If only they figured out how to curve it.
The most convenient screen protector I ever found for a curved glass Samsung phone was at...wait for it...Walmart. Yes, Walmart. Back when I got the S7 Edge, I found a simple plastic screen protector at a Walmart store, under a line of products called "WriteRight." It was a static cling protector and only offered protection against scratches, but the important thing is that it was curved at the edges. I didn't need to use a soapy spray, squeegee, etc., nor did I need to press down on the right and left sides to get it to stick properly. I just put it on my phone and it stayed in place, because it was form-fitted to my phone.
Had I dropped my phone face down on a rock, the screen would have likely shattered. But it protected against grains of sand in my pocket and other such hazards, and when I turned it in for the S8+ a year later, the screen was in flawless condition. Not so much as a hairline scratch. Sadly I've never found these screen protectors for more recent phones. Which is too bad because it was only $10, and I would totally buy one for every new phone if I could. If only TPU protectors could be curved out-of-the-box...
