I currently have a cheapo plastic screen protector on my S7 (non-edge), but due to the sides of the screen being curved, there are gaps where dust can get under at the edge (see picture).
Has anyone in the UK, got a plastic screen protector that can cover the whole screen without these gaps?
I have seen the I-croo, but its not available on Amazon UK
This one does: ultimateshield.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protector
Do you have this one installed? Any pics? Works out at £6.29 all in.
Today I received this one

Really nice, the best protector I have tried so far. Edge to edge, perfect fit and great feeling.

Yes, i have it. Sadly i don't have any other device to take a picture with, but it does cover edge-to-edge.

Has anyone found any screen protectors, film, PET, glass, etc. that cover the entire screen correctly? I've already ordered a film one that was all misaligned and didn't cover it well.
I hear that Zagg is coming out with one that's pretty awesome. It supposedly wrap around entirely, front to back.
I must be lucky because I never use a screen protector and have never experienced a broken screen, just use a Otterbox commuter.
I'm also looking for one of the self-healing screen protectors that fits... the ones on Amazon have reviews that say it's cut wrong

Have you tested them?
I have a few of their screen protectors on order and should arrive in a few days.
Anybody else having issues with SPIGEN?
Don't seem to be sticking at the edges of the protector
I picked up an amFilm glass screen protector -- it's supposed to be full screen coverage.
I think I'll wait on ordering a glass screen protector until someone actually gets one installed and thinks it looks right. I'm wanting an edge to edge one. Even the Amfilm does not mention it's curved or not. Edge to Edge and curved to go to the edges are two different things.
I am going to buy the glass one here. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Galaxy-S...hash=item1a0f20ea52:m:mvH5yB-EhsNPPk95uO127rg
I live in Australia and don't want to wait a month for a screen protector

It says "Not Tempered Glass" if you read closely.
Just put on my skinomi matte. Perfect edge to edge fit. Not digging the rainbow effect though.

OMG thanks for that, Didn't see that. Might just go but this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17211459...49&var=470953615215&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
And then order a full coverage tempered glass later
I've found the IQ Shield wet apply to be a decent alternative to tempered glass. Not quite as smooth and clear, but excellent fit and protection.

Second the Skinomi Matte, fits nicely. The Edge display looks a bit different under it, like the skin itself is lighting up not like it's a layer on top of the display. Previously used a tempered glass on my GS5 so this is a big difference. Touch feel of the skin is good. Had to remember how to put on a protector cleanly though, took a couple tries to get it done (but I had budgeted one 'practice' protector to burn).
Haven't noticed a rainbow effect though.
Spigen ones cover the whole screen (not full coverage) and from S6 experiance they are actually slightly wider than the active parts of the screen, unliek most ones I have seen that are exactly the same width as the screen.
Can someone confirm that the front dimesions of S6/S7 are the same? Have some spigen ones left and guessing they will fit exactly the same?

Read both positive and negative ones on the S7 version. Some say perfect fit and some say its peels. Might be some quality control issues on first batches I guess as they were selling way before phone release.
Same here with spigen, they don't stick at sides.

Thats a bit of bad news. I would have expected better from Spigen.
Indeed, i always buy spigen screen/glass protectors but this time they're not very different from others.
Tbh i tried other screen protectors and spigen ones are the best, they don't stick for less than 1mm but it's away from perfect anyway.
Bought the Trianium Tempered Glass, it was labeled on Amazon for S7 and S6 but I needed something asap so gave it a shot.
Check it out here ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I believe they just took old stock of S6 screen protectors and stuck a S7 sticker on the back.
It fits, but if you installed it it would slice your front facing camera right in half.
I know everyone is going to start looking for the best screen protectors but this is one everyone should definitely avoid.
Thanks for that. So many of these early screen protectors aren't fitting. This is rediculus.

This is a known issues for the note 5. I have been through at least 7 screen protectors and each one leaves a halo effect around the screen. There are not going to be a lot of options to avoid this. The only thing I can recommend is buying any non-tempered protectors and trimming the edges. The only problem with this is that your whole screen will not be covered.

That's not true, I have a Skinomi one installed right now with absolutely no halo. It does not go edge to edge but there is no visible halo with it.
This one wasn't an issue of a halo, it doesn't even fit at all. If you were to fit it to your phone it would install but the front camera is cut off.
But yes you are right, I have ordered some clear protectors as well.

I tried a skinomi on my note 5 had decent halo. I wish I would have taken pictures. It seems like it could be hit and miss depending on the cut of the screen protector and how much beveling on your specific phone. I may be willing to try the skinomi on my s7 it just gets expensive trying 5 different screen protectors.
I am going to buy official SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Clear View Case Cover, but I am struggling whether to get a silver or a black case for my black S7. It's really hard to determine from the pictures what is the difference, because they always present silver version of S7 with with silver case and black version of S7 with black case. Which one would look better on the black version?
I got the silver one on a silver S7. Looks and snaps on superb and it's not obstructive on the keyboard.
On a black S7, personally I would go for the case with a black rim. If you like the bling, go for the silver one.
In my opinion, don't ever buy this case. It did micro scratchs on the top of the screen and a few on the right edge after less than one week. The reason is that if tiny particles got trapped between the cover and the screen, then they will damage your screen. You are warned now.

I got the Rugged Armor from Spigen, really good material and fits really well. Also ordered a Yootech screen protector. It's not tempered glass cause it seems because of the 2.5D screen it's almost impossible to fit a tempered glass effectively on it. Gorilla Glass 4 should be resistant enough anyway...

I confirm that. I bought this case for my wife in 1 week appeared several scratches at the top of the screen. I was VERY BRAVE. As Samsung makes a cover that scratches the screen of your cell phone. RIDICULOUS.
I like white black
Has anyone found a screen protector for this phone that covers edge to edge, and doesn't leave an oily film down the center between the screen and the screen protector?
Preferably glass.

Yes, Whitedome Glass. Pricy but the only one that actually is worth your time and money. Others are junk but don't take my word for it, or do actually because iv tried about 4 different glass and plastic brands and none were worth their cheap initial cost.
That was one, full cover full glue glass screen protector for the v30 from a company named samhoon, unfortunately it is no longer available. Try to contact them on aliexpress, if enough people are interested I believe they might change their minds.

This is a plastic screen protector, and besides being soft like rubber and picking up scratches like crazy, it (seems like it) also has the orange peel effect that looks terrible. If you find a better one that isn't the $50 Dome glass, let me know. I would even take the plastic one that doesn't look too bad.

You're right... It was mentioned to be glass. My bad
Overall this is my first time using this type of screen protector. After a week it isn't bad.
Do S21's come with installed screen protector?

S21 Ultra comes with pre-installed screen protector. A Samsung representative confirmed this to me. I don't know about the S21 and S21+, but my guess is that it is the same.
yes mine comes with a pretty good screen protector and i dont know if i should remove it or not since i think it give a little bit of yellow tint to the screen!
have to find a screen protector first before removing it , i did go nude for my note 8 and its ****ed up on the screen so ill try to be more protective of this beauty from now on!
The S21 vanilla comes with an integrated screen protector as the S20 did.
My exynos S21 purchased in Dubai came WITH a screen protector on. Have not taken it off yet but even with the screen protector on the fingerprint reader is miles better than the version on my S20+ without the screen protector.
It may even have a screen protector on top of the screen protector.
Mine does NOT have a preinstalled screen protector. Unlocked Ultra 512GB directly from Samsung
got my 21 plus unlocked from samsung no preinstalled protector just a peel off piece of plastic it has a pull tab on the top right.

Mine too!!
mine came with one. feels like some sort of plastic film like the s10 had on it. Peel off the packing plastic and its obvious.
It has x2 screen protectors rip the first one off or finger print sensor wont work they should state this lol anyway it has a second one on so all good.
Would anyone that has a screen protector preinstalled be able to take a pic of it? I can not see it or feel it. and i dont want to end up putting a screen protector on another screen protector.

The screen protector has a hole for the front camera.
The factory screen protector is rather good I must say, it has an oleophobic layer so the fingerprints come off quite easily and I don't see it creating chromatic abberation which sometimes happens with cheap protectors when there is any liquid like sweat on the display. Of course being perfectly aligned and without any dirt or air bubbles is also a plus.

Interesting. I looked at the camera to see if I could see it or feel it, but I couldnt find anything. I dont understand why some have screen protectors and others don't. Oh well. Thanks for the help.
Nope, no protector here. Bought unlocked s21 direct from Samsung upgrade program. With Gorilla glass 3 may not bother.
