S6 Edge screen protection for UK - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Only had my S6 Edge 2 weeks, only been using it a few days as I wouldn't take out the house til I had my case and screen protector.
Case is good but the screen has already split just above the speaker.
I bought the Taken tempered glass from Amazon for £12, it's already cracked and I haven't dropped it or nothing. Also you can hear crackling as I use the phone, so I just don't think it's a very good one
I've been Googling non stop for best screen protector and everything I am finding, can't find any of them on amazon UK website.
Can anyone recommend me a good one that's on amazon UK website please

Anyone please. Any suggestions or anything?

PSA: Do not buy tempered glass screen protectors from Amazon

I just wanted to warn anyone who has the phone, I have ordered 4 different tempered glass screen protectors from Amazon and they were all labeled "huawei p9 plus" but once they arrive they are for the regular p9. they might fix this eventually but as of today 5/27/16 they seems to be selling the same thing with different packaging. here are the one i bought that did not fit.
http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-plus-S...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-G-C...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-P9-Plu...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
I will try and contact the sellers and see if they plan on getting the correct size and will update here when i hear back.
thanks for the heads up
do you where to buy a good one ?
Unfortunately the P9 plus don't come with factory installed screen protector film. Im looking to buy one online but the Nillkin ones does not cover the curved part of the screen

I still havent found anywhere in the US to get a good tempered glass for the plus. I have ordered some from ebay... but they probably wont be here for another 10-20 days since its coming from china lol.
Finally received on today that is actually for the p9 Plus! now it is the same as the previous poster said NILKINs was, it does not go all the way to the edges due to the curved screen edge but It works great for me and is closer than any other ones i have ordered. I still have some on the way so if i get one better i will let you guys know.
heads up, It does comes from china, took 7 days for it to get to me.. thats not bad!

I received one of these from ebay today, looks pretty decent and seems to be the right size. I haven't fitted it yet as I got a custom (non tempered glass) matte screen protector fitted at a shopping mall while waiting for this to arrive. I may fit the tempered glass one depending on how I get on with the matte one.

Anything new concern P9+ in tempered glass screen protector or wallet case?
hi, can anyone confirm whether they've found a P9 Plus screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone? I know earlier two members said they might have found them but neither had put the glass on yet. i ask because i got two here in HK, and neither actually fit the phone's front completely (it does cover 95% of the screen, while not covering the side bezels at all... it just looks ugly because you can see the edges of the protector looking at the phone straight on). i suspect most sellers are passing off P9 screen protectors as P9 Plus ones, as the OP mentioned, this has happened on eBay too.

Screen protectors?

Anyone found a decent screen protector for this thing?
There isn't a tempered glass screen protector for Galaxy View. which would easily be the best out there. There is plastic screen protectors which can be bought from Amazon USA or UK.
I bought one from USA this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017KZI3YW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's bit tricky to put it on and a bag from China https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018W0O0MI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'll give that one a try. Thanks. Reading the reviews on all the protectors available for this thing is discouraging.
It's very difficult to apply a plastic screen protector on galaxy view. I ruined my £18 screen protector I bought from USA because it was too difficult to put on. I'm not worried since my tablet screen doesn't have a single scratch at all without it
The illumishield installed good for me. Took a lot longer than any I've ever installed since it's a huge screen but it's bubble free with no flaws in it.

3D GLASS Curved screen for Samsung Galaxy S8

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.

:good:
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!

Otterbox Symmetry and screen protectors

Hello all, Daughter has just bought herself an S7, and a Symmetry case. We cannot for love nor money find a glass screen protector that is suitable with this case! I have bought at least 4 different ones, and have come to the conclusion that there are none they either won't fit at all.' or slide right off once the case is on.
I reckon the only way to go is with a film one. Any recommendations? I looked at IQ Shield on eBay, but I am in Ireland and not prepared to pay €30 shipping :laugh:
I truly wouldn't bother. The film ones end up peeling up at the corners and/or looking crappy after a few months anyway. The gorilla glass on the S7 is pretty damn durable, don't even worry about it.
I went through like 20 different screen protectors of various brands between me (S7 edge), my wife (S7 flat) and my mother (S7 flat) before giving up entirely. None of them fit right, none of them stick forever. We've all gone well over a year without a screen protector and none of our phones have significant scratches whatsoever. Just tell your daughter not to put her phone in the same pocket with her keys, don't lay it face-down on rough surfaces, etc. Just generally be good to her phone and it'll be fine.
The problem isn't the case, which is one of the many S7 cases I have. The problem is the curved screen.

bad glass i use nilkin cp+ pro
I got a nilkin tempered glass and it was a very good quality protector. I live in Mexico so they don't really sell anything related to the phone, but found a seller in a local platform, was a bit pricy (20 USD ~) but was delivered within 2 days. The only problem with the protector was that the black border looks cool, but serves no real purpose and it covers a bit of the screen. One day I left the phone laying in my bed and somehow the screen protector got 3 horrible cracks out of nowhere. I was really happy with it and willing to get another one, but now my local seller is gone, and now I ordered those PULEN protectors from the US because it was the closest option to me. I'm currently waiting for them to be delivered.
I hate glass with black borders because its hard to place it perfectly and not get in the way of the screen.
I brought this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000040307494.html
Super cheap, no borders and the quality is decent, would recommend taking this into consideration if you are looking to ditch black borders.
as i mentioned, i can only order from Amazon
