Hi guys, which do you think is better? Matte screen protector or tempered glass? I don't really care about the clarity though, just smooth. And for case, any to recommend which does have sufficient protection? My ringke fusion transparent has been destroying my flash..
I'm also looking answer for this. Anyone can advice?
For screen protector, I use Gearmaxx tempered glass, which I absolutely love. Keeps the premium glass feel, but also offers drop protection against the screen. It also does a great job neutralizing fingerprints.
For a case, I use incipio dual pro which offers great drop protection, but doesn't add too much bulk. The black version of it also keeps the high end look of the device.

Or you can buy a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector, I bought mine for only $15, and it's absolutely worth it, orders of magnitude better than regular screen pros.
And BTW, matte screen protectors actually reduces screen quality specially in high ppi screens, so they are a big no no.
Are tempered glass 9h "matte screen"? Also, do you have protector glass for the back or do you have a casing for it? It seems there is some issue finding the right casing which allows the charge flip cover to open and has an opening for magnetic charger.

They are not matte, but seem to have a little bit less glare than the "naked" screen. They feel like the original screen, but due to the special coating are harder to get dirty and easier to clean. I used to have a matte screen protector on PDA few years ago and it was a nightmare in terms of screen clarity - pixels were distorted.

OK... The main reason why I'm looking to buy a tempered glass is get rid of it being a finger print magnet.. The protection added is nice too.

It is much better with glass screen protectors containing oleophobic coating (probably most of them, if not all). As they are so cheap, just purchase one and try it..

So are you talking about h9 tempered glass or something else?
I can't find any accessories locally at good price, most are being sold at high rates

Most of the tempered glass protectors which I've seen had oleophobic coating. For example:

I want to buy screen protectors (for both front and back panel). Which is better plastic or tempered glass? What experiences have you got with them? And what manufacturers do you recommend? I want a screen protector that hasn't got large cuts around the camera, just a circle for the camera and another for the flash, and on the front also just a circle for the camera and another for the sensors.
I have the this Glass-M tempered protector. Both friend and back. Haven't had any issues with it for the last one year. The main advantage is that this is slim enough to work with the magnetic dock.

Yeah, it looks good but it's really expensive for a screen protector. You bought it at this price?

Tempered Glass is better for protection than film screen protectors.
Checkout Pthink

If u are using a case, i recommed you the Nillkin 9H tempered glass. Come with the regular plastic for protecting the back and the camera lens. Why? If u are a case user, i dont think tempered glass back will fit ur case.
Honestly, they're all the same, I burnt through the lot of them, Nilkin, Pthink, Hero. They're all the same, I see no difference in quality and durability. I think the Pthink was most resistant to fingerprints, but not by much

I prefer matte/anti-glare screen protectors. Main reason, on glass and glossy plastic surfaces, after using for a while (15-20 minutes), my fingers start to "stick" to the glass. Not really stick, per se, but they don't glide as easily and I have to switch to a different finger. With a matte protector, I never have this issue. Also, they help cut down on reflections. There are draw backs of course. It makes the screen hard to see outdoors (but I rarely use my phone outdoors) and it does reduce brightness a little (but I don't really go over 30% or so when indoors anyway). And they do introduce a touch of graininess.
The best ones I have found are iLLumiShield and Anker. Though the Anker is the best I have used, it is not available on the Z2. I have tried many other matte films, but they all introduce too much graininess. And some affect touch response.
Here is the illumishield for the Z2. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IK46CTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the anker (not for the Z2 though) http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Hig...836544&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+matte+anti-glare
Mocolo
Personally i use Mocolo Screen Protectors, it's really amazing, premium quality, very clear, rounded edges, very smooth, anti scratch
i used it with my previous Z Ultra and now with my Z2 and i'm very pleased with this screen protector

i bought the same tempered glass, no problem at all.
The camera has it's own cut and the back fits as it should..ask for a refund or a resend..
I am looking for one as I have a dbrand skin on my phone (they are great ), most screen protectors are mostly for the whole front part.
Buy a normal screen protector and cut it how you want
I've been looking for one as well, for the same reason. No luck so far. Slickwraps usually include such a screen protector with their orders, but I've no idea how it would perform on our "2.5D" screen. It's also probably not worth ordering a set of skins just for the very average PET film.

The edges won't stick, you'll get a "halo" effect, dust will get in, etc.
You *could* try something from Skinomi, though. I know their wet-apply protectors stick really well on curved glass (I swore by it back in my HTC One X days). You could either try to cut it down to size, if you have such precise tools, or even just stick the whole thing over your skin, it'll probably be fine. Plus you get protection for your nice skin.
I am in the same boat. I'm getting a skin for mine and want to still be able to protect my screen.
Yesterday I received i-croo full screen protector and I think it's the best protection available today. This type of PET must be combined with proper case like Ringke Slim to avoid peeling on edges.

We are looking to cover just the screen though. Not the entire front. We have skins that cover everything on the front but the screen.
Put on a full coverage screen protector.
A wet install one would work the best.
If not a wet install, one like the Spigen Curved Crystal is excellent.
Then apply the front skin directly on top of the protector.
I did this for a while and it worked perfectly with the Spigen Curved Crystal.
The skin actually stuck well to the protector, and the corner cutouts of the protector allow the skin to stick to the screen directly and hold the protector down better.
Here is the amazon link for the Spigen protector, only $8.99 for a 2 pack right now.

I had considered that. Obviously it would stick to a glass protector, but any experience with applying a skin to a wet apply protector? I only ask because I'm not sure I'm sold on using a glass one on the curved screen. Also, thanks for the link!

The glass protectors for the S7 Edge are ALL horrible, do not use them.
The Spigen Curved Crystal is a curved PET protector, it actually fits the phones really well.
There was some problems with the initial batch of protectors but that has been fixed and now they are perfect.

Over the Spigen protector?
That is exactly what I was saying to do, it works perfectly.
I don't understand how glass screen protectors can possibly work. Do you lose screen sensitivity?
Can anybody recommend a few good film (non-glass) screen protectors that will be excellent for the S7?
Thanks.
I bought Spigen but it has not arrived yet.
tpu vs glass. anyone used tpu protector?
Spigen curved screen protector is good enough for me, altho it's not a glass one.

The Spigen curved crystal HD is a bit of a disappointment. Hard to complain for the price (9 bucks for two) but it scratches easily. By the time you're done squeegy-ing it during the install it's full of scratches and looks like hell, especially when off or with the AOD. I guess that's going to be an issue with plastic protectors. I never tried a glass one. Maybe now I will.
you can try clear coat with lifetime warranty
i use original type...screen sensitivity working great.
I use Original screen protector. The best of what I have tried. But this protection is not full-screen.

Currently using Zagg's invisibleshield for my flat s7. I like how it covers tje whole screen and goes side to side, however I don't like the rubbery-like texture of the screen.

Also post SKINS and CASES in this thread.
I started to see bubbles in my screen guard could someone suggest me any good brands which fits perfectly without any bubbles in my Oneplus Nord 2
I've used the original tempered glass screen protector, but it made the fingerprint recognition just pure bad. Besides that it covers up the sides of the screen just a tad, this made some content I use just annoying to read.
I truly hope they release some good thin cases.

I never thought Tempered could affect fingerprint recognition. Give a try to Gadgetshieldz screen guard works well for me. and it's thin and fits perfectly nothing weird. I have couple of my friends using it none complained.
