i just got my S7 last week, and its starting to look futile. i may just have to hope for the best, and just replace my screen if it breaks. i had to replace the back panel on my S6 so i could exchange it for my new S7, because somehow that shattered in my case, and it wasnt too bad of a job... there is absolutely no reason to have a curved screen, what a PITA. it sucks that the only "good" ones are not clear. or they have a dot matrix. why cant it be as easy as finding a protector for my S6!

Here is a video of that nillkin glass. I think this is the best option. Having a tiny halo effect on the sides won't bother.

Hi Guys,

I am from India. I am looking for a tempered glass screen protector-it should cover the whole screen even the side edges on S7, a cover- not too thick and a back panel guard/lamination film. I have tried almost every link posted in the thread, even ordered from 2 but unfortunately the products were stopped by customs and they asked for $100 for a product with a price of $8. Are there any products available on ecommerce websites in India which meet my requirements?

Thanks

Anyone else have experience with these Spartan Glass protectors from XtremeGuard? Looking to get some, but wanted to see others' feedback on their experience. Will probably pair it with a Ringke or similar TPU case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] ttf:
I ended up buying a Qilive Q.9313 full screen curved glass (edge to edge) , i removed the dot matrix, up/down colors accents, and the glue stickers myself with some acetone. Now i have perfectly "100%" clear glass, so far no halo or rainbow colors issues. I fixed it in place with some UV screen glue -UV Loca UV911-2D (invisible one 99.8% light conductivity) a fine line all around the glass edges (can easily be remove with a razor blade if needed - The glue stay rubbery when dry).

I use it with a Spigen case, the slim one and so far no problem since. Perfectly clear, no dust, no sensitivity loss or tolerance with tight cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] lickwid:
I bought the Spartan Tempered glass first, and it didn't lay flat on the bottom edges. Might have been user error, but I removed it as after a few days, dust and lint was getting under there. I also purchase this generic one: (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYWMXKT). And I've had it on for a few days and it's been working great. There is a slight lost of sensitivity on the edges at some points, but it's not terrible.

Here it is by itself, no case:

I'm also struggling trying to find a screen protector that fits my needs.

So far I'm using one that sits only on the flat real estate of the screen leaving like 3mm on each side of the actual screen out.

This gets annoying after a bit because it makes hard to press stuff on the sides but even worse it makes swipes from the outter to inner sides painful in a way that it kinda makes sore your finger (for example when you do the double swipe to drop down the notifications panel in landscape mode).

I would like a recomendation for a screen protector that fits the following criteria:

*It's Tempered Glass

*It covers the whole screen without (importantly?) covering the rest of the small bezel between the screen and the metal sides. (not important for me)

*It doesn't have these tacky colored/printed parts on it, or better articulated it's 100% transparent.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xDark_:
get a thinner screen protector with gaps. my mom got one in Hong Kong and it's barely thicker than a plastic one, and side usage is great. otherwise, you're looking for a full screen one with no borders.

that's just a generic one. they're pretty shxt tbh
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaq1907:
I have ordered and used G.D.SMITH tempered glass from Ali Express. It was looking better than 3-4$ ones. I couldn't test it if dust enters from edges after a while but it was looking good after using it 2-3 weeks (it broken today cos phone dropped). I can suggest it:good:

This doesn't have dot matrix I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] laurie9300:
I've had a few of the protectors in this thread. The best by far that I've used is this one from Kogan.

https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-...mpFWb9ITp8DgYVb49n3EywNCmpwC6Z_feIaAmY38P8HAQ

It still is dot matrix, and only sticks around the edges, but there's very little reduction in sensitivity, even around the edge, and no clicking......

Anyone got a eBay/Amazon (US only) link for a screen protector which covers edges as well for S7 flat. Non-tempered and tempered both.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] yoshi8rice:
I purchased one from Amazon called ProChosen which cost about $12.99 with free prime shipping. After using the screen protector I don't recommend it because for me personally it feels like I lost the touch sensitivity and I find myself having to swipe multiple times or accidentally selecting something because I try to scroll on the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] swong1:
Thanks for the the recommendation - I got this one and it is excellent in terms of coverage and touch sensitivity.

The quality isn't as good as others I have - fingerprint resistance isn't that great. But having a perfect fit is most important and this one fits the bill.

Thanks!

better galaxy s7 screen protector

I've been using this screen protector for a while for my galaxy s7 and it is great! It fits my phone well because it is 3D full cover. Check out the website iloome with $5 dollar discount coupon code 3DMAXDK5
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] h1n1viruz:
although my tempered glass screen is cheap and was only $1.00

I got it on my Galaxy S7, and no halo effect or anything, no loss of sensitivity or anything, even though it only covers partial of the screen I feel its a good deal

where I bought it from

Dollar Tree

I bought a couple to ensure I place it correctly

advice if you have gotten one from Dollar Tree

put it on in the restroom with the shower going with hot water, it gets steamy, and placement was good,

if you get halo effect, just apply pressure to the areas and it will go down and adhere.

Ordered this one for my wife and it seems pretty good:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CUKZ296/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

NOTE: Depending on the color of your phone, make sure you order the correct one. The one above is for the gold phone which my wife (as well as myself and my eldest daughter) has. There is another one for the black edition as well:

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Co...ywords=mFilm+Bye-Bye-Bubble+Samsung+Galaxy+S7

So far, no complaints other than the top and bottom portions are colored (black or gold depending on which you order). Not sure why that is. Wish they would have just made it clear so you can see the actual color of the phone through it. It doesn't cover the Samsung logo as that part is cut out. Also, the two buttons at the bottom are visible when they light up.

The adhesive silicone gel is only on the edges of the screen protector, not in the display panel. This was intentionally designed to prohibit any Halo effects, which I saw none which was excellent. Touch was very responsive right after applying the protector and so far, no complaints from my wife.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] charliebigpot:
Any chance of a post 15 days review? :) Still as good as the first impressions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] iBolski:
After about a week's use, my wife took it off. The issue is still with edges. The curved edges of the screen are making just about any type of glass-type screen protectors no good when it comes to the edge detection. Mainly, when in landscape mode and you attempt to swipe down on the notification bar.

My screen protector was the type that didn't quite cover the entire screen and it was causing the same issues.

We both have cases with raised bevels and we rarely, if ever, drop our phones, so we're just going to go without the screen protector. Plus, I've noticed fingerprint smudges on the screen are not as bad as they are on the glass protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] amirf2:
I'm using a generic full screen tempered glass screen protector and I'm about to lose it, I literally need to knock on the screen when I'm trying to press the keyboard letters that are located near the edges, it's so annoying.

Could someone please tell me which screen protector has the best touch sensitivity?

I don't mind if it's not full cover, I just want to be able to use again a touch screen smartphone and not a knock screen… :crying:

may god bless you for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Don't know if someone else has already posted this - I checked with Bodyguardz and they confirmed that their S7 Tempered Glass screen protector also has the "halo". Just an FYI.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Are you able to use a case with this screen protector? Most cases are pretty tight and normally come up over the edge of the bezel.

I tried multiple different screenprotectors. Now using the tech21 matte screenprotector. I'ts an ordenairy plastic one, but the best one i have used. Very good impact protection and good vision in sunlight

Im using this 3d cheap 3$ tempered glass from aliexpress, its transparent, not with color, theres glue/tape around the edges to keep the glass to the screen. And as far as i see, its not 3d dot matrix type like the other tempered glass, i know because i also using those before using this.

So far recommended

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] jonmac73:
hi, thought i'd posted here already. UK user of S7 (not EDGE) since March '17. Tried a number of film and glass protectors - non looked or worked good with my chosen Spigen clear soft case.

Ordered this from Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N4DVVWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Has been on for couple of months now and no problems. If you look really close at an angle with screen off you can see a few lines - think that down to my installation - can't see when screen on. And where all the cutouts are at top it has lifted slightly a couple of time but pushed back flat fine - again if installing again would put it slightly lower to avoid this.

Spigen case has raised profile on top - provided careful when inserting has caused no lifting issues on sides.

REALLY recommend this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
looks good - But do you think that it provides the same protection as a Tempered Glass screen protector?

I'm currently "living" with the Spigen Tempered Glass screen protector... with the "halo"... optimistic marketing term I'm sure - lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Edge330:
My phone is full od little scratches all over dispay. My phone have never dropped or something similiar.

It's time to invest in some protector, but there is so much mixed reviews and don't know what to buy.

Maybe is cheap screen protector (film) best solution?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] jonmac73:
Maybe not, but then the glass ones I tried lifted at the edges. Mine has been in pockets with keys & other phone etc. for couple of months and no issues/damage yet.

Did see a 2 piece case in local mobile store - completely covered the phone with cutouts - was unbranded import so doubt it would offer as much protection as Spigen case.

I ordered this glass and put it on a phone.

I can say that I'm bit disappointed, glass fits perfectly on display, very easy to install, I thought finally have decent protection.

But I noticed visabillity isn't perfect, maybe around 90%, there is a lot of reflection, but ok, I can live with that when my phone is fully protected.

Then I tried write this review and I wasn't able typing a letters closer to edges of phone, needed to press harder to input letter. It's bit annoying and removed this protection.

On same day I got full screen plastic old school screen protector, 3 pieces from ebay for 3$, there are still few bubbles left, but visabillity is much better and dont have problem with touch input.

Copy of Gadget Shieldz protector.

It is astonishing that no one has figured out a way to make a tempered glass for these curved phones yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Well apparently Bodyguardz has made a Tempered Glass Screen Protector that is "curved" to fit the S8 & S8+ I had contacted Bodyguardz regarding the S7 and was told that they had no plans to develop a "curved" Tempered Glass screen protector for the S7 - In spite of the some 55 Million sales of the S7 & S7e!! Yeah I guess that it's just too small a Market..... LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Sir_Eagle:
They can make them. They just can't get them to stick. With the way screens are going so close to the edges of the phones, the protectors either touch the cases people use or get pushed on by us or things in pockets/purses. All of this causing them to lift off around the edges over short periods of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] billubakra:
I know and in some cases the touch is not that good. Hope they figure out something soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Here's a thought - Maybe Samsung could Design - Manufacture and sell a proper Tempered Glass screen protector........Samsung's Silver Back Gorilla Glass ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] VIRGIN KLM:
I have gotten so tired of not being able to find a tempered glass protector that fits my needs, the one I have right now Is of bad quality and it started shattering on the sides.

Could somebody give me a recommendation that fits those criteria:

1. It's REALLY tempered glass and not a simple plastics piece with adhesive on one side (like most cheap "tempered glass" protectors from ebay are)

2. Proper oleophobic coating.

3. Covers the whole screen even if the sides don't attach to the screen

4. It's completely clear from top to bottom.

5. (Which is a continuation of 1 mostly) It's slippery and it doesn't feel sticky like most plastic based protectors that are falsely named tempered glass. It's that feeling when you compare gorilla glass to basic plastic glass, gorilla feels more slippery and more solid (I hope I'm making sense).

Price doest matter, infact I'd rather pay a reputable brand than it not fitting my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Well - In spite of the fact that I'm not thrilled with it - I've always used Bodyguardz Pure Tempered Glass Screen Protectors on all my Devices - I ended up getting a Spigen GLAStR - I got it and the phone this past April and even though it doesn't "curve" to fit the screen - It IS real tempered glass and it is protecting my phone along with an Incipio Dual Pro case - It's not exactly what I want - But the Spigen GLAStR is very solid and no issues with chipping or scratches.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] VIRGIN KLM:
The problem is that it's not available in Spigen's UK/Europe site and Spigen US ships it for $87. When I said price is not a problem well I didn't mean that, that's ridiculous, I won't pay almost 4 times the amount of a product for shipping! :p Is there any other retailer in Europe that might have the product?

EDIT: Found the product in my country, gonna order one any give a review.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Try Amazon - it's cheaper than getting it directly from Spigen and it's probably also available through Amazon in the UK ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Wh00sher:
Sadly after trying a few screen protectors I've given up. The glass ones have all either been unresponsive down the edges or just peeled after a week.

This phone is great, but I just wish the glass was completely flat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaggyskunk:
I don't know... It's not the "perfect" solution - But I've been using the Spigen Tempered Glass - GLAStR for about 6 months and aside from the "halo" on the sides there's Zero loss in touch and Zero scratches - Zero issues with lifting or chipping - So in an imperfect world I'm reasonably happy ?

From what I've seen of the ARC Tempered Glass screen protector for the S8+ it only adheres to the edges and looks to not be very case friendly...

Whitestone Dome has a good concept. Just buy the materials yourself - UV light, LOCA glue, generic protector, etc. That oughta work.
