Just like how on the Note 4 the halo issue is back on the Galaxy S6. I tried tempered glass from iCarez and iSmooth. Neither of them will adhere on the edges. Buyers Beware!
Id settle for them covering the entire screen... Even the pet screen pro don't cover the entire screen.
well you get what you pay for... maybe try a reputable brand? Zagg makes one. doesn't cost $3 though.
or buy a wet application film and be done with it.
From my past experience with the phone I think we won't see a glass screen protector that covers the screen fully, because the glass covering the display is recessed at the end, hence the screen protector can't stick. I doubt it is as bad as on the Note 4, is it?
Not what I wanted to hear.
I picked up a Pure Gear tempered glass from work and it covers the screen edge to edge and no halo issues.

Not sure if I'd agree that it covers "edge to edge" but it looks good nonetheless.
It covers the screen from edge to edge. Just cappy lighting.

Well I highly disagree that it covers the screen from edge to edge, as it obviously doesn't (the lightning has nothing to do with what we see on the pictures), but i gotta agree it is one of the better fitting protectors.

"Edge to edge" usually means the whole front of the phone, not just the screen.

You aren't going to find edge-to-edge tempered glass coverage with the way the glass is on phones like the S6, Note 4, Nexus 6, iPhone 6, etc...
It's just not going to happen.
I'm gonna see what Phantom Glass has up their sleeves for the S6...
wait so there are no edge to edge covers yet for the s6?
I have the same problem with this iloome screen protector.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00US6IVN4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I think I might try this one next since it's much thinner (.10 vs .33) so maybe it will stick on the edges.

The Supershieldz brand I picked up from Amazon was the same way, and their customer service was absolutely awful when I asked to exchange for some PET protectors.
Is the Zagg glass for the S6 even out yet?

I know there is a "Tempered Glass Screen Protector" thread, but since those seem to be ineffective ATM.... Also please leave tempered glass discussion and info in the other thread.
Has anyone tried a dry application or wet application screen protector on your Moto X? I like how wet fit protectors seem to mold perfectly to the phone, but they always feel rubbery which I hate. Dry applied protectors seem to suffer from the same issue the tempered glass protectors do, they don't hold down on the curved edges of the screen.
Has anyone tried anything they like?
I'm using dry protectors sold by Verizon. Sticks very will for me. But it is a fingerprint/smudge magnet!

Edit: HD version
Link, I don't see it on their site.
I emailed the makers of rhino shield to see if they will make one. No response yet...
Yeah strange. I don't see it on the web site either. I was walking through the mall here in phoenix a couple days ago and was able to get one
Rhino shield said they are making one and the preorder page is up.
Please preorder one, it will be quality unlike anything else available. Would hold my breathe on tempered glass due to the curved screen.

Doesn't look like this will happen since there are only 4 pre orders
Any similar to zagg yet?
Since zagg hasn't made one for the moto x 2nd gen, I desperately wanted one. I bought one for an Sammy s5 for 9.95 and modified by cutting the top and bottom off. While the top section and bottom are exposed, the main screen is covered. Width is perfect. Feels so much better than the dry application ones from vzw I had. Combined with my otter box defender with the built in screen protection removed, I'm a happy camper now. Protection with the right feel for me.
For wet skin protectors, give Best Skins Ever a try. I discovered and tried them against Xtremeguard and Skinomi (I refuse to try any other skin brand that goes over $20) back in the days when I had a Nexus 4, which also had a curved screen. I found the BSE skin to have the slickest feel on the screen, and they're cut to within 1mm of the absolute edge of the screen. The back also has 3 separate pieces, for the camera flash and dimple. They run $8.99 for a full skin set. I plan on buying one soon for my incoming Moto X, as a temporary solution until somebody makes a proper fitting tempered glass protector.
I had a MIME screen protector for my S4 and was very happy with it and with their customer service. I ordered their S6 screen protector, and I want to return it but I can't even get them to respond to my messages. Has anyone else used them recently? Has the company just gone off the reservation?

I got a new screen protector for my S5 about 2 months ago through there warranty program and there wasn't any issues. Why do you plan or returning it btw? Is there some issue with it? I ask cause I considered purchasing one for my new S6.
I ordered it without reading about all of the issues others have had with glass screen protectors on the S6, and their website doesn't yet have photos of the glass on the S6. I was very disappointed by the glass not covering the whole front of the phone due to the phone's curved edges. I would rather wait for something that can cover the whole front of my phone.
Yeah the haloing effect due to the S6's curved edges were the reason I haven't bought a screen protector yet either. In terms of MIME not respond to you, I got a hold of them by messaging them through there "contact" page on there website if that helps. However it was for my old S5 a couple months ago.
Thanks. Yeah, I've used that Contact page twice, now, and haven't gotten any response.

I got a cheap brand on Amazon and was shocked at how small it was...I had Mime Ghost on my S5 and it was amazing so I sprung for the same kind on my S6.
No bueno.
It's almost as bad as the cheap one, except it cost $20 more.
I'm wondering if a PVC/vinyl/whatever might be better because it's more flexible.
I've also noticed that dust collects between the edge of the screen protector and the bumper case I've got.

Hey guys, am wondering what accessories you have bought for your R7Plus.
I came across with nice aluminium frame with back cover - got two for 5 euros with postage included (Black Friday deal), I could not resist really
I am very surprised by build quality. The frame is CNC`ed and polished to very high standard and it fits the phone perfrectly. It also has soft pads inside the frame to avoid scratch/damage the phone. The back cover is only plastic with mirror finish. Still looks like metal though.

I've bought a Nillkin H+ Anti-Explosion glass screen protector. I didn't like it because it didn't cover the whole front screen so I came back to plastic film.
I haven't still found a "perfect fit" protector to my phone. Is there a challenge to make a perfect fit screen protector for Oppo R7plus?
Have you found a good glass screen protector anywhere? What is the size of the protector you found?

The one it came fitted on screen was alright I think, still not fully covering the screen as I remember. I took it off screen anyway and I do not use any screen protector in the moment and not even thinking to buy one as my last experience with it was the screen was LESS responsive when fitted. This was on OnePlus One.

Looks nice, how does it feel, do you notice the added size or weight to the phone?
Phone is big enough as it is, but if the protection doesn't feel too clumsy, I would consider it.
How about make a beautifull slim phone look thicker
I have bought xtremeguard screen cover and i´m very satisfied although it was a bitt tricky to apply, i messed up the first attempt so be sure to follow instructions.

Flipview case, anyone know if this will work with CM13
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252449007176
I have the same aluminium frame with back cover but in black. I don't use it because i have GPS reception difficulties. You confirm ?
I was given the oppo car fast charger, its really very good. But if your planning on using maps, music and charger at the same time I recommend a phone holder that attaches to your cars air-conditioning vent to keep it cool other wise phone will be boiling and switch off fast charge.
Hi guys ! For years I've been using Spigen products and I am loving them. However today I received tempered glass and I am less than satisfied. As we all know REGULAR galaxy S 7 also have curved edges of the glass, not LCD like in our bigger brother "SGS7 EDGE" but little bit curved glass. So any type of protection for the glass should be curved just a little bit but curved. Anything that is straight will be no good. And I honestly thought that Spigen did exactly that I never even had a single thought that they'll mess up like this. Basically all around edges where glass starting to curve a bit Tempered glass can't stick on for obvious reasons and all dust and particles in few days will be there and ... well it's nasty to have screen with dust all over. After this I am writing to Spigen and asking for my money back cause even cheap chinese eBay sellers have SGS7 CURVED tempered glass so it's properly aligned with curved glass. I wonder what do they do with SGS7 EDGE, they also sell straight glass ?
Anyhow I continue to support Spigen but I guess I'll do a little bit more research next time because I blindly trusted them before. I REALLY hope they'll come up with proper tempered glass SOON in meanwhile I'll use this then once Chineese one comes I'll use that unless Spigen can deliver proper protection. Also case by them is absolutely amazing, light and military grade drop protection.
Here is Case I purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262318822840?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Not Glass like the OP's screen protector
I decided not to buy it because many people said about the side edge glass won't curve with the phone.
I just bought S7 for a week now but I still left my screen unguarded. I only have Spigen's Crystal Shell case equipped.
On the other hand, that Curved Crystal HD screen protector wasn't glass. It's just normal screen protector with level 3 hardness and it won't guard against the shock impact. I hope they will step up the game and release the 9H curved glass protector like any cheap brand on the market right now. I wanted to use the glass like my old S4 with Glas.tr on it for 3 years and it still unbroken and unscratched.

I have had the Note 4 LED flip case for almost 2 years and it is amazing.
I will definitely be getting this one for Note 7 too.
One thing I wonder, could the case part scratch the rear glass on the phone ? I think it is made out of plastic so I am worried about the back getting scratched due to dust/sand that gets in between.
Perhaps leave the original plastic on the back or get a Dbrand skin ?

It's just a thin body skin, you shouldn't have any problems with any case fitting over it.
Regardless, keeping things clean is key:
The Gorilla Glass 5 is tougher than Gorilla Glass 4,but,a LOT more prone to scratching.
It apparently only rates 3H on the hardness scale before scratching, barely beating out plastic.
A test hit the tech sites earlier today,a YouTube video shows the results.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571pu66vEBc
I agree. A full body skin protects the back and sides of the phone. I use the IQ shield. It will not add thickness or interfere with nfc / wireless charging / cases. Im using both of these with no issue.

There's no case that will protect from scratch on the rear. Neither slap a back screen protector on, or consider Dbrand or Slickwrap. My S7 edge got scratched because of this.
I have the spigen wallet case on my s7e for over 6 months with no issues at the back of my glass!
There's a similar leather wallet case for the Note 7 and cause it's Spigen, quality would be excellent!
