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!

So after experiencing first hand the poor figment of any tempered glass screen protectors I have deiced to create this OP. I have purchased 3 types of plastic screen protectors from amazon to see which if any will be a suitable replacement. I figured if I buy some and they are terrible I can always return them.
1. Mr Shield clear:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OD...416363968&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I had high hopes for these after buying them for my Nexus 9 and having s good experience. The ones for the Nexus 6 are a far different story. The fitting is so poor they cant cover my display. I believe that these were cut very poorly because you can't align them properly to fit even with their tiny size. They have a nice feel and are easy to swipe back and forth on while using the office but if they can't protect my screen then there's no point in having it. (Pictures coming soon)
2. iSmooth:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O3OSBHI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416364063&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
3. icarez: (coming Wednesday)
These looks just the the Mr Shield screen protectors above, except they are packaged better and come with better instructions. The downside is that they are again cut very small. I have learned that this is due to the curved nature that the ends of the display have, but its rather unfortunate that we are left with a screen that can't be fully protected. These also have a better feeling that the Mr. Shield protectors.
4. Spigen Crystal:
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Spi...533171&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+crystal+nexus+6
These are the best plastic screen protectors by a long shot. The fit and finish is far superior to any of the other brands that I have tried thus far. They are very thin compared to the other 3 I tried above. The costing allowing your fingers to slide across it with ease for people who prefer the gesture typing. The screen protector does cover the camera, and proximity sensor. Don't let this discourage you because they both work fine on my phone. The fit is much closer to the curves without causing issues. There is a fix for people with proximity sensor issues in the tempered glass OP. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a nice quality screen protector.
Update: from what I have seen, the Spigen is still your best bet. I have a couple as backups and I couldn't be happier. TG has been and still is very hit and miss but you can't go wrong with the Spigen Crystal screen protectors. I have no issues with my proximity sensor for FFC and its the only screen protector I've used since discovering it.
feel free to add your own choices and a brief description about the quality and whether or not you would recommend it.
I got the iSmooth protectors. A little difficult to install, but quite good once they're on. They feel almost like glass, they have a coating on them to prevent fingerprints too.

Pretty sure the cutout isn't for the camera, but the ambient sensor.
i ordered the invisible defenders. should be here tomorrow just ahead of the phone. never used them before as i've always gone with spigen, but since they're not shipping until next week i went with these. from a spec perspective, they sound every bit as good as the spigen crystals. i'll find out tomorrow/friday

Let us know how they are. The Spigen ones are good from past experience ( I won't buy their TG again) I hope they are offered with prime to make shipping faster.
I was planning on getting a glass protector, but after reading several posts here I see that is a bad idea.
I normally bought Zagg with my S4, but I'm not really sure what kind I want to get with my new Nexus 6. I absolutely HATE finger prints so anything that gets them easy is a no go for me.
for anyone that bought from SuperShieldz on amazon they just sent me this:
Dear Customer
We would like to inform you that the nexus 6 screen protector we sent to you is incorrect for the camera lens. The proper one will be send to you on Next Monday. Sorry and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Ann
I would stay away from the iSmooth screen protectors. Received mine today and they are not properly aligned for the front camera as the protector covers it. Only reason I'm not returning is because I need something on the phone until the other screen protectors I ordered arrive.
My Xtreme Guards had the wrong camera cutout also. If all these companies have the wrong cutout, were they given the incorrect dimensions from Motorola when they all started cutting these out?

According to iSmooth, yes that's exactly what happened.
Thank you for purchasing our Nexus 6 screen protectors and writing a review on your experience with them. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced thus far with our product. Since we are extremely fanatical about our customers, I wanted to reply back to you so I could explain the errors behind the engineering of the Google Nexus 6 screen protectors.
I will point out that in order for us to get to market by the Nexus 6's launch date sometimes we have to make an educated guess with our screen protectors. This time, we failed with our cutout design.
Below are the key points that will point out where our screen protectors were either botched or made to fit this new device and the reasoning behind it:
1.) The cutout for the camera is a full camera width to the left of the actual camera -- this is obviously a mistake. However, the clarity of the screen protector will still insure that the camera is NOT affected by the screen protector. It is just customary that the cutouts exist. However, there will still be a little notch for no reason on your screen protector. We sincerely apologize for this error.
2.) The screen protector will NOT go "edge-to-edge" but that was done on purpose as there is a curved edge on the Nexus 6.
3.) If it did go "edge-to-edge", then the screen protector will lift up on the edges as it would not properly adhere to the curved edges.
4.) We decided that 95% coverage on the phone was better than having faulty screen protectors.
5.) Our screen protectors were also meant to work with cases which means if we DID cover the edges of the screen, then the case would force the screen protector to lift and cause a lot of bubbling and ruin the screen protector.
Please know that getting a revised cut of our Nexus 6 screen protectors is top priority at iSmooth - our customers are our #1.
If you would like to receive these updated screen protector cuts when we receive them, please email [email protected] with your name, mailing address and Order Number. When we receive them we will promptly email you and mail those corrected screen protector replacements out post haste with absolutely NO charge to you.
Or, should you need anything else or have any other concerns at all, kindly contact me at that same email address - I sincerely want to help and make this situation right by you.
Have a nice Wednesday and I hope to talk to you soon,
Channele

I'm updating the OP it appears like there will be no good screen protectors that are edge to edge with the exception of wet install ones which are a nightmare. I wouldn't risk a wet install with FF speakers but that's just me. I may just get a dbrand front skin to cover the gaps.

Thats what I am worried about the most. The speakers are rather large and I've had bad experiences with wet install screen protectors. They killed my LG G Pad 8.3 (even when I barely put any solution on it, some managed to get into a small gap). Anyway I guess I'll see what else is available.
i just need any of the three screen protectors i ordered to show up. This POS one they put on the phone out of the box is killing me. I swear, would it kill moto (or any other manufacturer) to at least put a half way decent one on the device out of the box?

I prefer wet install. I get the best install. Plus isn't this phone "splash" proof? (or was that a miscommunication?)
Curious to know how many people will be putting those wet rubbery protectors on there device. I ordered three different brands but now that I think about it, do I really want to have to deal with that mess? Yes, you risk damaging your screen or scratching it but you have to change that rubbery stuff every few months. I had them on iphones and blackberries and after a few months they would get really nasty. I do have a Spigen tough case on it. The regular non rubbery screen protectors only cover the screen before the curve.
Just was curious to know what everyone was going to do. They won't arrive till later in the week, since Amazon misqouted arrival dates, so I am still mulling over it.
I've always put screen protectors on all the phones I've had before I let them out in the wild, but never those wet ones! My phone should be arriving sometime in the next few days and I already have several no-brand screen protectors (regular PET type which only cover the centre of the screen so I'll see how those go), and two Spigen cases (thin-fit smooth black and Ultra Hybrid clear). May end up opting for a tempered glass screen protector once some reviews come out. I have a tempered one on my G2, but it seriously limits the type of case I can use due to the bezels being almost non-existent so I'll wait for now.

As far as I know, there aren't any tempered glass screen protectors for the S6 edge that will cover the entire screen. They haven't figured out a way to create one yet and if they do, I think a lot of people were saying cost would be an issue, for instance someone was stating prices like $50, $75, or $100. I might put one of those center ones on but it would really be pointless if it doesn't protect the entire screen.

Like anything, if there is a demand for a product then prices will come down but you're right, initially tempered glass screen protectors could, and most likely will be expensive at first. I know there are PET screen protectors that curve around the screen, which I may try but I'd have to order them from overseas, and I'll need something to get me going. I'm always really careful with my phones and have never dropped, broken or scratched one, but it would be just my luck if I decided to let this one go naked. Right now I'm just hoping that my phone doesn't come scratched out of the box like others have experienced!
I hate non tempered glass screen protectors. Why have a beautiful screen and screw it up with a that? However, love the tempered glass ones but I seriously doubt there will be one for the edge. Ha ha.
Usually I'm only a tempered glass user but with this Edge I'll have to settle with a regular one. I bought the Invisible Shield Dry HD and I love it. It has gotten better over the years and the orange peel effect is all but gone. It's bubble free and barely noticible.

I never liked invisi shield because of this (see photos), these bubbles. Will these eventually resolve? I followed the instructions to the letter.

Not without reviews where the person actually wrote out what they thought about it, no matter how cheap it is.
Yes, I always use a screen protector. I hate bubbles though so I have to get it perfect before im happy.
I ordered a screen protector for the Edge that covers both edges for full protection. Mine is made by a company called Araree, a South Korean company.
It is shipping from Korea so I should get mine next week.

Bestbuy has them. just had one put on the other day.
Never used the wet ones but the mess doesn't sound appealing. I always get dry ones for my phone because I'd rather the cover get scratched than the screen itself. I've got a matte one that covers the edges coming from Amazon sometime this week. I'm trying matte for the first time because I like the idea of glare reduction.
I have a Zagg InvisibleShield HDX cover on my S6 Edge. Goes completely over all the edges and sits almost flush with my cover. I paid to have Best Buy apply it and they did a pretty good job. It is already starting to peel up but I'll go back and they'll re-apply it or they'll fix it with a re-application of the adhesive.
thanks

thanks you verry much
I am worried about pressure points.
with no glass cover, the aluminum edging actually makes it impossible for glass to touch the floor, no matter what angle you try at.
I am worried that, if I add 1 mm of glass on top of the current glass plate, that the thickness will rise past the aluminum case.
meaning that impacts would be redirected to the glass plate.
and not in ideal spots probably.
Ive always used tempered glass before. on flat screens.
but I have second guessed this time..
I may use a thin film.
My theories are probably not exactly correct.
the extra layer of tempered glass would probably add more strength.
I just imagine those weak points and pressure points of the glass and second guess the engineering.
while looking at the phone now.. the corners of the second glass plate would rest on an edge surface with hard material underneath,
meaning extra reinforcement..
I think I will use the tempered glass also.
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.

Here's the box, so I'm wondering if they put some out not knowing the screen was curved?

*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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey I got some news for you, this is the S7 forum. That's why I posted here talking about the S7 screen protector. You're in the wrong place.

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.

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.
I've been reading all the threads in the forum after I brought my OP 5 yesterday (supposed to arrive to me in the next 2 weeks) and I cant find any solid recommendation.
There aren't any brands making screen protectors to our devices and even less reviews.
-I saw people saying to stay away from the original screen protector made by Oneplus due to the few millimeter lost cause by it.
-I looked on the Orzly screen protector and it looked quiet well but after searching the web I saw multitude negative reviews due lack of adhesiv, dot metrix and rainbows showing up on the screen. but some other who claims the protector is completely fine
In conclusion: In the Glass screen protectors section, there is no good product that will be fine with guarantee ?
If so, there is any other kind of screen protector (not glass one's) such as Skinomi or IQ Shield that are recommended?
I have to order any kind of screen protector as soon as possible before my device will arrive.
thanks for your professional support !
Every single option, glass or TPU, sucks. The best option is the non-glass protector that ships applied to the phone. Baby that one as long as you can.

I would agree with you, when it wouldn't collect more dust than a vacuum cleaner.

Still the best, even covered in 2" of lint lol
As much as the screen protectors suck, the Orzly is stil the best of the bunch. I have it installed with no rainbow effect in the middle. Again, I think this is a case of people who have the issues are the ones you see. It depends on how you install it I guess. I know a few others who have also installed it without the rainbow, but I know people who have installed it and have had the rainbow. At least it is a fully screen protector, that doesnt cut off a millimeter of the screen basically, and at least they aren't a company that blames the user for obvious issues with their TGSP *cough* Oneplus *cough*
Take it from someone who has been through 5+ different screen protectors... About the only one that was semi worth a damn was Orzly. You run into ones that don't fill the entire screen and leave the edges exposed, don't stick, cover the front camera or ones that just flat out don't end up sticking. I wish I didn't end up taking off the one that the OP5 came shipped with but oh well lesson learned. As I said as of right now the only semi decent one is Orzly but even that one I had issues with the glue towards the edges peeling so the screen wouldn't respond because the protector was coming off the screen a little. Still though - Orzly or Manufacturer screen that was originally on the one are your best options at this point.
I really like the IQ branded film protector. I've had no problems with it and I only really notice it when I swipe along the edges and feel the film.

I'm using the clear one. It's definitely not as smooth as glass but it's smooth enough. It's more smooth than a glass screen without a oleophobic coating. Fingerprint residue is minimal. The only case I have is the sandstone one from OnePlus and I have no problems with it.

Using the clear IQ protector here too. So far it's the best I've found. I've used the official TGSP, Orzly TGSP, and a couple other cheaper TGSPs. The wet application film screen protectors are the way to go for this phone it seems. Helps a lot with finger prints and I haven't had any issues with it not being slick enough.
think ill just go nude and use a thick case lol. haven't had any scratches on my s8+ which also has gorilla glass 5.
man do i hate how all phones have curved glass of some sort.
Damn those curves.. Let's hope that maybe in a few weeks we will finally get a proper screen protector.

I went and removed the factory installed protector, it was a bad idea. Now I have small hairline scratches on the bottom right corner. I've now ordered a tempered glass in Amazon to hide the scratches.
The one that came with the phone is fantastic imo. I haven't enjoyed tgsp since my nexus 6p because of the 2.5D curved glass craze, no tgsp fits any phone good anymore. Axon, Samsung (ROFL, you thought OUR screen was bad?) , I haven't looked at the screen protectors for the G6, but the screen doesn't appear to be 2.5d so that's a step in the right direction..
When my stock screen protector gets unusable, I'll buy the 30$ crash guard from rhinosheidl ?????? Just to see if the hype is real...
Unless someone already has photos of it....

No idea whatsoever, my stock screen protector from oneplus is still in fantastic shape, so I don't imagine ordering four a couple more months at least.
The ones for the oneplus 3 are 13 dollars on amazon, and ship with prime in the US.. So I imagine in a few weeks the price will become more better.
I've recently seen this on the taobao site. GOR branded TSP. I've used their flat ones on other phones and am quite satisfied with the performance. They have 2 versions, one with the black border, one with a edge sealant sort of thing. I'm planning to get the sealant version next month since my option to add items for cheap shipping is exhausted for July....
If anyone's in China or has bought one, some feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Guys,
Any suggestions on a good Tempered glass screen protector for our beloved Nokia 7 Plus?
I bought a Colorox brand from Amazon but it turned out to be simple protector not tempered.
Any suggestions or links much appreciated.
Regards.
Ordered one from Amazon, will be delivered tomorrow. Lets see how it is, I'll update here.

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....

Am also waiting for it to get delivered...
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.
