Case + Scratch Guard
Hi Team,
Since SGR doesnt sport a Gorilla Glass display, which is the best combination of Case + Scratch Guard to protect it?
I've already ordered case mate barely there. Quality of CM is usually very high.
About screen protectors- so I haven't seen/tested any good one. All of them are cheap, self-adhesive **** impossible to apply and avoid bubbles. Either Zagg or Copter doesn't support our device yet, but maybe some of you found a decent one?
EDIT: I've just given a shot to this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150684872722#ht_1976wt_1026
According to users' opinions it gives a decent protection for perfect price.

I only buy matte screen protectors off eBay.
Usually i got for the cheapest **** there. I cannot tell the difference between a $20 and a $1 screen protector.
The best way to put on the protector is to apply it right after removing the original protector that comes when u buy the phone brand new.
I know i know.....Most of u buy the protectors AFTER u buy the phone.
I've always bought the protectors and case before i buy the phone hahaha.
Nevermind this.
Next, never use the microfibre cloth **** they provide for free.
Usually the cheap yellow cloth they give is useless.
I have 1 from Ray Ban, 1 from Swarowksi, 1 from Oakley.
Use the best u can afford. The difference is great !
Wipe down the entire phone.
Careful never to touch the screen.
Some ppl apply a few drops of water on the screen for moving it after applying.
I dun.
Make sure no dust or specks.
If any, use a sticky tape.
Dun peel of the whole screen protector.
Follow this method....
This is similar to how i do it.

Cheers !
Thanks a lot mate!
I've usually followed all steps you wrote but always some small piece of **** goes under the film and as a result I get unremovable bubble, so I don't trust those self-adhesive protectors. I've already used 5 of them (cheap **** between 2 and 7 USD) and never succeeded I've always had better luck with zagg's invisible shield, i mean those applicable with water.
So you have to buy a Swarovski Crystal for 1000US$ to get the cloth and then be able to clean the screen.
hehe... just joking....
Good guide.
I used Vikuiti screen protectors in the past and found them very good
I don't see the ones i used before, but they have several ones for the Galaxy R

If u get **** under the film just before setting it down, lift up the film and use sticky/celo tape and pick it up. then continue laying down the film.
Only release the film down completely when u cannot see any dirt specks between screen n film.
User a tooth pick/hook/pin....anything that will not leave stain or grease.
our fingers are grease magnets.
buy those 10 sheets for under $5-8 from eBay and practice.
U will become Master Screen Protector Installer !

Thanks you Guys..
Agreed that CaseMate is one of the best quality for cases. Which type would be good enough to withstand accidental drops? Rubber/Jelly/Hard Case?
Also, is there a suggested brand for the screen protectors? I require one that is scratch & fingerprint-resistant.
Read online that Matt-type protectors make the screen look dim! Is it true?
Thanks in advance,

For accidental drops, I've found TPU and Leather cases the best.
They stay on the phone after the phone drops.
Hard cases, either plastic(coloured type) or polycarbonate(transparent type) with pop off the phone when dropped.
Matte protectors are finger-print resistant but allows about 80%(just my guess....so dun sue me if found otherwise) of light to pass through.
Clear screen protectors allow almost all the light(99% my guess) to pass through from the screen output.
The worst is mirror screen protector which allows about 60%(my guess again) of light.
All the figures are based on the fact the screen brightness is at maximum n only an assumption.
So it all depends on ur requirements and needs.
Cheers !

Sure you can apply water to everything...but some of protectors just won't work (known from my own experience)
Some of them are applicable with water some of them (mostly the cheapest) are not. I tried to apply the latter with water anyway...and they ended up in a thrash can

Does anyone still use them? I'm debating taking mine off, but Idk if I should, the small crack on my screen just got a little bit bigger. I'm wondering if in general the gorilla glass is strong enough to hold up, or having a screen protector is needed?

Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I still use em.
Planning my escape!
I've read somewhere on XDA that Gorilla Glass will supposedly resist scratching from steel, but a grain of sand can still scratch it. I don't like taking a chance that I'm going to swipe the screen with a little bit of sandy soil on my finger. I always use a screen protector. Having to wipe it on my shirt to get fingerprints off is a small price to pay for an added layer of protection.
umm...I think a screen protector is like a condom.
It feels good and looks good without it.
But when there is a ..."situation"...there will remorse when you don't have it on.
Keeping a screen protector on or off will depend on your life philosophy and experience.
edit: because I take other precautions, I go bare.
FWIW I'm currently using this one and am very happy with it.

It's easy to apply and hides fingerprints, not sure about soiled ones though...
As with all screen protectors it can change the appearance of screen images, but so can finger oil, dings and cracks.

I am seeing a lot of screen protectors coming out on amazon, that are from small companies, was wondering if anybody has ever tried them and which one is the best one? Should I go try some of them out or wait for Zagg to come out of one of their own for the Moto Z/Z force?
Never felt like paying the premium for Zagg stuff; I've been using Skinomi protectors on my last three phones (it's the same material as Zagg/GadgetGuard etc). Have the TechSkin on my Z Force and it fits PERFECTLY, right up to the edge. Tried the MatteSkin once, but found it de-contrasted my screen way too much.

Well crap. I thought it was the Force that had the 2.5D screen edges. We aren't ever going to get a decent glass screen protector for this phone. My S7 was just like this and as popular as it is doesn't have a good glass screen protector.

how is the fit?
I wish I would have come across this thread before I bought the IQ Shield Tempered Glass protector. Clarity and feel are amazing but the edges don't seal!! It really grinds my gears.
Just bought a generic tempered glass (I highly doubt it is real tempered glass, maybe just some plastic). It is really cheap, not prone to fingerprints, and it makes the screen look great. Adhesion is nice, no abnormal lifts from the sides. Here are some pictures and the price tag.
I'm jealous, that seal looks perfect! I paid twice as much and mine is lifted on the left, right, and bottom edges.

Installed today... The front screen protector is of good quality and attach perfectly on screen even if it is a bit small in size in all directions in my opinion. Great transparency and print resistance too...
The back one is like old screen protections and it's impossible to fit it without a lot of bubble...
Too much for me so I removed... It's a pity since it had a good print resistance too... that was really needed.
Anyone found a screen protector that covers the entire front?

So the link I posted last week, I realized that was for the Moto Z Force and I just have the Moto Z/Moto Z Droid. So I purchased this one and will be returning the other one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GUKL5W0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here are some photos to show how much it covers the phone: https://goo.gl/photos/fokxXnJzSq58zKAU6
I didn't get it on exactly perfect but if I did then I think it would have been pretty close to full coverage. I'm considering pull it off and replacing it. Also, I bought a full body protector so that I could put something on the back to protect from scratches and some finger prints. When I pulled it out and looked at it before applying it to the phone then I noticed there was no hole for the gold connection pins to pass through. I was very disappointed. Here is a link to the full body protector.

I'm amazed at the lack of official accessories for the launch.
Then again, look what happened to best buy/target.
I guess we will just have to wait...
I received mine. Haven't installed it yet. But it's in my grubby little hands. Mobilefun VERY early order.
Ok, installed.
Fits better than many of the aftermarket ones based on what I've seen for reviews. Sides are curved already, little cutouts at the corners so they don't pull up.
After several hours of bubblepushing, I've got it almost perfect. I also think letting it get nice and heated up on the wireless charger helped, tho one of the sides still has some bubbles and the curved screen makes it really tough to push them out. They get shoved around. I suspect all would have similar issues.
it feels less rubbery than say a Zagg, not as smooth as glass. The curves do NOT make it easier to install but if you take your time, and have plenty of patience, it should go fine.
Inside the box, you get 2 screen protectors, a 2 inch square microfiber cloth and some dust removal stickers. No cleaner, no instructions but the case had nice foam padding.... It does not state wet or dry install. I went with dry.
I scrapped the stickers and mf cloth and used real cleaner and a much bigger microfiber cloth. Also got my bathroom all steamy to clear dust particles because there's nothing more OCD than a big piece of lint under your screen.
Now, you're going to want to know if it'll work with cases. Here's the rub. I only have the official S-VIEW case and it seemed to be fine there, didn't push up the sides "YET".
I've had it out of the case for HOURS after the install and just put it in 10 minutes ago.
Samsung got the fit nearly perfect, not unexpected. It is their device.
It's NOT the cheapest one out there and it seems rather hard to find for now, but so far, I'm "ok" with it. Time will tell.
I'll post at a later date/time if the sides start pushing up or the remaining bubbles don't get worked out. I cannot test it with any other case as I almost always use the s-view one.

I think you can get them for CA from the same website, from what I gather everything is shipped from the UK anyway.
Edit: Yup, found it: http://ca.mobilefun.com/official-samsung-galaxy-note-7-screen-protector-60374
Is there an orange-peel effect on this original Samsung screen protector? Since it's a bit rubbery like Zagg.
No orange peel effect, it's not like the original Zagg, more like the HD one. Feels like hard plastic and not glass tho.
followup notes.
Still attached to the sides fine. Have taken the phone in and out of the sview case several times now to put in the Gear VR. Not once has it pushed up the sides.
The remaining bubbles have worked their way out now. I switched tips on my spen as suggested and it feels fine.
I think it's a keeper. Plus they give you 2 so I have a spare for when/if I tear this one up.
What tip you did you switch too? I got my screen protector on the way.

The white one felt the best. YMMV.
Hmmm, I dunnooo.......
I have serious doubts about this being actual OEM. But if it works, HEY, why not (key takeaway)....been trying to get this since before release. If China can make Burberry bags that are identical to their "genuine" counterparts well then........
Anyway, if the ones from "Mobile Fun" really are OEM, I am curious to know how they got them, seeing as though Samsung themselves haven't started selling this item yet.
I think the design is ingenious, with the corner niches to allow for adherence to the beveled corners and curved sides.

I should add that I'm using an IQ Shield. First one was total garbage, they sent a replacement, just applied the replacement they sent me (looks like it might be a winner, though it's curing now so will update with results.
Requires extreme patience, minimal spray and a hairdryer but it IS possible. Sorry to take off track.

UPDATE* Second IQ Shield is better, and let me tell you, I followed the instruction video, and card perfectly, BUT, the edges are starting to lift again.
Ordered the (as advertised) OEM Screen Protector from MobileFun.com ... So this will have to do for now, until the Samsung one comes in.
And lastly, I see everyone blaming the manufacturers of screen protectors, they are all garbage, because it's near impossible getting the curved edges and beveled corners to stay down, even with a wet install.
The Note 7 has a sharp curve, as opposed to a slight arch (like on previous Samsung curved screens), hence it is that much harder to keep down.

Is there any difference between the tips? i.e. white is softer, or vice versa??

I'm using the OEM screen protector and clear view cover. Both are working well together

UPDATE* Second IQ Shield is better, and let me tell you, I followed the instruction video, and card perfectly, BUT, the edges are starting to lift again.
Ordered the (as advertised) OEM Screen Protector from MobileFun.com ... So this will have to for now, until the Samsung one comes in.
And lastly, I see everyone blaming the manufacturers of screen protectors, they are all garbage, because it's near impossible getting the curved edges and beveled corners to stay down, even with a wet install.
The Note 7 has a sharp curve, as opposed to a slight arch (like on previous Samsung curved screens), hence it is that much harder to keep down.

So I am the second version. Should into try it? In have the first version and it works really well. Just have some of the edges raising. Is the updated version smaller?

Anyone have issues with the factory screen protector on the inner screen? I'm noticing it's starting to unglue at the edge where the screen folds. Is that normal? Is that covered by Samsung's care plan?
I have the same issue on my device

I guess you will have it in the next months or so. Unfortunately I can't send any pictures due to travelling without my other phone.
Got the same as well. But for what I'm told, you can send it in or drop it off in a service point from Samsung. There is a youtuber who filmed the whole thing @ samsung service point.

Same happened with mine, I contacted Samsung and they advised me to go to the repair centre in my city and advised me I will be charged for this.
In the end I said f this and just peeled it off, now I understand why everyone was so keen on doing it in the first place and I have been free of it for about 3 weeks now.
Plenty of good 3rd party screen protectors that go on great and feel much better. I swapped mine out a couple of times now. Am currently trying a matte protector.

It really doesn't bother me at this point, but if it gets worst ill most likely yank it off. I'm not good at all at installing screen protectors...

What do you think about the matte screen protector? How much does it affect the image quality?

To be honest it is a real compromise between fingerprints and reflections vs screen quality. The matte is definitely more grainy and doesn't seem quite as bright. Its not terrible in my opinion but it may bug the heck out of you.

I had the matte for the front display but couldn't stand the grainy screen. The quality drop was significant especially on white or lite colours. But when the screen was off there were no smudges and my fingers glided smoothly over the display. Now back to clear anyways.

I bought a second hand Z Fold 2. It should be here Monday. The previous owner put a matte protector on it. I went ahead and ordered a clear one, because I don't think I'll like the matte. Screen quality is really important to me. I just kinda hoped your answer would be. "It's great! Can't even tell it's there!"
But alas, looks like I'll be swapping screen protectors.
Thank you for your response too.

Yes. It will drive you crazy. I tried watching a video this morning and it was very noticeable. Must be the material used though. I have a matte protector on my Ipad pro and it doesn't effect the screen quality any where near as much.
Yup. HATED the matte SP. I loved the feel and the lack of fingerprints, and hoped I could get used to it. Until I watched a movie. It looked like watching a worn out redubbed version of a movie on VHS.
Ripped that screen protector right off and replaced it with a Gobukee clear screen protector. MUCH better!!
Can anyone provide a link for the interior screen protect? I need to buy one because it's constantly ungluing in the middle?
Thank you.
facing same issue after three months.
I've bought Orzero 2 pack, installation is bit of painful but after that is very nice.

I just installed the Ozero about five days ago. I noticed yesterday that it was starting to peel up on the edges right at the crease. Planned to change it out this weekend. Then today I opened the phone and the Orzero completely let go at the crease. From top to bottom it came loose from the screen. I'll try to post a pic tonight of it when I'm home and have access to my other phone.
I'll try the other Ozero screen protector I have and hope this was a fluke, since I love how smooth these feel, but if the next one lets go like this one, I'll go back to Gobukee. I never had an issue with them.
