TECH 21 S8+ Impact shield. - Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories

So I thought I'd start this thread as I've seen tech 21 have brought out an impact shield for the S8 and S8+. I'm in the UK and it is retailing for £20, that's quite a high figure for a screen protector anyone used or have one of these for the S8 or previous devices and can confirm if tech 21 protectors normally work.
I am yet to find a protector that would work even tried some of the wet applications. I don't think I'm willing to spend £20 for a bit of plastic on an off chance it sticks.

They sell them at all the AT&T stores and I had a friend that had a case. I know they design well and they stuff fit the phone well (unlike the Chinese things you find on Amazon for less then $10) .
The cases themselves look solid, but they are more expansive (not a lot more)

Cheap screen protectors - any good?

Looking at some cheap screen protectors for the Hermes. I have seen these are on eBay at £1.99 for 6. The seller offers "buy 2, get 1 free", so including postage (£1.99 to UK) it works out at 18 screen protectors for £3.98.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290056291809 (or search for item 290056291809).
But are they any good? Or would I be wasting my money?
The general rule is: if a manufacturer sells screen protectors in packs of several, it means the mfg himself does not think it will last for a long time.
Martin Field Overlay Plus lasted 3 years on my SE P800, and wasn't need to be replaced when P800 retired.
Treo 650 screen protectors
I use the one made for the 650 from Palm. Works well, fits well. Lasted well on my Treo.
the multi packs arent any good...and i think you'll be wasting you money...

You may be right. They arrived yesterday, and seem to be of quite good quality. The one I have tried appears to work OK (i.e., it doesn't affect my use of the screen, and it does put a protective layer over the glass screen).
However, the ones which I received are just a little bit too small to cover the screen (about 2.5mm too short and 1mm too narrow), so I will be contacting the seller about this.
I'm not actually worried about how long they last. Even if I have to replace the protector every month, I have enough to last me for 18 months - and I'll certainly be replacing my Vario 2 for a new toy before then!
Then again, I'm still not convinced that I need a screen protector. Before the Vario 2, I have had an XDA Exec, XDA IIi, XDA II and more iPaqs than I can remember. I never used a screen protector on any of them, and I have never ever had any screen problems.
You can get exim spucs off ebay for £3. I highly recommend these.

are screen protectors even really needed?

if you dont mind crying when you scatch your screen, then no!
I can only agree with the other posts I used the cheaper screen protectors in the past, thinking its ok when they scratch I'll just replace it, but it's true you get what you pay for, I have just paid £6 for a single protector and well it's brilliant, it sucked it's self to the screen No bubbles At All, Feels better to use the screen and up to yet not scratches.
ShieldZone's invisibleSHIELD looks really good. Pay once, protect forever.

Shield Skins

ZAGG 50% Off On InvisibleSheild Products!
I used one of this company's body protectors on my Duo, the thing was amazing. I know the description is kinda lame, but the protection kicks ass. Was hard to put on the curved parts of my phone's body (like all of these protectors are), but the screen protector is as easy to apply as any I've seen, and once you get it all on, it stays.
Ebay link for full body protection
Ebay link for screen protector only
Note: This isn't my auction, I was just browsing and saw that they had these available already.
Let me know how it fits your G1. I'm interested to know how they did it with the phone not out yet. Even the Invisible Shield guys (the "pioneers" of this kind of protector) are delaying til someone volunteers them a G1 for measurement after the release date.

What he said.... plus will the keyboard still slide? can we get to the reset button (if there is one)? does it come off easy or will it be a 2 hr process if we want to pull the SIM card?
Most of these full-body protectors come in several pieces that cover the whole phone, but still allow slides, buttons, etc. to work just fine.
My problem (and the reason I'm going with the invisible shield at zagg.com) is that some of these companies don't really cover the whole phone or even bother with the corners. Invisible shield covers everything.
And they're good for one use (but rock solid). They can be removed, but not generally repositioned since after they dry the first time, removing them stretches them out of shape.

That's how this one was for my Duo, and as for covering the whole phone it did that well. As for trying it on my G1, I don't have a G1 so that'd be quite difficult.

I know, man. That's one reason I trust the zagg people more...because they're actually waiting til the phone is released so they can get measurements. The get a lucky(?) volunteer to ship the phone to them and they custom-make the shield, install it, and ship it back, all for free. Then they have the measurements and can sell them to everybody. I'm a little wary of guys who claim to have a TBS before the phone is out.
I looked at "clear coat" I think. Some of their iPhone/touch/wtf ever protectors didn't even make it to the corners of the device. But the Invisible Shield brand covered everything but the ports. That's kinda what I'm looking at...but I'd be more than willing to pay less for something identical.

Haha, that always pissed me off that they made a customer send theirs in. Really, buy the ****ing phone and return it a day later, it's not hard. As for the G1, they're not hard to get... There are probably 10 on eBay that aren't pre-release, it's just that people don't bother to look.
Yeah, it's the slower process, but it's a guarantee that the shield will be 100% right for the phone. We are talking total-body protector, rather than just screen protector.
And if phones are being gouged on ebay for $600-1000 when there's just a little more than a week before anybody and his brother can get one, I can understand the wait. They sell shields; they're not in the phone-buying business. They've got a decent business model, even if it doesn't suit the impatient.
Edit: Someone on the tmonews forums got the "clear protector" brand from an ebay vendor. It comes in two pieces and doesn't cover the sides or corners.
i ordered one at e-bay and already have it home. im courios how its gonna fit a screen. but best thing is i spend only 0.01$ with free shippingfor it
Pre-Order a Zagg?

Interesting...
They must've gotten their volunteer. I know a guy on tmonews was actively courting them for his free shield.
For those looking to pre-order an invisible shield, here's a 20% off coupon code: "xxxxxx" (Code no longer works)
They're selling for just under $20 and this code gives almost a $4 discount.

yeah I ordered mine already... I talked to them on the phone and they told me that if someone was willing to pay for shipping the phone both ways they would probably make them a shield for free and install it so that they can get the measurements early... so if you have a phone and want a shield call them and see what you can work out...
wow, that looks pretty cool. Next paycheck i'm going to order one of those for my G1, my psp slim, and maybe for my Zen.
zagg.com emailed me and said that my shield was mailed... I am impressed... that was really fast.
BodyGuardz vs. IS
interested in what you all think of Invisible shield vs boadyguardz? i keep reading that IS gives more of an orangepeel effect whatever that means lol.
anyone tried them out fo real and not just looked at them?

I ordered the Bodygaurdz after reading a review of the two
the orangepeel effect is supposed to be seen as a negative thing making the screen harder to see, like a type of haze. The bodygaurdz is supposed to be tougher than the IS and shouldn't tear/scratch as easy. Also reviewed as more invisible/transparent too. I should receive it in a couple days and will post some photos before and after and let you know my real thoughts about it.
I like that you get 2 full body protectors for $24 and the shipping was free from bodygaurdz direct website.
Jcostanza4
my shield got here last night and I put it on and it looks really nice... I wish the front part had been one piece but I guess it works the way it is. With it on the screen actually feels more responsive and easier esp when scrolling.
There is a place by my house that sells IS and puts it on for you. The owner stopped by my store and gave me a card to get one for free. So I hit them up today and got it put on. So far its not bad but there are some rough edges. They told me it would smooth out in a few days after its "Cured". They also said not to put it in your pocket for 2 days. I will report back in a few days to see how it goes.
Where do you live? I am thinking of taking my off because I messed up and having someone else do it for me. Sadly while I was doing it the door bell rang and I had to answer it... well needless to say I had to reapply the screen piece again and now it is kinda funky... Other than that it is good I am just hoping the screen cures.

Galaxy S7 Tempered Glass Screen Protector Full Screen ***UPDATED 8/4/16***

Hi there! Wow, this thread has really taken off. Sorry for my absence. I've just read through about 15 pages of comments, and there have been quite a few additions, nearly every single one being a disappointment, but the only talked about in a positive light was the amFilm. I'll put that one on the top of the list for now. If there's one that has been talked about heavily, I'll do my best to continue to update here. Again, sorry for my absence, and if anyone finds any other strong ones, please send me a PM. Those actually give me a notification. Thanks!!! Seeing lots of talk about the Zagg protector, also that it broke for someone. Dot matrix is bad on it.
A GOOD OPTION: amFilm (http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Cov...&sr=8-120&keywords=galaxy+s7+screen+protector) 3.3 Stars, has been improved several times. Seems to be a pretty good option.
OLD POST:
The S7’s edges are a little curved, so it will be hard to find a perfect glass screen protector- most of them will give a halo effect, or they will only lay on the flat surface of the screen, leaving the curved edges exposed. I wanted to start a thread where we can post glass screen protectors for the S7 that offer good quality, and good protection. I’ve done a little bit of research that I would like to share with you here:
1) Full Screen Coverage Glass Screen Protectors:
a. Zagg
i. http://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/shop-by-device/galaxy-s7-accessories/
ii. No info on availability
iii. No info on price
iv. Glass seems to be nicely curved to fit the entire phone. Works with S7 & S7 Edge- they have different models for each, it seems. A Thread was posted on XDA saying that a Zagg protector was not very good-- not sure if it's the same product, but here's a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/accessories/zagg-glass-screen-protector-t3331065 - (Thanks, Macguyver) And according to TheLonePoster, Zagg is giving a halo effect, similar to the experience of a screen protector for the Nexus 6.
b. amFilm (Thanks nest75068, bastage)
i. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Cov...120&keywords=galaxy+s7+screen+protector+glass
ii. Available March 11th
iii. $8.99
iv. 2.3 stars-- dot matrix, some issues with non-adhering edges, "clicking" when touching the screen. 2.3 isn't a good rating at all, but in comparsion to some of these other companies, it's not a bad one to use until better ones come out.
c. SinHong

ii. In Stock April 6th
iii. $5.95 + $2.98shipping
iv. Recommended by TehPirate_, as good brand reputation, but as it stands, there is no clear stipulation about whether or not this is full screen coverage. Product is grouped with other products, so we won't be able to tell for a while if this is good or bad. For now, this is on the bottom of the "Good" thread, until otherwise stated. UPDATE: 65% low quality reviews from FakeSpot (http://fakespot.com/product/iq-shie...e-shield-d6c14fa5-59a8-41db-9b68-df6c7cbbe360)

iv. Has good cutouts, but does not cover the complete screen, has Halo effect on the edges. Here is a customer review with an image: www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R24T8GCDIIC5HI
Also, this is grouped with other phones- but this has a plethora of negative recent reviews- might be a good idea to stay away.

The images seem to be S6, not S7. Not sure how much the screen protector covers.
Also, this is in a product variation with six other screen protectors, so we are not going to be able to see the real reviews, if they are good or bad.
UPDATE: 1.4 stars. Bad product.

Not digging the rainbow effect though.", and, "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."

It looks like it is hard to find full coverage glass screen protector at this moment. If you find any good glass screen protectors, please reply to the thread, and I’ll add it to the post as frequently as I can.

Thanks for the head's up. I'm not getting my phone yet, but OP's Zagg protector looks pretty good. I'll wait until there's some more comments before I make any decisions. It's annoying that phones are being made with these curved edges-- it makes it hard to find good quality things..

Thank you to the three of you. I've added all of your input to the OP. Cheers!
Just wanted to add. I have tried numerous tempered glass protectors for my note 5. I could not find one that did not give a halo effect. I gave up trying, frankly did not need the extra protection of the tempered glass. What I did however was buy a crystal spigen screen protector and cut the edges. It worked well, the only down fall is that it does not cover the whole screen.
The Tech Armor one is pretty bad.
http://www.amazon.com/Tech-Armor-Sa...&qid=1457382650&sr=8-1&keywords=tech+armor+S7
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Spigen. I have used their screen protectors on a few phones and have never been disappointed. This one says "full coverage from edge to edge." http://www.spigen.com/collections/g...alaxy-s7-edge-screen-protector-curved-crystal
I did they are not tempered though

Thanks, I've updated the post.
I'm waiting for the pure gear one. Worked perfectly on my s6 and my mom's note 5 although it's pricey. If you want to try cheaper ones I suggest glass protectors that are less than 0.3mm the thinner ones seem to have a easier time sticking to the borders.

I'm not seeing a Pure Gear screen protector on amazon-- do you have a link to the product?
And about the .3mm or less- are you sure it's the thickness of the phone that causing the sticking? I thought that would a matter of the amount of adhesive.

I've only seen pure gear sold at tmobile or direct from them at pure-gear.com. Only thing is they're not showing a glass protector for the s7 yet. Hoping it's coming soon.
From my experience of having the g2, s6, and the note 5 and trying and returning 100 cheap glass protectors. It's a combination of how strong the adhesive is and how well the glass flexes over the curve. I tried the Zagg glass for my s6 think it's 0.33 and ya it looked perfect with no halo but the glue was so strong I think it was lifting the glass off of the digitizer. The left edge of the screen was only registering input half the time. I ended up going to tmobile and asked them which one to get and the guy suggested the pure gear one. The glass comes with a jig so it goes on the right spot on the phone but even that can be screwed up. If they do end up having a pure gear glass protector at tmobile I suggest you get them to put it on for you and to keep doing it till you're happy with it.
FWIW I have the regular S7 and the icarez tempered. The screen on the 7 has slightly rolled edges and the protector doesn't not adhere to the edges.

Have anybody tried fitting a BlackBerry DTEK50 case onto our Idol4? I know they're basically the same phones but I am not 100% sure, and I don't want to spend money on something that may not even fit. There are no good cases for Idol4 here in Poland, so that would be my last hope :crying:

I found 2 really amazing cases on eBay... Military grade material and drop tested.. shock proof. Tempered glass screens included. Under 20 bucks.. and also another technically designed clear case with lining of rubber strips in delicate spots.. only 9 bucks.. I'm ordering this black and orange one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/232241803876

Unfortunately, the shipping cost to Poland would be twice the price of the case, so that's a no-no for me :/ I've ordered an NGP Incipio case for Blackberry DTEK50, we'll see if it fits. I'll update once I get it, in case someone would want to do the same.
Update:
OK, it came today and everything fits perfectly so if anyone is hesitating whether to buy one or not, you're free to go Just keep in mind I'm talking only about the previously mentioned case, and I have no idea if any other one fits.

UK Screen Protectors

Evening all, i know theres so many already but i thought id start a thread on just screen protectors available in the UK. Almost all the thread ive seen when people post a link its never available here to buy so to make it quicker and easier lets see what the others in the uk have got
cheers, all
No one in the UK?
I'm interested in what others are using here in the UK. Don't really want to pay for a whitestone dome as I think it's way over priced.
Current using a cheap film protector off amazon
Galaxy S8(5.8 Inch) Screen Protector, Klearlook® [Updated Case-Friendly Version] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0727TVMYT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HwVHzbD8JC23Y
They stick to the phone really well and work with a case but they make the phone screen look a little fuzzy, you can hardly tell there's one installed if it wasn't from the image quality. I can live with this for now as I want my phone to have some protection but would love to see what others are using that might be better.
I've used 2 cases with these and have had no issues with lifting. Currently using a speck presidio grip that I'm really happy with.
Here is a pic of them installed when using a Choetech clear case.
