ZAGG Glass Curved now available but........ - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

Called Zagg yesterday to ask about the curved tempered glass for the S7 & S7 Edge and the girl said it's been shipping for the past week. You have to call and order as it's still not available on their website. Now here's the kicker, It has a black painted border around the edges. :silly:
I asked if it sticks to the actual display area and she said yes, but did not sound too sure. It was $44.99 but she said she would give me 10% off and another $10.00 off discount. After hearing about the black "Painted Border" I did not order and will wait to see what others find out.
If anyone has ordered and received one please post some pictures and a review. Thank You.

Thanks, it was new news to me. Does the actual display area stick like a regular glass protector?

Users are reporting that it is a dot matrix style. Frustrating, I know. I have my doubts as to whether we will ever see a good full coverage glass screen protector.

This sucks. Have to stick with the crappy film protectors for now.

The 2015 Moto X, Galaxy S6 from last year still don't have proper fitting edge to edge screen protectors. It will be a miracle if there is one made for this phone.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

OK, Just installed the Zagg Curve and I'm pretty impressed with it. Went on perfect, lined up perfect, very smooth and overall one of the nicest protectors I've seen in a while. You would not even notice it's on the phone if you weren't looking for it.
The black on the protector is not the same pearly black like the phone but none the less looks pretty good.
I did manage to get a tiny piece of hair or something under the display but that's my own fault. :crying: Not going to take it off as I think it's a one stick deal and that's it.
The home button is noticeably lower but seems to work just fine. The capacitive buttons don't seem as bright with the protector on. The dot matrix is there but very hard to notice during normal use. Fingerprints hardly show up and the oleophobic coating is super smooth.
This opinion is based on about 1 hour with the protector on the phone . I'm going to let it sit a while before trying on some cases.
That piece of crap I got under the glass is going to drive me crazy. :silly: Here are a couple of pictures. The last picture you can see the dot matrix and piece of crap I got under the glass.

Another picture from a different angle.

Works great in the Otterbox Defender with the factory plastic protector removed.
I like my thin cases though.

Should I use screen protectors on LG G Watch?
Sure you should, look at your old watches, smart or not, they always have scratches.
I bought the 3x pack from Spigen à 6€ on Amazon.

I'd be tempted to say yes. I might be getting one for myself.
Thanks I also order by amazon the screen protection
I was looking at a Skinomi TechSkin
I don't have one on my Pebble and its good shape. Minor scratches but notching intrusive.
$10 for spigen but they proven to me they last a long time. Rarely need to replace on my phones. As far other watches I bop them on stuff all the time but they have decent scratch resistance as well.
If it gets annoying I'll go without but I got a pack coming.

Same here, on both my N5 and my M8 I have glass screen protectors..I dropped my M8 once and it SHATTERED the screen protector(I mean shattered...very hard to see the screen) but not a scratch on the screen, it also had a case on, so with the combo of the two, what would have made me need a new phone, it looks brand new still

I went through 2 glass screen protectors on my s4. one had been applied badly and had junk stuck under it despite my best attempt,didn't seat correctly and started pulling loose eventually cracked. Last one was great for a long while... chipped along the edge thanks to something in my pocket. tried to baby it.. eventually cracked being flexed in my pocket.
Guess I didn't have good luck. On a watch for me probably wouldn't last a week.
Edit: just realized they won't be to me for another week thanks to slow poke mail, trying to be cheap.
I'm not even gonna lie. I will be going budget or DIY on this one. I have about 8 extra screen protectors from previous phones so I'm going to attempt cutting them to size of the g watch until the glass ones are available.

same here. i ordered the spigen ones (3x) but im not really impressed. so instead I now took a spare protector for my n5 from mumbi and cut it myself. It doesn't look any worse than the edges from the spigen one and it's a really good screen protector
This stuff right here: http://www.amazon.com/bIONic-Shield-Liquid-Screen-Protector/dp/B00HZDOQIC
bIONic Shield liquid protector. I've been using this on my HTC One and my Nexus tab, and it's the real deal. Can't scratch your screen with a key, knife, etc. The rest of my phone's case is banged up, but the screen is flawless.
I'm most likely grabbing the LG G Watch Screen Protector CR from Spigen
It is the same as what I currently use on my Nexus 5.

I am using that one for 3 days now and I can only say I am very disappointed. You won't leave fingerprints, but smudges still appear all the time, its even worse than without the protector. What I did now was to take a spare screen protector for my Nexus 5 from Anker and cut it to the size of the watch-display. Looks almost as good as the Spigen one but it is very resistant to smudges. I almost never have any resedue apart from dust. I can't recommend the Spigen screen protector because of this.

They do smudge quite a bit. Not sure what else to do about it though doesn't affect indoors as much as out.
I do notice that the smudges aren't oily colored smudges like I did without so there is a slight difference. No worse than any other clear protectors on any other devices. Matte ones would help a bit but still doesn't look as nice.

Unicorn Beetle Case for LG G3

I just got this superb case in Amazon. I love it....it's well made with good plastic material and grip. It adds a little bulk but....i still like it...it looks like a tank. Lol. The only thing that i hate with this case is ut comes with screen protector which is built in and when u place your phone in...it shows rainbowing distortions...it's more noticeable when the screen is off and intense direct light to the screen. Any how when...you turn on the screen everything looks fine and the touch responsiveness too aren't minimize.
Im planning to rip the builtin screen protector and get a hd film or glass i hope it will still fit when installed back in the case.
I'm confused. That's totally different from this unicorn beetle case

what glass screen protector did you used? I was concerned with the thickness
@hatyrei - on the back of your phone, there is a sticker (in the second picture) attached on your power and volume keys, not to be rude but that is supposed to be removed, unless you want it, those are just intended to be temporary indicators.
@Ronde90 - What glass screen protector are you using? I popped out the one there and bought a thin one (that sadly is a fingerprint magnet) for now but wanted to see if a glass one fit. How are the smudges? What brand/model/price?

Hi guys. I ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KLDJAO8?pc_redir=1404818582&robot_redir=1
It was pretty inexpensive and I didn't want to spend 40usd on one so I figured what the hell, I'll try it. It looked nice and was one of the only glass screen protectors that covered the entire screen, meaning that there were no jagged cut outs for camera or anything. Plus it is only 2mm thin and has rounded and bezeled edges. After using for a day or so I have to say it is fantastic. If feels great and you barely know its there since it is so thin and clear. It really is smudge resistant unlike many other glass screen protectors. It is also very easy to apply. It uses some kind of silicone based adhesive so it adheres better to the screen and is less prone to having bubbles be caught under it when applying it. The screen protector is also very easy to remove and reapply. I actually used it for a day, then took it off when I got the unicorn Beetle pro case. After two days of the scrappy Beetle screen protector, I ripped it off and reapplied the glass screen protector with no issues at all; I wrapped up the glass screen protector in wax paper for the mean time.
If you're on the fence, pull the trigger and I promise that you won't be disappointed, especially at the price on amazon now.

Exactly what I did and am absolutely loving it. This case works wonders (assuming you rip out the ****ty built-in protector and replace it with glass) and isn't too bulky.
man you guys are tempting me really badly. i love the look of this case!
im liking it a lot, it reminds me of the urban armor cases. im going to order one
Tada..... , after ripping out the builtin plastic screen protector... I installed the new glass screen protector by iCarez. And I'm happy to tell u guys it fits very well. Just becareful when you put the screen protector be sured the front cam isn't hindered or covered.

Plastic screen protectors?

I decided to buy a plastic one while I wait for the glass screen protector makers to get their sh!t together. Any recommendations?
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
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.

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.

+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.

Screen protector

Hey everyone!
I read everywhere online that the 3/3T and the 5 share *very* similar screens. So similar, in fact, that they may very well have exact identical dimensions as well as being 2.5D.
So...with that in mind...
Anyone think the 3/3T screen protectors will fit the 5? Cases won't since the 5 is thinner, but maybe the SPs ?
Thoughts?

I think the phone is gonna have the same problem the 3t had. There won't be any good choices. Even the official one for the 5 has the same black border that caused blocked pixels on the 3t official tempered glass screen protector. Are those black borders really necessary?

Yeah, I know. For my 3/3T, I had finally *settled* on a Best Skins Ever (same as ZAGG) since it would stick everywhere and had no halo effet. Not glass, but still not so bad.
There's nothing out yet for the 5 so I was hoping to order another 3/3T Best Skins Ever for my 5.

It does. It's very nice, much more so than half-assed 2.5D glass protectors with halo and dot matrix effects.
Can't speak for the body protector as I'm only using their screen protector (I use a Spigen case for the body).
If you have ever used ZAGG protectors, they're the same.
They're a wet application, as well, so that's something to consider if you're not cautious.

Yes, same orange peel as ZAGG. I don't mind it too much, though, as it's not that bad, but definitely nowhere near as nice as a tempered glass SP.
Here's the pic that you requested

Here's a picture of my OnePlus 3T with the BSE on.
It's been applied for about 5 months, now, with general use.
There are no bubbles, I just couldn't be bothered to dust it before snapping the pic

Thanks. I hate the orange peel. It's very annoying to me.

I hear you on the orange peel... On my "flat" screened phones, I always use glass SPs, but since the OP3/3T were curved, I preferred orange peel over having ****ty halo effect and dot matrix and lifting corners and what-have-you...
I wished the OP5 would have a flat screen, but alas, it's not the case

So there's no perfect phone? I was looking at the S8, but I don't like the curved screens. The Oneplus isn't curved much is it? I'm very sensitive to light and have to use an anti glare screen protector or else my vision goes double.
I wonder if @intelliARMOR will develop a screen protector for the OnePlus 5. Got their products for my old Nexus 6P and the quality and customer support was simply amazing! I've seen they already have a protector for the 1+3, maybe they'll update their intelliGLASS for this occasion.

OnePlus screens have been working fine for me, however I simply wish it was easier to find decent glass SPs.
Maybe OnePlus 6

Agreed, their glass SP was perfect on my 6P. However, the 6P also had a flat glass screen, which the OP5 does not

I think the phone is gonna have the same problem the 3t had. There won't be any good choices. Even the official one for the 5 has the same black border that caused blocked pixels on the 3t official tempered glass screen protector. Are those black borders really necessary?

I can confirm the official TGSP for the 5 has the same pixel blocking issue. I didn't own a 3/3T, but I did just look up the photo of what you mentioned, and sure enough, I've got the same issue. Wish Orzly would make a completely transparent one like their one for the OPO (rocked it from October 2014 until now and it's been perfect).

Best Samsung Galaxy S9 Tempered glass screen protectors

I've not personally used one, but it seems like the Whitestone dome glass has been the top choice for screen covers with the previous models. They're pricey and it's a process to install, but it's full adhesive. Also the new zagg is supposed to be a good one.

Im looking for a tempered glass screen protector as well. I have gone with amfilm in the past but not since my lg g4. Ive had the s7 edge and tempered glass has been hard to fine something good. Might try the amfilm again,

Got amfilm for 3 days now and it a bit of a disaster. It cracked on first day from 0.5 meter fall on wooden (panels) floor, screen itself of ok, so one could have said that protector worked but cracking from 0.5m fall on wooden floor? Some places (top of the screen and bottom right corner) have much lower sensitivity so e.g. pressing backspace and enter on keyboard is difficult, need much more pressure to get it working. After 3 days the curved bits are finally sticking to the screen but managed to get a bit of dirt underneath, luckily it's very small amount and totally invisible.

I heard you gotta adjust the sensitivity settings on the phone with that. One of the reviews on amazon mentioned it.

That could be true if all the screen had this problem not just 10%. On the second thought it's better today comparing to Sunday when I applied it, maybe it needs some more time to settle down? Anyway, it's cracked from first small fall...

Has anyone used panzerglass products?
I've never had great luck with any curved glass protectors. Bought and broke too many. They work great on my iPhone X, but none have worked great S7, S8. I bought these with good results.

Been also looking for tempered glass on the s8 and now the so. The ones they make for iPhones feel a bit filmy and when they fall they crack. Don't see how those aren't popular on the s series. So I just got a spigen neo flex.
I gave in and bought a Whitestone. It is as perfect as they say. Installation wasn't as hard as I thought it would be ; you just need to watch a bunch of videos of the process beforehand. But is it worth it for the price? I still can't answer that. It makes it easier if I just think of it as an installment plan over the life of the phone.
I have a Zagg Curve Elite four my S9+ and I can highly recommend it. Had it for 1 week, no problems so far. And a plus is that it is case friendly :good:

I have personally used the Whitestone Dome on multiple devices and have it on my S9 right now and it's amazing. I'm a really big fan of it and think that it's the best one out there by far.
