Hey guys, has anyone had any luck finding a screen protector that sticks well with the otterbox defender case? I've tried the official Samsung screen protectors but the film lifts at the edges and creates bubbles. I've tried the tempered glass and it's impossible with the case by reducing the sensitivity to nearly zero. Has anyone else had any luck finding one that works with this case?

have you tried the Otterbox AlphaGlass ?
I'm using illumishield maximum coverage with my commuter. You just need to mind the corners when putting the case on but it works fine for me.
Hi,
any new upadte about it?
Hi I am using the Iblason glass and fits perfect

I picked up the realook protector, and love it. it covers the screen perfectly (really) and looks and feels like the original glass. problem is the verizon high gloss tpu case i bought for the phone last weekend causes the edges of the protector to lift up when the case is squeezed even slightly.
is anyone using the amzer case with a protector? does this work better?

This made me lol. This is one of the only reasons I don't use a tpu case on my phones. I know the cheaper ones usually don't wrap as tightly and don't go over the bezel as much, making it so they don't touch the edges of the screen protector. I've never tried that one but from what I remember the Diztronic ones don't mess the protector up.
would using a tempered glass screen protector work with the Otterbox Defender case? I don't wanna go out and get the screen protector and it not work with the otterbox

I've done with defenders on 4 different phones, not on the G3, but just try to find a screen protector that only covers the screen and not the bezels to make it easier.

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but I'm using an iCarez 0.2mm tempered glass screen protector (9H hardness) with a Cruizerlite BugDroid TPU case without issue. Screen protector and care do not interfere with one another despite the screen protector extending to the edges of the glass.

I'm guessing you'd recommend a 0.2mm over the 0.3mm
Even with just a 0.2mm iCarez in place sometimes I get missed touches, particularly while playing Ingress and towards the top of the screen. The 0.4mm glass Verizon sells has been reported to cause real bad touchscreen issues. I think the 0.3 ones are fine, but since 0.2mm is available and just as protective, why not go for the thinner one ?

I hate both, there's no other way to look at that, I like my phone as it is, but well scratches will come with time, that's a fact too, so I was wondering which to get. I mean if I go for a Tempered Screen Protector, could that save the display from shattering in case of an accidental drop? Or shall I be using a Protective Case? I know that the corners of a phone are the most important parts, that's where protection should be present, so am I wrong to guess that a tempered glass protector can't protect the corners? I am thinking from a phone drop point of view, not normal scratches, for normal scratches I think I don't need a tempered glass screen protector, a normal one shall do.
So what shall I aim for, a case or the other?
If it's a case then which one? I love the UAG cases for the protection it provides, but hate them for their industrial design, but I won't buy something which won't have a good amount of lip around the screen to protect it from drops and kinds. I need something simple and neat looking, low profile and lightweight and the material should be half rugged so that it won't slip out from my palms.
Thanks in advance.
Tempered glass will NOT save the screen from every drop. If it's face impact then yes most likely will save but if impact is on back of phone and no case or very slim case will Crack LCD it self. Wife's note had a super slim tpu case and LCD shattered but both glass were fine.
i always go with glass screen protector and thin tpu jelly type case. doesn't protect if like an otterbox but will be able to handle any of the minor mishaps i might have. i am very careful and treat my phones like gold so it hasn't failed me so far.
i realize there are plenty of things that setup will not protect your phone for but i can not stand to add bulk to any phone no matter how thin it starts out

Yep, you are right.
I have decided to get a Nillkin 9H tempered protector and a Spigen Neo Hybrid, I guess these will do more than fine for protection.

I don't like because the nilkin one gets fingerprints too easy.
Gonna look into others and change this one
Best one I've used so far is the xtremeguard spartan. Not as bad as others as far as smudge and prints. All though, they changed the design lately, and sold them, was hoping for them to send me the previous design.
Before I order something random from Amazon, I thought I would ask what everyone is using and what you think of it. The only post I found in any of the other threads was someone with a tempered glass screen protector who wasn't happy with the fit.

well, I have a tempered glass screen protector on it, and I am very happy with it. It is a 100 times beter than any other plastic screenprotector, as it will not scratch easily.

Well... for a screen protector, I found this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NILL...ctor-Film-For-Lenovo-K3-NOTE/32319213616.html
I gave it a chance, even thought I was like "meh, Chinese junk maybe", but today after 4 months, it looks the same! BEST screen protector I ever had.
iPaky case (Gold)
iPaky case from amazon.in
Using this, http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free..._78_77_80,searchweb201644_0,searchweb201560_9

This case is good but bumper is of plastic which is delicated.
I have tried every thing out there and ended up with everything Nillkin, case and screen
I have the black/gold Ipaky case and a tempered glass screen protector. I like them both.
Does anyone know of a desktop battery charger to charge a spare battery out of the phone?

I also have an iPaky case bought from ali express. (Black version in my case)
Build quality is good an the case stays higher than the screen protecting it from falls.
The back is super grippy with a nice pattern.
For a screen protector i use a tempered glass one which is stronger than a normal plastic screen protector and doesn't leave bubbles after being applied.It costs a bit more than ordinary screen protectors but you can get one for as low as 1€ from Aliexpress.
I own two cases, one is a simple one with a transparent black color while the other one has an Audi sportscar drawn on it.
So here is what I got:
Aksberry tempered glass screen protector
Pros:
good fit
Tempered glass does seem very hard
rounded edges don't catch on things (like pockets)
Cons:
seems to reduce sensitivity of touch screen
mine has a flaw that has created a bubble under it. It is on the lower edge, so it doesn't affect its operation, just an annoyance to look at.
Nillkin case
Pros:
good fit
edge extends above screen (and screen protector)
extends above buttons. This also helps prevent accidental button presses (am I the only person who thinks that power button is in exactly the wrong spot?)
Cons:
haven't noticed any
Currently using the iPaky case with the silver frame. I love it. The iPaky cases are one of the best out there. I have also a leather flip cover, it's nice but I don't use it much for whatever reason.
did anyone notice the screen protector sensor hole is on the wrong side?
left which has nothing on it, right is where the sensor is.
damn....
Hi,
My Lenovo glass had broken many times & now it gives problem of sensing. Where should I get to change the glass & how much it cost?
I use a tempered glass protector with a skin I ordered from skins4gadgets. The skin is good enough for my usage.
So there seems to be many threads on screen protectors and little lost on the best ones. Some of them don't seem to ship to UK!
So found the Ultimate shield which has good reviews (if real) and reviews say it works with case.
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protector/
Spigen don't sell their curved crystal in UK so thats out.
So whats everyone bought here in England?
I'm using a matte tech21 impact shield. I really like it but they are bloody expensive at around £16 a pop!
P.s I also have ultimate shield on the back of the phone. I had tried the screen protector too but it eventually started lifting at two of the corner with a spigen rugged armour case.

Drat! I was all set to get the Ultimate Shield for my S7 Edge until I read this. Mine lives in a Spigen Tough Armor case.
Do you take your phone out of the case, or does it live in there all the time? (My phones tend to live permanently in their cases, so I'm just wondering whether taking it in and out of the case is the cause of the protector lifting...)
Well I had the same school of thought as you initially, if I'd have got the screen protector on and in the case, it was never coming out! Lol unfortunately though, will the ultimate shield being edge to edge, there is just enough flex in the spigen rugged armour case (when its in your pocket for example) to lift up the edge of the protector slightly at the corners.

Hi, how does it feel like? Is it glass? or more like a filmy protector?
What about the touch sensitivity?

It's a multi layered film, but it is wet application. It isn't rubbery though like the original invisible Shields for example, it is quite rigid and not stretchy. It does have a very strange feel to it, almost a bit rough (you can hear your finger swiping on it if you're sat in silence), but I quickly got used to this. This odd texture does seem incredibly hard wearing and resistant to any scratches. I think it does reduce screen sensitivity very slightly but not to the extent that I would write it off and remove it, you just naturally adjust your technique when interacting with the screen.
One thing to note though, if you haven't used an anti glare protector before, make sure you do your research. This one is incredibly effective in terms of anti glare but does reduce the screen quality somewhat.
