The Trial and error with cases for new phones can get a bit annoying, tiresome or frustrating. I returned my neo hybrid spigen. Returned a ringke clear lol, bought a naked tough case mate (which Ram from here) convinced me was rubbish. I have an incipio dual pro, that I thought would go well with my Zagg dry full body, but lifted it. I bought a Lovvitt Clear case when it was on sale for amazon, now trying to sell that too lol. Samsung clear case, but no good protection. I am using the Nillkin thin case right now with a cheapie screen protector that I went installed last night.

OH BTW, I think some, if not alot, of the wet install screen protectors, are basically cheap rubber like plastic with adhesive that adheres better when wet. Zagg maybe the only company that uses good material for theirs.

I bought a wooden case made of teak wood - has intense, specific smell of wood. Plus, it's resistant to water. So far, I'm happy with it. Feel more natural holding the phone for hours per day, plus the phone is protected.

After 5 tries from Best Buy and their Geek Squad to install the Invisible Shield HD I told them to back off my phone and got my refund. It's naked right now so I'll be trying one of your suggestions.

Hello, I just wanted to say that I bought 6 of these (because we have multiple S7E in my house) and for the price, I doubt there is anything better. I got 6 just to be able to cut off some of the sides and be able to use it with cases. Thanks for the heads up :) And just to let everyone know, the easter90 coupon is still valid for 90% off!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] swiftfury:
Gadgetshieldz has the rainbow/distortion effect on the front screen, so its a big no no for me, removed it 3 days after installation.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] iquit040:
Glad to hear someone else found the value in them. I have to say that they have been holding up on both mine and my finances phones. I had a decent sized scratch in my protector this morning (thanks to the baby) that has almost 100% self healed. For how cheap these were that is a shock. I will warn anyone who gets them, don't go crazy with super soaking the screen / protector during the install. The act of squeegeeing out the fluid might lead to a little bit of stretch if you do it excessively. Watched a friend do it... I ordered a GPEL tempered glass protector, hopefully not a huge let down. If it breaks or is terrible I have a couple spares of these to bounce back to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Keep us updated because what I'm really interested in is having a screen protector, glass or plastic or wet style, that can stick on with a case. So now I have a few different types of cases and a few different types of screen covers on their way... Going to have to make a check list! Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Monkey Slut:
Polish company 3mk has a film for front screen which I'm using. And it's quite good. Let's say, I screwed up the Instalation and the dust got under it- I washed it under sink few times to clean it, took of and put on many times and finally got it to lay good. It sticks after the washing really well (the installation is dry but it worked for me also wet) and after hours of trying I managed to put it quite nice.

Thanks for the heads-up abut the Xtreme Guard screen protectors. I ordered 4 full and the postage to South Africa was only $5.87. Me very happy. Thanks guys.

The coupon code real80 will get you 80% off for the Xtremeguard if you only want one. $2 for screen protector with free shipping. Definitely a great bargain.

xtremeguard is pure garbage, it's not worth it even if it's free. I bought a few and then trashed them all. quality and price and precision go hand in hand in this case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Jammin72:
Interesting. Something must have changed then. I had their original formula on my iPhone 4, iPad 2, some Vizio Tablet Variant, and my HTC One X and it was of good quality. It's not my favorite texture (none of the self healing varieties are) but always an exact fit, easy application (outside of long drying time), and provided the protection I was looking for. I switched up to Tempered glass on my next 3 devices so haven't used them in a while but it's a shame to hear that it's not up to snuff. Will report back when i get mine.

I think they just rushed out the s7 edge protectors. They were cut very badly and not smooth at all..BUT...the note 3 glass I got from them is perfect. HD clear and right to the edge without any lifting. Very good quality and I got the 90%discount so at least I got some worth out of my purchase. Weird there was such a difference in quality. Has to be rushed. Hopefully fixed now.

VZ S7 EDGE ONYX
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
I've tried ArmorSuit, Skinomi, and IQ Shield LiquidSkin case-friendly protectors.

For my 2c ...

The IQ shield has the most aggressive cut, leaving the most space for cases around the corners of the Edge. Probably the "most" case friendly. Works very well with both my Spigen Tough Armor and UAG Magma. I haven't tried it yet but I feel like it would interface well with the Gear VR too.

I find that the ArmorSuit and Skinomi have about the same cut design, I would give a slight favor towards the ArmorSuit as a more precise cut.

I had the ArmorSuit on the phone for a couple weeks and had one "crease" in the protector develop and never resolve itself. We'll see if that happens with the IQ over time.

I think the IQ shield and ArmorSuit are comparatively clear, with the Skinomi a very very close 2nd. Totally subjective though.

I did find that none of them show as plain flat "glass" - such as a bare screen or a TGSP would - having some very light "orange peel" noticeable when the screen is off. When the screen is on, or on top of the silver bezels on my phone, I don't notice this. I would guess that the black phone would have it noticeable on the bezel space. it's not enough to put me "off" any of the three, just that it is there.

Of the three, I find that the IQ Shield has the best "touch" feel ... most slick and least rubbery. The ArmorSuit to me was the least slick, not problematic but definitely not as slick as the IQ.

I haven' tried the IQ shield in the Gear VR yet so I don't know how it shows up under magnification.

Strangely, my favorite style screen protector so far has been the Skinomi Matte skin, but that isn't in a cut that is case friendly, yet. Even with the minor 'matte finish' artifact under Gear VR in play I didn't find it troublesome for dynamic displays (game, video) and only really noticeable with static display.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Cool, thanks for the review. Yeah, the armorsuit has that rubbery texture, and at certain angles orange peel like look; but not bad.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Hunkman:
I guess you are referring to orange peel texture that is visible in all wet install protectors from some extreme angles. Well I have tried other wet protectors too and you will find it worse in other brands of wet screen protectors. YMMV but by far I have seen gadgetshieldz protectors to be the clearest. I will try to post some pictures. The protectors are very clear on the back, screen of course with some very slight texture being visible on certain extreme angles.

I just installed the D&P screen protector and it's probably one if the best feeling good TPU protectors. The only downside is the installation process, I consider myself a pro with installations but man this one was just bad. Typically "tab 1" signifies the 1st tab you pull off toeexpose the adhesive, we'll on these when you pull tab 1 it actually takes the actual protector off with it.

just installed the hd dry on my phone. like our boy floss would say, on a scale from 1 to 10 this is a win! :D:D:D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Omega Point:
I've had a Zagg HD Dry on since I got the phone a week ago and not had any issues with it lifting so far. Works great with the Spigen Wallet case though I did leave the protector on for 24 hours before I put the phone in the case.

Only tricky part was getting the edges to stick when applying, the application layer kept pealing them back off the screen so I gave up and removed the application layer before sticking the edges down. Took about 24 hours for the few bubbles to vanish but can hardly tell its there now, not even a tiny bubble.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] thegtfusion:
same here, no bubbles while applying and you barely know it's on.. i've had the zagg original before which was a nightmare

I always buy from best skin ever, until a quality Glass comes out like Glass-m or Spigen.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
I've had mine on a couple weeks now and it's been holding steady, however it has just started to lift ever so slightly at the points which lie just under the home button in the cut out portion. The cut out areas probably have the most vulnerable to lifting parts to be honest so I kind of expected it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jproy12:
+1 for BSE! For the price and quality, it can't be beaten, love mine, have one applied on both front and rear.

Front is the case-fit one, so I can use my UAG case with it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] DoYouEvenBacon:
Jus google best skins ever and you'll get their website. I've had mine applied for the past 11 days and there's no peeling on the edges. There's a slight orange peel effect but it's not noticable and is probably because of how I applied it.

XDAxBSE to get 10% off on bestskinsever.com....I have tried all the skins and the skinomi ones and the bestskinsever are by far the best. Bestskinsever has the most precise cutouts I have ever seen and skinomi has the best customer service. can't go wrong with either.

I installed the BSE screen protector, but it started to peel after a few days so I removed it. I only used my thin fit case so it wouldn't cause lift, but that didn't seem to help.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ipaq_101:
they will easily replace it.

You really have to baby the protector for at least a day, use the soapy solution and make sure it adheres, I usually make sure to press the edge a few times ever hour or so to make sure it sticks.... I hate the damn scratches the screen protectors get after a week or so..... self healing is a lie, once you get a dent it stays and then eventually it needs to be replaced

I have the screen knight protector from ebay. It was my first wet install. Installation was pretty simple and left it to dry all night. Good fit, no bubbles but orange peal effect. Till a perfect glass will come out, I will use this with my clear view cover.

Any recommendations for matte screen protector ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
I liked both the Skinomi and the ArmorSuit. Unsure which I liked more. Both felt very similar to me.

I'm struggling with whether I like a matte finish more than a clear finish, honestly.

Matte doesn't show fingerprints as much but obviously has a different look to it.

The ArmorSuit matte finish had less rubbery / more slippery feeling to touch than their clear protector, IMO. Not hugely different, but I liked it more for feel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Nikka93:
I've bought one today let's see
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] squall_kay:
Thanks for your feedback. Any of these brand compatible with TPU case like Spigen Rugged Armor or Obliq Slim Meta?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hpl912:
is armorsuit protector good for a case? how fit are on the edges and corners?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
It's ok, does have an orange peel effect at an angle, but not bad. If you do opt for an Armorsuit, get the case friendly wet install. When doing the wet install, be patient and once you properly install let leave it alone for some 12 or so hours. Do it around night time.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hpl912:
thanks. this one has the rubbery feel right?

is there one that fits a case and is not rubbery or orange peel effect? probably bestskinever?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Yes, it had somewhat of a rubbery feel. I think I read on here that the IQ shields case friendly had a better feel. I would probably go try the IQ shields case friendly before armor suit. I have the armor suit case friendly and am using a tech 21 evo case, and I see slight lifting on top already.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] PunchY^2:
I have the IQ shield. Pretty smooth feel, not rubbery IMO. Typical finish look for these protectors. People have no idea it is there while I'm showing this beautiful screen off.

Slightly difficult application but that's mostly because of the S7 Edge. (Edges need some TLC and patience)

Fits great with my case ( Artech 21 [Jelly Dallas Series silver white ] $5 from amazon when it was on sale) no peeling or lifting over the last month of heavy use.

Best of all, $9 for two of them... still have one to spare.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
To my touch, the IQ is a little more slippery / glass-like feeling than the Skinomi clear; the Skinomi matte is between the two ... feels great.

I liked the 'cut' of the Skinomi screen-friendly a little more than the IQ, but the IQ probably has a wider case compatibility.

FWIW, I currently have an ArmorSuit clear screen protector on ... from the screen-protector+body full-coverage kit ... and it integrates well with

- the Obliq Naked Shield (no interference)

- Ringke Fusion Crystal Clear TPU (but I had to use a thin plastic card to swipe between screen protector and bottom/top lips of the Ringke to keep the cover from being pulled up).

- Ghostek Cloak - and there's no indication of interference with the ArmorSuit screen protector.

I decided to try the Ghostek to get more side protection than the Ringke, we'll see how it goes long term as I just put the Ghostek on this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Canadoc:
Love the Ghostek case!

Using rear screen protector I find affects the fit and buttons on many cases. For Ghostek I notice the power and volume buttons are less clicky with it on
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] azelaya:
So far out of all the protectors I've used spigen, zagg hd, d&p, Verizon 3 pack and skinomi (full and case friendly), the skinomi case friendly seems to be the safe choice. The first is perfect although for some reason the poetic affinity case just wasn't friendly with it. It's feel great on your finger, I won't go as far as to say like glass because once the screen gets dirty or if you are out on a hot muggy day you will feel it get rubbery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] touchy66:
