Okay so I ended up purchasing this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/182061590884

I received it today, here are my thoughts:

1. You can see the dot matrix when the screen protector is on the phone, don't really notice it when the screen is on so it may or may not bother you

2. It fits pretty much edge to edge and works fine with my spigen neo hybrid

3. It is not as smooth as the glass but it does the job

I will use it for a couple of days and update, so far the 5-10 minutes I've used it it hasn't been an issue and I'm fairly happy with only spending $9.

This is a good interim solution if the dot matrix doesn't bother you and it's only $9 until some of the more well known ones come out.

*edit*

Been installed for about 14 hours now and I am starting to notice that sensitivity definetely went down and the edges of the screen require harder presses...this might be due to the case I have on it (Spigen Neo Hybrid).

It does bug me a little bit and I might end up tossing it and trying my luck with an IQ Shield instead.

Better interim and final solution.

I used a $35.00 Boduguardz from the AT&T store until I got my Coral glass, then took the BG back for a full refund.

I ordered and received the Coral protector this week. It arrived in a flimsy envelope, but the protector itself was housed in a fairly sturdy plastic case with a padded sleeve inside, so I'm slightly surprised others have received theirs cracked in the mail. I applied the protector, which was nice and easy to do, but, unless I'm missing something, the protector was definitely not completely clear. It gave my S7 screen a fuzzy, dappled effect, like you get with some cheaper plastic screen protectors, and you could absolutely tell there was another layer on top of the S7 screen. I obviously made sure there wasn't still a protective layer of plastic on it or anything. The overall shape and design of the glass protector was great, but the clarity of the screen was terrible. It also did not adhere to the screen across the whole protector, only at the top and bottom, so there was a rainbow effect in the middle of the screen, which others have mentioned, and that bugged the heck out of me.

Finally, I put on my Obliq slim meta case, which the website clearly states is compatible with the protector, and despite my being very gentle when putting it on, it immediately cracked the corner of the protector. I refuse to pay another $10 for the replacement, since it makes the screen so fuzzy, and have had no communication from the company about the issues I've had. So I guess I'm going to write off the $30 I paid, and stick with my $7 plastic crystal clear screen protector, which doesn't negate the point of having an awesome high def screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] parkgt:
Something wrong with this situation. Mine is crystal clear in appearance, but I did remove the protective film before applying. The Ballistic Tough Jacket has been on it for almost two weeks, in pocket mostly with out cracking or other issues

Hi guys!

My FLIPACASE® tempered glass finnaly arrived, so i'll write a few words...

First of all, the fit is perfect, so are the cut-outs, but the Samsung logo cutout is missing... The instalation is farely easy, as much as it can be - you just need to clean the screen thoroughly and have a steady hand... There are no big touch issues, besides a miss here and there. The glass isa bit thicker than i expected it to be, so my home-button is a bit below than the screen now. Not a problem at all for me - it is actually easier to place ur finger at the right spot now... There is a barely visible dot pattern, but no halo effect of any kind. Oleophobic coating is not so good, fingerprints will be a problem - especially if you have sweaty hands. The adhesive seems to be applied on the whole surfce of the glass. Only thing that is bothering me a bit is the transparency... I should clarify, the glass has a slight white-grayish tint so the black color on the screen now doesn't look so "amoled black" anymore... It's more of a LCD IPS black if you know what i mean. Aside from that, color reproduction is unchanged. I guess that "tint" is a byproduct of the adhesive, but i'm not sure... Here are some images of the pacage and the glass itself, the phone is in Nillkin TPU case btw (shot with Lumia 1520 - srry for the blurred images):

Sure does, i just might order one too. Maybe i'll wait for your review just to be sure :p

Btw, some great photos you got there :good:

Add LaoHe to the unsuccessful partial-coverage protectors

Having come late, that is just now, to the free or discounted products for a review party, I just tried the LaoHe so-called Upgrade Version. I was prepared to live with less than edge-to-edge coverage, pending discovery of one that works, but not, as happened, a significant halo effect and significant gap between the edge of the protector (which does not quite cover even the visible screen area) and the edge of my Otterbox Symmetry case. I rated it two stars, and will leave it on my phone for the time-being, because it's better than nothing, clear and smooth, and doesn't adversely affect the finger-print scanner.

This is the updated TECH ARMOR screen protector that is ballistic EDGE-to-EDGE. According to the Tech Armor site here: http://www.techarmor.com/tech-armor...earest-screen-protector-retail-packaging.html

Dear Raul,

Yes, Amazon has the Tech Armor Edge to Edge Ballistic screen protector for Galaxy S7 in stock. You can purchase directly through Amazon.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] anywho:
I just put this on. The edges aren't curved, but somehow it is covering edge to edge. The adhesive seems to be present on the entire protector. There is no dot-matrix effect on the glass, but it isn't completely clear. Phone is still responsive, and no halo effect. Works well with my Diztronic case. There is a cut-out for Samsung logo.

Actually, I'm not sure if the adhesive is on the entire screen. It could be, it may not be, but screen is still responsive. So far, best part is how anti-fingerprint it is. Hopefully, it stays put in the case, but I just got it so hard to tell at this point.

I recently tried the JETech tempered glass protector. http://www.amazon.de/dp/B01CW5GV5S/

Pro: Curved and edge to edge

Contral: Protector is glued on the borders and does not stick on the screen. Degraded touch sensitivity.

The protector did not stick on my screen and fell of. No chance to use it with a protective case that protects the edges of the screen. I do absolutely not recommend that product.

Hi, when would be available the new producted spigen screen protector on market for s7 edge?

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Here in Turkey, Turkiye spigen always says next week next week will be on market place. How about there in your country?

By the way I tried wrapsol https://wrapsol.com/shop/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge for s7 edge. the edge didn't stick. Was a terrible product. I wasted my money. Suggest you avoid it. Here is my video after applying it https://vid.me/OIDr#1s

I posted impressions of the Tech Armor Ballistic Edge to Edge, and after a full day of use it sucks. Do not buy. There is only adhesive on the black part, like the amFilm one. Over a day of use, it's become a smudge magnet. Impossible to see screen now in direct sunlight. I don 't think it's glass, but some kind of plastic composite. The search continues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] cingulum:
I recently installed Coral Guard screen protector for SGS7 (flat model) with some fears based on some recent reviews in this thread. On the positive side, the screen protector fits nicely over the screen covering all edges. Fortunately it sits flushed with the back cover that I got from a local store. On the flip side there are two big issues. First, the protector has touch sensitivity issues; as reported by many I cannot slide down the notification window in the first go; I need to try 2-3 times or press hard. Second, in addition to dot matrix, my screen now looks all dull similar to a matte screen protector (clearly not 98% transparent as claimed by Coral). This is especially noticeable against white background. I also noticed hazy appearance all over the screen protector when the phone is held at an angle against light. Looks like my worst fears about this protector came true. For a screen protector with outrageous price tag (~ CAD 52), this is a HUGE disappointment. Sadly, I need to hold on to this until someone comes up with a proper screen protector.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] ebayusuff:
Here in Turkiye spigen.tr says the first produced screen protector was defective. The new one will be on sale next week (in fact said the week before then, this week, still not on sale). Which one you have tried? The old produced or the new one? And how we can separate them?

They only attach on the black parts.

At the same time the touch sensitive is bad on the edges and especially when typing on keyboard.

Have ordered this one now and hoping it's better

Just giving a review of the Spartan Tempered Glass screen protector by XtremeGuard.

Free shipping to the US and a combination of sales pretty much always going on makes this an alright screen protector. I paid $6 for two glass screen protectors.

It comes with a microfiber cloth, a dry and wet wipe, and a plastic squeegee. The glass only has a plastic protector on the sticky side, none on the side facing up. Nothing in the packaging to help you install it, so I use tape to make a hinge, to make sure it goes where I want it to. Unfortunately, that method has made this screen protector a bit off centered but whatever, it's a temporary one until I find one that's good.

The screen protector doesn't go fit the whole screen, there's a gap. It doesn't say this anywhere on the site, so I'm a bit peeved. The edges won't adhere down but I don't know if that's my fault or not. It has this rainbowing effect at the edges of the screen protector. It's fairly thick too, thicker than my home button. Cutouts are fine.

But due to the gap, it makes it really hard to swipe from edges since the gap is between my Spigen Ultra Hybrid (which has a lip) and the screen protector so my thumb doesn't reach in between very well. And my sensitivity has gone down a little bit so I need to press a little harder than normal to get the press actually registered. It's affected my typing a bit but it's not terrible. Clarity is what'd you expect from a glass screen protector.

Any questions? Feel free to ask me.

I'll take some pictures later.

I also installed my Spartan protector today. I was shocked at the side gaps! I thought they sent me the wrong protector. Turns out a lot of S7 tempered glass protectors are like this. Oh well, it was cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xDark_:
How are your edges adhering? Mine just aren't at all and they're attracting loads of dust.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Kemby13:
Hmm, that one (from the link) looks good but i fear it's not edge-to-edge, at least its not specified....

The same thing could be said for my Flipacase tempered glass. It's very dissapointing we can't have one good product for our flagship phoned, bur at the same time we have a **** load of bad products which are way more expensive than they should be.. I guess we'll have to wait for Nillkin and Spigen to make a glass worthy of our phones...

Edit:

Has anyone tryed this Apex made glass?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] nlundsten:
The bodyguardz one is offered in the ATT stores here for roughly $30..

I let the sales rep install it, he insisted the edges would stick after 24 hours, I'm not sure if he was misinformed, or just blowing smoke for the sake of a sale, but as its glass on glass, if it was going to stick, it would have done so immediately.

Same halo that most the other brands suffer from, cant recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] BlaineMono:
A quick summary of my experience with the Coral Full Screen protector: (SKU CO-098, the black one).

Good ones:

1. Ordered before it went to backorder, on March 24

2. Got it on April 8 (less than 3 weeks of delivery is perfectly normal for an item to get from the US to Israel)

3. The packaging could've been better - it was shipped using regular padded envelope, in my case the plastic casing containing the protector probably took a hit - luckily, the protector itself was not damaged.

4. The application was flawless - no bubbles, non-sticking edges, etc... All the holes are a perfect match, as well as the cutouts for the touch buttons. I was, however, surprised to discover (it is not stated anywhere) that this protector is using an adhesive placed on it's perimeter to attach itself on the phone - unlike any "regular" screen protectors I've used before. You can see it in the Youtube videos on Coral's website - when the protector is attached, there is no "spreading bubble" effect like you have on regular glass screen protectors.

From this point on, the bad ones begin:

1. The lower part of the protector (where the buttons are) made a clicking sound each time one of the buttons was pressed.

2. The top and edge sides of the protector caused a noticeable touch sensitivity degradation (i was able to pull the notification panel only from the 3-4th time, the same experience when the phone was in landscape mode); key presses were not recognized on the first time, etc..

3. The protector adds a tint to the screen - when looking from the side, the screen has a chrome-black tint clearly visible.

Tried using the protector as is for the last week and a half, and then decided to play some games on the phone.

As we all know, the S7 get pretty hot when games and full brightness applied. After ~30 minutes, I noticed the phone became too hot, closed the game and let it alone to cool down.

When I came back, the following happened:

- The screen protector detached itself from the screen

- One of the edges of the protector had some sort of bubble

inside

of it.

So I disassembled the protector and noticed it has actually split itself to two pieces. Tried to separate it more and discovered, that actually this screen protector has 2(!) layers of protection, but it also means there are two layers between your finger and an actual screen:

* The first layer is a plastic film that has the black/white/pearl color and cutouts for the buttons/camera/sensor. This is also the layer that has adhesive on it to attach the protector to the phone. This layer also goes over the screen and not only in the perimeter areas

* The second layer is an actual glass which has no paint/glue/whatever on it.

This partially explains the issues I had with touch sensitivity/screen tint and so on - two layers, glue between them, and a plastic film instead of glass-only is not the best combination to get a 100% transparent protector.

See pictures attached for better understanding of what I am talking about...

Damn, I might have to get a replacement. I've had such terrible luck when it comes to S7 accessories :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] waggoner5:
I purchased the Tech Armor Ballistic Edge to Edge and the screen is not all that clear, fingerprints are a disaster, and it doesn't fit with my Spigen thin case. The case causes the edges to lift and since the edges are the only place with adhesive, it simply doesn't work. The glass does come all the way over to the edges and without a case fits well, but the non clear glass and the fingerprint issue is too much for me. The quest is still on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] waingro808:
Try the regular Xtremeguard wet install protector. Mine came out almost perfect and goes down to the edges. I don't use a case, but if you do, it'll probably lift up the edges of the protector. The fact that the S7 is waterproof makes the wet install WAY easier!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
The new amFilm screen protectors fixes all issues the previous one had, dots are still there; but less noticeable. The adhesive is stronger and best of all fits will ALL my cases now. Doesn't lift around the edges now
