggested above instead get a full edge to edge unless you need extreme case friendly.

Hi, how's it doing after 20 days? I just bought one and am waiting for it to be delivered tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] optimummind:
Still perfect. It's been my favorite TGSP so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] whosaysjohn:
Thanks, used these to apply just now and try testing the screen... So far so good...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Ricardo Cheing:
I don't understand why would you apply a screen protector to a beautiful Gorilla Glass 4 screen that our phones already have? I would imagine that the screen protector itself reduces display quality, luminosity, increases glare, introduces possibility of dust under the screen, probably reduces screen sensitivity, etc... Why do that, I don't get it? Why not just get a good Otterbox case like the Commuter or Symmetry? My phone has already fell a few times while in the case from a height of about 3-5 feet and each time the screen comes out intact without a single scratch on it. Your screen will crack regardless of whether you put on a screen protector or not when a fall will eventually crack it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jdogg4000:
You would be surprised with gorilla glass 4 just put your phone in a pocket with sand in it and you'll get scratches. After long term like a year you will start to notice many scratches even with gorilla glass 4. That being said i don't drop my phone but my wife does and everytime her screen protector cracked taking the impact but her normal screen was intact. It's all personal preference and each use is different but for my wife she will always have a screen protector. For me i could do fine without one but still i can guarantee i will have hairline scratches within a year which to me is worse looking then screen protectors. I am contemplating using a thin layer of nano liquid shield once a year. Has anyone used it before?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Philip:
Unfortunately my experience with the Klearlook hasn't been quite so positive.

Installing the protector was fairly straightforward (although getting the symbols for the soft keys to exactly align was something of a challenge), but since installing it I have a few "cold spots" - mostly near the top and bottom of the screen. What I mean by "cold spots" are areas which require a much harder tap to register - I sometimes have to press 2 or 3 times before the tap is registered.

The protector has been on for about 48 hours now, so it should have fully stuck/settled.

These "cold spots" may be sufficient to make me remove it (although it's fine in every other way), but I'll give it another few days before deciding.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
I learnt the hard way, luckily had insurance. But I think you're wrong, a protector has a chance of taking the impact instead of the screen. And if you can find a good one it can feel almost as good as the glass underneath.

These things just seem to be hit and miss. One person's experience is different to another's. There may be some weight in the argument someone put forward earlier in the thread that each and every curved screen is ever so slightly different and that's why it's hard too find a universal TGSP that everyone is happy with.

I'm still rocking the Klearlook and it's as good as the day I put it on. Hand on heart, first protector I’ve had that hasn't impacted on sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] paketek:
so im using this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/spigen-s...curved-crystal-hd-screen-protector-p58704.htm.

It's cool But it's out of plastic so scrolling in not so smooth als on glass. So i wonder anyone have glass protector not plastic that don't pull off on edges ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ryant35:
I just got the Klearlook screen protector mentioned a couple of pages ago. I put it on last night. This morning I noticed there was some space between the glass and the screen and some of my touches didn't register especially while typing. I put my Spigen Neo Hybrid case back on it it pushed the screen protector off right away.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] M@rs:
That's why there is a case friendly version i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
I've only tried the case friendly version and I'm still 100% happy with it. Not sure why others are having problems but as mentioned previously experience with S7E TGSP seems to be erratic.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] EternalSeekerX:
So its been a week with the alpha glass. So far the screen hasn't peeled off. The issue is dust. The person installing it messed up with a dust spec. As the day goes by even with wiping, dust will accumulate under. Otherwise its an okay protector. Now im afraid of dust scratches if I leave it there and I'm afraid to take if off since it might not stick. The adhesive is only on the top and bottom.

Edit: I am seriously considering maybe paying for the GPEL one, does anyone have any dust issues with that one? What chris said seems to be true, the fit of the tgsp is really a product to product basis. Like how my Alpha glass adheres fine and has no issues with visability an has dust issues, while other customeres complained about it falling off or cracking etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ryant35:
Even before putting the case on I had to tap 2 or 3 times in some places on my keyboard. I was ready to take it off before putting my case back on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Hawkhell:
Is the sensitivity issue the fault of the product or the device? Because older devices had the option to increase sensitivity which helped with glass protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] TurboTronix:
So whats the best screen protector that will go well with a case like Spigen Ultra Hybrid Galaxy S7 Edge Case (link)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mink4694:
I've been using galaxy s7 edge screen protector from iloome for a while and it is great! It fits my phone great beacuse it is 3D. Try out the website

with $5 dollar of coupon code 3DMAXDEALS
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ImYoungxD:
I've been using non-curve tempered glass and it's much better than those curved ones.

I have no problems after using it for 3 weeks.

It looks weird but it protects the flat screen from scratches.

No scratches on the edges and case friendly.

You can get it on eBay for $2 to test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Hani88:
Yeah and it will get some dirt on the edges

Which model are you using ? Mine is Galaxy A5
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fidorulz:
So my GPEL V2 finally gave out after I dropped my phone

Needed a fast replacement and got one of these

https://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Coverage-Nextec®-Corning®-Tempered/dp/B01M1GXJ57

I must say for the price they are as good if not better vs the GPEL. No touch issues, no rainbow issues and glue is fine as well

Please not im using a supcase unicorn case with it so it helps keep it in place as well

And its not a fluke either. Orders 3 more for other people and installed it for them and still all where as good
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sillymeboy:
Great fit. However, screen sensitivity is reduced. I ended up returning
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] caseyatbt:
After trying to determine a general consensus reading through this thread it really seems like a lot of hit or miss. Can anyone using a UAG case tell me what they have settled on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] BigDoun2011:
Does anyone can recommend a tempered glass which I can buy in Germany?! Or at least which can be shipped to Germany?

You guys posting tempered screens I can't buy here in Germany :(

Nice one! Thanks for sharing

Because I am using Galaxy A5 protector
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Philip:
I'm afraid that my (case friendly) Klearlook was taken off the phone tonight and is on its way back to Amazon for a refund. There were too many unresponsive spots and it made using the phone frustrating. I even tried using a set of soft clamps (they were sold as plastic clothes pegs) overnight to ensure that the glue was properly stuck down all around. Obviously the manufacturing tolerances in the phone and/or the protector didn't work for me as well as they have obviously done for you.

I've gone back to a cheapo plastic protector for now while I ponder what to do next.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
That's a shame, sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm still sporting mine and I can't complain. Some dust has now made its way into the Samsung logo part but otherwise it's still all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kk-ftp:
Hi Guys,

Anyone recommend a cheap screen protector for the s7 edge that is leather case friendly? I've been through 3 or 4 and with all of them I've torn them off due to poor response to touch and stylus!

Something preferably from ebay uk.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] revized:
Anyone find a the real deal glass yet? Doubt it :( all the ones from ebay say say tempered glass although it's not true like the ones I have always used, you know the real deal ones that stick to the screen themselves? All the ones from ebay are pretend and get scratched easy and have a mickey mouse sticky tape around the edge that keeps a bunch of separation between it and so bunch of unresponsive area unless you push on it like your wearing gloves lol not to mention that the screen looks all warped like plastic now. Back to the cheapy plastic ones that at least work. :(

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Philip:
Yet another tempered glass protector which seems to have Marmite feedback on Amazon (79 x 5* and 36 x 1*, with only a handful of 2*, 3* or 4* reviews).

I wonder whether it's down to differences in the tolerances of the handset/protectors, or different people's installation techniques, or even different people's expectations of a protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Same, and some lint or dirt probably due to the initial positioning. I will say this, it's probably 80% responsive. But better than plastic, as far as proctection.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Squeezed mine in to that Gear VR last night and was surprised it didn't crack or take damage but it's still stuck good.

Hands down best protector for responsiveness for me. Honestly, I'm closer to 95% responsive. Ive still only got a small amount of dust by Samsung logo, elsewhere Crystal clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ImYoungxD:
I use this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/132084284071?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Real tempered glass.

Only problem is that it doesn't cover the edges.

It is case friendly, dust free, no touch problems. Only $2 to try it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] emeralds5668:
Ok I just got this phone. Bought the supcase unicorn beetle case. Otterbox alpha glass does not work with this case! I did find a tgsp on eBay that works pretty good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] magichoward:
I've just ordered it doesn't it make the phone look cheap as it doesn't cover the edges
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Jonnyshatter:
MY TURN!

So l have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle PRO. I previously had a film protector (case cut), and slowly the edges would start to peel up as the SP went right to the edges of the case when the case would flex the very slight amount it did.

After researching extensively, I finally decided on the Icheckey Black TGSP linked above and did an install today.

Let me start out by saying this is not my first rodeo. I applied countless film and (mostly) TGSP's when I worked at Verizon, and was very OCD when I did. If there were bubbles they were redone. I am even more OCD when applying my own (drawing a bath to raise the humidity, using a rough material and vigorously scrubbing when washing hands prior to remove dead skin cells, etc.)

I followed the instructions provided above when applying the TGSP. I also recommend downloading 2 apps to aid in the application.

1. Display Test (to keep the screen full white to help line it up)

2. Galaxy Button Lights 2 (to keep the capacitive lights always on to help line them up)

Slight Cons (YMMV):

1. I lined it up exactly over the capacitive button, which in turn lined up perfectly over the front sensors and camera. The cutout for the front speaker and home button needs to be slightly lower (see pictures). It doesn't hinder anything, but it could be better.

2. I do have a rainbowing effect on the screen (see pictures). It is only visible at certain angles and on dark screens, but it's still there. When applying I pressed from the center outward as I have on any other TGSP install (and as instructed above), though the instructions provided say "Simple press the outer edges — the adhesive part". So if done differently the rainbowing may not be there. YMMV...

3. You can see the dots with the screen off at certain angles if you're really trying to look for them, but I wouldn't consider this a con as you'll realistically never see them.

Now for the good!

1. It's so nice to have the smoothness of glass to my fingers!

2. I have noticed ZERO touch sensitivity issues!

3. Install was easy and simple!

TLDR (too long, didn't read):

Highly recommend this TGSP. Well worth it's price. No touch sensitivity issues. Take your time and follow the installation instructions.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
In Step 8 can you use a hair dryer as substitute for a heat gun ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] optimummind:
You can. Depending on the heat output level of the hair dryer, you might have to blow on the phone longer. With a heat gun with its smaller nozzle, the heat is more concentrated and easier to control. It also gets hotter much faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
Nice. Shall have to look into it :)

Shall press Thanks, later on today.

EDIT:

Done :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kevinlevrone:
I really hope so (otherwise I won't upgrade to S8), but that S8 leak could be from some high-profile tempered glass manufacturer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bveditz:
So, I noticed the new one you have doesn't cover the logo yet I believe the GPEL one does, correct? I've been trying to find one that covers the logo but less then the GPEL cost since I don't like the way the others look and don't really see the point in showing the logo anyway. My research in the past on the ebay ones and emailing the sellers is that even the ones that show the logo being covered, don't actually cover them (they're just using stock photos, not photos from the actual products).

Wondering if anyone out there has found black tempered glass ones for a reasonable price that covers the logo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] yoyobabyyo:
I had the same exact problem with the Klearlook. Overall, it is a beautiful screen protector, but the tolerance of the screen protector is too off that it doesn't adhere around all edges and there are a couple of dead spots on the screen.

I also didn't like how the side edges are colored in to hide the adhesive strips because it covers a little bit of the edge display.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] MohamedYousri:
Dears,

Any one tried these

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Curve...igen+Crystal+HD+Samsung+Galaxy+S7+Edge+Curved
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Philip:
I've not tried those specific one, but I am using something very similar, although without the Spigen branding:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291737074694

and it seems to be working very well for me (only had it on for a few days, so it's too early to tell what it will be like in the long term).

None of these claim to be "case friendly", but I'm using mine with my Spigen Tough Armour and I've not (yet) had any lifting at the edges. I did make sure (as suggested in the eBay listing) to warm the protector with a hair dryer before installing it.

[It's also annoying to note that the Spigen ones are US$7.99 on amazon.com, but UK£9.99 - about US$12.39 - on amazon.co.uk :( ]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] vipercoyote:
is it still working?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kk-ftp:
I got this, it's a iphone tempered glass screen protector? Lol

Thought it would at least cover the part just before the edge curves but it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] MohamedYousri:
I got tired trying screen protectors and wasted a lot of money on them but not brave enough to use the phone without it !

Any one using the phone without screen protector can share his experience ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] s8freak:
Yep dropped it Small crack upper left and within a day or so the dreaded Pink line appeared. I then bought a new one and immediately put one back on.

Never again I've found a cheap one that comes 2 in a pack that even though not consistent it works decently. I think they were under 9 bucks US.

The pink line appeared to me and i never dropped the phone and changed the screen under warranty

Almost all screen protector available wont help saving the phone from drops, i only using them for scratches
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] s8freak:
Well I'll disagree with you on protecting the screen. I put the second TGSP on and like and Idiot was in a rush and forgot I had my Device on the car seat. When I got out Device hit the ground and the TGSP did what it was supposed to...shatter and protect the screen which it did beautifully.

As far as your Pink line I've read that yes sometimes it just appears and sometimes it appears after a drop.

I'll never go without a TGSP spending 9 bucks US for two is a HECK of a lot cheaper than replacing a screen and possibly digitizer as well.

Pretty well, yes. There are a couple of places on the edge where it's lifting slightly, but it's still the best that I have experienced.

(How well it would work for anybody else is a moot point - the success of any given protector seems to very much depend on the tolerances of your individual handset and screen protector, as well as your installation technique...)

Guys so today randomly from a tap my alpha glass screen protector has a hairline crack. I know everyone is moving on to the s8/s8+ but does anyone Recommend me another tgsp or should I claim otterbox warrenty?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gimmie dat:
A product called whitestone dome glass for the s7 edge looks very promising. I will be trying it once I get the funds. A bit expensive at $45 but it just might be worth it. Its a tempered glass protector with full screen coverage adhesive and not just the sides like all the others. Its the first time I have seen such a product for S7Edge. Its also looks to be cut in a way that makes it case friendly.

There are a couple of videos on youtube and you can order on amazon. Installation looks difficult but it seems they tried to simplify the process as much as possible. Oh and on youtube there is a video of them drop testing a blue s7edge with the protector installed. That video is important because it answered my biggest question about their product which is "will the adhesive from the protector damage the screen upon removal". In the video, the guy just peels off the protector leaving the screen unscratched.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SlyUK:
Can you kindly provide link to the video(s) of it ?
