I just put one of these on my phone last week. Went on perfectly and no bubbles or imperfections. I have used glass protectors on many other phones and this one seems as good as any I have used in the past. Too bad it took a year to get one that fits correctly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Pruikki:
Fellas! i found solution!

order from ebay those 0,70-1,20 screen protectors for AXON 7 MINI

it fits my A7 very well!

smaller gap than on the A7 screen protectors, its better. So try A7 Mini screen protector on A7!

Since i have both!
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] :
Link?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Teet1:
So after a while using this screen protector, it has been doing me good. But now I've noticed that I started to get dust collecting under the screen protector. It definitely wasn't there before. I see it collecting under the glass on the home capacitive button and a large patch of dust on the top right of my screen. I wonder if this is happening to others
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] FunkyRasta:
Mind showing us some pictures? A7 Mini has smaller screen so how does it fit?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Eiion:
I had accidentally ordered a tempered glass screen protector for the Axon 7 mini (instead one for the regular non-mini) a while back and that isn't even close to fitting the A7's screen. There's an at least 5 mm gap on all the sides.

So, as others have already asked for: Could you please provide a link as well as pictures of it on your phone? Without I can only recommend not to follow your advice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Pruikki:
Yes, ill post a picture how it is. ill just find my old phone to take a picture with.

ill have it here today
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] celoxocis:
I noticed in the pictures that your speaker holes are filled with smut/dirt. I had that problem because I use my axon7 mainly for gaming and holding it in landscape mode.

here is what I used to clean it and it works perfectly!

use your electric teeth brush. of course make sure you use a head that is dry. (and you might want to use a used one).

turn the electric tooth brush on and clean the holes with the tiny brushes. they are perfect in size to get into the holes. apply light pressure with circling motion and keep brushing. you won't destroy the speaker's or anything. the dirt will get lose during the vibrations and you can simply blow it out.

mine looked like new after that process.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Eiion:
Ok, while this seems indeed bigger than the one I have this is - generally spoken - not a good fit. Still better than nothing, I guess.

And you don't push the dirt into the speaker during the process?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] celoxocis:
no I feared that too but it turns out you don't. it actually comes out. if you look at the dissemble videos you will see it can't actually fall through there is something preventing it from doing so.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] thefiqs:
This one is horrible. Way to big. After a Illumi Aquashield wet, thought give this one a try. Will bin it if the AS is arriving.

Yo bois I found a fix for those cheapo tempered glass screen protectors from aliexpress that leave big ass halos.

Well to get rid of those halos you can use olive oil on a cotton swab to fill in the air gap (I know it sounds weird but it works amazingly well) and/OR if there are places where the air won't go away, apply slight pressure on that place with a soldering iron on hottest setting. GENTLY AND NOT FOR TOO LONG otherwise you might screw up your device, you might wanna try it on a broken screen protector to test it first. It kind of makes the plastic under the tempered glass bend to the shape of the curved glass of the Axon 7.

Works and looks so perfect, it looks just like it should look like! Finally those cheapo tempered glass protectors are worth it lol! Only thing kinda missing is that there's no oleophobic coating but whatever can't always have everything in this life
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] brian117:
Sorry it took so long to reply to this. Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. I noticed that too but figured every Axon 7 is prone to it. I don't own an electric toothbrush so maybe I can use a regular one and just do circular motions with that. I was afraid of using air in a can as it might just push the dirt/dust further into the speakers/grill.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] GaTTo0:
then how to avoid the d2,5 edges problem?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] vulcano11:
the front speaker holds ambient and proximity sensors or not? if yes, than be careful not to damage them
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] burnsy1:
Yep, this is happening to me as well. Dust is sneaking in behind somehow. To get it out... you have to prop the shield off and carefully wipe out the dust, almost like installing all over again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] emepher:
Although no oleophobic coating is mentioned, mine seems to reject finger prints much better than non-glass protectors and at least as well as the stock screen. Not perfect, but good, and wipes off easily.

As for the oil trick, nice idea! I'm not too concerned about the halo, since I only notice it in certain lighting and with the screen off. I'd try some oil but I'm concerned that our phones don't have even an IP54 rating, let alone something like the IP68 that the new Samsung's can claim. I don't want oil migrating inside or soaking into anything and causing damage, though I admit this may not I have no idea how problematic or realistic that is.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] vulcano11:
Simply just use thinest screen protector that can wrap around glass corners. Othet thick screen protectors will leave a sides overhang or you need smaller protector and leave sides exposed.

Or use something like this, but i think that this protector will not cover curved sides

I had no luck with the Supershieldz tempered glass. While fitment is excellent, the oily looking rainbow blotch in the middle of the screen ruins it for me. It appeared on the first install and refused to go away. The rainbow thingy would move with my finger, settling back to the middle. I removed the protector, cleaned and reapplied numerous times. The rainbow bubble always reappears in the middle. I scrapped the first screen protector and gave the second one a try. Same damned thing. A shame because I loved the look and feel.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Teet1:
IT seems it is a downside with tempered glass screen protectors that are curved or for curved screens. I've seen some galaxy s8/note 8 screen protectors that get that bubble in the middle. I have it as well unfortunately

Just installed the Illumi Aquashield. Getting it to stick to the edges and fit everywhere was quite a headache. The fit is very good though. It looks great. After 13 hours, the feel is very plasticky to the touch, worse than the crappiest of plastic screen protectors (which I was using until now)
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] kitcostantino:
i think im gonna try this Dooqi. Lol. My skinomi is peeling up on the edges where the sides of my speigen case are. i'll roll the dice on that Dooqi for (2) for $7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] emepher:
Sorry, I have nothing to add and wouldn't normally do this, but the name Dooqi is just too hilarious, for some Americans. I literally had to reread your post to see if that was in fact a brand name or you were censoring yourself while saying "i'm gonna try this shiz" and "that shiz" (self-censoring my t's with z's). LOL.

Relevant comment: I'm still using the Supershieldz protector from Amazon. there were questions about it being glass, but I cracked one and it sure looked like glass then. There is a little of that rainbow/halo effect due to the lack of adhesion in the center but I rarely notice it. Edge fitment is fine with a Proworx TPU/polycarb case. Not perfect, but best I've tried. Pretty scratch-resistant and not too smudgy.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] gifgof:
just installed Supershieldz from Amazon, it work flawlessly on my axon 7, no bubbles, no halo, no rainbow effect, and I have a spare in case for emergency :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] kitcostantino:
Yup, myself included. its not often i try a product bc its name is horrible and price is cheap, but ill have 2 of them on Monday. lol

update, the first one pulled the paint off of my speaker grills when i took it off. im okay with that considering i want black speaker grills.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] klymchuk:
Does it full adhesive tempered glass ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] kitcostantino:
no. the bottom and top have adhesive under the black outer paint. there is a very thin strip of glue that runs the edges of the screen. overall, its kind of junky. the SP made a tapping noise while i was using it bc it wasnt adhered well. i still have one left that i wont use on either of my axon 7, one of which has no screen protector if that tells ya anything. peeled down to the plastic which is black, on the lower speaker grill.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] deluxxx:
Got the Skinomi one last week, it fits perfectly. Even the rounded edges are covered now. Only problem is - US only. I had to import mine to Europe which costs 14§ (Screen Protector cost is 9$ :silly: )
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] DrakenFX:
I really don't know for how long you been tracking Axon 7 updates but ZTE is been pretty active with updates on the AXON 7 since release date.

The A2017G is about to get his 2nd update same with with A2017U (both been release 1 1/2 month ago or so),

The Chinese variant (A2017) is getting his 10th update (make sense for been release longer than others two)

So I really don't call that " doesn't update", just sating
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] CommSoft8086:
If you want to compel a decent manufacturer to make an Axon 7 skin, upvote and/or comment at BestSkinsEver's new product forum. I've always had good luck with their fit for both complete coverage, as well as "case optimized" cuts:

I've tried the black boarder screen protector on Amazon that has 5 stars. Don't waste your time. Lasted about 2 hours. No glue in the middle, only on the boarders that don't touch the curved edges all the way. You feel the sharp edge of the protector every time you touch he edge of the screen, rainbows everywhere, dust and lint under the edges of the protector, and gets caught on your pocket when you put your phone away. Completely worthless, do not buy.

I've given up on finding a decent protector for this phone. The curved edges make it really tough. And it seems like ZTE offers a very generous warranty as far as broken screens go, so I'm not going to sweat it. As the kids say, "yolo"
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Oogar:
Skinomi and IQ Shield are literally the same product. Same shipping package and size packaging, same contents, exact same size and feel to the screen protector, etc. Same product just labeled differently.

It's a wet installation but by far the best screen protector IMO (so far). As long as you're gentle with the installation and know your way around a wet install it works wonders. Perfect fit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] TeutonJon78:
The one that comes with it is actually pretty good -- it's the right size, but unfortunately, I haven't seen anywhere to buy an additional one, and it's still the film kind and not tempered glass.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Gryphticon:
Damn, I've scratched my screen protector that came with the phone and I'm stuck waiting for a good tempered glass screen protector to get released...

What I hate about plastic screen protectors is that they don't feel as smooth as glass and have the tendency to have a rainbow effect when grease or any body oil gets on it. If a good quality plastic screen protector doesn't have that issue (which is by the way present on the free included screen protector) then I'd be alot more open to buying it.

I'm waiting for my xtreme guard protector to come in the mail... saw a deal for 92% off the entire store on SlickDeals. Doesn't look like anyone else has tried this one yet so I'll post my thoughts/pics once it comes in. The included screen protector has scratched badly somehow...

For those who have received a skin from Skinomi, are you talking about the MatteSkin or TechSkin? What are the differences and which do you recommend?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] jonathan3579:
Is that sale still going? I'd be willing to give it a try, if so.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] CommSoft8086:
Yes it is. I figured for the price, it'd be worth a shot (I'm partial to the wet application ones).

You need to order two items for the code to work. It's: SUPER92

I ordered a full body and an additional screen protector for a whopping total of $1.68 :D

Thanks for the link and code, I just ordered a set myself!
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] stevenkelby:
I tried a couple glass protectors but didn't love the poor fit. Also had the skinomi techskin which is great, perfect fit, but still it's a soft film.

I've tried literally every available screen protector for the LG g3 and the nexus 6p (cases too) and the best compromise in my options is the Rhinoshield from Evolutive Labs.

Unfortunately they won't be making one for the Axon 7, no matter how much I beg.

So, I bought the Rhinoshield for the nexus 6 which is only $10 as its an old phone, and cut it down myself using the skinomi as a template.

It's a bit of a hassle but the perfect solution for me.

Tech skin
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Catalana:
Well, I am still using the original screen protector that came installed on the phone, but after a little more than a week, it is showing signs of wear. I still have the other one supplied available for use. I personally don't like glass protectors and will opt for some plastic ones. The screen size that needs covering is a bit longer than the average 5.5" category, so I did a bit of research and will try out the screen protector cut for a Sony Xperia C5. I'll have to cut a bit from either the top or bottom, and possibly the side, but a good sharp blade and metal straight edge will do the trick. This is XDA after all :)

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] GTFO!:
The pre-installed plastic film isn't a screen protector. Use the one that comes with the package it is better but not great. It will do till new ones come out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] xxBrun0xx:
Cutting plastic ones is fine, but if anyone is thinking they can do this with glass protectors, don't. Glass protectors all have chambers on the edges so you don't cut your fingers on them. Hopefully this saves a finger or 2!
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] 0gati:
That plastic film is not a protector! It will not protect the phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Catalana:
Funny how perception differs. As far as I am concerned, the original plastic film covers the glass screen almost 100%, and I made use of it for close to 2 weeks. There have been no bubbles and separation/peeling issues. As I have stated, the film is showing signs of wear, but the underlying glass screen is pristine. I consider that 'screen protection', albeit cheap and inadequate for the long term. During use I am experiencing full functionality while scrolling, tapping and sliding fingers over the screen and decent transparency for viewing the screen. My experience with "real screen protectors" has been quite similar.

"Screen protectors" come in various types of composition and as long as they prevent finger prints, smudges and scratches on the actual screen glass I am happy. I do not ask for more than that. In my opinion, they are not there to protect the phone as a whole. That is what cases and reasonable care in handling are for. Hey, I am maximizing what has been supplied with the phone while I am searching for accessories that fit the phone correctly. There are not to many available on the market. I prefer Diztronic cases, but are not yet available, if ever. Same with most of the ill-fitting plastic films offered so far. YMMV :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
Thanks for the tip. Placed an order, will compare with the skinomi once everything arrives.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] asianpianoman:
UPDATE: I have received screen protectors from Xtreme Guard. I have the wet install one. Even though it's not tempered glass, I couldn't get the plastic to wrap around the curved edge so there's a slight halo effect. Overall, the quality is better than the included protector, but I definitely am still waiting for a tempered glass option. This plastic film is still a fingerprint magnet.

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] amus76:
Just a little review:

A long time ago, I used Vikiuiti 3M for my Nexus 4 and 5, so i ordered one for the Axon 7...

It's sh*tty as f*ck: no cut for sensors, but the real problem is it's too tiny for the screen: it ends at 0.3 cm from both edge and not the black part, actually the active screen

And even worse, it doesn't stick well at the top and the bottom so you have a halo

Don't waste 12€

I'm surprised the cutout for light sensor is only on one side, our phone has a light sensor on both sides. Probably not a deal breaker if it actually fit, though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
Don't bother, it's as bad as it's cheap. Not wide enough, not tall enough and doesn't adhere properly to the corner edges.

No, the light and proximity sensors are on the top right only. The top left only contains the led so it doesn't need a cutout.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] asianpianoman:
I apologize but I don't have a decent camera besides my Axon. I couldn't get the wet install right so the edges and corners are already stuck with pocket lint. I ordered a few more because they're so dang cheap and will attempt another wet install. Getting the edges to stick is really tricky.

Besides that, how does this look? http://www.mobilefun.com/61181-olixar-zte-axon-7-tempered-glass-screen-protector.htm

It currently says it will come in 2-3 weeks and this is probably naive but a $15 price tag sounds promising for an exact fit. Thoughts, anyone?

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
Just ordered it. Will report in a few weeks. Also got the extreme guard ones i ordered. They were laughably cheap and immediately went into the trash. The edges were rough and not a straight line to be found.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] asianpianoman:
Did you buy the wet install or dry install? The dry install went straight to the trash for me too, and I have yet to do a proper wet install. I bought a bunch of them because they're so cheap so I'm going to keep trying! I have three more. I keep getting dust trapped underneath and can't get the edges to stick.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
I bought both. Neither were straight enough to even try. I have a skinomi tech skin laying around I still need to install which looks pretty good but I'm waiting to the factory one to start peeling first.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] TeutonJon78:
Dust is easy to fix -- just use some tape to lift up an edge and then another piece of tape to grab the dust out. It takes awhile and some patience, but it's doable.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] jlomein:
Has anyone tried looking at tempered glass protectors for other models of phones that have near exact screen dimensions as the Axon 7? Getting desperate here trying to find one without haloing. Would gladly accept one that doesn't cover the whole screen, but at least doesn't halo.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
The axon has tempered screen protector that doesn't fit. No need to go see to other phones dimensions. The issue is covering the curved edge.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] xxBrun0xx:
What we really need is for a company to make a protector with slightly curved edges. If the galaxy s7 edge can have tempered screen protectors without haloing (and they do), it's certainly possible. Just have to convince a company it's worth the investment.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] jlomein:
Hi, do you know which tempered glass protectors for the Axon 7 don't halo?

AFAIK they all halo as they're all too wide, except the Topgun which doesn't stay on longer than a day.
