So kinda confused unless I'm navigating this wrongly on my tablet. Why there is two threads ? Anywho. I see there's two threads about edge to edge but does anyone know of a brand that works with otter box commuter ? I had exchange my phone so I lost one came wth commuter. I'm basically looking for glass preferred but amount money I have wasted on glass I'll take anything. The one from Verizon was not glass imo, had gadget guards hated way cut so far from the edge, got a pure gear covers little more. But as of right now jus wanted something protect my screen. Sorry if this post is in wrong place I been iPhone user since 5 so been long time even since been on this site please forgive if I'm in wrong spot.

Rokform Galaxy S7 Tempered Glass

So I think Rokform just released their Tempered Glass for the S7. Has anyone tried it?

Can't afford to buy one to see for myself this at the moment. Waiting for info from them.

Does anyone go without a protector? I've been reading about the screen qualities and some people just go without these days and I'm tempted to go naked with the protectors being so crap
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Huey85:
OK so I finally got my Ultimate Shield delivered here to Australia, not bad timing considering it was free international shipping.

Anyways, I just installed it today - was a breeze, but I did make sure I took my time to clean the device thoroughly prior to installing. Installed and made sure to secure the adhesive parts (sides, top and bottom) by pressing and smoothing out firmly. Because I use a case (Ringke Fusion Crystal), I let the phone sit for about an hour so the adhesives could settle properly prior to putting the case back on. I must say, the sensitivity with the Ultimate Shield is top notch, compared to other full-screen edge-to-edge tempered glass screen protectors I've used in the past. No longer do I have to really press down around the edges (where the adhesives are). Pressing the spacebar on the keyboard, sliding down the notification tray and pressing the enter key on the keyboard are no longer an issue. Thanks to whoever it was that first suggested this screen protector.

Only negative I've found so far is the abundance of dot-matrix seems to be much more than others, but it's only noticeable when the screen is off. I don't mind this trade-off for having 99% touchscreen sensitivity with an edge-to-edge screen protector.

Ultimate Shield + Ringke Fusion = my ideal screen protector + case setup. Highly recommended.

Is it a dot matrix screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Huey85:
Clearly did not read previous posts.. yes. It is dot matrix
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Patlcs:
Sorry mate.. did not pay attention. Don't be mad

Not mad, just check next time if previously discussed. :)

Funny, I have seen your pictures and you apparently have a different version of the ultimate shield screen protector. Mine has no rounded cutout for the samsung logo on the top and my screenprotector has matrix dot but it is practically invisible, even when turned off or in direct sunlight. The sensitivity issues around the edges seem to be fixed in your version. I still need to press a bit more on the edges to get it to work.

I would really appreciate it if this kind of (known) vendors would put a versionnumber on their screenprotectors. That would help us a lot in determining which is better.

Anyone tried the iloome screenmate 3Dmax?

I know that iloome is a good brand
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Kazafog:
May be your s7 is at fault......mine and many others appear to be

I continually get missed touches and I am not alone. I have tried a few different protectors now, glass and plastic and I personally think it is the logo that is the problem......YES SAMSUNG has sold some of us rubbish.

Check google people are having problems everywhere with this inferior crap
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] BobLC:
Hi guys,

Just my 2 cents about the amFilm Cover Screen, and I have to say that it is not a good option :(

- no more sensibility in both sides : unable to open the taskbar menu when in land mode, realy difficult to write text whitout mistakes (letters on the sides are not responsive)

- oleophobic ? Not at all, worse than the original screen

- dot matrix and 'click' effet still present.

Really disappointed about this one... Still looking for a better option, any tips is welcome :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Tomiie:
Finally!! Been using the stupid plastic protectors since Day 1. I'm quite OCD. They have been bugging me due to all the scratches on them. I took the chance and bought the ultimate shield. I'll give a thumbs up for it!!

There is absolutely no loss of sensitivity. A slight hint of haze. Really slight. A hint of tapping sounds too, again really faint. Regardless, it is way better than the plastic ones with all the scratches. Most importantly, the oleophobic coating is awesome. Smooth glide! They didn't have gold though. I had to settle for black. I don't think it would survive a drop face down though.

Not 10/10 but still better than plastic!

Happy days! :)

Ultimate Shield

It is by far one of the few best tempered glass products for S7 and works with most of phone cases, but there're few "flaws":

- It doesn't adhere to the screen

- Very hard to get button lights aligned correctly

- It doesn't produce tapping sounds but I do believe it exists, because you can feel still a space between the screen protector and phone's screen

- Haven't tried to peel it off and reapply, but suspect there'll be residue because it's non-adherence screen protector.

- It flat and unbendable glass, so you can imagine gap or invisible bubble under black/white area.

- It does have "a slight hint of haze" although I don't really mind it. I'll have to find chance to test it under strong sunlight.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Huey85:
Can also vouch for Ultimate Shield. Really glad I bit the bullet and tried it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Tomiie:
I got the rainbow effect today though. However, I think it was due to the cold air. The moment I stepped out in the sun, the rainbow thing disappeared. Anyway, when I got home, I lifted a tiny bit on the side to force as much as air out as possible. I'll update again if it reappears. The screen protector is barely 24 hours old.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Tiim:
Purchased the Ultimate Shield based on reviews in this thread, should arrive here next week.

Previously tried the Spigen GlastR, which doesn't stick to the edges and is therefore de facto useless. I hope I can get a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] davidmlondon:
Thinking about getting an Ultimate Shield screen protector. Seems to be the best of a bad bunch (amazing that no one has come out with a perfect full screen protector for this phone yet). Has anyone tried one with a Spigen Tough Armour case? Also, for those of you have been using this protector for a while, are you having any problems with it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] kreizyidiot:
Alright guys... so I have been using my Ultimate Shield protector for about 4 days now... Here's my little review.

Fit: it fits perfectly, all of the holes and edges aligned well. I am glad this isn't a curve protector, it's pretty much a flat glass cover.

Feel: It's smooth, not as smooth as the original surface, but pretty darn close to it.

Sensitivity: So far so good, I haven't noticed much sensitivity issues... maybe <5%?

Cleaning: This is the only problem. Like many screen protector for the s7, this only has sticky edges on all of the sides, and some of the sides aren't really fully "sticking." The screen protector stays on well and doesn't lift up. However, I'm a germ freak and clean my phone with alcohol swabs very frequently since I work at the hospital...and I have noticed that the alcohol is getting between the screen and the protector.... Sensitivity has gone down since....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] doctorow:
Just got the Ultimate Shield for my S7.

The good: Easy to attach, fits well.

The bad: Sensitivity. Perhaps I got a bad one? - but sensitivity suffers quite noticably with the Ultimate Shield on. While before the screen was super-sensitive, now it frequently requires a couple of swipes before recognizing my input. I am considering taking it off again because of this. :(

No doubt a hard glass causes some sensitivity to get lost, but this is more than I expected. I also have an iPhone 6 Plus with an Anker tempered glass protector with 9H hardness, and in that case the screen remains super-responsive unlike with this Ultimate Shield protector.

Back to square one trying to find a decent glass protector for my S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] nashy10:
Just ordered the ultimate shield. Am I correct in assuming I won't be able to shower with my phone anymore? Worried about water getting trapped between screen and protector
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] wmandel56:
BEST tempered glass screen protector I've ever used.

i just bought about 6 different tempered glass and liquid screen protectors. And I found one to be amazing! it covers everything on the front of the S7. it even has the Samsung logo on it. looks amazing. I am using it with otterbox symmetry case. got it on ebay for

$7.99 heres the link:

Hope this works well for you, the reviews don't seem very good.

Negative past month: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...ch=negative&interval=30&_trkparms=negative_30

Neutral past month: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...hich=neutral&interval=30&_trkparms=neutral_30

For comparison look at the reviews for the Ultimate Shield on Ebay(I bought through their website since it was a few bucks cheaper)

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...ch=positive&interval=30&_trkparms=positive_30

I have had the Ultimate Shield for over 2 weeks with a UAG case. This is a tight fit and I was slightly off to the right side, the case on the left side has pushed a small bit of the edge of the protector up as this case is a very snug fit. Sensitivity is better than the other 2 glass screen protectors and about on par with glass screen protectors I've had on other phones. I was cooking and had a small spice bottle fall about 2 feet and just catch the phone up by the upper speaker and the protector has a crack there, not enough to bother me to replace the protector but when I do I will be buying another Ultimate Shield....and hope to get the alignment perfect this time.

S7 scrren protector

The reviewer probably didnt put it on right. I had the people at the AT&T store put it on for me and it fits and stays perfectly. I am using the otterbox symettry case and no problems with it and the case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
That's certainly possible but there are lots of people complaining about the protector. I do think some cases can help if the lip comes over the edge a little higher/further. It looks like your Symmetry case wraps over a little further than the UAG case does.

This one here may not be tempered glass, but it does say it's glass and that it has full edge to edge. There are pics so you can confirm and not trust paid reviewers. LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] halo0:
It says it is "glass-like". It is not glass. Also, when is Amazon going to ban this ridiculous practice??? "I received this product for free in exchange in my honest and unbiased opinion."
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] shaxs:
I got the KingsWolf ones. Same as the others. Do not cover the whole front glass, let alone the actual screen part of the front glass area. Bummer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] ElBeaner:
Whenever you see bubble free - that usually means no adhesive on the screen part and it will ahve a dot matrix display on it - but for under $8 I'm debating getting a set to try.

To the people who has tempered glass and the clear view cover. May I ask, does the s-view rest firmly on the phone? I haven't received my s7 yet and am planning to buy both accessories but I wanna know first if the s-view cover will rest firmly to the phone when the screen has a thicker screen protector.

Edit: disregard, these aren't tempered glass

Been struggling to find a Tempered Glass Screen protector on Amazon that has a 5 star average rating. After a lot of digging I found Plesson and Yootech, which both offer lifetime warranties. I've heard good things about them, so I might order one. They claim edge to edge

If you look at the Q&A for the techarmor glass http://www.amazon.com/S7-Protector-protector-Bubble-Free-Shield-Lifetime/product-reviews/B01B4BRP74/, the company rep answered saying they're coming out with a curved glass edge to edge version around early April http://www.techarmor.com/tech-armor-samsung-galaxy-s7-premium-3d-white-ballistic-glass-screen-protector-world-s-clearest-screen-protector-retail-packaging.html

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Corwinder:
At least film ones that work seem to be coming out but lol that wouldn't be as hard to produce as glass. I originally bought these Illumi Aquashield film ones. They didn't line up right and were trash that's why there are so many bad reviews. Got an email from the company that makes them and they said they were redesigning them and would send replacements out to everyone that ordered. Got a 3 pack and they fit a lot better. Guess this will do until I find a good full screen glass one. I hope Techarmor and Zagg realize the first one that comes out with a gone one is gonna sell a hell of a lot of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] lunzi88:
I finally found one that works for me.

First look at the screen protector.

After application. Note that there's no halo effect!

Close ups of the corners. Can see that it doesnt goes all the way down, but there's maybe just 1mm of uncovered area left.

Top cut outs. Its not 100% perfectly aligned, but doesn't affect functionality. But for those OCD types you might want to take note of this. (After realignment, the top cut out is much better, but the slot for the proximity sensor area is still somewhat narrow. Again, this does not affects functionality. Wave to wake is still working as is screen dimming during calls.

Bottom. (Alignment of the screen protector is a B1tch. But eventually managed to align the capacitive buttons properly. It's a real pain when you try to align it and the stupid buttons keep fading out within 2 seconds)

So far quite happy with my purchase. Touch sensitivity is slightly degraded, but still excellent, no issue with sywping :D however, the home button does take a little getting use to as it's now a little sunken in, but fingerprint reading operations is still working perfectly.

Link to the screen protector here.

All these items been purchased from amazon and used for at least two weeks each, all LINK's are from Amazon,com

This one covers entire screen but the quality sucks, dirt gets around home button after a couple weeks of use started to not stick and sticking sound coming from glass cover LINK

This one is nice but it's too small around the edges, sticks good, but side lines of cover the sides of screen, it;s hard to click check boxes the the edge of screen LINK

Cheap junk, my first screen protector, scratches up very easy LINK

So far the best one of all, very nice quality and fit's perfectly LINK
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] BobLC:
Hi,

Just received and installed the Ultimate Shield screen protector based on your recommandation:

- Way better than the amFilm for the sensibility on the sides :)

- Better design on the sides (2.5D curve)

- Fits perfectly

- Better on oleophobic part, but sure they can do better...

- Got 2 pick points on the protector (some defaults in the regularity of the glass, a little bit annoying but I can live with that)

- dot matrix and 'click' effet still present.

Between the amFilm and Ultimate Shield, I definitely vote for the Ultimate :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] GrandMasterPlank:
I've also just installed the Ultimate Shield to the S7. It's by far the best tempered glass protector I've bought for the S7 (tried three others from Amazon). In terms of it fitting the screen contours it's excellent and actually smooths out the hateful 2.5D glass giving a slightly flatter screen (sorry but I loved the totally flat screen of the S5, 2.5D is a PITA, hence this exhaustive thread). As far as cutouts goes it's about 98% accurate but I'm a designer so fractions of a mm annoy me, but this almost perfect.

If I can offer some advice when installing it's this:

- clean the screen as suggested

- Install Galaxy Button Lights 2 from Google Play as this allows the capacitive lights to stay permanently illuminated (coupled with screen timeout) when your installing the protector.

- install the protector from the bottom upwards, firstly matching up the 'cutouts' on the protector with the illuminated capacitive buttons.

- work upwards and align the cutouts with the sensor and logo etc.

Should then be good to go. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] BobLC:
Hummm... 2 days and my screen protector is broken :((

Can anyone comment on this one? about its touch sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Revontheus:
People should just accept the fact that aside from Coral's Tempered Glass there's no other tempered glass for the S7 that fits the sides and has good scratch resistance etc. I suggest using a protective film, IQ Shield or Armorsuit are really easy to install since its a wet install, the protector is very easy to adjust.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
Are there any positive reviews for the Coral protector? I've seen a bunch stating that it wasn't sticking to the edges of the screen well.

To me it seems the Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass gets the best reviews, especially reading the last few pages of this thread as these are those installing them recently.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Revontheus:
Compared to other tempered glass for the S7, it has full coverage and it stays put on the edges, which happens to be the problem with MOST of the screen protectors for the S7 ( not sticking to the edges ). I personally use it on my other devices but atm I'm using IQ Shield's case friendly film.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Tiim:
Just installed the Ultimate Shield. I had high hopes, but at this point, I'm disappointed. Installation went as smoothly as can be expected, but I find that the protector doesn't adhere properly to the front of the device. I had heard of this tapping effect, but it's actually worse when moving closer to the edges and on the capacitive buttons. Maybe the glue needs time to properly attach the protector to the device, but it's likely that I'll remove the glass and simply go with a plastic protector again.

Update:

Also found that the glass smudges easily and that the protector is not compatible with my Spigen Slim Armor case. I've already ordered my plastic screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] lexluthor:

Where are you all buying ultimate shield from? Only option is to buy shipped from UK?

http://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protector/

Is "maximum protection" the one that covers the whole screen?

Also, after I waited a bit, I got a popup with a 10% off coupon, code SAVE104U

How long does it take to get from UK to US?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
They sell through Ebay as well but it's a few bucks more plus no 10% off. Mine took about 10 days to NJ.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] lexluthor:
Yes, but still ships from UK, so not sure why I'd order through ebay. Sounds like I should get one of these on order.

My S7 is due to be delivered in the next 3 hours :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] GrandMasterPlank:
I'm in the UK so got it next day. My guess would be 4-5 days on snail mail, 2-3 on express.

Have you used a Coral Tempered Glass on your S7 or just other phones? I just haven't seen any positive reviews on the Coral on a S7, the ones I see complain about the edges lifting.
