So like me i am sure you all went thru a lot of glass and plastic screen protectors for your galaxy S7 and nothing fits right or feels same.
Here is a new one by CORAL

Here is a video review by our own ebpman

Hopefully i was able to help you all out!
EDIT UPDATE:
Review for the Coral Tempered Glass
#1 Looks 8/10- It dosent look exactly like the phone, so its like putting a case for the front as well. However dont get me wrong it does look very good so i will give it an 8 since it does not preserve the samsung color all the way but it comes very close.
#2 Design: Idk how i can rate this one. It is shaped just like the phone screen so thumbs up i guess.
#3 Functionality: Flawless touch screen experience. This field will get 10/10
#4 Compatibility: Already tried it with other cases, about 5 of them (i work at Verizon) and it works well with all of them. I can see it being a problem with some off brand super tight cases though. I tested it with UAG, Incipio, Speck, Spigen, Case Mate.
#5 Protection: It makes my phone feel very secure and is a solid over all product. so this is one place it gets 10/10 for sure. It is 0.26 MM which is thinner than 0.33 MM regular glass we are used to but if the glass was any thicker i dont think the cases would fit it, so i do believe its the perfect thickness.
Overall its a 9 depending on how it does with my cases but i am sure it ill pass with flying colors.
Will do a more in depth review once i get back home from work tonight or tomm. Will post pictures
I am using it with an otter-box commuter right now and its working great. Also idk how many of you saw this but here is the video of our very own ebpman who did a review on one as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Fzelt0l9s
Another review by @seoulbrova https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70dP...ature=youtu.be
P.S: I have more cases coming in oblique and caseology and all so ill post how those work with this here.
These companies should probably have options where the samsung logo gets hidden.

would you really like that?? i kind prefer mine as if there is nothing on the screen to preserve the orignal look. But then i am also the person whos like BEFORE and is against the after
Ordered one, hope it's as nice as it looks.
Are there any distributors of Coral products in Canada? The shipping costs bring this to about $60 CDN, which seems a bit high for me. Also, is Coral associated with Leaf (perhaps owned by them)?
I wanted to order this, but even with the $5 off coupon, it adds up to $30+. They charge $4.50 for first class mail shipping, which is ridiculous. $32 for a screen protector is a bit rich.

Please let us know how it fits! It seems like all the manufacturers are having problems with those curved edges with not only tempered glass, but also PET. Those slightly curved edges are making it difficult to find any screen protector that is full screen and doesn't have edge lifting or issues with cases. This is the first company with a full screen tempered glass protector that actually has a video of it on the s7 and addresses those issues. Still, it will be good to hear from someone that has tested it first hand that isn't paid by the company.

Is it ? everytime i ship something using first class mail it always ends up being over $5 honestly i cant comment on the weight as idk if i have ever shipped anything which weighs like a tempered glass but oh well i wont complain if it works properly, otherwise back it goes lol.
Whats with colored screen protectors this time around?
Are they trying to hide the rainbow effect?
I can confirm that this tempered glass protector would fit as advertised because i bought the plastic ones and they fit perfectly. Heres the link. I purchased one and should arrive in a week. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17175543...49&var=470968620531&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Just bought the gold, will update on how it looks.

Interesting, is that a knockoff Zagg? Not that the brand matters. As long as it fits, protects the screen and doesn't interfere with the touch sensititivy, I don't care about the brand. Maybe mfg finally figured out how to make these for the curved glass. However, the title states for Samsung Galaxy S6 S7 and I've seen plenty on Amazon that state full coverage for Galaxy S7. Then based on reviews, it seems they just rebranded an S6 protector. It does state beneath the title, [tested on Galaxy S7], and also gives the option to select S6 or S7. I hope it fits! If so, it means that there will be a lot more of these available and prices will come down. If you bought the PET one, did you notice any edge lifting?
@ -Gir-, in the video it actually shows the rainbow effect, so no, I don't think that's it. Maybe it helps with aligning it? I don't know, and it does seem sort of unnecessary. The one in the ebay link also has colored borders.
Dam, no getting these in the UK? I checked the site and they only ship to the states.

I am waiting on the glass one to arrive. I bought a 3 pack of the plastic ones and stuffed one of them up but second one fit on perfectly. Using a Spigen case and no screen lifting. Touch sensitivity is smooth as it is off. No problems at all
I got my onyx s7 yesterday, 1st day out of the house. Rocking a spigen case (need to change the case, rear is clear plastic and very slippy) add to that the screen is naked, im scare of breaking it.
Ive akways had tempered glass on my s5 and had no issues. ordered the crystal spigen but desperate for a tempered glass one in the uk
will wait for a price drop, they sell other items on amazon for much less. obviously this will be higher than most but hoping a small drop will happen soon
keep us posted on field tests

Looks like that one only ships in Australia, which is shame for me here in Canada. The price seems much better than the one from Coral, but maybe there is a quality difference. If I was in Oz I would likely order this one and try it out. The price of the Coral one is too high for me to order it right now.

Thanks, but looks like that one also only ships within Oz. I decided to order this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Galaxy-Protec...458707412&sr=8-8&keywords=screen+protector+s7
I'll report back once I get it and (try to) install it.

Hope that Jetech works for you! Just checked again on Amazon and it looks like there are quite a few options now with the same description as the Coral one; namely 9H hardness, oleophobic coated and full coverage (Sorry, can't add urls, newbie poster, long time browser). Also, all seem to have the colored borders. Prices seem to range from about $8.99-$29.99 (Checked Amazon UK and there seems to be a few on there too!). I have noticed that like the Jetech, most of these state the thickness is 0.3 mm, which one reviewer stated made pressing the home button difficult for his fat fingers. Curious to know if anybody else has had that issue before. It seems this is a common thickness for the tempered glass. My last one had a gap under the home button so it wasn't an issue.
@ Leeum, thanks for the update on the fit of the plastic ones. Good to know you didn't have issues with edge lift with the Spigen case.
@ StickyGeko, I had the same case and almost dropped it first day! Immediately ordered another case and only kept that one on there long enough for the new one to arrive. Ended up going with the Spigen Slim Armor. Still a bit smooth for my liking, but it seems to have just a bit more padding.

I'm currently running this combo and I honestly don't believe that I could be happier with anything other than my Black UAG case with the "Nillkin Amazing H+" Tempered Glass Protector. Everything looks GREAT, feels like it could be an oem "industrial" variant of the Note 3, and best of all, SUPERIOR protection all around the phone. I feel much, much more confident about the security and durability of my phone now that I've got it completely wrapped up all the way around. The Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP is a very solid, yet buttery smooth, screen protector that bonds to the screen sooooo well that no one else even knows that I've got a TGP on the front screen. The edges of this protector are sooo smoothly rounded over to where it meets the edges of my Note 3 that you don't really feel any gap in screen coverage at all. You can run your fingers up the side of the phone and they just glide right on up and over to the front of the phone ALMOST without even knowing that the TGP and the frame of the phone are totally separate pieces.
At first I was skeptical that this would work with my UAG case because before I had any kind of screen protector on the phone, it was already a very tight squeeze to fit it in the UAG case. I felt almost certain that any added thickness to the phone itself(the thickness of the TGP) would render my UAG case useless, but that was not the case. Yea, it took a tad bit more wiggling the phone around while trying to stuff it in the UAG case, but it popped right on in there just fine.
Everything fits together just wonderfully and I'm 100% satisfied that I went this route. I have no doubt in my mind that my VERY expensive Note 3 is protected from any drops, scratches, etc.(...not waterproof though =/ ) about as well as it's ever gonna be. Before I had my phone wrapped in this kinda of stellar protection, I would hardly let anyone use my phone for anything at all, let alone even touch it! But now, I feel comfortable enough that I don't hardly hesitate when 4-year old son asks me if I will let him hold my phone to flip through picture albums, watch his favorite movies and TV shows, play Angry Birds, or even draw me a silly picture with the S-Pen. If I ever, and that's big "IF", find myself in the market for a case/screen protector combo for this phone again in the future, I can just stop the search right there, dead in its tracks.....I'll be ordering the UAG case and Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector and calling it a day!!
....and one more thing....you better believe it...given the product availability and high rate of tech advancements we're currently experiencing, this combo WILL be part of my "arsenal" of accessories for my next phone, whatever that may be...Note 4?

So tempted to get one too after seeing so many positive reviews on UAG case. But there's one thing that bothers me according to some reviews on amazon, has UAG revised on the design and left a cutout for the thermal sensor below the bottom right of the bezel?

I have the same combo but my tempered glass is brando 00.2mm. No problems with fitting and doesnt bury the home button. You will not even notice that it is tempered glass since it is soooo thin. I suggest you consider it.

Where did you get your Nillkin TPG? I've looked on ebay but they all ship from China. I know they are Chinese but I fell more comfortable when they ship from the US. UAG cases are awesome btw. I have the white and black one.

I ordered mine with my Amazon Prime account in the weeeee hours of Thursday, January 16th around like 3:00am-4:00am and got a knock on my door from the UPS man the very next day, Friday, January 17th around 2:45pm....that right there is why I LOVE Amazon Prime!! =) Given that, you don't need to worry one bit about putting your money out there on Ebay to a sketchy/iffy merchant on the other side of the planet in China, while not really knowing if you'll receive your order in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month...or hell, quite possibly not even at all !! That's why I always try my darndest to stick with the "Fulfilled by Amazon" items on Amazon.com. Sooooo, anyway...lol...I got a little side-tracked there...my bad! :silly:
Anyway, what I was gettin at, was where I got my Nillkin TGP. I ordered it on Amazon and it was a "Fulfilled by Amazon" item, so I didn't have much of anything to worry about there. Just to make things a LOT quicker and a little bit more simplified for ya, I'll point ya in the right direction. Seriously though, click the link to Amazon at the bottom of this post, check out the Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP listing, gravitate the cursor on over towards the right side of the page and click "Add to Cart" and be done with it. A few days later when you receive it and carefully install it, you'll be looking this thread up to tell us just the same type of things that I also mentioned in my previous post..guaranteed.(Well, assuming that everything went well regarding your order, packaging quality, and item shipment, etc.)
Yea, it may only have a few customer reviews SO FAR, but take that with a grain of salt. As soon as I can get a spare chance, I'll also be adding my review for this Nillkin TGP. So don't hesitate to order one of these! Assuming that you know how to install it properly, or at least if you don't already know, do your homework and read all the advice here on these forums, read the instructions that come in the package (if you need to) and take your time putting it on your screen and you should be as happy of a customer as I am! Sooo, anyway, here's the link,,,,finalllllyyyy!!! lol :good:
Amazon: "Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Protector"
So I had one of these put on my S7 today at BB, and there's a curve at the edge of the screen so it doesn't stick down, I thought the screen protector would relax but it has not. to top it off, after going into my pocket a few times, I've got dust/lint sticking to the edges of the screen protector. I think I might need to run without one for now and return this thing.
Anyway, I don't recommend the glass one, its nice, but it won't conform the the curve of the screen on the edges.
Zagg's website says they don't have a glass screen protector for the S7 yet. When they do it will be curved so it matches the screen. If you check they will even give you the option of having them email you when they get it in.

I bought one at Best Buy yesterday, its on my phone. I guess I need to check the box and make sure they grabbed the right one.
Please post a picture. Thanks for the info btw
Here are the pics, luckily I still have my G3 lol.
Its already collecting lint and dust from my pocket, hasn't been 24 hours.
Can confirm. Went in yesterday and they had the Zagg for $35 and the Verizon version for $30. Went with the Verizon and have the same issue where the glass won't lay flat... Might have to go plastic instead.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/zagg-invisibleshield-glass-for-samsung-galaxy-s7/
Wow...that sucks...$35 and still deal with it not laying right! I guess I'm glad I bought a cheapie from eBay for $4.50. It has a halo, but I can't think of not protecting the screen on this beauty. I have one of the TechMatte ones coming that's supposed to be curved to match the screen. I'll let ya know if that one is better...

Yeah I'm going back to get the plastic one until the curved one is out.
Here's the box, so I'm wondering if they put some out not knowing the screen was curved?
Yeah they are there at Best Buy and they are definitely for the S7, they all do not fit properly not sure why they bothered releasing them.

How do you get a review unit?
I too will confirm the zagg glass ones do not fit well on the edges. I can also confirm that the zagg plastic "hdx defense" ones also do not sit 100% flat on the screen, the edges of it do not touch (but not as bad as the glass). I've had both on my S7 in the last 48 hours. I'll stick with this plastic crap for now since it covers better. But, they definitely need to fix that.

*cough* - uh - that's for the S7, not the S7 Edge, different product. Not surprised it doesn't fit correctly.
That's not even the correct screen protector. The one for the curves in called the "glass contour edge-to-edge", which you don't have because it isn't released yet.
Doesn't take a whole lot of effort to read their website before you purchase:
http://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/shop-by-device/galaxy-s7-accessories
Looks like he has the correct screen protector to me. He did say s7, not s7 edge.
Problem is, the s7's screen is also slightly curved, and so far it seems no one making these screen protectors is accounting for that. I've paid ($7 if memory serves) for BB to install glass shields before for this very reason. It's their bad if it doesn't stick properly and I'm not out the $40. I've watched them put 3-4 protectors on before, before finally getting one on right. If it doesn't work out, I wouldn't pay for it. I'd go back and get a refund. Especially if it's never going to fit correctly because Zagg released a premature product.
Seems to be a common theme for all protectors that have been released so far.

I have been back to BB every day this week since getting my phone Monday. i only got the zagg hd protector and its the same issue i pointed it out to them and they were like no they just didn't put it on right. and to top it off. IF you get the otter box commuter series case it's design is flawed in how much the front edges of the phone just enough that when put on even after the 24-48 hour drying period of protector put on it conflicts with the edging of the protector and pushes it up the fight each other. the otter box Symmetry series how ever is designed just right and meets the edge of the protector and does not push on it what so ever. be cautious of case vs screen protector.

Yeah, how stupid of me to assume the screen protector they had, which was labeled for the phone they were selling me would fit. I would have thought Zagg would have had the thing in advance to get it right.
Good grief. Try to help other people and catch hell for it.

Interesting, I went back yesterday and had them put an HD one on instead and they couldn't get it on straight and then when they tried to fix he got dirt and lint under it. After a half hour of watching the dude struggle with it I said the hell with it and returned it and am running without one right now until the correct one is ready.
Yeah, how stupid of me to assume the screen protector they had, which was labeled for the phone they were selling me would fit. I would have thought Zagg would have had the thing in advance to get it right.
Good grief. Try to help other people and catch hell for it.

Even though I have the 7 Edge, I did get the 7 for my daughter, so thanks for the heads up man. I'm sure others appreciate it as well. Cheers.
What 3d glass screen have everyone ordered? Please share on this thread, my screens should be coming soon!!
I'm not a fan of glass screen protectors on a curved screen. There is always to much glare.

I haven't bought one yet, but I'll be getting most of my info from this YouTube channel. This guy does quality reviews.
For example, see this video about the Olixar glass screen protector:
https://youtu.be/o2R1YEX4yrw
He's already stated that he'll be reviewing several glass screen protectors for the S8+, and I think most of the information should apply to the S8 as well.
i bought the olixar one only, says case compatible. Lets see when it comes if it fits with the spigen thin armor.

Sucks that the Amazon link he posted, the item's unavailable. Hopefully it'll come back in stock. Curious about other glass protectors and if they're case-friendly. This one does look promising though.

Another one to look at as well. I actually am currently using one of their glass screen protectors for my S6. Haven't had any issues with it, so also good to know.
Anyone try the Zagg yet? It supposed to have full screen adhesive, hoping to see some user reports though since its $50.
Don't do it!

I went out to Best Buy yesterday to get the Invisible Shield Glass Curve by Zagg and was not impressed. I'm going to try and return it in a couple hours..
The touch response is horrendous. I almost want to call Zagg directly and suggest they pull all these products from stores because I'm sure many people will not be happy.

Zagg isn't even special. they just came around the market early with heavy marketing tactics. Uses the "it cost more , must be better gimmick."

Thanks, looks like I will just go with a plastic protector. I've got a glass one on now but the touch sensitivity is pretty ****ty.
Not a great cover

I'm in the same boat with this screen protector. I put it on last night. I appreciated the little frame to help you guide it, but the screen response is crap. There is one section that I have to forcibly push down for it to register. There are some parts that lift and you can hear the plastic coming down to make contact with the screen when being touched. Not the best fit, and for $50 it better be perfect. Calling Best Buy after work to see about a return / refund. There was a $24.99 one there that I'll try next, but it didn't curve.
Just returned mine.

I just got back from Best Buy like 2 hours ago. I returned it and they asked no questions. I did, however, keep the screen on until I got there because I wanted to explain that I was afraid of breaking the screen protector upon removal. They said it was fine and to go ahead an remove it. It came off pretty easily, which made me wonder how long it would have stayed on if I would have decided to keep it. I got my $50 back and I instead bought the $24.99 I think you're talking about. Also made by Zagg called "HD Clear." Its a floppy plastic one and a lot harder to put on correctly but this is the one I had on my S6 and I loved it. Currently I have my S8 curing so the small bubbles can evaporate.
I'm wondering if after I return my Zagg I should just make a drive to the mall and visit the Ghost Armor kiosk and pay to have them put it on? Their website shows a 'case friendly' one costs $29.99 for the screen alone. Not sure how much the person putting it on would charge above that, but I've at least used them before and they also have a guarantee.
I had a tempered glass protector on my S6 that was great, but it had a flat screen so no issues. I tried 2 different tempered glass on my S7 Edge. Neither were any good so I went with a plastic shield that was OK but it's not the same as glass. I just put a Armorsuit plastic screen protector on my S8. It looks better than the one I had on my S7 Edge. If you go on Amazon and check out the reviews on the glass protectors, you see almost all bad reviews. The good reviews are probably mostly fake. I'm going to wait and see if someone finally makes a glass screen protector that actually works properly on curved screens.
I ordered the Philonext on Amazon, arriving tomorrow. I will post later on how it is.
The problem with the 3D curved tempered glass is that the adhesive they use is not like the flat glass versions. Not sure why no one can do this. If you look at all full coverage glass (had one for the LG V20, same issue) the adhesive is only on the outer most edges. Since the adhesive is like .02mm or so, the rest of the screen doesn't sit flat against the display. So this causes the user to use a bit more force to press down on the glass cover. Until someone can fully coat the glass with adhesive as the fully flat glass does, then all will suck. I bought the Verizon Full coverage glass and it's the same...bad touch sensitivity!
I ordered 2 of these for my wife's and my Galaxy S8. After applying them, I waited at least 12 hours before putting a case on my wife's phone. The edges peeled up almost immediately. I have 3 different cases, 2 Ringke and a leather wallet style. All 3 of them had the same issue, on both phones. I was looking at the reviews for this on Amazon and noticed the seller, New Tech Accessories, said that Armorsuit has released an updated version of this screen protector that has a more precise cut.
I know these protectors were very popular for the S7 Edge, so if anyone else is in the same boat, contact the seller through Amazon. Looks like they are going to exchange the defective ones.

CASE UNFRIENDLY
Same thing happened with my S8. They didn't make the case friendly version as friendly as they should have. The version for my S7edge was great. These are cut too close to the edge of the screen.

Oh no, I put an Armorsuit protector on my S8 last night. It's been on for over 12 hours but I haven't touched it yet. It looks really good on the phone. I have a Spigen ultra hybrid clear case. I hope I have better luck when I put the case on.
It shouldn't be an issue getting an exchange if you need it. Here is the reply to a user review on Amazon:
"Thank you for taking your time to leave us a feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your purchase.
It is possible that you may have received a defective item. The manufacturer ArmorSuit recently released an updated version of the screen protector for the Galaxy S8 so there is a more precise cut that is replacing the first version. It is possible that you may have still received the first version.
If you wish to place a case over your device, we recommend you allow the screen protector to completely dry for 12-72 hours.
We are more than happy to assist you with a free replacement if you would like to give our product another try.
We will gladly assist you with this issue. Please contact us through Amazon's Contact Seller Link. We are unable to assist you more deeply by reviews. Please mention this review [OR use the 'Permalink' to link us to your review] and include your Order # in your message to us. We look forward to serving you."

To my surprise I received 2 NEW improved design cut free of charge (only ordered one BTW) and didn't even ask the company for them! Getting my phone today so now I know why they sent them to me! You should be getting replacements too. If you haven't call or email them they stand behind their product!!
I have already sent them a message through Amazon.
I left mine on for 18 hours before trying with the case. It's buckled a tiny bit in the upper right corner and lower left corner. Other than that it's OK but very close to the case and I can see it possibly lifting on the edges with use. I assume I have one of the problem first batch. I'll contact them for a replacement either way just in case.
New Tech Accessories is sending me 2 new screen protectors. They did say if there were any more issues, I would have to do a warranty claim, which I don't think would be a problem. Also, they are just sending the protectors, so hopefully anyone else who is having an issue kept their squeegees and solution.
Same here. I have the zagg hd screen protector. My case came to days later and this is the result

Are you going to be putting a case on your phone? Please let us know if the new designs work.
I got my new protectors. Not only did they send me replacements for the 2 that I ordered, but they sent me 4 extra. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, will do that tomorrow.
I can verify that the new protectors fit better. Tried multiple cases and no lifting at the edges.
After a couple of days the original Armorsuit protector started lifting up around the edges from contact with my Spigen Hybrid Ultra case. They sent me two of the revised more case friendly version without me even asking. I put it on 2 days ago and it is much improved. Fits my S8 with the Spigen perfectly. It looks great except for fingerprints. I just wish they come out with a glass protector that actually works and don't cost an arm and a leg. I really prefer that glass feel. Picture is attached but it doesn't do it justice because of reflections.
I bought an Armour Suit screen protector of Ebay and had no issues installing it. It fits great and the edges are not lifting. When installing, the edges did lift slightly, but I ended up using a hair dryer to let the edges stick. After applying the spray solution, when the skin adhesive drys a bit, it helps to adhere better. Also, my case doesn't cover up the edges as much as most popular cases which helps.

You probably received the newer version. The first version was labeled as case friendly but wasn't. The newer one is actually case friendly and fits correctly. Armorsuit is sending out new protectors to those who received the non-case friendly ones.
New version working well with Spigen Rugged Armor. I recommend trying the case on during the install, while everything is still wet, to see if the corners are positioned properly. Also, don't "pull" to hard on the protector while squeegeeing it, since the material can stretch (and if it does, it will be too close to the edges and then will lift when a case is snapped on).

Maybe OP should update thread title to reflect that the new version is "a go", especially considering Armorsuit sent everyone free replacements.
Not sure how to edit the title.
Hi guys,
I purchased a hard case frim Chiba around 2 weeks ago on eBay. It cost me Β£1.29 with free delivery.
It's a lovely looking case for the price.
Fits perfect, camera has a 1mm bump to protect the lens.
Cut outs for ports are perfect.
The volume and power button looks a bit cheap when not fitted to phone but when it's on the phone they work and feel fine very easy to use the buttons.
Although it feels like a good solid fit it's abit slippy in the hands .
I am using a casebase full glass screen protector from day 1 and this case fits with the screen protector perfectly.
The phones of the case in the phone has been took by a 0.3megapixel tablet so apologies for the bad quality.
it looks good, you got the link please?
Yea a link would be cool
Yes course ?
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332294098450
Looking good. Mine arrived today and it's also a China hardcase for a low price (1.42β¬).
The only noticeable difference to yours seems to be the 'slits' at the edges on mine:

Nice case.
These china made cases are pretty good for the price seriously can not complain.
I like the genuine cafele cases from China but I don't think they have made 1 for the oneplus 5 yet

Yes alot of the China cases show wrong cutouts but they are all correct when received.
I was debating on getting this case. Does it come with the screen protector?
When you receive would you mind posting up some pictures please.
