I have no experience with iCarez, but I ended up ordering the 0.33 mm because the Spigen ones are out of stock so I went with the cheapest one to hold me over until the GLAS.tr is back in stock. I prefer how the spigen one just has a cutout for the earpiece, not a whole cutout for the ambient sensors and camera.
Between the two you linked, I doubt you will notice the difference between the two. 0.13mm is about the thickness of a piece of paper.

Ok went ahead and ordered the .33mm version and a Spigen case slim case.
I have the .33MM and it is exactly the same as the Zagg (rounded edges and all) if you have any experience with those. As a matter of fact, it uses the same installation film and I would bet they are the same. I prefer the thicker shields. I am had a lot of bad luck with the thinner versions chipping on the edges.
I saw those but didn't go with it because it has no protection above the speaker. That shape cutout may make it more noticeable, and also it will make it easier to crack the very top - and cracks spread.
Well got the glass in today. Got to say it's my first glass protector and I like it. My spigen case has a 1mm raised lip to protect the screen so this fit perfect with it..
I was able to install first try, no bubbles no dirt underneath woohoo.

Anyone know a reliable cheap tempered glass screen protector brand on ebay? My first time using tempered glass and I want to get the right one for my new baby
icarez is about $10 and seems to have a good rating on amazon. Pretty sure you can find it eBay too
You're going to want rounded beveled edges, 8H-9H hardness, and oleophobic covering.
Make sure the protector is thin enough, I've heard from people that .4mm and above screen protectors can be not sensitive enough to touch.
I've also heard that you want the cut out for the speaker to be a hole rather than a whole chunk missing as that leaves a large part of the screen (including the edge) vulnerable and attracts dust.
Hope that helped!
Are there any protectors with the same cut out as the spigen, but thinner than 0.4 and not $30

I have the icarez glass on my G3 and think it's great for the price. It covers the entire screen just about. There is enough space from the edges to use a case with no issues. Install was a breeze and they packaged it nicely with a wet wipe, micro cloth, squeegee, and lint stickers. The edges are rounded as well.

Agreed - got my .33mm version yesterday - installed easily and it works with my Spigen case with no problems.
This is the one I use:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JV93WC4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Had it on since the first day, absolutely no bubbles, dust, etc. Has a perfect fit and works very well with my Diztronic case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KN7UQ6I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
I highly recommend this combination.
xtremeguard.. go to there facebook page and there is a code for 85% off all glass protectors.. ends up being like 6 bucks a piece.. has the the speaker cut out. its a little thicker than some but touch functions work just fine. i have it on my verizon g3 right now
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

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

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.

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.
I am looking for one as I have a dbrand skin on my phone (they are great ), most screen protectors are mostly for the whole front part.
Buy a normal screen protector and cut it how you want
I've been looking for one as well, for the same reason. No luck so far. Slickwraps usually include such a screen protector with their orders, but I've no idea how it would perform on our "2.5D" screen. It's also probably not worth ordering a set of skins just for the very average PET film.

The edges won't stick, you'll get a "halo" effect, dust will get in, etc.
You *could* try something from Skinomi, though. I know their wet-apply protectors stick really well on curved glass (I swore by it back in my HTC One X days). You could either try to cut it down to size, if you have such precise tools, or even just stick the whole thing over your skin, it'll probably be fine. Plus you get protection for your nice skin.
I am in the same boat. I'm getting a skin for mine and want to still be able to protect my screen.
Yesterday I received i-croo full screen protector and I think it's the best protection available today. This type of PET must be combined with proper case like Ringke Slim to avoid peeling on edges.

We are looking to cover just the screen though. Not the entire front. We have skins that cover everything on the front but the screen.
Put on a full coverage screen protector.
A wet install one would work the best.
If not a wet install, one like the Spigen Curved Crystal is excellent.
Then apply the front skin directly on top of the protector.
I did this for a while and it worked perfectly with the Spigen Curved Crystal.
The skin actually stuck well to the protector, and the corner cutouts of the protector allow the skin to stick to the screen directly and hold the protector down better.
Here is the amazon link for the Spigen protector, only $8.99 for a 2 pack right now.

The glass protectors for the S7 Edge are ALL horrible, do not use them.
The Spigen Curved Crystal is a curved PET protector, it actually fits the phones really well.
There was some problems with the initial batch of protectors but that has been fixed and now they are perfect.

I have this exact one. It's quite thick rubber around the edges, so feels quite strong.
It looks quite cheap though, and has a bit of Chinglish on the back - instead of "Tempered glass", they've written "Tempering glass"!!

Lol thanks for the update. Might just stick to the case I bought and glass screen protector. Seems like the best option for me with enough protection.
Hi,
I ordered one cover and screen protector and they are a bit disappointing. The cover is a bit slippery and the tempered glass screen protector has sharp/hard edges. So anyone can recommend me better tpu cover and full screen protector? Those titles with 3D 5D 6D tempered protector are confusing and not clear at all to me.
I see the ones from Nillkin are good? Current screen protector I've applied today showed the rainbow effect, what does it mean exactly?
After buying quite a few cases for this phone, this is the best case I've come across. It's not the most protective against drops, but it is a really great case.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/283241738671
The screen protector I'm currently using is a tpu style much like this one. I could never find a glass one that fit correctly.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/233013046340
The "D" related to tempered glass has to do with the hardness of the glass. The higher the number the harder the glass. I've never really trusted those numbers when it comes to the $1.99 protectors on eBay rated as a 9D. I've used a lot of them, but didn't really think they were really 9Ds.
Edit: The "D" I was referring to was actually the "H" score that is sometimes given with glass protectors. Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't know there are tpu screen protectors. What's your experience with it?
I thought the D are for how round the edges are. I had a screen protector and the edges were not round, just plain hard/sharp.

It does the job. Covers the entire screen. Feels a bit rubbery. Your finger doesn't glide as smoothly as on a glass protector, but it's not a horrible experience. Covers and protects the entire screen. That's good enough for me.

Does the screen protector also covers the black borders around the screen? I once had screen protector that didn't covered the black borders, not even the screen, more like 95% so it got the rainbow effect. It was very clear and annoying when watching content or browsing.
The H is for hardness, yes. The D is pretty overused, 2.5D, 3D, 5D, 6D and so on. Atm rebought the screen protectors I was happy with and also from Nillkin. So gotta find out which is fine and if not, the tpu version you linked.
I think I'll stick with tpu case I got it included when I bought the phone. I just doesn't understand why it got fuzzy or foggy(?).

Yep. It covers the screen from edge to edge. You just have to be really careful putting it on. Perfectly clear. No rainbow effect at all.
Ha ha. Yeah, the included tpu case was clear for about three weeks for me. Turned milky white after that. I wash it with warm, soapy water every once in a while, but it fogs up again within a few weeks.

I have that one too. It's really great for protection, but the raised edges of the case get in the way if you are using gestures in stead of the navigation buttons.

I have many cases as well, but this one Leather "Porsche Design" Type Case is by far my favorite. Very premium feeling with a nice protective lip, but not high enough to hinder the navigation gestures. Tempered glass screen protector fit just fine with no issues(don't use one anymore, but I did when it was new...), and the leather has held up quite nicely. Excellent grip from this case. It's kind of hard to see in some of the pics, but it does have the Porsche Design logo stamped into the center panel.

Are these tempered glass screen protectors full adhesive or just adhesive on the sides?
Just fitted a supershieldz from Amazon USA. Fit was good but a little disappointed that it was dot matrix design. Its not very noticeable but would have preferred a full adhesive glass one. Does one exist?
Gf bought me a standstone rubber case and it's great. Similar thickness to the original, but in black sandstone.
