Otterbox Symmetry Black Crystal. Relatively slim; easy to grip; moderately protective; and it lets the S7's own body show through.
Using one now, but then I can't use Gear VR, so I'll be switching to skins soon.

Im sure with some of the slim cases you could get it to fit the gearvr, some trimming of the grips with a sharp blade will fix any fitment issues
Yes. Samsung original clear cover. Too slippery without it.
Naked like it was intended to be used.

I've got the spigen super thin case just for grip. I tried the dbrand carbon fiber, but it was still too slippery. I just left the dbrand on and put the spigen back on. It fits fine still and when I take it out to use with the GR VR it still has some scratch resistance on the back and a little more grip.

I got the all black one. Great case.
Supcase unicorn beetle pro
Covers the entire phone, but it won't scratch. Phone is prettier without scratches.

Yes, I'm using a simple flip cover for my S7 Gold now.
On one hand it's sad to use a case on such a beautiful phone, but on the other hand I don't want to scratch it or even get my screen broken.
I'm using this one now : http://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Phone..._9&btsid=8c236a74-22ce-43b8-9514-8539215f2164
Also want to use a glass screenprotector along with it soon, but currently no good glass screenprotectors (or at least a bit cheap ones) are available.
I decided to buy a plastic one while I wait for the glass screen protector makers to get their sh!t together. Any recommendations?

Been using one for several days now and so far, couldn't be happier. I did a wet install and let it dry for about 10 hours before I used the phone. I don't think 10 hours in necessary, but I was just making sure. After drying, I put my Seidio Active case on the phone and everything is working great. Very clear, full fit, no lifting, no odd effects (rainbow, dis colorization, etc...). The cut outs are perfect and the feel is good. It's not glass, but it's very smooth. If it continues to work as well as it is now, I will not use glass. Just take your time and get it right. That's why I did a wet install, because it always seems to work so much better.
I've tried a couple of different tempered glass screen protectors and so far, they have all come up short one way or another. the best one so far was the Coral brand, it it only sticks to the side of the screen and doesn't work well with the cases I have tried.
Do you get any "orange peel" effect with this one? I have had it on my Wish List for a couple of weeks, because I got the Skinomi TechSkin HD Clear and while it fits perfectly and has full coverage, there is a relatively significant orange peel effect if viewed at the right angle. What I mean is there is a like a texture to the reflection. Turn the screen off, hold the phone at such an angle that you can see a light source in the reflection (such as a chandelier), and the reflection of the chandelier isn't "clear" - it's distorted because the screen protecter has this orange peel effect/texture look to it.

None that I have noticed.
Spigen Curved Crystal HD is the best so far. It is a film and not glass. But it covers the full screen area just not the full front of the phone. The corners, above the top sensors, and below the home button are uncovered. It does adhere to the curved edge nicely and works with my Tech 21 case fine. Glad you get two, as I did get a few fine scratches on it when putting it on (my stupidity).
I applied the Zagg InvisibleShield on my brand new S7 yesterday. I couldn't be happier with it, did a dry install, some bubbles formed but disappeared within the next couple of hours. Now it's absolutely perfect! Highly recommended.

Darn. I had one on the back of my iPhone 4S and it didn't feel all that great and got lots of little indentations and scratches on it. But it was very grippy but I don't think that's a good property to have on a screen protector.

I think the ones made for the back of a phone are meant to be more grippy, to make holding the phone more comfortable. I wouldn't say that the Zagg front protector for the S7 is grippy, but that's down to personal preference really.

No I don't. However, there is another reviewer on this forum that did have an install. I think the post title was "ocd approved."

+1 on the i-croo screen protector. Application was easy, it's edge to edge without halo effect/peeling/bubbles. It's smooth and not rubbery, fingerprint resistant, clear, no orange peel effect.
I seriously have a difficult time seeing the screen protector when I look for it--it's that well fitting.
Does the i-croo work well with cases?

Can go one better than that....!
Hey guys,
I've tried two different glass protectors and theyve both been too narrow for the screen leaving like 1mm of unprotected screen on both sides of the phone.
Just came across this youtube video showing the Spigen Curved Crystal. I cant post links yet so just YouTube search "Spigen Galaxy S7 Crystal Curve Screen Protector Review"
The Amazon listing has alot of positive reviews but theyre mostly biased according to FakeSpot. The weird part is that the youtube review itself shows a pretty good looking screen protector that fills both sides.
Another weird thing is that on Spigen's site it costs 25$ and on Amazon its only 9$ even though its the official Spigen Amazon page.
Anyone tried it or has any info?
I desperately need screen protection thats not completely horrible.
Edit: Sorry, wrong thread.
Screen protectors are collected here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...arching-screen-coverage-glass-screen-t3328181
That thread's for people who reviewed previous glasses, and since it hasnt been reported on yet, I dont think the post belongs there.
This screen protector is awesome, but not glass

I just installed mine on Monday after I was dissatisfied with the Zagg HD Dry.
The Zagg had a rubbery feel and showed little gouges/divots that supposedly would self-heal but I just didn't like it. My case is a Spigen Neo Hybrid and I was getting some bubbling near the edges.
So far, I'm liking the Curved Crystal. No issues at all with lift near the case and a nice smooth feel.
There's a very slight green tint that I notice at certain angles. My phone is black which makes it stand out more. I also installed it on my coworkers silver S7 Edge and the green tint isn't as noticeable.
It was a bit tricky to install compared to other protectors I've used since it doesn't go all the way to the top and bottom edge and has the curve on the sides. They recommend using their stickers to hold it in place on the home button while installing. If I would do it again, I'd use two stickers on either side of the home button instead.
Also, they give you two in a package which is nice.
I bought mine through Amazon.
+1 for Spigen curved crystal from Amazon.
Was totally dissatisfied with all the 2.5d glass screen protectors I tried.
While this isn't 100% coverage it offers protection from the scratches that were starting to develop from being in my back pocket (never carried with anything else. Lint/pocket debris will scratch an unprotected s7 screen).
Spigen Curved Crystal HD is the best so far. It is a film and not glass. But it covers the full screen area just not the full front of the phone. The corners, above the top sensors, and below the home button are uncovered. It does adhere to the curved edge nicely and works with my Tech 21 case fine. Glad you get two, as I did get a few fine scratches on it when putting it on (my stupidity).
i have try some ,but they are either creat narrow , or just narrower size
I also ha e installed a spigen curved crystal HD. Nice to the touch but not as nice as glass. I wasn't a fan of the top and bottom cutouts so I cut the protector so it just covers the screen portion of the phone, looks really good besides the one piece of dust and a piece of hair that got trapped under while installing. I used the wet install method, seems to be alot easier than dry install. Other than that I'm liking it so far.

just got this, and it's a really nice protector. i'm just dumb and suck at putting them on lately, so of course i got some dust under it, and after like my 5th time of peeling up a corner to remove dust, one portion towards the middle of the phone won't stick to the phone anymore, so i must have slightly bent the protector or something, bc it's a small line that just looks like a bubble, as it won't go flat. but other than that, this protector is great. fits the curved edges, no bubbling around the edges like every other one, and it seems really thin. works with my tscase leather case, but i wanna try it with my spigen neo hybrid to make sure it doesn't lift up the edges. if it does with their own brand case, then thats BS lol

Works perfect with the Neo Hybrid. No lifting or creasing. Just be careful if you gear vr if you put it into fast it can push the protector. I use that and the spigen plastic case case.

I haven't tried vr yet but I tried it in the hybrid.. it works but if you like slightly squeeze the side of the case, you can see some bubbling occur, so even their own cases will slightly lift it.

Cheers for these how you finding it?
Nowhere in the UK currently has this in stock! I'll have to keep my eyes open for stock, tempted to make the switch
Well I have been struggling to find a decent screen protector untill now.
Online there were alot of terrible reviews on most protectors due to the protectors not sticking. They lift after a few days, reduce the touch sensitivity. The good ones have a sort of dot matrix you can see when the screen is tilted certain ways. So I thought I'd order the genuine Samsung ones I thought hey who better than the manufacture.
I wasn't holding up much hope but I was pleasantly surprised. It isn't a glass protector and it isn't quite the film protectors. It's a little thicker the clarity is crystal clear and the feel is nice. It works with certain cases but not huge bulky ones. I tend to use a case for work and I have a skin on the rear of the phone to stop scratches and a screen protector on the front. Touch wood I haven't broken a phone yet. I want it looking nice and shiny after a year so not to bothered hiding it with a skin.
I will update this review in 7 days after using it in my day to day life. The protector has adhesive all over and is easy to fit as the outer protector has two alignment tabs to hold and a white line the matches perfectly to the bottom and top edges of where the screen starts so you can align perfectly.
I purchased mine in the UK for £14.99 you get 2 in the packaging which is pretty substanical so they shouldn't loss there shape when posting either.
Feel free to ask any questions
Happy reading and happy purchasing.
If you have this protector please write how your experience with it has been so far.
Just ordered these too as I found a very faint scratch on my screen.
Let me know how you get on mate.

Please keep us posted on this thanks.
5 days later so far so good the screen protector also works with a tech 21 clear impact case! It hasn't lifted as of yet. Tiny bit of dust being collected by the very edges ever so slight other than that it's perfect.
I'm also wondering how it's doing. Does the protector cover right up to the edge where it meets with the medal? How's it feel...like olephobic coating and feeling smooth...not rubbery.
It is holding up perfect for my usage one issue which I caused I nicked the bottom of the protector which has caused it to tear ever so slightly my fault for taking it out of a case. It feels perfect for me you can tell it isn't the glass but it isn't a bad feel.
The dust collecting on the edges is seriously getting on my nerves. The ocd in me wants to rip the protector off and the other part of me can't stand the small faint marks I have on the screen.
Thank you thumbs up

Make sure u trim the corners a little first before applying or it'll lift at some point on the corners I'd ur not perfectly straight with ur application. I took about 1-2mm off mine by following the contours of the corners. It's perfect now.
Despite Spigen advertising to apply it with the case on and that its "case friendly"... Its not perfect. By trimming it slightly before application you'll avoid it lifting.

Agree I had mine since day one and it's perfect with every single case. And I test a few glass screen protectors without luck. As much as I like glass this oficial screen protector seems like a protector made by spigen because of his quality.
Anyone uses a bumper/case compatible with this screen protection ?
Waiting on delivery of my new 23 Ultra (should be here tomorrow) I've also got the "Spigen Tough Armor Case" coming today.
Wanted to know what's the best screen protector to use with this case? i did buy the official Samsung film too as it was cheap. But ideally I'd like something more robust like glass protector. But iv'e heard using the Spigen Tough Armor Case it may affect the screen protect and push it off after a while.
Any recommendation from people who have the Spigen Tough Armor Case and a good glass protector?
Also looking for a film type proctor for the back. As I have another galaxy phone, and it has a spigeon case on it, but the back of the phone has so many scuff marks on it due to the case rubbing on the back over the years. Ideally, ant to avoid this on the ultra.
i'm in the UK by the way.
I have been using this one (IMBZBK)
for months and it's still flawless. Don't buy Whitestone dome or Amfilm. They always start to peel on the edges. Plus Amfilm is using a very weak glue that doesnt last pass a day without the glass coming off.

Did you search for imbzbk
glass are pretty similar no matter the brand. My bro and I got s22/s23 and we tested few glass protector, and they all are +/- same size and same glue strength.
Some case fit, but the moment it has an impact, it will deform to the glass and lift it.
we tested otterbox, caseology and spigen. It all touches the glass.
However, yesterday I tried a new one, since I was tire to have bubble, and so far so good, it very far from the glass edge. Tocol brand case.
Not the perfect case, since it's slippery, the transparent back is not so transparent and you can not feel the vol/power button .
But this is the one, that Ill keep until the end , pretty sure. Which will be 5-6 years.
