Well considering I'm using my Tech 21 case in that picture yes you can. I've tested it with all of my cases (see my OP in this forum) it works fine. You do have to be care with some cases and lift their 'lip' so it sits on top of the protector when inserting your phone so it won't pull it up, but once you do that there are 0 issues. That's the +/- of having a E2E screen protector for the top/bottom and sides. I'll post more of my case reviews this evening so you can see how it fits in my 7-8 cases
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ebpman:
All,

I got the supershieldz as well. Here are a few of my observations. The film has two protective coats that have to be removed. One is the sticky side that gets applied to the screen. The second is a pin film that is on the touch side. This one was a pain to remove. To get a good fit. I removed the side and place it on the phone then took the stick tabs and aligned the bottom and top to the phone. once it was aligned I worked from a corner to pull off the pink film. its a royal pain. the paper tab comes off at times but I made it work. Once the pink film is removed I used a card to smooth out the film or any bubbles. This film is very thin and feels sticky at first but this will go away after a few minutes of use. The film will mark up easily if you have long nails. Also, it does tend to bunch up if you put on a case. This was the case with the otterbox commuter, spigen tough, vrs case and UAG. But I was able to adjust them easily. The good news is that I have been using the phone for over a week now and no lifting. I had the s6 and used spigen and finally gave up. But this one is working well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I agree, the install is a huge PITA, but the end result is well worth it. As I mentioned cases do work you just have to ensure their lip doesn't bunch it up when putting the phone in. If you read the directions you would've seen where it said gently press out the big bubbles with the included card wrapped in a microfiber cloth. I did this and didn't have any issues getting it to install correctly despite my slight misalignment.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jproy12:
Thanks for the tips guys, planning on getting a screen protector as well as the UAG case, it seems like they are due to ship mid-march.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] busab:
I can confirm this. I bought this from tmobile a few days ago. I have bubbles at the top and the sides are already peeling up around the curved edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
Just look for a case friendly screen protector. There are a few specifically labelled that way.

I have the armorsuit on mine and it fits fine with both the UAG ICE and Spigen Tough Armor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] cheerup38:
can you post some pics with the uag? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] 70dad2:
I'm using an Armorsuit military shield with a Spigen neohybrid case. The screen protector does cover the entire screen so of course I was somewhat apprehensive about putting the case back on. I am actually very pleased with the results. It aligned perfectly, has no lifting around edges after putting on the case and no bubbles. Looks almost perfect. You just have to be patient while applying it and let it dry over night. My only complaint would be that my fingers don't glide as smoothly as it would on a glass screen protector but that's unavoidable with this particular type of material. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome but of course the true test will be long term, day to day use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
Sorry, I mis-spoke, it's not the ICE, it's the MAGMA Featherlight Composite ... fit is the same, just color difference. I went with Magma because I wanted to try some color. To be complete, the screen protector I have is the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Case-Friendly.

That stated, I used my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 to take the pics so hopefully they are helpful.

I tried to catch some different angles and close to the top/bottom so you can see how the alignment turned out. The screen protector was left on the phone overnight after application before putting the case on, I have not had any problems with the case intefering. I have also not had a problem with the Gear VR with respect to the screen protector.

Xtreme Guards

I had originally tried getting the 3 pack from verizon (front only film) and installed one on mine and one on my fiances phone. They were terrible. Paper thin, scratched through the "protective" sheet still on them for application. With a day they started peeling up on the edges. I have a picture of how bad they got.

With my poor experience with that, I ordered from Xtreme Guard (they have a 90% off promo code : Easter90off) which made the full protection (front and back) roughly $1.30 per set. I ordered 2. The pictures I am attaching were done in a fairly rushed manner (usually I take my time and am anal about anything under the film) due to the one peeling off from verizon and trying to juggle attention to a 7 month old. Over all I am very happy with the quality of the protector (front and back). The one downside is they don't provide the solution for the wet install, but for the price, I can't really blame them. Simple water and a couple drops of dish soap in a spray bottle works wonders. I installed the front and back in about 10 minutes worth of time (squeegeeing out the liquid and then user a little heat from a hairdryer to speed up the process)

It did go from edge to edge. I will tell you that you need to do your best to line it up (i have just the slightest extra on the bottom that once heated it did adhere down). I left it sit over night before putting my case back on. The pictures I took were after taking my case back off. you can see one spot in the bottom right corner where the case put a dimple in the extra. I do believe if i had slightly adjusted it a hair up it wouldn't have been there. I would suggest these skins especially for the price and the quality of them. I ordered 3 more for under $5 bucks (I will be redoing the one on my phone now that I know they are worth the time and are decent quality). The edges all seem to be held down very well and also fully seated under the unicorn beetle case that I love.

I had zagg hd, full body. Installed on day 1 of getting the s7, but recently its been getting on my nerves as when you look from an angle it's very distorted and has grooves everywhere, i took it off and wow!!!! The screen is so damb clear without it on its amazing, it offers great protection but it sure isn't HD

Yes zagg hd dry
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Yeah, i have the full body one as well, dry HD. I, too, notice groves. The Verizon manager who installed mine did her best, but placed it more to the right. Now, when cases go on, it bubbles more on the right. So might ask Zagg for new ones.

So I was browsing Kickstarter earlier and came across this... Now I'm not 100% sure how well this is going to work, but for 25 bucks for two coatings, I'm willing to give it a try since I've spent just as much on screen protectors already.

Official Samsung Clear case, but a not very much protection
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Has anyone used Clear-coat before?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
As in clear coat for a car or other object? That sounds like a terrible idea unless the screen can be removed from the phone during the process. It would likely void your warranty too if it even helps which is debatable. I would rather have an air coated sapphire "finish" for the screen. I know it can be done, but the question is at what price...

No mate. These:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
+2

I've tried two kinds of ArmorSuit (extra clear and matte), Skinomi MatteSkin, and Invisishield HD, and I like the ArmorSuit most.

I like the feel of the ArmorSuit matte more than the clear (less "rubbery" drag) and like the reduce glare/reflection. Unsure how much I like what it does to Gear VR viewing though. Too early to tell.

The ArmorSuit matte is not available case-friendly yet though, so case compatibilty will vary. Works fine with the Obliq case I have, and one of the more soft TPU cases I have can be convinced to wrap it's top/bottom edges around the skin and prevent pull-up, but others will vary (like I doubt it works with UAG or Spigen Tough Armor).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
That's better than what I was expecting :D I've seen people try some crazy things so you have to take things at face value sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
There's a thread on that option here in this forum, IRRC. Only available in Canada, not the US.

Oh, nvm, it's Clearplex that I was thinking of, not Clear-cote.

I've had the Zagg Invisible Shield Dry on my S6 Edge since the day I bought it a year ago yesterday. It has exceeded my expectations in every way. I'm putting one on my S7 Edge tomorrow when it arrives. They are most assuredly not easy to apply though, at least for me.

Ive always had good luck with XtremeGuard stuff... used it on my past 2 phones..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] pauze10:
I had Supershieldz on my and my wife's phones. Application was easy, but I had problems with our Spigen Tough Armor and Ultra Hybrid Clear cases pushing up on the edges of the film. My Obliq Naked Shield case didn't have that issue with the Supershieldz, but I prefer the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as my daily driver, and wifey loves the Tough Armor.

I decided to try the Armorsuit MilitaryShield case friendly films. My wife's Tough Armor still pushes up the film on the bottom corners a tiny bit. Tucking it under the case seems to help but it might be a matter of time for the case to wiggle enough for dirt to get under the corners of the film. It appears to be fitting fine with my Ultra Hybrid case, but overall I just don't like the film. It was kind of a pain to put on (though I'm willing to admit I'm not really a fan of wet installs), dust and dirt still managed to get under the film, and there are already scuffs on the film that aren't healing. It provides a good amount of screen coverage despite that, but I'll be looking for a replacement sooner rather than later.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] C0derbear:
hint, for the case-friendly film, put it on with the phone in the case.

Handy placement guide to guarantee no conflict.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Philease:
Id like a screen protector and a grandad case, the leather flip vertical ones, ideally without any credit card slots. At the moment the case pushs up my skin, which is slightly annoying but at least protecting my screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
You just wasted $5.

They're awful. Several of us took up the same deal last month. Like you, I've had good experience with them before however the ones they sent for the S7 Edge are truly awful. Not cut correctly and don't fit or line up well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] cuezaireekaa:
Yep. Same here and I got 4 of them in case I messed up. They're very thin and rubbery but I finally got the 4th one installed with only a couple of dust specks that created tiny bubbles. It still looked horrible IMO, and I had to cut a couple mm off the home button area so it wouldn't cover up the button. Keep an eye out for that before you stick it! Maybe yours/his will be updated..

After two days I took it off. It decreased the screen clarity a lot and was RUBBERY AND TACKY AF! But it did do its job until my zagg HD dry came in. I'm very happy with the zagg. Could be happier with one that isn't as tacky, but its good for now.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the rubberiest tacky felling.. The xtremegaurd was an 8 and the zagg is a 3. Its very clear but not completely like a glass would be.

I will say, I got a glass protector from xtremegaurd for my note 3 and that one is perfectly fine and looks great. No lifting with cases on either.

We live, we learn.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Dr. Fed:
Spigen curved crystal is the best screen protector I've used so far in my opinion. It doesn't extend to the corners, which is probably why my case (Spigen rugged armor) has not caused it to bubble up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bkeaver:
I just installed IQ Shield and seems to be pretty good for a wet protector. I usually don't like them but they look like they will even play well with my case as the sides don't go all the way down to the metal. I'll post some pics as soon as I can.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Well I've moved in to the Zagg HD Dry camp. Pretty simple install, they make the whole procedure pretty easy really. Love how glass like it feels. I was a bit gutted about top and bottom pieces looking like they had bubbles but next day they had totally vanished. Patience is key. Definitely best film protector money can buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
yeah, and keep a case off at least over night and let the adhesive set in. Thank God they have a life time warranty, I got my replacement, I think, in the mail and i haven't gone home to get it.

I just switched from the zagg HD to the spigen screen protector. So far so good it definitely feels a lot better running your fingers across the screen. Although as expected with a screen protector like this scratches will happen a lot easier than with the zagg.

Skinnomy is my choice. Might take a week to fully dry out the water. It is diffenately stealthy and durable. It doesn't feel I have anything on the screen. Touch sensitivity has not changed but you have to be patient till full dry out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] azelaya:
I've tried the skinomi, zagg HD, Verizon 3 pack, armorsuit and now the spigen. So far my favorite has been a toss up between the zagg HD and the spigen. The spigen would be the clear winner except that after 3 or 4 days use the edge started lifting and it's not because of the case (official Samsung clear case or Samsung keyboard case). The spigen feels very smooth and you don't realize it's on the screen because it is so thin, the zagg feels just as smooth except you do feel it (down by the home button) and see it at times.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Any reasoning? I've tried a number of film protectors and the Zagg HD Dry is top for me. Good glass like feel being the main draw for me plus it doesn't scratch easily like many of the others I've tried personally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
out of frustration, i guess. I've had a replacement already that not even the geek squad could put on. I complained to Zagg and they are sending me another one free of charge; last time i paid like 3.99 shipping. Did you install yourself or had someone else?

Hi i've got the spigen rugged armor for my silver s7 edge .. i've been wondering about the spigen curve crystal or the iq shield friendly clear screen.

I second that, I had the new spigen and it started lifting after 3 days. I had a 2 pack of skinomi that I had ordered for my daughter so I threw the extra one on my phone. I was very happy with the results after letting the phone sit over night the protector was healed perfectly and feels great.

This time I changed myself from Glass screen protector to thin screen protectors. Went for Gadgetshieldz full body protectors. They are really new to me, but their screen protector shows a lot of experience. As it was wet install need to go with some videos online for better installation. It's been a month I installed them on my S7. Fingerprint won't smudge on the phone. Easy to use the Phone without the case. Totally invisible, Good precision, covers all the parts of the phone, front, rear, camera and sides of the metal frame even the curved edges of the phone.

I think International customers can buy from here http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html

Does the fingerprint reader still work with that home button cover?

The plastic home button seems to get scratched very easily if anyone knows where to get a cover for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hp79:
I also have the Spigen on mine. It comes with 2 protectors. The first one had problems with lifting as soon as it was applied. The whole left edge was lifting, dangling in the air. The second one worked for both edges, but I still see two tiny air pockets on the very top and bottom corners.

The touch feels great, and the film seems it's optically coated, you'll see the purple reflection at the right angle. It scratches very easy, mine already has tons of scratches on it. I'll probably throw it away and use it bare.

Because the way it's cut out on the top and bottom for case-compatibility, it kind of makes the look cheap. Oh, and tons of fingerprint, or finger grease that doesn't go away.

I wouldn't pay more than $5. I think I paid $2 after a discount code.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Zagg proved it's worth for me today. Phone dropped down side of my car seat and slipped between the centre console and metal seat anchor bracket. Display side against the metal. Managed to just about get fingers on it and Gingerly lifted it out, but I could feel that in doing so it was scraping metal corner on screen. Anyway, got it free and the Zagg had taken an inch long indentation. Checked it was only the Zagg which took the hit and thankfully it was.

Couple hours later, the Zagg has self healed. I can hardly make out where the blemish was now.

I'm certain that would have left some sort of Mark on the screen if the Zagg wasn't there to protect it.

It covers 99% of the phone, its minimal and plays friendly with protectors. OK it might not be super drop proof but I'm pretty confident it would come out unscathed under normal drop situations. I risk assessed myself lol, and based on previous handsets I've maintained a high no drop percentage! This I feel, covers me enough coupled with the Zagg for the screen.
