ZAGG 50% Off On InvisibleSheild Products!
I used one of this company's body protectors on my Duo, the thing was amazing. I know the description is kinda lame, but the protection kicks ass. Was hard to put on the curved parts of my phone's body (like all of these protectors are), but the screen protector is as easy to apply as any I've seen, and once you get it all on, it stays.
Ebay link for full body protection
Ebay link for screen protector only
Note: This isn't my auction, I was just browsing and saw that they had these available already.
Let me know how it fits your G1. I'm interested to know how they did it with the phone not out yet. Even the Invisible Shield guys (the "pioneers" of this kind of protector) are delaying til someone volunteers them a G1 for measurement after the release date.

What he said.... plus will the keyboard still slide? can we get to the reset button (if there is one)? does it come off easy or will it be a 2 hr process if we want to pull the SIM card?
Most of these full-body protectors come in several pieces that cover the whole phone, but still allow slides, buttons, etc. to work just fine.
My problem (and the reason I'm going with the invisible shield at zagg.com) is that some of these companies don't really cover the whole phone or even bother with the corners. Invisible shield covers everything.
And they're good for one use (but rock solid). They can be removed, but not generally repositioned since after they dry the first time, removing them stretches them out of shape.

That's how this one was for my Duo, and as for covering the whole phone it did that well. As for trying it on my G1, I don't have a G1 so that'd be quite difficult.

I know, man. That's one reason I trust the zagg people more...because they're actually waiting til the phone is released so they can get measurements. The get a lucky(?) volunteer to ship the phone to them and they custom-make the shield, install it, and ship it back, all for free. Then they have the measurements and can sell them to everybody. I'm a little wary of guys who claim to have a TBS before the phone is out.
I looked at "clear coat" I think. Some of their iPhone/touch/wtf ever protectors didn't even make it to the corners of the device. But the Invisible Shield brand covered everything but the ports. That's kinda what I'm looking at...but I'd be more than willing to pay less for something identical.

Haha, that always pissed me off that they made a customer send theirs in. Really, buy the ****ing phone and return it a day later, it's not hard. As for the G1, they're not hard to get... There are probably 10 on eBay that aren't pre-release, it's just that people don't bother to look.
Yeah, it's the slower process, but it's a guarantee that the shield will be 100% right for the phone. We are talking total-body protector, rather than just screen protector.
And if phones are being gouged on ebay for $600-1000 when there's just a little more than a week before anybody and his brother can get one, I can understand the wait. They sell shields; they're not in the phone-buying business. They've got a decent business model, even if it doesn't suit the impatient.
Edit: Someone on the tmonews forums got the "clear protector" brand from an ebay vendor. It comes in two pieces and doesn't cover the sides or corners.
i ordered one at e-bay and already have it home. im courios how its gonna fit a screen. but best thing is i spend only 0.01$ with free shippingfor it
Pre-Order a Zagg?

Interesting...
They must've gotten their volunteer. I know a guy on tmonews was actively courting them for his free shield.
For those looking to pre-order an invisible shield, here's a 20% off coupon code: "xxxxxx" (Code no longer works)
They're selling for just under $20 and this code gives almost a $4 discount.

yeah I ordered mine already... I talked to them on the phone and they told me that if someone was willing to pay for shipping the phone both ways they would probably make them a shield for free and install it so that they can get the measurements early... so if you have a phone and want a shield call them and see what you can work out...
wow, that looks pretty cool. Next paycheck i'm going to order one of those for my G1, my psp slim, and maybe for my Zen.
zagg.com emailed me and said that my shield was mailed... I am impressed... that was really fast.
BodyGuardz vs. IS
interested in what you all think of Invisible shield vs boadyguardz? i keep reading that IS gives more of an orangepeel effect whatever that means lol.
anyone tried them out fo real and not just looked at them?
It's been reported that the Invisible Shield guys (zagg.com) are giving a 40% discount on Halloween day if you order with the discount code "scary40".

I ordered the Bodygaurdz after reading a review of the two
the orangepeel effect is supposed to be seen as a negative thing making the screen harder to see, like a type of haze. The bodygaurdz is supposed to be tougher than the IS and shouldn't tear/scratch as easy. Also reviewed as more invisible/transparent too. I should receive it in a couple days and will post some photos before and after and let you know my real thoughts about it.
I like that you get 2 full body protectors for $24 and the shipping was free from bodygaurdz direct website.
Jcostanza4
my shield got here last night and I put it on and it looks really nice... I wish the front part had been one piece but I guess it works the way it is. With it on the screen actually feels more responsive and easier esp when scrolling.
There is a place by my house that sells IS and puts it on for you. The owner stopped by my store and gave me a card to get one for free. So I hit them up today and got it put on. So far its not bad but there are some rough edges. They told me it would smooth out in a few days after its "Cured". They also said not to put it in your pocket for 2 days. I will report back in a few days to see how it goes.
Where do you live? I am thinking of taking my off because I messed up and having someone else do it for me. Sadly while I was doing it the door bell rang and I had to answer it... well needless to say I had to reapply the screen piece again and now it is kinda funky... Other than that it is good I am just hoping the screen cures.
Hey it appears that GagdetShieldz has finally released a skin for the Tilt 2! I had one on my Fuze and at 6.99 I don't think they are a bad deal at all... plus it worked quite well! When I get done with Finals I am gonna order one and put it on... Plus free worldwide shipping!
Found here!
Edit: I just placed my order... I will post updates once I get it in and applied!

THANKS.. Just ordered one..
PPCSG15
15% off
I got this too. For less than $6 with free shipping,you really can't beat that. I hope it's good. I've been using the Invisiblesheild for my past 3 phones, it works really nice if you take the time to put it on correctly but it costs a lot more than this.
Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I've been using Invisiblesheild for several of my devices and to be honest with you I can't tell the difference. The only major differences between this and Invisiblesheild is that it does not come in the fancy box with the spray, squeegee, applicator card etc. Just a plain envelope with the product. Since it only cost $5-6 its hard not to recommend this.
honestly i found this one harder to put on, and eventually i wasnt able to...
that and this feels.. thinner than invisible shield, but not that much. the texture is also slightly different...
overall for 6 bucks its a good deal lol
Installed
I just finished installing it, and yeah the front was difficult... kind of rushed to back and have a bubble or two but no biggie. I took my time on the front and it is curing right now! I will try and get pictures but it will be later next week, after Christmas!
Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!
Please post detailed pictures and if possible a scratch test. I was looking at bodyguardz but this is a cheap alternative I am willing to consider if available for T7373 also (not branded). Also tell me if it arrived just 1 set or 2 sets like bodyguardz and if the touch screen's sensitivity is somehow affected?
EDIT:
20% discount coupon - PPCSG20
I will try
MightyCrys I apologize I am out of town, however, I will try to get a camera from a family member! As far as screen sensitivity - I have noticed no depreciable difference in that area. The screen definitely has a different feel due to the skin's thickness, but I do not see this as an issue. My fingers sort of drag on the surface on the skin, but it does not impede function by any means. My stylus use is very limited but the stylus is usable with the appropriate amount of pressure.
Also you receive 1 shield only, but at 6.99 (w/o discounts) I still find it hard not to recommend.
You are right about the price, it's the best aspect but my main problem is that is only made for carriers branded phones and not for the unbranded european T7373 which I have and don't want to be doing some cutting myself..
I see
I see that now, didn't realize they were only for the carrier branded models. If you try requesting it on the GadgetShieldz website they can probably accommodate your needs. That is what I did for the Tilt 2, but whether it was my request or the fact that they were gonna make one anyway I really dunno haha!
Hope you find something to suit your needs!
I already left a message on their site, but so far no answer. .
Although it's strange to me that they didn't do a shield for the original device as well
If you can, please put some pictures of your TP2 with the shield on
I'd love to see some pics of installed product, thanks.
For anyone interested in bodyguardz, now is a good time to order. They already include the 25% discount for Christmas and if you use coupon 155A6 you get another 20% off!!
To keep from cluttering up the Deff screen protector thread, I wanted to start a thread on the Nillkin Full Body Protector with the black frame.
-I am still awaiting for my shipment to arrive, but wanted a place to discuss this protector further. Once I receive it I will post pics and details about the install if someone else hasn't by then.
I ordered one from ebay for $10.99. They can be found from $10.99 and up here:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...=Motorola+Nexus+6+Nillkin+full+glass&_sacat=0
Official Nillkin Page here:
http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=5109&page=1
Its been noted there appear to be 2 versions of images on the ebay listings, both saying Nillkin, but the official Nillkin page above shows the image that has the larger cutout by the speaker for the proximity sensor it seems, while the other ebay image shows a cutout separate for the proximity. Perhaps one of the images is from an early test run, and it has been revised to the newer design on their official site?
P.S. I know there is a thread for "tempered glass screen protectors" with posts regarding this protector, but I wanted a place to only discuss this particular product and share images/reviews of it specifically.
Interested as this states its specifically made to deal with the curve on the N6 screen.
20+ days for shipping?! That pretty ridiculous seeing as how people are ordering protectors from the same region and having them shipped halfway across the world in half the time.
when you do receive it please let us know the total shipping time also. Thanks

The other brands are from the same region, but they have them sent to a warehouse in California to allow faster shipping. Mine was shipped on the 20th and I live in Ohio, so we'll see how long it takes to get here (and hopefully it arrives safely from overseas).
Just ordered a couple will post my experience, my replacement N6 hasnt been too kind to tempered glass protectors as just about every single one has had HALO, only one that didnt was the vzw protector but that was very fragile and cracked after a wk.
Just ordered one for my phone! I will post some feedback when it eventually arrives.
Ordered from this person: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nillkin-C...750?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a14da66e

Remember that in China they just manufacture the products and after that the only difference is the retail packaging.
I had a Nillkin glass protector on my m8 and it was awesome. Great quality and very thick. Whether or not the N6 one is good or not who knows but they do make a good product.

Since I always use a case, not sure if these would play well together. I guess a SP that goes to the curve on the side of the screen but not beyond is better for case users.

I have the Ringke Max case and it doesnt lip inwards towards the screen as much. Its support to allow screen protectors, so I hope this one applies too.
the graphics may me questionable.

Guys, really? Its just a graphic illustration of how theirs is "better". Its not supposed to look real. You'll see similar illustrations on nearly every screen protector site.

I would guess that it is a similar/same size as the deff. I use a diztronic tpu case, which has a lip & the deff fits perfectly inside that lip. So perfect that you can't see the edge of the protector. Sorry for the plug of a different brand, just comparing as I think they would be the same size.
Mines in IL 6 hours ago via tracking. I'm in Ohio. Should have it in 1 to 2 days.
I bought one directly from the store in China, should be here super soon. But I'm holding out on it...cashed out a lot for my InvisibleShield HDX and not risking another glass halo TGSP. Will wait for @ryancell to post
Hi there! Wow, this thread has really taken off. Sorry for my absence. I've just read through about 15 pages of comments, and there have been quite a few additions, nearly every single one being a disappointment, but the only talked about in a positive light was the amFilm. I'll put that one on the top of the list for now. If there's one that has been talked about heavily, I'll do my best to continue to update here. Again, sorry for my absence, and if anyone finds any other strong ones, please send me a PM. Those actually give me a notification. Thanks!!! Seeing lots of talk about the Zagg protector, also that it broke for someone. Dot matrix is bad on it.
A GOOD OPTION: amFilm (http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Cov...&sr=8-120&keywords=galaxy+s7+screen+protector) 3.3 Stars, has been improved several times. Seems to be a pretty good option.
OLD POST:
The S7’s edges are a little curved, so it will be hard to find a perfect glass screen protector- most of them will give a halo effect, or they will only lay on the flat surface of the screen, leaving the curved edges exposed. I wanted to start a thread where we can post glass screen protectors for the S7 that offer good quality, and good protection. I’ve done a little bit of research that I would like to share with you here:
1) Full Screen Coverage Glass Screen Protectors:
a. Zagg
i. http://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/shop-by-device/galaxy-s7-accessories/
ii. No info on availability
iii. No info on price
iv. Glass seems to be nicely curved to fit the entire phone. Works with S7 & S7 Edge- they have different models for each, it seems. A Thread was posted on XDA saying that a Zagg protector was not very good-- not sure if it's the same product, but here's a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/accessories/zagg-glass-screen-protector-t3331065 - (Thanks, Macguyver) And according to TheLonePoster, Zagg is giving a halo effect, similar to the experience of a screen protector for the Nexus 6.
b. amFilm (Thanks nest75068, bastage)
i. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Cov...120&keywords=galaxy+s7+screen+protector+glass
ii. Available March 11th
iii. $8.99
iv. 2.3 stars-- dot matrix, some issues with non-adhering edges, "clicking" when touching the screen. 2.3 isn't a good rating at all, but in comparsion to some of these other companies, it's not a bad one to use until better ones come out.

iv. Recommended by TehPirate_, as good brand reputation, but as it stands, there is no clear stipulation about whether or not this is full screen coverage. Product is grouped with other products, so we won't be able to tell for a while if this is good or bad. For now, this is on the bottom of the "Good" thread, until otherwise stated. UPDATE: 65% low quality reviews from FakeSpot (http://fakespot.com/product/iq-shie...e-shield-d6c14fa5-59a8-41db-9b68-df6c7cbbe360)

The images seem to be S6, not S7. Not sure how much the screen protector covers.
Also, this is in a product variation with six other screen protectors, so we are not going to be able to see the real reviews, if they are good or bad.

The Edge display looks a bit different under it, like the skin itself is lighting up not like it's a layer on top of the display. Previously used a tempered glass on my GS5 so this is a big difference. Touch feel of the skin is good. Had to remember how to put on a protector cleanly though, took a couple tries to get it done (but I had budgeted one 'practice' protector to burn). Haven't noticed a rainbow effect though."

It looks like it is hard to find full coverage glass screen protector at this moment. If you find any good glass screen protectors, please reply to the thread, and I’ll add it to the post as frequently as I can.

Thanks for the head's up. I'm not getting my phone yet, but OP's Zagg protector looks pretty good. I'll wait until there's some more comments before I make any decisions. It's annoying that phones are being made with these curved edges-- it makes it hard to find good quality things..

Ordered this from the thread asking for users to review - supposedly full coverage - once received will post up details here and on Amazon

Definitely sounds like it will have the curved edges so I went ahead & ordered it too. For 9 bucks ill risk it. Would rather have full transparent, but im not spending 25 bucks on the SinHong shipped from China to find out.

claims to have edge to edge protection and the brand has rather good reviews and a good price.

Thank you to the three of you. I've added all of your input to the OP. Cheers!
Just wanted to add. I have tried numerous tempered glass protectors for my note 5. I could not find one that did not give a halo effect. I gave up trying, frankly did not need the extra protection of the tempered glass. What I did however was buy a crystal spigen screen protector and cut the edges. It worked well, the only down fall is that it does not cover the whole screen.
The Tech Armor one is pretty bad.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Spigen. I have used their screen protectors on a few phones and have never been disappointed. This one says "full coverage from edge to edge." http://www.spigen.com/collections/g...alaxy-s7-edge-screen-protector-curved-crystal
I did they are not tempered though

Thanks, I've updated the post.
I'm waiting for the pure gear one. Worked perfectly on my s6 and my mom's note 5 although it's pricey. If you want to try cheaper ones I suggest glass protectors that are less than 0.3mm the thinner ones seem to have a easier time sticking to the borders.

I'm not seeing a Pure Gear screen protector on amazon-- do you have a link to the product?
And about the .3mm or less- are you sure it's the thickness of the phone that causing the sticking? I thought that would a matter of the amount of adhesive.

I've only seen pure gear sold at tmobile or direct from them at pure-gear.com. Only thing is they're not showing a glass protector for the s7 yet. Hoping it's coming soon.
From my experience of having the g2, s6, and the note 5 and trying and returning 100 cheap glass protectors. It's a combination of how strong the adhesive is and how well the glass flexes over the curve. I tried the Zagg glass for my s6 think it's 0.33 and ya it looked perfect with no halo but the glue was so strong I think it was lifting the glass off of the digitizer. The left edge of the screen was only registering input half the time. I ended up going to tmobile and asked them which one to get and the guy suggested the pure gear one. The glass comes with a jig so it goes on the right spot on the phone but even that can be screwed up. If they do end up having a pure gear glass protector at tmobile I suggest you get them to put it on for you and to keep doing it till you're happy with it.
FWIW I have the regular S7 and the icarez tempered. The screen on the 7 has slightly rolled edges and the protector doesn't not adhere to the edges.

Awesome. sorry for your luck I've added your experience to the OP. Thanks for your contribution!
Saw this youtube video. It mentions of having adhesive on entire surface to adhere to the screen of the phone. Anyone familiar with this kind. Tried to look around and googled but nothing like this is really being sold right now.

a bit of googling reveal merchant via Alibaba, prices seem really cheap though..10 units for $5.99. Too good to be true?

The price is for a single unit I think. It says minimum order for 10 pieces.

Ah OK, that makes more sense, of course, a single individual won't need 10 of those.
This guy did a pretty good review on that screen protector last week. If it weren't for that "bubble" it would have been a better alternative to WhiteDome.

it seems like companies are getting closer on figuring out a good TGSP for edge phones
Edit - was reading the comments on that first vid and then saw this
