Whats the best way to protect against scratches without lossing aesthetics? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

I want to buy the white S7. For some reason it was never released in my country (Spain) not sure if it wasn't released in Europe as a whole. I don't know who takes these stupid ass decissions but whatever. The S7 white here is rare, it's more expensive, and I think they will not repair it if it breaks... idiots.
Anyway, so I want to be safe and protect against any scratches etc. How do I protect the phone without making it looking ugly with a goofy ass bulky case?

Gadgetshieldz full body protector. It's a wet installation and makes your phone have a naked look yet gives superb grip and scratch protection. Very satisfied with it. Using for past 3 months. Wish I had bought it sooner.

As replied above GS is the only alternative as of now. Just two things- their support sucks and keep your installed protector clean otherwise it will come off.

Well I realized GS will not help if my phone falls.
I think I may buy this one for the S7:

You don't even need a screen protector unless you are walking in a rocky surface or something which I will not be doing. I have NEVER droped my formed phones and if I ever drop it it will be the casual slip from the hand of a 5'9'' guy so not that much of a fall, looks like Rhinoshield is the best and they got a white one so it will look nice on my white S7.
The only critiques i've read is that the volume and home buttons become a bit stiff... not a problem, I don't need to constantly press the side buttons. I unlock the phone with the fingerprint so who cares about side home button. The volume buttons are also always set to the same and I barely touch that.

i can highly recommend ringke slim s7 (frost grey). Solid protection, very slim and it looks very elegant

Just bought the ringke slim aswell, and it sits nice in your hand and doesn't add too much to the overall size of the phone. Its a real pain to install a screen protector film on this phone because of the arched corners though! :cyclops:

invisible shield disappointment

Hello , I bought the invisible shield 2 weeks ago
And im very disappointment , the touch not good , not smooth
Alot of Dust and dirt even after 2 with no use
Alot Of fingrprints
There is screen protector that really do the job?
Of course there is a good protector: XTREME GUARD
I love the Skinomi. It's cut yo for the dock as well. Very smooth to the touch bit shows the glare quite a bit. The feel is much more important to me so it was an easy tradeoff.

as far as screen protectors go i actually LIKE invisible shield. It does the job well and tends to be (in my area anyways) less expensive. its also damn near indistructable so when im doing construction my phone screen doesnt take a beating (gorilla glass has three scratches from before i put the IS on it)
as for on the prime, ya it adds a bit of texture. there are thinner variations of the same material that do pretty much the same thing. You are looking for one that has an oileophobic coating on it to repel fingerprints (like the glass on the prime has), i know they make them i just cant think of the brand right now.... Some special brand i think you can only special order them. Not sure on quality but the oileophobic ones are definately what you want for fingerprints.
Theres also those kiosks that started popping up everywhere, forget their name like skreenguard or stealthguard or something, the material is very thin but its the same stuff... It would likely feel smoother because its thinner but its also more expensive. Usually they have devices around the kiosk that have the material on them, you can judge for yourself if you like it or not.
Honestly nothing is going to feel exactly like glass. There are some that are close however IMO they offer less protection. Try looking at friends phones and asking what kind of screen protector they have on them, go to the various cell phone booths in your area and talk to the guys there. When you find a brand you like the feel of it then see if you can get a sheet big enough for the prime.
Another trick: you dont HAVE to get a screen protector designed specifically for the prime. On the back of my tablet to prevent scratching i have a SP designed for the galaxy tab. On the front i used one for the TF101 and (carefully, with an extremely sharp set of scissors and knife and a LOT of patience) cut out for the dock connector. Saved myself nearly $50 doing it this way since they were both on clearance when i bought em. They are not a perfect fit but close enough for my needs.
I've tried the ArmorSuit, Skinomi and ACase screen protectors.
My personal favorite is the dry apply (there are two different types) ACase screen protectors.
They are about as close to clear and invisible, once applied, as any screen protector I've ever used. They also don't have any texture or orange peel to them.
You also get three to a pack, but I'd probably recommend them even if it was only for one protector in a pack.
(Make sure to purchase the dry apply version)

UAG+Glass screen protector 👍👍

Can't imagine a better combination if there is, what could it be? The feel and look is outstanding guys.

I'm currently running this combo and I honestly don't believe that I could be happier with anything other than my Black UAG case with the "Nillkin Amazing H+" Tempered Glass Protector. Everything looks GREAT, feels like it could be an oem "industrial" variant of the Note 3, and best of all, SUPERIOR protection all around the phone. I feel much, much more confident about the security and durability of my phone now that I've got it completely wrapped up all the way around. The Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP is a very solid, yet buttery smooth, screen protector that bonds to the screen sooooo well that no one else even knows that I've got a TGP on the front screen. The edges of this protector are sooo smoothly rounded over to where it meets the edges of my Note 3 that you don't really feel any gap in screen coverage at all. You can run your fingers up the side of the phone and they just glide right on up and over to the front of the phone ALMOST without even knowing that the TGP and the frame of the phone are totally separate pieces.
At first I was skeptical that this would work with my UAG case because before I had any kind of screen protector on the phone, it was already a very tight squeeze to fit it in the UAG case. I felt almost certain that any added thickness to the phone itself(the thickness of the TGP) would render my UAG case useless, but that was not the case. Yea, it took a tad bit more wiggling the phone around while trying to stuff it in the UAG case, but it popped right on in there just fine.
Everything fits together just wonderfully and I'm 100% satisfied that I went this route. I have no doubt in my mind that my VERY expensive Note 3 is protected from any drops, scratches, etc.(...not waterproof though =/ ) about as well as it's ever gonna be. Before I had my phone wrapped in this kinda of stellar protection, I would hardly let anyone use my phone for anything at all, let alone even touch it! But now, I feel comfortable enough that I don't hardly hesitate when 4-year old son asks me if I will let him hold my phone to flip through picture albums, watch his favorite movies and TV shows, play Angry Birds, or even draw me a silly picture with the S-Pen. If I ever, and that's big "IF", find myself in the market for a case/screen protector combo for this phone again in the future, I can just stop the search right there, dead in its tracks.....I'll be ordering the UAG case and Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector and calling it a day!!
....and one more thing....you better believe it...given the product availability and high rate of tech advancements we're currently experiencing, this combo WILL be part of my "arsenal" of accessories for my next phone, whatever that may be...Note 4?

So tempted to get one too after seeing so many positive reviews on UAG case. But there's one thing that bothers me according to some reviews on amazon, has UAG revised on the design and left a cutout for the thermal sensor below the bottom right of the bezel?

I have the same combo but my tempered glass is brando 00.2mm. No problems with fitting and doesnt bury the home button. You will not even notice that it is tempered glass since it is soooo thin. I suggest you consider it.

Where did you get your Nillkin TPG? I've looked on ebay but they all ship from China. I know they are Chinese but I fell more comfortable when they ship from the US. UAG cases are awesome btw. I have the white and black one.

I ordered mine with my Amazon Prime account in the weeeee hours of Thursday, January 16th around like 3:00am-4:00am and got a knock on my door from the UPS man the very next day, Friday, January 17th around 2:45pm....that right there is why I LOVE Amazon Prime!! =) Given that, you don't need to worry one bit about putting your money out there on Ebay to a sketchy/iffy merchant on the other side of the planet in China, while not really knowing if you'll receive your order in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month...or hell, quite possibly not even at all !! That's why I always try my darndest to stick with the "Fulfilled by Amazon" items on Amazon.com. Sooooo, anyway...lol...I got a little side-tracked there...my bad! :silly:
Anyway, what I was gettin at, was where I got my Nillkin TGP. I ordered it on Amazon and it was a "Fulfilled by Amazon" item, so I didn't have much of anything to worry about there. Just to make things a LOT quicker and a little bit more simplified for ya, I'll point ya in the right direction. Seriously though, click the link to Amazon at the bottom of this post, check out the Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP listing, gravitate the cursor on over towards the right side of the page and click "Add to Cart" and be done with it. A few days later when you receive it and carefully install it, you'll be looking this thread up to tell us just the same type of things that I also mentioned in my previous post..guaranteed.(Well, assuming that everything went well regarding your order, packaging quality, and item shipment, etc.)
Yea, it may only have a few customer reviews SO FAR, but take that with a grain of salt. As soon as I can get a spare chance, I'll also be adding my review for this Nillkin TGP. So don't hesitate to order one of these! Assuming that you know how to install it properly, or at least if you don't already know, do your homework and read all the advice here on these forums, read the instructions that come in the package (if you need to) and take your time putting it on your screen and you should be as happy of a customer as I am! Sooo, anyway, here's the link,,,,finalllllyyyy!!! lol :good:
Amazon: "Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Protector"

Good working cases/screen protectors/other accessories?

Hi all,
it would be nice if we could compile a list of the accessories we're happy with.
I'll start with the official case. It's really snug and feels good in your hand, and (as opposed to the official case of the original Swift) it doesn't crack when you look at it crossly Really happy with it, endorse it without reserve. (You need to like flashy orange, though )
EDIT: this one: https://www.pdashop.be/product/759010/wileyfox-swift-2-swift-2-plus-back-cover-oranje.html
Okay so for the cases:
My device came with the official one (in grey color), and after a month or so the power button came off, it didn't seem very strong at first and I knew that was going to happen at some point. Still, not disappointed with it but I didn't feel like it was "protective enough".
So, I went ahead and bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/WileyFox-Olycism-Shock-Absorption-Resistant-Transparent/dp/B06XG78G9B/ which came yesterday, and it definitely feels more safe now. Official case feels too plasticky for me, and I've always been a fan of this gummy style of cases. The cutouts for buttons and I/O are perfect, and align perfectly with the device. It doesn't feel too much thick either, so it's definitely a plus. It has a bezel protecting the screen in case the phone falls to the floor, so yeah. I don't regret spending 6 bucks on it in sale.
I can provide pics of any of both, if someone needs it.
I've got a clear one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132114205792 , which seems to look very similar to the case shared by linuxct . Fits well and cut outs are good.
Need to buy some screen protectors soon..

I got one of these:
amazon.de/Abacus24-7-Handyh%C3%BClle-Kreditkarten-Schutzh%C3%BClle-Smartphone/dp/B01MTY0YJY/ref=sr_1_3?s=telephone&ie=UTF8&qid=1493056844&sr=1-3&keywords=swift+2+abacus
It fits good and the possibillity transport debit cards or paper money without a wallet is nice. Unfortunately the seam dissolves a litte bit but that can beficed with a fire lighter or a drop of superglue.

Are they snug enough? I bought one that looked like these on e-bay for my original Swift, and it wasn't really tight enough. Just tight enough in fact to remain on the phone, but it felt quite loose.
Anyone know a good fitting tempered glass screen protector for the 2X? Al the ones I found are too big (edges don't curve down) and don't stick very well.
Wileyfox themselves have just released a screen protector for the swift 2x I've just ordered one. I've tried loads bought off eBay and had refunds for all of them as the fit has been terrible.
I bought a soft screenprotector from Screenknight. Fits very well and is smooth (after I peeled the protection layer off haha). I don't like the soft feeling, but it's better than an ill fitting tempered glass one.
I'm just gonna order the one on Wileyfox's site and report back when I receive it.
- Edit -
I received the screenprotector.
Good quality and very easy to apply.
After application you see a little oily residue under the screen. I hope that will disappear after a while.
Cool thing is that the logo on the bottom is shiny, so it's more visible than the dark logo.
I too got one of the Wileyfox screen protectors for the swift 2x it has the slightly oily look underneath it too. I thought it was a fault and got a replacement but the second one is the same. It does seem the best fit out of all the ones I've tried so far. The oily look is only visible when the screen is off. I do have a screen knight but have never applied it as I didn't fancy getting the phone wet.
Another one here with the slimy look under the screen protector. Fits nicely and like already said, looks nice too.
Got one of these as a case
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071LDGHTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Awful. Looks smooth in the piccys but the back has quite sharp edges.
This was the reply from Wileyfox about the "oily" screen protector issue.
"Other than making sure your screen is clean and then reapplying the screen protector there isn't much else I can suggest I'm afraid."
Not a big problem anyway.
Dropped my phone on a sand path with pebbles. My screenprotector flew off. Cracked.
Not a scratch on my screen or case
Been walking around without screenprotector since. The screen is much more responsive compared to with the screenprotector.
I think I'm gonna leave it like this. If my screen breaks, I just get it repaired or get a new phone.

Best slim case I've found yet

First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it
If you're interested this is the link where I got it on Amazon

Here is the slimmest case I have ever seen:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH1PWX9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and really like it. It is slim enough for me and has great phone protection.
I've ordered this one. Clear and thin.
https://www.amazon.com/Trianium-Res...d=1493470061&sr=1-1&keywords=trianium+s8+case
Got this one today and it is sweet. Super thin and I like that it covers the buttons.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/232311855985
the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.
I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case
Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...
Check this out: Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy S8 Case Herringbone with Flexible Inner Pr... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP521V1/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_thRbzbWYMDS0A
For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it
If you're interested this is the link where I got it on Amazon

I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

Could you tell me how much it weighs? Amazon lists 1.4 ounces for both item and shipping weight. That's way to heavy for me.

No Protection with this case. It clearly says in description only for scratch. If you want full protection I would suggest that you get this one from Samsung is very slim:

How is the grip

Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu

Finally! No EDGE LIFT full coverage Screen protector

Invisible defender. It's a Korean product based on the language the instructions are written in. It has wings that wrap and the edge to the back of the phone.
Someone on XDA did this with a Galaxy tablet screen protector on the Note 7. Same idea here with the sides.
Screen is smooth and no edge lifting, no air gaps, not $45 like the white Stone.
Video here https://youtu.be/5Oqm9CMETvw
Hmm interesting concept, might have to try this out eventually. I have a feeling thought that once you put a case on those bubbles on the edges might come back as seen in that video.
The corners, of course, don't wrap around, and therefore are susceptible to lifting.
Can confirm it's been a few hours. No bubbles. If you swap cases frequently it might be an issue. Essentially the edges are tucked in the back of the phone and then held in place by the case sides and back.
Not anti-shock protector after all :/
Have this being delivered today from Amazon. Looks promising

Looks cool. Two quick questions for you though. How does it feel... like smooth? Also I have a skin on the back that covers all the back part. Would this protector work work that? Like how far do the wings go back? Thanks.
I just installed this on my s8+. Best screen protector I have used on the phone so far. The wrap around not only keeps it from coming up on the edges, but also helps to apply by acting like handles. It sits shy of the corners to lessen the chance of the corners being lifted by a case. The feel is smooth, but it does have a slight orange peel finish. Went on perfectly and seems to hold very well. Does show fingerprints much more than a naked screen.
Looks promising, I just grabbed one from Amazon. Thanks for sharing.

Wings just go very slight. If you have a skin on the back I would tuck the wings under the skin. It might even help hold things in place even better. Screen is super smooth.
Got these off Amazon. I've had this screen protector on my phone for 2 days now, in my opinion I'm not really liking it. It's smooth as glass which I like, but the clarity is not clear as I would like it to be. I don't like that smudgy/ matte look. More noticeable on whites, like scrolling through YouTube or web browser. I came from the Spigen wet install film. It had more clarity but out of my 5 cases, I was only able to use one case because the other cases made the edges of the film peel. Installation was straight forward, no lint or bubbles. I'll stick with it for now till I find something better.

That's interesting. I've used matte protectors and don't think those one is matte. It isn't clear as glass but I think it has pretty good clarity.

How come only 1 review?
I would not recommend this protector. I installed it and it looked great, no air bubbles at all. However, as soon as I put my Supcase on the phone all four corners started to peel away from the screen. A day later the top of the screen protector near the sensors and camera also peeled away to a point where they are actually laying on top of the case's lip. I bought it because it said "case friendly" but after my experience with the Supcase I can definitely say this is not the case... Having the corners wrap around as well and maybe decreasing the height would make it work a bit better in my opinion.

Are you sure you are using these screen protectors? Mine is shy of reaching the corners, and I actually have the supcase and it is fine. I have had no issues with lifting at all. The screen protector does not reach the corners so it never interferes with the case i use. Perhaps you installed it a bit too high or low on the screen.

That is the one I have, but from the US amazon store. They are new so I am guessing that is why there is only one review. The US store has more reviews.
Just ordered off Ringke's official eBay store. Won't be here until next week but I'll update with how it turns out. Thanks
I know one user has said they dont like the screen protector due to clarity lacking.
However can anyone else comment on the clarity of this screen protector?
I want to purchase this but dont want any degradation of image quality from my screen.
Any input is appreciated, thank you.
Just received and applied mine.
I prefer glass, always have. I've read review after review of the current generation of glass and haven't felt like any would please me. I'm a bit picky, so much so I often order more than 1 of any protector in case I miss a speck of dust or something goes wrong.
This wrap around one is actually pretty nice. Installation is pretty much all about alignment and cleanliness. I guess I've installed enough that I got both the first attempt. It went on easy enough, plenty of bubbles that I was able to work out easily enough. Wrapping the edges went smoothly and the finished result is fairly impressive.
The feel is glass like. It's not glass but it's not rubbery nor is there any apparent orange peel effect. It's smooth and responsive and I don't notice any issues with clarity. Honestly looking at the device I can't tell there's a protector on it until I look at the edges. The edges (top and bottom) are there, but you have to look for them. Time will tell if they collect dust or peel, however they stick well and the whole thing is thin enough you barely feel where protector ends.
I have the official thin case, it went on without issue. The wrap around is nice in there is no difference between no protect tion and this protector. Together I feel the device is protected from scratches, but not drops. The S8+ (and it's little brother) are notoriously prone to breaking if you believe drop tests, so I really didn't expect this setup to be all protecting.
As for the back where it wraps around, well it's pretty much as I described the top. You'll feel where the edge is but it would only be distracted ting to the most anal retentive types.
Overall​ I would give it a try. 2 for $11 isn't asking that much.
Forget this crap i test it....now i found liquid glaz and its amazing! i never see a bether screen protector!
