Galaxy S7 Edge - What screen protector ?

[KimJongOMG]

Does it have that orange peel effect? From the video, it doesn't look very smooth and a bit rubbery. Can you confirm?

madkoda12 confirmed it's smooth a few posts up. I'm going to pick one up tomorrow. I'll let you know how it is if you want additional confirmation.

I believe I have a puregear protector, had Tmobile install it on Monday. Edges will not stay down, has lint and grease under the protector. It covers all of the lit screen, but does not reach the metal body which results in a rough edge also. I do not recommend this.

Edit: this one

This. Mine has actually pulled up on several occasions. Installed by an associate. Gonna see if I can return it as it is terrible.

I had this installed at the mall kiosk today until the glass edge to edge one comes out. They installed it, and mine is very smooth, but it does have that somewhat rubbery feel, not bad but not glass. The feel is way better then previous ones I have tried, and not as bad as they used to be, but I still prefer glass every time and will switch when that comes out, I just need edge to edge protection for now. I do surprisingly like it though.

Have look around gadgetshieldz? They providing whole body screen protectors not to worry about the scratches on rear or sides of the s7 edge but sadly not tempered glass yet.
Available in both matte and clear screen

Re: What screen protector ?

I have never used a screen protector and never would. Why in the world would you want you cover that lovely screen when all you have to do to protect it is use a minimal amount of common sense in your day to day use and handling of the phone?

Alcohol negates common sense.

The Skinomi Matte protector saved my phone from going back because the damn thing attracted so much oil. I love the way it looks, it looks like sheet metal instead of a mirror.

It was a super easy wet install and it perfectly fits the phone. No problems with it not adhering.

I've been seeing that Skinomi was sending out bad screen protectors that did not properly fit the S7 edge. Apparently they have been sending out replacements because of it. Is the one in the picture a replacement or the original you bought? when and where did you buy it?

I purchased mine on March 3rd from Amazon. The protector fits the phone absolutely perfect. I haven't been contacted about design changes, perhaps I received the latest?

Hi, just bought the Zagg HD dry protector for the z7. So far I am happy with it. Here is a link to a video showing everything is lined up with the holes and edges.

bought it at a Sprint store. And had them install it.

I couldn't live with that, but that's just me. :-\

Supershieldz are awesome and very cheap. I'll keep mine on until someone releases a good glass one

The Original has the orange peal, the HD, while plastic is smooth like glass

Installed. It's slightly rubbery but no orange peel like the Skinomi wet install skins. It's not as smooth as, let's say a Spigen Crystal, but it's definitely better than a Skinomi. It's like the Crystal and Skinomi wet had a love child and this is the result.

Let me know when that's out if you can please. I want to pick one up unless Zagg releases a tempered glass screen protector that's actually good before then.

From my own experience: don't bother with the Curved Crystal: it smudges real easily and your screen looks like you touched it after eating fries with your fingers and smeared the grease all over it after an hour or two. I have no idea what they coat that thing with.

I have the crystal on my S6 Edge. It actually behaves like the glass which is quite funny. Naked glass smears like no tomorrow on these phones for some reason. Spigen somehow managed to capture that magic
