I ordered and have already received this one from Amazon US:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRRP4CC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
J&D have good reviews on their other screen protectors. Examining them they look great. No reviews on this specific one yet as no one has the phone of course.

I used to have screen protectors and now I got tempered glass on my z5, but then when I recommend it for my sibling's X performance it was all ugly and didn't fit perfectly...
I'm just going to wait to see real life examples first...

What I mentioned earlier was tempered glass, FYI

I ordered the Roxit Tempered Glass protector from Sony direct. Great cover - the only shame is they have the top and bottom blacked out - which means they have a weird cutout feature at the top allowing you to still read the Sony logo - wish they had just made it clear all the way through. But would rather have the phone protected. Will keep an eye out for better protectors I the future though - as it would be nice to see the full screen on the front.

Hi,
Thanks for the recommendation, that's look good.
On the amazon site, there is no cut out for the bottom speaker? Is this the case with the real product? How does that impact on sound quality?

I got the J&D. Not too happy with the fit. Very hard to capture in photos, but here you go..
The issue is, the sides don't lay flush, so it shows up kind of white and will be a dust magnet.

This is another reason why I wish all OEM's would STOP using this curved 2.5 glass! Unless there is some real reason for using it all it does is make using a tempered glass protector nearly impossible to use because none of them fit properly without big gaps on the sides. The LG G6 is probably the only mainstream phone with a truly flat screen.

There's a cut on the bottom for the speaker. As far as fit, still haven't received the phone from Unlocked Mobiles. Taking a long time to get the chrome one I ordered the beginning of May. Post about my experience when I receive it.

If I don't have better luck with mine I'll do without or try a different brand.

I bought the official Sony Style cover. Reckon I need a screen protector as well?

I'll try to get a picture up soon!

I'll probably regret doing this but I'm gonna use the XZP naked...Right now I have nothing on my Z5P and it feels so damn nice

I have the Roxfit Tempered Glass and the Roxfit Ultra Slim Soft Shell Case on my XZ Premium.
I like them both but The Roxfit Tempered Glass is a fingerprint magnet which is a bit of a pain sometimes.

close up picture of the Roxit tempered glass - agree it can be a fingerprint/ finger oils magnet! But I presume the normal screen would be too?

The normal screen has an oleophobic coating to help repel fingerprints.
The screen protector looks fairly good in the fit and finish... does it adhere well on the edges, or is there that little lift that allows dust and dirt to gather underneath?

I don't recommend it due to the price, I can'f find a screen protector that actually sticks on the sides yet. The case is flimsy which I dont care for but the quality is good if that makes any sense.

Just popped into a shop and saw the chrome - omg - defo my next phone. Used to have a Z1 and had front and rear glass protectors and think the same would be a good idea - not a fan of cases. Anyone seen any rear glass protectors?

Awesome RAZR screen protector!

Hi All,
Just wanted to pass this on. I've tried the Verizon screen protector and it totally sucks. It's very thick and makes the touch display really unresponsive, so I pitched that in the trash.
Then I found Steinheil. The SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal (actually, under color choose the Ultra Fine for an extra $2) It is a really nice, matte style screen protector with a wonderful added benefit... NO FINGER PRINTS!
They're not the cheapest, but trust me, I've had several and these are the BEST, hands down!
I am not associated with store or the product. Just a grateful user.
Enjoy!

Can you please provide a link?

Never mind..I found the link.

I don't disagree on Steinheil having good screen protectors, but you thought the VZ one was too thick? I'm using the VZ protectors (came in a three pack, the standard not the anti-glare) and it's not thick at all. It is hardly noticable. Only thing I don't like is the way they cut around the top area, and there is a subtle rainbow affect. If you want thick - try the Zagg!

I bought the sgp ultrafine and love everything about it except it makes light backgrounds look all grainy.

yep agreed, I've always used Steinheil protectors. They're the best.
Question though on the RAZR, how did he fit being the screen sort of tapers down at the edges? I was thinking of getting one too as I always do, but man I love the feel of its naked glass..mm.

have always loved steinheil screen protectors! sweet. I think I need to get some. Starting to see some fine scratches on my screen already!

I'm in India, so none of it for me. =P
I got a cover for Rs. 120, thats about 2$ from Amzer. Its matte finish and non-fingerprint magnet

Wondering if it covers the whole screen or just the part above the home buttons. Also, if whole screen, does it have a cutout for the mic on the front screen? What about where the camera is?
thanks.

I've just fitted the 3M Vikuiti ADQC27 and it's brilliant. Reduces reflection making the screen clearer and brighter, and the surface is less grippy than the bare glass. It doesn't resist finger marks all that well though.
It slightly overhangs the bevelled edges of the screen and won't stick to them, but as I have an S-line case on I don't notice particularly.

I've always liked Phantom Skinz.
But right now, I have the one that came with the OtterBox commuter case. seems to be alright.

Just got this one from HK: http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-mat...ilm-layer-for-motorola-razr-p-3273-c-193.html
Works very well, nice matte finish.

Has anyone used one with the Otterbox Commuter? I'm thinking of the UltraFine but curious about any. thanks.

I always used clearprotector, I like the smooth feel.

It's scratch resistant - not proof. I wouldn't worry too much dragging my keys over it but something like sand would likely scratch it.

They put one of those cheap ones on st Verizon and I took it off due to how it affected the look of the screen. Decided to skip a screen protector.

Its uber scratch resistant. Sand shouldn't even hurt it. I've used sharp keys and tried on my SGS 2. My best effort is to leave impressions of scratches. That's it. If you don't mishandle these devices with the coating, you would never be able to scratch them.
And how to enjoy the super amoled hd screen if you gimp it with a screen protector?

From what I've read, metal is not the problem. But sand is. See Has anyone scratched their gorilla glass for one thread on the topic.
You see plenty of tests of GG with keys and coins, but not sand or sandpaper because it likely will scratch. And pocket dirt often contains sand. Even if you don't put it in your pocket, if you drop it like here, you still are at risk.
I wish this wasn't true, and maybe it's worth taking the risk, but it's worth noting that Corning does not say scratch proof and you never see them test it against sand or sidewalk/road grit.

i-Croo edge to edge TPU Screen protectors (OCD Approved)

Hey guys it's my first post on XDA. I hope this will be helpful for people who are looking for a full coverage screen protector for their brand new Galaxy S7.
First of all, as you all know that the S7 screen has an even worse curve than the S6. Therefore, it has been a nightmare for me to find a screen protector that covers the whole screen without lifting on the edges. ( major OCD User)
I got tired of tempered glass and PET cuz they don't cover the full screen or don't fully stick on the edges so I decided to go with TPU.
i-croo Screen protectors are flexible TPU material that will curve with your screen and stick completely no matter how curvy the edge of the screen is. The cut outs are extremely precise and coverage is great ( i would say about 98% of the screen). The clarity is supered ( tried Yootech S P which cover the whole screen but makes screen looks grainy and has rainbow effect). You can't even tell there is a screen protector on unless u pay very close attention. These screen protectors provide much better protection against scratches or drop compared to PET.
The screen protectors comes with everything you would find with other screen protectors. However, these come with an installation tool ( which i did not use cuz i prefer not having too much stuff near the phone that has dust particles which can be attract by the static charge when you peel the screen protector off), but it think it might be helpful for those who are not skilled at aligning screen protector. The best part is it is a dry installation so you can use dust removal sticker to get rid of dust particle if there is any under the screen. ( Can't tell you how much i hate wet installation which collects tons of dust and fingerprints). In addition, they are very thoughtful and included a hard squeegee that is cover with cloth tape so you would not scratch your screen protector.
The reviews of these on Amazon are not great but trust me this is the best solution for now until they can make curved tempered glass that fully adhere and not just the outside edge like Coral Glass). It works great with Ringke slim case ( will update with 3 more cases soon: Spigen rugged, BLIQ Flex Pro Espresso, and VRS Design-High Pro Shield )
In summary.
PROs:
- Prefect fit, full coverage
- Extremely clear ( almost invisible)
- Fully stick
- better protection than PET
- Dry installation
- thoughtful presentation
Cons.
-might be hard for some to install
- little bit hard to peel off ( tip: use a small dust removal sticker to hold the corner of the screen protector as you peel it off to prevent getting fingerprint under it, also makes it much easier to peel)
- not sure if it will work with all cases
OCD user score ( 4.5/5)
PS: I think it better to get these protectors without the Installation tool if you're skilled at installing them, save a dollar
I cant post images links due to having less than 10 post, you can see the images from my amazon review under Thetechnerd. It would be great if someone can help me post the images here ( plz pm me)
PLz search B01D0XEF3Q from Amazon search box. Thanks all

Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...01D0XEF3Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Some reviews have been saying that it scratches really easily. Also does it attract fingerprints/oil easily? Thanks

I did not see any noticeable scratch after 4 days of using it, only tiny micro scratches that you have to put under the light and look at the phone from an angle but maybe because I take good care of my stuffs. So I tested scratching the screen protector with a sim removal tool. After running the pointy end of the sim removal tool a few times on the phone surface, I was like "Holly crap, the screen protector is full of scratches". I then use a micro fiber cloth to rub it off, and "WOW" all of those scratches magically disappeared from the surface of the screen protector, and it is looking like new. Therefore, i believe that these screen protector are self-healing.
About smudges and fingerprints, I think it gets dirty at the same rate as any other PET screen protector. However, I do think that TPU screen protector are harder to clean. It requires more effort to clean than PET and and tempered glass. I had to rub it almost twice as many times as I did with PET. Oh well, for the clarity and protection it provides, it doesn't bother me that much.

I am really close to ordering this product since I am sick and tired of trying to find a tempered glass that does the job. Well, I take that back. I know that coral guard one or whatever apparently does the job but it is like 30 bucks.
Is the TPU cover in between regular film protector and tempered glass as far as hardness and protection? How is the feel of the protector, more glass or film?

So I installed the screen protector yesterday and first of all I have to say it is a great fit. This is truly an edge to edge protector. Went on fairly easy, let it dry over night and I see no bubbles or peeling. As far as the material goes I'd say it's somewhere in between PET and those self healing films. This particular one is very clear with a small amount of texture (sticky feel), and under some lighting there is a slight rainbow effect. I'm used to glass screen protectors but this is a great compromise unless your willing to pay $30 for the full coverage ones. I'm also pretty picky about what goes on my phone and I honest give this a 5/5 for quality and price.

Yeah I ordered a two pack thank God. The first one was so bubbly that I took it off. Installed the second one and it still is bubbly but I tried to smooth it out. It has this weird indentation because of smoothing it out but whatever.
It's easier to tolerates than the horrible halo effect.

I had some weird stuff going on after the install but as it dried up it slowly went away. I install paint protection films on cars and this is very similar. Usually I let my customers know it takes about 2 days to fully dry, so hopefully yours is still in the drying phase.
I could not agree more though that damn halo effect on the regular protectors just kills the beauty of the phone.

Actually, it looks like the manufacturer is sending me another unit since I had issues with these. Any advice on putting these things on without causing any sort of surface damage? I can see indentations when viewing my protector at certain lighting.
I know you did a wet install but I don't think I want to go that route. Maybe I just need to be easier on the protector when I am pushing the bubbles out?

What is the difference in this and every other wet install protector that is not PET, but more that rubbery material?

Has anyone tried this screen protector with the Tech21 Frame case?

Wet install is best with a slightly soapy water solution and since our phones are water resistant its a no brainer. Only other suggestion is as you said, go easy when using the squeegee.

lol don't do wet install cuz it freaking sucks. I recorded how I install my, will edit and post it soon. This is not even 30% as difficult as the G-color GS7 back protector, hell my skills are no joke and I had to give up on that one cuz it's literally impossible to install it without bubble.

Alright I am gonna give the wet install a shot.
What was your dilution with soap and water? Just a drop in a cup of water and mix it around? Did you use a sprayer or just use your hands?

Be careful with the soapy water. Soap lowers the surface tension of water and can get into the phone. Read that someone washed their phone and ruined it because of the soap.
