Just got it in the mail today. Install went smooth very simple to install. Glass it's thin but works great with my tpu case.
Came with alcohol pad
Fiber cloth
Hard card for bubbles
And glass
Feels like I have nothing on my phone, and so far I don't have any trouble with the screen recognizing my touch. And no problems with my tpu case with it on! Recommended it to anybody who can get their hands on it!

It really is. It's like I'm running the phone naked. The only time I'm reminded of it is when I go caseless.
Really? I have this and am not impressed at all. Yes it feels nice. Yes it installed very easily with no bubbles. What bothers me is the fit and without radii edges. It's very visible white edges. It's not even close to the edge of the glass and it doesn't cover the camera, LED, and light sensors. Replacements are on the way...
Yes maybe you got a bad batch. But I don't have any problems with rough edges. Mine doesn't fit all the way to edge but very very close but I like that it's like this because of my tpu case I didn't want it to rub up against it to lift it allowing dust in between the protector.
Which could be how they made it in the first place who knows!
Also yes the camera led and speaker aren't covered but it's so close to it that I don't see this area being scratched unless you are running without a case.

Yep, probably the very reason it doesn't fit the screen well.
I'm running a Spigen Slim Armor case, The cases bezel around the screen just covers the plastic edge of the phone, not the glass, which I like very much. I'm not a fan when a case covers glass because it can interfere with trying to select certain things on the screen. So it is more apparent when a screen protector doesn't quite go to the edge of the glass. The white edges and die cut around the camera, LED, and sensors make it that much worse too, unfortunately.
See mine was cut longer on the sides and the bottom so the only gap I have is the top part where they intentionally left uncovered.
Looks to me that there different batches with some weird cuts. You said you getting a replacement from them? Or did you mean you are ordering from a different company?

Hello all !
So Just received the long awaiting tempered glass screen protector. Bought it from here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/131021234626 CHEAP AND FAST CHIPPING !
So here is some pictures
It does add a little Bump to the homescreen, but nothing major
Overall im very pleased with this glass protector, its awesome. Really easy to apply and it feels more fingerprint ressistive then before. One thing is sure, it kicks every expensive protective film ass! Go and buy it and feel the difference for shure
S-PEn, finger hovering EVERYTHING works fine. Go and buy it asap !
Thank you mate. I just ordered it. Hope I will be satisfied as you
You wont be dissapointed , s-pen works really good with this
I really looks like it is on upside down, there is a bevel rounded edge facing the phone. Could be the pictures, and I can't imagine the adhesive side was mistakable.
Im not blind, its on correct side
I just got this and I have a slight issue (top right corner+bottom left corner) is slightly lifted. This isn't huge, or a deal breaker by any means. This is my first glass screen protector and its absolutely beautiful.
Dont like the look of the cut for top part of the phone, should checked this thread out before ordering!
Explosion proof
did your glass-m come with a home button sticker?
just fitted mine and it feels great
are there any glass protectors that cover the whole screen even at the top? (with proper cut outs)
Got mine today, all installed. Do like the Glass feel alot instead of plastic screen protectors.
There is no home button included in my package. I now looking to get another one with better top cutouts

The oleophobic coating on my phone started to wear off and an ugly stain is left at the bottom corner of the front panel. I came across this fusso product and wondering if it possibly can cover and hide the part with no coating on the screen? Also I am not sure if at all it can be applied directly on the ASF or it is meant for glass surfaces only?
Maybe you can advise me with any solutions?
By the way my phone is only like 10 days old and I baby it.. it's just ridiculous.

yes I can help
you got 2 solutions.
-Take it off original screen protector. (I know it's a pain for you but it is a choice)
-Buy another screen protector and put it on top. Stain WILL disappear.
My recommendation for you is GearMaxx (front and back). That is a top of the line product.
I have removed the original screen protector (which is a pain). Tomorrow I will receive my Glass-M screen protector and try it out. It's supposed to have very good fingerprint protection. A bit more expensive but seems like a good product.
Though I am also gonna order a bottle or two of the Fisso product you mentioned. Funny you mentioned it because I first saw it just a few minutes ago on another site. Also got good reviews I've seen. Albeit a tad expensive.

Oh removing the back protector on my old Z was a nightmare I don't want to go through that hell again ever. Putting a second protector on top looks like is the only opt to me for now as the Fusso coating is meant for glass surfaces only, maybe it will harm the protector or won't work properly idk.

I think it only works properly on naked glass so the protector has to be removed. Though indeed it was a pain and took me about an hour with acetone and knife. Though I miss the oleophobic coating a lot.

Bought the fusion crystal case from Ringke:
GOOD:
- Completely transparent to show off Z5P's sexy back
- Grip is pretty solid
- Caps for both the headphone jack and the USB port provides additional protection for when you have that occasional dip in the pool.
- Looks premium; doesn't look cheap
- Has these four little bumpers at the back to prevent the case from being scratched when put on a flat surface
- Volume rocker and power rubbers can be easily pressed
- Scratch-resistant (so far)
- Comes with free screen protectors for both front and back
BAD:
- Fingerprint magnet (so you need to wash it after a hard day's use)
How is that and where did you get it from?
I have this one as well. Ordered from Amazon. Took forever to arrive, I think it is just becoming available. Very happy with it. Really zero complaints. Came with front and rear PET screen cover that work nicely to protect the back (didn't use it on the front, already had another screen protector). The insert said this was to prevent visual artifacts. It's a nice bonus.

didn't use the screen protectors as i also already have my front screen protector and i don't want to cover the glass effect at the back. the back protector was matte so it covers the mirror back and i've always used the back as a mirror.
when i put on the back protector is clear as i can still see the mirror, after removing the top layer sticker which is part (2) my back protector goes matte. i suddenly feel so disappointed. the matte back looks nice but i still prefer the mirror back. im struggling should i remove the back protector as it is a very good quality and when i stick it on theres very little bubble and easy to take out those bubble.

Really? The back tempered glass of Rignke removes the glass effect in the back side?
U should test with another screen protector like Nillkin or Rhidon

No it doesn't. I am using a Ringke case with the back screen protector now and it's a perfect mirror.
It's not actually a tempered glass screen protector it's a very thin layer that (supposedly) prevents a rainbow effect occurring if you use the Ringke case - but of course it also provides some protection as well.
No idea what this person did ... maybe they somehow forgot to remove the protective packaging?

Got mine yesterday, smoke black, and my pone looks great. You have to use the back cover and everything will work and look as intended. Good qualiy case but a bit pricy
This is the best case for z5p. Its not over protected, but just enough. Also fits perfect.
Huge fan of Ringke Fusion cases in general, as I used them on few of my past phones. I will go as far as saying this is probably the best case of this clear/hybrid type in general, beating even the Spigen Ultra Hybrid which is quite hyped case. I find Ringe Fusion extremely precisely built, with perfect cutouts, and also the button cover sections are very easy to press, and you perfectly feel the "click" underneath. One more thing I like, is that the surface is so gentle to wipe, and not sticky at all, like some kind of oleophobic coating for plastic is there. I'm using the smoke black version on my Z5P, and I love it, along with matt protector for back side which takes away some of the mirror effect, but also reduces smudges and dust visibility.

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.

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.

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.

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
Hi folks,
I'm used to using TGSP, and I bought one of the OP TGSPs for the 6T, but for now I'm leaving it unopened. I actually like the factory-applied plastic film, except for the fact that it picks up scratches so easily.
Is there a more durable or self-healing plastic that has that same slick feel and edge-to-edge coverage? I'd like to replace my factory one with a similar-but-less-scratchable alternative without adding the thickness of glass and without losing edge to edge coverage.
I've read lots of these threads but there are so many opinions and most of the action is around TGSP.
I'm in the US, so please focus on ones available here.
My current best guess from Amazon is the IQ Shield one.
Thanks!

Been using the one you posted for a month now and it's great. Perfect fit and even covers a lil bit of extra room at the bottom so if you're using nav gestures you won't be peeling at the bottom of it.
I used to use Armor Suit film protectors exclusively on all of my phones. May want to give them a look. I never had any issues with them at all.

I'm using that one now. Closest to the stock one. Doesn't scratch easy at all. First try had 3 specks under by earpiece. 2nd attempt I have 1 speck in middle but it's liveable. I would definitely recommend it. The tgsp just blocks the edges. I didn't even have to retain fingerprints
Ok, I ordered it. Will install this weekend. Kinda scared to remove the factory one but it's already scratched after a month, and my phone lives in a case most of the time.
Will report back how it goes. Is it wet apply or dry?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
Last night I removed the pre applied protector and put on the IQ shield one. It was an easy wet apply process. Got it on fine though maybe close to a mm too low; after it had mostly dried out by this morning I had a bit of an edge at the bottom where the screen curves. I burnished it down and hope it will stay. The protector is pretty full coverage, with a notch for the camera.
It was easy to work out the few bubbles while everything was wet, and I looked at the phone on edge using light reflections to see bumps to be squeegeed out. As expected there was some distortion while it was still wet, so I just set the phone aside until morning.
Fast forward 10 hours, and the distortion is gone. There is a definite orange peel "microbump" effect on the screen protector surface; hopefully that will diminish as it continues to dry out.
It's also not as slick as the original pre applied protector, at least not yet.
Let's see how it goes and will report back in a few days.

Approaching 48 hours. The IQShield protector is doing well. It feels a bit slicker to my touch than it used to, perhaps due to a slight haze of finger oils after being used for a while, or perhaps because it's fully dry now.
It still has the orange peel ripple effect on the surface. I'm attaching a picture of what a reflection of light looks like on it, so you can get an idea:
View attachment 4696222
The material is soft; if you drag a fingernail across it, it will leave a trail until it squishes back out. This is the "self healing" property. Reminds me of the coating on the screen protector I had on my 3T.
I was hoping for a smoother, "harder" surface with the IQShield, but it is a high quality product. If you are looking for a full coverage plastic screen protector and like the slightly squishy self healing type, this one is a no brainer. Excellent wet apply process and it seems robust. If you are looking for "a replacement for glass, but something that won't break" this probably isn't for you.
I'm going to live with it for a month or two and see how I feel. I may eventually remove it and replace with a glass TGSP.

Thanks for your review/input. I was torn between this or the Skinomi one. I had a TGSP before from Omotion with the oem case and it landed face first and cracked the digitizer because it sat flush with the lip of the case. It was my kinda my fault though because I knew this and was waiting on my Rhinoshield bumper and couldn't wait to slap on my TGSP. Anyways got it fixed and always kinda wanted the orangy look because I never could afford Zaggs years ago [emoji38]

I remember the Zagg protectors! Had one on my DroidX in ~2010. Good product but it absorbed dye from my holster case and got gradually darker in regions of it where it had most contact with the inside of the holster. I sent it back eventually and got a free replacement; good warranty. I hope this IQShield one won't darken...
Plastic protectors need 7 to 10 days to settle down and give a glass like feeling

Couple weeks in now. Really liking the self healing protector. Sure it has a bit of orange peel effect but that doesn't impact use. It has held up well so far.

I will have the wet imak film protection any time now, though I wonder if I apply it or keep the stock one.
For people who applied third party film protection do you recommend it or no difference with stock?
IQshield is self healing and soft squishy not flat like the stock one. I like it after some use.

Doesn't fully cover the visible screen area, same as many cheaper protectors.
Im in the same boat as OP.
Really liked the pre-applied screen protector the 6T came with (does Oneplus not sell that one?)
Lasted about 2 months, but I really liked how clear it was.
I ordered the IQ Shield one, and while good, it has the orange skin effect going on that the included didnt have. Any recommended options for clear flim protectors for the 6T?

Yep, put mine on today, it sucks. Doesn't cover the whole screen, makes it look a little grainy, just a crappy product. Yeah maybe it's super strong but what's the point of it makes using the device a poor experience?
