I bought one a few days ago.. It fits better than all the others I've tried.. I'm satisfied.. But there is a fair amount left unprotected.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/311704121661
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
Looks like the edges are not stuck down.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MrWilsonxD:
I should have included "it's better then the others.. But that doesn't mean a whole lot compared to my note 4/nexus 6p tgsp...tgsp just suck for AXON right now :(

I slide the one in and out of my pocket all the time anddddd it hasn't come lose yet..
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
Looks like I will have to go for a standard one not a tgsp.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MrWilsonxD:
Yeah.. I think the little halo is worth it for the protection it gives your phone...

The standard plastic ones will look and feel WAY better though..
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] SirLaughsalot:
Look like it will do a good job for the most part, but man. Them edges :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MrWilsonxD:
Exactly T__T

That's the thing that sucks about it.. I've gotten Little used to it.. I notice it when I'm playing games.. But outside that, not much.

Seeing all the cracked screens around campus and in the wild makes me fell that the discomfort is worth it until somebody makes a good one..

Does anyone buy this screen protector?? It seem like peefect fit for axon 7
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] SirLaughsalot:
Yes. A few posts earlier. Not a perfect fit, but is better than the rest.... so far...
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] cho9736:
Gonna wait for the perfect fit then;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] SirLaughsalot:
Looks like it will be a long wait my friend... This phone is being overshadowed by the OnePlus 3 hype. No demand, so no good companies make cases/screen protectors for it :(

I bought this one and it has a halo around the edges. Plus it doesn't cover the entire screen. I have 3 other brands coming, hopefully one of them is good... haha.

This is a 2 pack of wet install screen protectors. They fit the screen great and install pretty easily without any bubbles. Don't know of any glass protectors yet though

THEY FIT
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] nickcaper:
DO NOT buy the Skinomi protectors for Axon 7.

The screen protector is NOT proper fit. There are 2 sensors on the front of the screen at the top. This screen protector has a cut out for only one which is the one of the right. it covers the left sensor. Also, the edges of each side of the screen protector does not stay on the screen. The screen on this phone is special. It is curved at the edge. This screen protector does not form to this curve and causes the screen protector to peel up off the edges. So, with this in mind, keep looking to eventually someone comes out with a proper fitted screen protector...
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
Left top sensor is not a sensor, it's a LED. Other than that, i have to agree, wet installed screen protector don't last long...
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] gumbyx84:
So it covers the edges? Nice. How long have you had the screen protector? I ask because sometimes they separate from the edges
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
Since it's a soft wet applied screen protector, it won't last long... Unfortunately, they tend to peel quickly from the corner.

Moreover, it only protects from scratching the screen
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Wilson Scullion:
Skinomi

Do buy the Skinomi. I've tried six or seven glass ones, all too small. I've the skinomi wet protector on for five weeks, no problem. It goes round the curved edges and stays there. I'm using it with the free back cover, which works well.

Here's the 2nd tempered screen protector I've received from aliexpress. No halo effects compared to the previous one and also covers 99% of the screen. So far so good... but we'll see how it lasts in the long run since I just installed it today.

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
I have had similar in the past and I just want to check is the adhesive only on the black parts and when attached leaves the actual screen part loose against the screen so when you press the screen area there is some minor travel ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] lost0ne:
I don't notice any travel on the screen when I'm using it. But I have noticed that it does leave smudges when I'm touching the screen. The last one I tried had the same issue.

Screen protectors
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] celoxocis:
Those look like they cover the capacitive buttons?

Do they look like in the picture or are they completely transparent?

---------- Post added at 14:04 ---------- Previous post was at 13:58 ----------

Are the cut outs for the headphone jack big enough?

I had problems with a case like that I couldn't connect the headphone completely while the case was on as the headphone jack cut outs were to small.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] nuklid:
Yes, looks like on the picture.

Here is a picture of the cutouts
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] celoxocis:
Thanks for the pictures. I had returned the A2017G for the A2017U. The A2017G had a case included which was really tight (which is good). The A2017U has no case included. Is the skin you got just as tight to slip on as the one that came with the package?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] nuklid:
I haven't compared them before. Just now take a look on both. I think and feel both are nearly the same quality and feeling. I can do some pictures later face to face.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MaxRink:
looks like they are sold out tho
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] lost0ne:
It does cover the capacitive buttons and they are not transparent. But 99% of the time I don't really look at the buttons when I'm pushing them. So it's not too big of a deal for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] celoxocis:
So they are like "blacked out"? That would be a nice screen protector when CM comes through for those who prefer on-screen buttons. Just use the screen protector and cover the capacitive buttons and disable it in software. LoL
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] lost0ne:
Haha ya, they are blacked out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MrWilsonxD:
Could you post some pictures of this?

Sadly I broke my screen protector today. Dropped my phone twice at church today.. And I'm 2 meters tall.. T__T it had a long distance to fall..
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] TeutonJon78:
A2017U models definitely come with a clear TPU case in the box. It's kind of buried in the bottom though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
Yes I agreed it has some white sponge type material squashed inside it which contains the aim ejector tool. Very tight case but nice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] polar2792:
Anyone still using the screen protector that came on the phone? I don't see a reason to change it

Has anyone got an update on the Olixar tempered glass screen protector?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] gumbyx84:
I do but I have noticed it's taken quite a beating in my pocket
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] iamian36:
Sorry, this item is no longer available!

:mad:
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] polar2792:
I work in a steel fabricating shop 10 hours a day 5 days a week. So mine lives in a ziploc bag most of the time. Until I get home then it comes out the case and baggie. Mines pretty scratched up but not peeling at the edges so I'm using this one a while longer. Kudos to ZTE for that. Have gotten many a phone and they all had the film on them that have instructions wrote on them.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] djona12:
If you look around, the same is probably available from other sellers !

I'm waiting for it to arrive too :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] asianpianoman:
Mine scratched pretty badly; that's why I'm on the market for a new protector. Looking forward to hearing about the Olixar Tempered Glass!!
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] GTFO!:
The thin sheet that comes attached with the phone isn't exactly a good screen protector. The colours look awful and it scratches very easily. Its more of a protector just for the shipping. I don't know if your Axon came with a free protector inside a little brown box, but that is the real screen protector. I would replace the original one on the screen ASAP. You will see a world of difference in clarity and colours. It also feels awful.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] jayaprakash_ravindran:
Is the case better (I mean thicker) than the one provided by ZTE in the box. How about the lip in the front?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] gumbyx84:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M...C_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=axon7+case

It's not that much thicker, but it has the raised lip you want. It doesn't get in the way of the edges of the screen protector
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] sk0o:
Any one here that received the Olixar Tempered glass protector?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] lupedro:
i was buying it but when i saw that costs 15 euro i fall back :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
Junk. There is a 1/4 inch gap around each side and the edge of the screen not including any curvature.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MrWilsonxD:
is it still on your phone? Do you have any pictures of it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] melvinchng:
OP, can you make a spreadsheet so that everyone can add DO and DON'T buy screen protector from?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
Never installed it as it is worse than the one that came on the phone. I'll try and upload some pictures this afternoon.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] MrWilsonxD:
Awesome, thanks dude!
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] TeutonJon78:
Yeah, it's getting hard to remember which one was good and which bad. So far, if I'm remembering correctly, the good ones are the dry film one is the included one in the box (of which there aren't any buyable replacements yet), the wet application one from Delta Shield, and the no-name tempered glass one from AliExpress that covers over the capacitive buttons graphics and only has adhesive on the sides.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
Had these ones and although the film does not cover all the screen it did it's job for a few days. Lol.

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
Here you go.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] TeutonJon78:
OMG that's terrible. Did they even put it next to a phone before shipping it? Olixar wants ~$15 for that?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] jlomein:
To be honest a tempered glass one sized like that may be the best solution for no haloing. I picked up an Honor Note 8 with a glass protector and you can tell the 2.5D curvature starts ~0.75cm in from the side bezel.

We're left with undersized protectors that have less screen coverage but no haloing, or full coverage protectors with haloing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Haz3:
It's been on my phone since the day I got it....9/22.....
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
If you look closely at the pictures you can faintly see the outline of the one that came on the phone. If it were the same size as that i wouldn't have any complaints but its not close. They couldn't even get the height right.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] jlomein:
The plastic film that came on the Axon7 out of the box is highly flexible and covers areas of the display that are slightly curved. Tempered glass protectors can't replicate this fit, because although nearly indistinguishable to the eye, the display begins to curve much further from the edge than many think. This is why all tempered glass protectors currently have side halos.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] gumbyx84:
Has anyone confirmed that fit of the DeltaShield and Skinomi screen protectors?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] tele_jas:
I had the Skinomi "wet" screen protector.... By the time you squeegee out all the liquid, it's stretched out so much it hangs over the ends of the screen and hangs up on your pocket or the case.

I've read people don't squeegee it as hard have had good luck, but I ordered a 3pk and ruined all 3. Then tried another brand, a 2pk, same result.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] polar2792:
Everyone NEEDS to go here https://www.intelliarmor.com/contact-us and beg for a intelliglass pro to be made for us. They work amazing had one on my N6. Would love one for this phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] asianpianoman:
I just sent a request!

On a side note, I have run out of cheap cruddy protectors from xtremeguard (I bought 5 of them for like $4 lol) and I ordered a Skinomi but it got sent to the wrong address. So long story short, I've been using the phone with no screen protector for the past three weeks and I may just keep it this way. The whole time I had a crappy protector on, I was missing that buttery smooth experience of swiping from the sides because the protector was in the way.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] abdi7451:
I don't which company it is, we just have to push hard for a tempered glass screen protector from ANYWHERE. We'll take what we can get. Contacted IntelliArmor BTW. If you're viewing this thread, do the same for us. Thank you.

So are there any decent tempered-glass ones? I can only find the ones that cover the whole front (like these) in gold.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
Basically no...crap eh
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] NadavCE:
Damn... I actually found the one that's decent according to lostone in black, here. I just can't order it (something to do with the material/color options in Aliexpress).
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] ipmanwck:
I saw that. Reviews look bad and the adhesive is only too and bottom so screen travels when pressed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] agdev01:
Not tempered glass but i did install the skinomi techskin finally. Perfect fit, though i didn't get it aligned perfectly. Has held up fine for the last few days. im not sure how longterm it will last but no issues thus far.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] asianpianoman:
I just installed a Skinomi techskin and am letting it dry overnight... after 7 (yes 7) failed xtremeguard film skins, I'm not too optimistic about the Skinomi but we'll wait and see. The thing that gets me is that it is not a 100% fit and so swiping in from the edge rubs up against the edge of the film which disrupts the motion. After using my Axon 7 without any screen protector for a few weeks, I can definitely see myself going back because of this.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] KwesiJnr:
I bought the Skinomi Full Body Skin and mine fits perfectly, both on the front, back and speakers. I avoided the side panel skin since the bumper case interferes with it. I don't know how some are not getting it to fit 100%, but you need to be patient. If you apply it the first time and are not satisfied, you can remove, re-spray the solution on the adhesive side and apply again. That's one advantage about the wet skin protection I cherish.

If you're still having problems, there are numerous helpful videos on YouTube you can watch.

https://youtu.be/Tnlcb-fFAlI

Personally, I use the hand dryer to quicken the drying process since I sleep late and can't put my phone away. :victory:

I would prefer a tempered glass screen protector that PROPERLY fits, but since none are available that I know of, Skinomi seems to be the best option right now, IMO.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Rob Irizarry:
Anyone try the Mr Shield protectors? From reading the reviews, its clear they don't go edge to edge but do they at least cover the visible portion of the screen? I'd settle for that at this point.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] borijess:
I stopped looking for a good screen protector. What i started doing is using the protectors I had left over from the Note 7. They are larger and work great on the Axon 7. All you need is a paper cutter to cut it down to size. In will post pics later of the Zagg screen protector I have on the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] abdi7451:

I finally installed my Skinomi TechSkin screen protector. It was my first wet install but it went on ok. It doesn't fit the entire screen perfectly, but it does cover some of the curve. Like they say in the instruction video, you will need to press down on the sides of the protector to make sure they adhere to the curve of the screen.

Those with the Spigen case will be happy to know that the case goes over the edges of the screen not covered by the screen protector. Make sure the screen protector is mostly dry before putting on the case (about 2 hours for me). There was something on the underside of the protector that I couldn't get off, so I might contact Skinomi about getting a replacement. Anyone know if that's difficult?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] justFaisal:
So i've been through the whole thread and it seems like the Skinomi wet is the best solution right now. Can anyone who has it installed on their device post some pictures? I'm curious how well it covers the sides.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] thefiqs:
OK so I put it on yesterday. It is so close to perfect. Love it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Menergy:
I bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01GQVKBK0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's a 3-pack item but seems to be the same, also from the same seller. Dispatched from California. Returned it as the screen is not covered quite drastically in basically any direction, especially on the sides. It looks like a quality product in terms of materials and sturdiness though. What's the point of having a screen protector at all when dirt, fingerprints, water and anything else will stick with and lie in between the case and the edge of the protector? It is more hassle in the end than just keeping the screen with no protection, treating it well, and cleaning it daily than having a half-covered screen. In a few months, no matter how well you treat it, you will notice vertical lines on the screen, just where the edges of the protector are and may even have the screen damaged as it is exposed to different conditions on the sides, plus dirt and more.

Today I've got this delivered from China/Taiwan or around - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M726F8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It clearly says there are 5 mm on the sides but when I got it, it looked like kilometers and parts of the active screen were in the open. I am not going to return it but it goes straight to the bin. And I was stupid enough to buy 2 since I was unsure if I would be able to do the first one right without damaging it.

I am in London too so if you by any chance find a screen protector that fully covers the screen, with no excuses, please drop me a PM. And I want it badly since I only once dropped my previous phone but if it wasn't the case and its screen protector that saved it on the pavement, it would have been a piece of rubbish right on the moment so I don't want to leave the A7 with no screen protection now...

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] Menergy:
To me it looks OK compared to any other, how do you feel it yourself? I have a silicone case, very similar to the one that came with the phone, but thicker and hopefully, more durable. I am unsure if the case will fill up the distance between the screen protector and the case - probably. How much did it take you to install the screen protector with the supplied liquid and how much time do you need to leave it alone before putting any case around so it doesn't unstick? Is it now stable and tight to the screen some days after installing it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] p_shad0w:
Yes I just received them today.like the rest they don't cover all the screen. In my opinion quite worse than the ones that came with the phone in terms of screen coverage....I was excited too since Spigen doesn't usually release crappy products....
