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.

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.
Hi Guys,
Since there is no good tempered glass or screen protector available for the S7(not edge), Spigen has one but that's way too expensive and I wasn't able to find an authentic one in the market. Has anyone tried protectors and skins by GadgetShieldz? Here's the link-
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
The plus is that if the product is as good as they are describing then it covers the sides too. The con is that there is no actual proof or hands on video regarding the same+it is still expensive atleast for me but there's no other alternative.
Thanks
I just ordered the matte and the ultra clear screen protectors. I didn't buy the body because I have a Rhinoshield bumper and back protector. I'll post a review once they arrive.
Good product the body shield is
Have been using the Gadgetshielz full body protector for 6 months now. It is quite good and the cuts are precise. Quite a lot of work, applying them is. Be patient after applying, in a week or so, the bubbles and wobbles will sort themselves out. Was hard to believe when I completed installation and saw what a mess it was.
That doesn't look like tempered glass. I will NEVER go back to the flimsy protectors. Too many issues with bubbles, etc. But, I have yet to find a tempered glass that full covers the edges. It's more of an issue when things are right at the edges (such as text) that makes it difficult to read, but I'll take that as it's rare knowing that I have a tempered glass protector on that does a better job of absorbing the shock of a drop.
Using their screen protector, with my rhinoshield bumper case and no bubble. Wanted glass first but all those that I bought, the case lifted them or they had the big halo, lifting all around cause the curve screen.

Thanks mate. I bought two and will report when it arrives
So, here's why review-
Finally ordered them. It was my first time that I was installing any sort of protector and I was super nervous. The protector kept coming off. I had to wet it with the solutions many times. I drove out the bubbles as many as I could but the end result was way too foggy and messy. But after 48 hours everything was gone, except few dust and fingerprints particles which are my fault BTW there's a huge particle of dust on the back button. Can I lift it up just a tad to remove it? I still have the solution, I am planning to wet it to reapply. Will it work?
Also can anyone suggest a good cover for S7? My current one is a chinese one, but I think it will remove the side protectors if I take the phone out few times because with the side protectors the sides bulge out a bit. @r3xx3r @ere1nion
Any way to get the same cover in India?

I searched for a month, ordered like 10 different tempered glasses from various websites but they all sucked. GS's protector is not a glass but it is the best alternative to a glass.
An out of context question, what are these four stripes/white lines located on the top and bottom side of the phone for? Just along the charger and speaker in the photos below-

Those plastic lines are antenna separators. The frame of the phone is used for different antennas, so they must be separated.

Not full coverage as per the reviews-

An update, I used my phone with the Samsung Gear VR yesterday and when I removed it the protector from the upper side of the phone, where the front camera is got removed I tried to paste the same but it is full of bubbles now . Is anyone else using GS's protector with VR?

Correct it is not. I use the Otterbox Commuter and Otterbox Defender so this is not an issue for me particularly. I had a partial screen protector on already so no shift in change for me there either. I just received mine in the mail today. The back application was by far harder than the front. I didn't get it perfect. It's the material used on the back. I will not be testing this screen protector but I feel confident with it on. Hopefully it will never need to prove itself.
So, my protector is screwed thanks to Gear VR, it kept on removing the upper part of the protector every time I put the phone in the Gear VR or took it out. Has anyone tried the so called buff guard(a type of tempered glass) which covers the whole screen even the edges? Is there any alternative for the GadgetShieldz protector?
My wife just upgraded to an S7 (tried the Moto Z and it was too big, bulky and heavy for her). She wanted a tempered glass screen protector, but not like the one I have (which doesn't cover the entire screen due to the curved edges of the S7).
After much research, I found the amFilm glass protector was one that was listed in many top-10 lists as being excellent. This covers the entire glass but gives room on the edges for cases. My wife has a Speck Candyshell case for her phone and the screen protector works fine with it. My only issue with it is that on the top and bottom (which is fully protected), it's colored. So you have to choose the correct color based on your phone (black or gold). I don't understand why it has to be colored. Why not make it all clear so you can see the actual color of the phone? But it DOES cover the entire screen unlike the earlier brands that came out. And it was very easy to apply and there are no bubbles at all. Touch response is excellent from what I could tell. I tested it and couldn't find any "soft" or "blind" spots that didn't react and I just lightly touched, so it was pretty good. I'll wait and see how it goes with my wife after she's had it for awhile. It also comes with a lifetime warranty for the purchased product. That means, and they state this in the documentation that comes with the protector, that the warranty does NOT apply to a warranty replacement item. So that means, if you've swapped out your initial purchase with a warranty item, you'll have to purchase a brand new screen protector to get a lifetime warranty again. That is pretty standard across most things like this, so I have no complaints.
Here is the gold colored one that I ordered and installed since she has a gold S7:

Thanks for such a detailed review. There are many protector glasses of that sort available in India, all of them are manufactured in china, but not the brand which you have mentioned. The reviews of the chinese one's is pathetic. So, I didn't go for them. Can you please check and confirm whether the phone fits fine in Gear Vr with the protector that you have installed or not?
This one, though its for the Edge model, looks tempting but I will wait for an early bird's review before ordering the one for the non-Edge version which should be available by tomorrow-

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.

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.

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!
Hello,
I recently bought a Nokia 7 plus and as I don't want to break it, I'm searching for a case and a tempered screen to protect it.
Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere a tempered screen designed for the Nokia 7 plus. Moreover, Nokia doesn't even have official
cases for this model.
The only case that fits me is the Nokia 7 plus case cover frosted from NILLKIN, there is not much to choose from.
Where did you buy your tempered screen and case?
Thanks,
Try AliExpress.
Cause Nokia 7 plus Chinese version starts sell one month ago, there are bunches of cases and tempered screen on taobao (AliExpress).
Haven't found a good case / screen protector yet.
I just ordered the liquid nano screen protector stuff from Spigen - I know the liquid screen protector stuff is hotly debated, but according to many reviews it at least provides SOME protection - its obviously not going to be as good as a dedicated glass screen protector.
For cases, I'm still using the one it shipped with (in Germany) while I look for a high quality new one (cough SPIGEN cough..).
Keep us posted if you find a high quality nice case!

Hello,
I recently bought a Nokia 7 plus and as I don't want to break it, I'm searching for a case and a tempered screen to protect it.
Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere a tempered screen designed for the Nokia 7 plus. Moreover, Nokia doesn't even have official
cases for this model.
The only case that fits me is the Nokia 7 plus case cover frosted from NILLKIN, there is not much to choose from.
Where did you buy your tempered screen and case?
Thanks,

Hey zambda, about that Nillkin case for the Nokia 7 Plus, does it have raised bezels so that the screen is kind of protected when I lay the phone down on the front side?

Alright thank you very much! I'll hear from you!
Is there no case included in the box? or was that only for certain countries?

I got the European version and it indeed included a basic transparent silicone case.
Yeah i'd love a spigen tough armor case for it, it's such a great youtube device having a case with built in stand is perfect.

No, it's on the same level as the glass. Only protects side and back. Not the top and bottom.
Screen protector is to small and not really protective.

Not sure if it is allowed to post links (I hope), but I'm waiting for my Nokia 7 Plus, and I also wanted to add some nice protection on it. What is that liquid screen protector? Where can I buy it here in Germany? And what is about that Spigen protectors? Are they better?

I got the liquid screen protector from amazon.de as well. It came overnight! The one I got is actually also made by spigen.
Unfortunately the liquid is never going to be as good as an actual glass or plastic film you put over your screen, but it is definitely better than nothing. Just google (or search on amazon.de) "Spigen Liquid Nano".
I still have not, hwoever, found a good and pretty case that will ship to Germany at a reasonable time

As I said in the other post:
I got the Nillkin case from here: http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...plus-accessories/nillkin-nokia-7-plus-frosted
It took 10 days for delivery.
Case looks great, a pity it hides the Nokia logo on the back.
I buyed a brando tempered screen protector a got it. TRied to put the glass but at border at glass not fit right ( i think beacuse it litle curved a glass edges )...
just bought this today, and the units here in the Philippines do have the free transparent case. no screen protectors or tempered glass available, though
I posted some pictures of the Nillkin case in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/accessories/review-nillkin-super-frosted-shield-t3785439/post76411830#post76411830

Hi Guys,
Any suggestions on a good Tempered glass screen protector for our beloved Nokia 7 Plus?

Any suggestions or links much appreciated.
Regards.

Now Ordered a new one we'll see how it is.

Just a piece of advice...
Nano glass is BS
Yes it is. It's not glass it's just a fancy name for screen protector film..
I received two pieces and used the second one my mom's Redmi 4a.
So I kind of like it as there is no gaps on the edges but the screen is not fully covered by it. The edge is not that visible in daily use so there's that....
Kind of mixed review here. Buy it on your own risk....

Since I've already burned my fingers, here is my story..
I purchased this tempered glass from Amazon based on positive reviews it received : https://www.amazon.in/Annure%C2%AE-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector/dp/B07CF4CMH7/ref=pd_sim_107_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GBYV8AP8CSG8Y07B4CFC
I managed to apply the cover without a single bubble but since the since edges were not curved, it remained unfasten across vertical edges & after few days air gaps were filled with dust.
So I went to several phone galleries for a new one where the glasses were either not precised or tad expensive. Later I found a cheap one in a shop (Rs. 250/-) which when applied did not even stick properly to almost 25% of screen & when I told the shopkeeper to reply my old one it already attracted lots of dust so I didn't pay anything but my old glass.
Later in one shop, the shopkeeper suggested me to go for a thin screen guard which was worth Rs 400/- which is my current screen protection. Adhesive is just superb, cause when the device gets warm it sort of looses it's grip across curve (if cover is not curved) & though mine faces the same issue it either sticks automatically or by pressing once device temp goes normal & so far not a single scratch/dust (I travel in dust prone region).
The only cons is that it leaves less than 1 mm display unprotected across vertical edges but I can't complain much since the screen of this device has immediate curve at the end of display & almost 90% of currently available protectors are without precised curve.
So the conclusion is, unless you can find tempered glass with perfect & precised curves go for thin screen guard at least for now since the device is relatively new.

It was a good experience for me. Some bubbles happen while installing but bgo away in a day or 2.
Any reliable tempered glass? Can someone suggest one?
Please suggest a durable tempered glass for Nokia 7 plus in India. I don't have a problem if the edges are not covered completely or left uncovered an mm or two, since in curved edges phones it is really difficult to protect the edges from bubbles.
Like some other people already said, since Nokia 7 plus is relatively new, there is no good tempered glass available as of now. But I can suggest you a good screen protector which will protect your screen from getting scratched (ofcourse it cant protect the screen from getting cracked).

GadgetShieldz is a well-known brand for their quality products. There are plenty of videos on YouTube praising GadgetShieldz screen protectors. Although the price is a bit high, but it's worth every single penny.
