Thought I'd post that I had a surprisingly good experience installing the $29.99 ZAGG InvisibleShield Ultra Clear+ Screen Protector for edge+, which I believe may only be available directly from Verizon right now, since I don't see it on ZAGG's site or Amazon. TIP: Verizon Up $10 off award towards select accessories can be applied to this product.
Using ZAGG's clever "EZ Tray" for alignment and squeegee, the protector applied dry with zero bubbles on the main screen face, and only a few "micro-bubbles" on the waterfall edges, only one of which has persisted for a day and a half now, I think caused by a spec of dust I missed.
Truly "invisible", I can't tell it's there visually except for that one minor edge speck. To the touch, it has more of a semi-soft plastic feel vs. the original Gorilla Glass, though gestures and fingerprint are all fine, and so far no indentations or scratches, though they seem likely to occur. We'll see how well Zagg's "self healing" claim works, if so.
To anyone questioning whether the edge+ Gorilla Glass 5 needs screen protection, I'll mention that close up inspection under a bright desk lamp revealed a couple faint scratches in the glass, after 3 weeks of gentle unprotected use, incl. carrying in pocket.
I'll update this post if anything changes. Based on past experience with TPU and other plastic screen protectors, I'm concerned about eventual peeling, but this product may fare better since there aren't really spots where fingers regularly contact the protector edges. If that happens, I'll put the ZAGG lifetime warranty to the test.
