Impressive design on Galaxy S6 Edge+,yet it would be another challenge for manufacturers, for now on amazon and spigen and otterbox, none of them released tempered glass screen protector for the S6 Edge+, just share your finding with experience if possible...

I think if they do, even the glass protector would need to have curve. 2.5D display of Note4/5 or edge display of the Edge variant wouldn't be covered completely otherwise. And even if they come up with something like that, I would assume the price would be too high..
I hope skinomi makes this for the edge +
Give them some time and I'm sure temper glass edge to edge protectors will be available

Looks nice but no brand name to research reviews to see how it well it covers so 25 from a unnamed company that ships directly from China is definitely too much!
Plus paying $25 and you may get the screen protector between now and Halloween.
I got the skinomi screen protector. I guess this is the best selling on amazon for this phone, but i dont recommend it. There are plastic indentations of on the screen, its wet install so no bubble, but its a nightmare to install, cos even if u wet install it, and squeeze out the water with a squeezee, the skin wont stay on the screen.
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-TechSkin-Replacement-Definition-Anti-Bubble/dp/B011M7ZTUA
Waiting for spigen or some other known brand to come up with a curved tampered glass screen protector.
I figured $25 to protect my $850 phone until a better cheaper version is available was worth the chance to me. Trust me I wish there were more options but that is not the case right now

I have that same one on my screen right now and the install was simple. No bubbles and it has stayed on with no issue. It's clear and looks good.
Either you got a defective one or you are not experienced installing a wet apply protector.

Its not defective, and i never said there are bubbles, i've been installing screenprotectors since the inception of the first generation of iphones, but lets not judge each other, to each their own. I dont like it.

I'm not judging you, I just offered a couple guesses of what could have been the issue. I also never said that you said there were bubbles. I was sharing my experience.
I understand that you don't like it and you are entitled to your opinion of course. For the $1 that I paid, I'm cool with it.

Take pics and tell us if it fully covers when you get it?
Finally, it will come out with perfect match to the edge+ or something.
The one I ordered shipped today. I also noticed a bunch of new people selling similar tempered glass edge to edge protectors on ebay.
I've also ordered Skinomi and yes,it's wet install and kind of tricky but luckily I was able to have a successful install. It's kind of soft and rubbery feel, but not much that cause worry or distraction. I'm actually loving it.
I've got the same one (skinomi) on my phone. Installation was a breeze. No bubbles or peelings, but I do hate the fact that there are some dust on the edges of the screen protector, none on the screen tho. I also hate the rubbery feeling, but for now it will have to do until I can get my hands on the tempered sp. I almost always go with the Zagg tempered glass, since it features a lifetime warranty.

I would have to Agree i used the Skinomi on my Note 4 edge ,most people couldn't believe I had a screen protector on it it was that hard to see, and the curve on the note4 edge is a lot more of and angle .........just my 2 cent's , just a tip for those that are using any type of wet application I would suggest you get a bowl , like a large salad bowl fill it half way with water and then add a few drop's of dish detergent not too much , it allow's you to get your finger's and the screen protector evenly wet and if you see a hair or a piece of dirt or whatever just pull it off submerge the screen protector to get what ever that was either on the screen or on the protector or the screen and start over again , ever since I saw this tip from somewhere here on XDA it's never failed three different phones and perfection ..........:good:
I just put on the techfilm dry install and it wouldn't show in a picture that's how thin it is. No bubbles full coverage, had to use a flashlight to make sure it was on. Best protector I've ever used on any phone. Oh and no rubber feeling like I've heard about others

actually, don't worry too much. i've used mediadevil on my S2 and it's been great. they're available for the S4 too.
Actually, you don't need to apply any protector to your phone, if you can stand for very minor scratch to your screen.
The corning glass is excellent scratch proof, I have been using no screen protector since my first iPhone 4 and coming with samsung s3, s4, iphone 5 and etc.... What you get is a better screen, color and contrast if you just don't mind the minor scratches.

I bought a cheap glass screen protector off of amazon. It was some generic one from China. With Amazon prime free shipping I couldn't pass it up.
pros: super clear, finger print resistant, protects screen well
cons: breaks after some abuse (though better this than the screen)
When my first one broke after considerable abuse I ordered two more to replace it. at $10 it wasn't bad. When the one I have on now breaks, I'll just pop my backup on and order another spare.
This cheap and the feel of real glass vs the Ghost Armor I had before, it's great.

I got mine on eBay and have the same philosophy. The glass fells like the screen and under abuse the tempered glass will crack.
It happened to me recently and I installed my spare and bought two more.
Can't beat the way the glass ones look and feel.
I also bought an aluminum button to extend the factory button. So now the home button is not recessed.
I have had my iloome screenmate for a good while and it hasn't cracked or anything and it has been used.
Glass is the only way to go

$20 is cheap insurance to protect your screen. A plastic one isn't going to protect your screen from damage. It may protect it from scratches but not from being busted if your phone is dropped.

You can't go wrong with the SPIGEN SGP Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector, once you install it correctly it really holds and protects the screen from pocket scruffs.
My cousin got into a motorcycle accident last year and the screen protector w/ the Spigen slim armor case protected his phone.
Tempered glass is the only thing for me from now on. $5 on eBay. Feels excellent, optically clear to me. Same screen sensitivity to me.
No need to blow 20+$ on big names. I break it, buy 5 more. No big deal.
Buy plastic sheets and the scratch and peel off in a week.
Even no name temp glass is better.
For me is the anti-glare screen protectors, for read is the best choice.
I figured that there would not be any glass screen protectors made for the Note Edge since it would be too difficult for manufacturers to produce.
However, I'm constantly searching the web in the hopes that some company does produce it. To my surprise, I found the following website(looks to be out of stock), but supposedly they are creating one:
http://www.techarmor.com/tech-armor...earest-screen-protector-retail-packaging.html
Let's help each other out and place any links for other Glass Protectors for the Note Edge that may come along in the future.
I have a feeling any glass screen protectors they make will not cover the edge screen
ebay has some

but they only cover the front and not the edge.
i doubt there will be any that will cover the edge anytime soon. Its going to be pretty hard to make it fit just right without a space between the screens.
Plastic protectors would have some give to them so it would bend over.

Yea I had a fosman case order before I got the edge. It came in the day before I pick it up in store. I paid $4 on ebay.
I had screen protectors but they didn't cover the edge. So had to order some more.
I never had a glass screen protector before, since I always put a protectors on day one. But I must say I like the glass feel or the device. So I kinda hope they make a full glass protector.

Philly, did the skinomi work? I love bestscreensever but they will not be making any. I used them for years and years. My note 3 still have the original from Oct 2013 and still in great shape.
I have not used it yet ,picked up the nexus 6 yesterday been setting that up, plus very busy with work , however I have both skinomi protectors on my desk I'm hoping I have time later today to install, I'll let you know and post a few pictures as soon as I can..
I bought a universal screen protector from zagg and cut it to fit my note edge. The one I bought is bigger than the entire lcd on the phone and the zagg's don't try to stay flat so it wrapped around the edge display nicely.

I wonder how this will fit.. It's only a few bucks, guess I'll give it a shot, assuming it won't cover the edge, not sure how it will fit like that, but I guess we will find out.
What the he'll J currently unavailable......? Lol. Just teasing I'll give it a shot when it's available currently using the skinomi not bad bubble free you can barely tell it's on, but nothing beats glass
I'm thinking of getting a tempered glass protector for the flat screen and get the clear self healing ones everyone here talks about for the edge portion.
Trace the self healing protector with the the glass one and cut the edge part off the self healing one.
Apply the glass protector and then apply the cutout of the edge.
I tried looking for that glass protector on ebay but now it's gone. Anyone know where I can get more?
I too have the skinomi brand and am impressed with it. I also reviewed it on amazon. It fits perfectly and still has the finger print issue I mentioned on amazon. However I have also noticed a lot of screen errors in the form of inadvertent screen presses and zoom in/out while trying to scroll. Since I have had the screen protector since nearly day one I do not know if this is an issue with the phone itself or the barrier/drag of the skinomi material.
I do like the feel though. It is nearly un-noticeable.

The tech armor glass screen protector "coming soon" status reminds me of the subway just built near my house. when I was in freshman year of college and wife in high school, is when we first saw the "coming soon" sign. That was in 2005. they just finished building it last month and it's still not open for business, lol. That how I feel about this screen protector
I ordered Alien Surface HD front and rear. I'll tell you how good it is.
I wonder if there is an edge to edge screen for this one?
I installed the film on the screen, it fits very well, full size. Great care when installing! I am very satisfied. It remains to be seen how the resistance is.
Instructions must be followed strictly and installation kit helps a lot.

The bad part is that it's only available in Romania.
Curious of people's thoughts given the inclusion of gorilla glass 4 which is supposed to be pretty good. If you are going to use one, standard or going to thicken it up with tempered glass?
I don't put them on with phones using a curved display, in this case 2.5d or whatever they're calling it. I don't like when the tempered glass doesn't cover the entire screen. I'll just be using one of the clear spigen cases
Already ordered a $4 tempered glass protector on Amazon and should have it here by Tuesday.
I prefer glass since it feels better than the plastic protectors but thats just my opinion. It's either you protect with a case and some form of screen protector, or you don't at all.
I haven't tried a screen protector since my droid incredible and even took that one off. I get phone about every 6 months and have never used them. No scratches visible to naked eye on any. Doesn't mean they're not needed at all, just not for my uses or wifes
Nope. Never had, never will. No screen protector, no case. I'm just careful with my stuff.

youre just like my dad, i don't know how he has kept his iphone 5 and currently 6, in perfect condition w/o any protector or case
I've got an S3 in perfect condition without a screen protector. I won't be getting one for the S6 either but I WILL be purchasing a warranty plan from Samsung.. just in case.
i never installed one on my S3 and sold it after having it for a year without a single scratch,. i have an S4 now for the past 2 years, no protector and screen is still flawless as if it came out of the box.. so my S6 won't have one either.
My Nexus 5 shattered pretty easily, so I'll be using a tempered glass screen protector
I'll be ordering this.
Had my current device (at least the one I've kept) with nothing but the paltry Gorilla Glass 2 on it for over two years now. Screen remains in immaculate condition.
No screen protector for me.

K, thanx for the heads-up.
Yes. It wouldn't hurt to have a screen protector on your phone. It's added protection. Here's what I've found on Amazon. It's currently on sale for $1.95, pretty cheap yet high quality screen protectors. Check this out.

i work construction, phone is in my pocket all day. i use my legs to help pick things up and push so im real interested in this temp. glass
never bother with a screen protector with any of my phones with gorilla glass. Even though gorilla glass still scratches none were noticeable with the screen on. The feel and clarity of a naked screen is so much better than any screen protector including temp glass ones. I would only consider a temper glass screen protector if im not using a case but i rather have a bulk of a case than having to use a screen protector.
Yes, Spigen as always!

^^what he said^^
I literally never ever drop my phones and can usually keep my phones scratch/ding free, even on the screen.
at most i'll buy a phantom skin/invisihield to use on the back of the phone when i lay it on a surface, but the screen always stays uncovered.
I ordered a screen protector yesterday for $1.99. It'll be more than sufficient until some of the glass ones are refined and are perfect.

I've always used a tempered glass on phones... no matter how much I take care the glass always seems to get micro-scratches which drive me up the wall....
I take really good care of my phones, I don't even use a case on most phones and have never dropped or broken a phone.
My question goes out to the guys who have S7e, N7, anything with a curvature really.. how do you protect the screen? Do you need to?
Do you find that the screen itself is scratch resistant enough? More so than tempered glass protectors?
I know there are form fit protectors now, but I read a LOT of bad reviews about them. I'm worried about buying the S8+ because of the super curvy edges.
Usually screen protectors don't work very well with curved screen, as you might know.
JerryRigEverything made a video about it being super easy to scratch, but he made an error and used wrong type (afaik) and in fact Gorilla Glass 5 was pretty much durable from easy scratches like keys etc.
Am waiting for this to be back in stock. Betting on Otter this time.

I own the S7 Edge and have tried a variety of screen protectors. Glass Ones are difficult to fit, but I have found several that have been adequete. Not perfect but ok. There have also been a few very good plastic screen protectors that worked exceptionally well - Spigen had a CURVED glass screen protector that was excellent and Body Glove also had one that was very good.
I have seen a few on Amazon that look like they are going to be ok - and none of them, even the glass ones are too expensive. You may have to do some trial and error to find the one you like the best, but I am confident you will find something that works. I know I will.
Skinomi wate install protector normally works. The only problem i have is after a few months the edges will get dirty.
They sell some really stickey flim protectors. But those sratch very easy.
I always put a protector on my phones because things can always happen no matter how careful you are.
When I got my S7 edge last year I tried a few curved screen protectors and was disappointed with them, eventually they all peeled off. (Reluctantly) I have not used a screen protector since and can honestly say my screen looks as good as day one. When I get my S8+ (Very soon I hope ) I wont be using a screen protector unless something outstanding comes to the market.
I got a tempered glass kit that should be here soon, with a case. I also picked up the Strada series Otterbox, I will likely use the Strada case, as it will fully protect the phone, and still look nice, this way I dont have to worry about micro scratches.
I have owned an edge mobile since the day they where released, I NEVER found a satisfactory solution to protecting the screen with any sort of screen saver and I tried dozens. S6 edge, S6 edge+ Note 7 and S7 edge. Its been hell. I have found some that have been 'okay' until one uses a case then they start to peel off. Some have glue only around the edges and eventually allow micro dust in between the saver and screen. The plastic membrane sort have been an equal nightmare.
If you read the numerous posts on this subject in the various Edge forum here you will soon learn that going without can and will save you a headache. I use a flip case. I used the Samsung LED flip case on both my Note 7's and have pre ordered the same case for the S8+
Those edges are pigs to protect with a saver. The Note 7 Used Samsung own skin and they where still a disaster.
Now the good news. To date and all these years latter never even got a micro scratch on the screen. Having said that if one drops ones mobile.......
I use a flip case and that appears to be the only solution I have found to this situation. BTW even those glass screen savers that only cover the flat part of the screen are not so good as they make such an ugly mess of a beautiful screen, some of them do work though.
I understand the edges on the S8's are the most acute to date so though I can't foresee the future I am still not confident a full screen saver will be found. Lets hope it doesn't prove a problem. I, for one, wont even try and cover the screen, way to much hassle.

I have both the note 7 and s7 edge and have had zero luck with glass protection.
There are several plastic protectors i used which worked fine but i hate the feel so peeled them off.
Running both naked now and no issues.

I bought a 2-pack of the shark proof wipe on liquid. I'll try this this time over a screen protector:

Last time with the gs7 edge, I got my screen protector from Best buy. They use some kind of machine that has exact dimension of the phone and they install it. This was the perfect screen protector , that i ever got. Note it's plastic so, it will feel not so good. This time i'm planning the same thing if best buy offers it.

Skinomi wate install protector normally works. The only problem i have is after a few months the edges will get dirty.
They sell some really stickey flim protectors. But those sratch very easy.
I always put a protector on my phones because things can always happen no matter how careful you are.

I've been using Skinomi for a good while and my edges are pretty clean still (but this is on a flat screened phone). I'm hoping that it stays like that for the S8+ on the curved screen.
The other issue besides fit is how the screen looks with them on. I have never been able to find a plastic protector that doesn't mess with the quality of the screen. It's such a beautiful screen I hate to put something on that messes that up.

Please let us know how that works out; or if it's just expensive snake oil?
The note 7`s gg5 was excellent and as I was returning both I went naked, and they looked perfect after a couple of months of abuse! I do have gg3 on another phone but sadly it hasn't held up so well.
Put it this way on previous phones I've probably spent around £100 or more trying to find a perfect protector.....its cheaper to buy insurance and claim on it than suffer with crappy screen protectors.

I just got my essential phone and I'm really honestly digging it. I think that it's a very nice phone that fits my needs well.
However, within a day and a half I have already scratched my screen. Its dead center on the screen and like an inch long Literally got the phone on Saturday and scratched it by Monday early AM. I didn't do anything with the phone besides take it in and out of my pocket. Didn't even make it to work with the phone yet. So I'm pretty upset about that.
I know it's gorilla glass 5, but I have never scratched a phone so quick before. Hell my old phone (Moto X pure) Only had one small scratch after running it for 2.5 years without any screen protection at all, including numerous drops and rough handling.
So I guess a screen protector is a must. I ordered a tudia case and a tempered glass screen protector off Amazon. The screen protector is garbage. I hate it. The edges of the screen protector do NOT stick down, even without the case. The edge all the way around the screen is lifted. It looks terrible.
Are there any screen protectors for this phone that are actually decent? I would rather deal with the chance of more scratches than stare at this awful screen protector with unstuck edges.
Photo of the terrible edges.
I'm curious to know too
I haven't found a good tempered glass for this phone. They all seem to have issues. I've been using the IQ Shield wet install screen protector. Not tempered glass but looks and feels great (almost as smooth as glass), self healing and works with cases if you get the case friendly version.

glass screen protectors are nicer, but they suck on this phone.
I went with wet install plastic in the end because it does the main reason for one, protect from scratches, I'm confident it will.
I just hate the wet install process.
but my experience with glass is it doesn't protect from breaking anyway. any significant hit that would break the screen will break the screen no matter what. I think a bumper case is most effective.
I'm using the this one.

You need to clean your screen really, really, really good before you apply it.
Any oils will show up as a rainbow effect or something close.
I've been using it for weeks now with no lifting with a Tudia case.
Some people say they pop off. That has not been my experience. YMMV

I also use this one. I have actually already gone through 5 of them... It seems like some of them are more sticky than others maybe. Initially I used them without out a case and they would come off all the time, but since I've had the Tudia case 1 fell off and the new one has been on there 3 weeks.
My opinion is they are hit or miss... just hope 1 of 3 is good.

My guess is that these don't stick to the edges as well, but they are black, so you can't see it, therefor they peel off

That is correct, but I have tried a couple of other brands as well and they are all like that. I only continue to buy these because there come as a 3 pack and are like $10.

What I don't understand is why they are having such an issue with it, I had the LG V20 and it has curved edges, but they make them for it with no issues

Manufacturers not that bright?
I use incipio, be careful, the installation instructions are very tricky, I messed up mine while installing, lost 40$
I'm waiting to see if they will send me a new one
So is the Incipio screen protector any good? I don't even care that it's $40, if it sticks down properly without the bubble around the edges I'll buy it.
I am also interested in finding a better screen protector. I have been using the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin, which worked great for a few weeks, but now a corner is peeling up, I assume from pulling it in and out of my pocket. I might go ahead and get another one if I can't find anything better. Would love a tempered glass protector if someone actually makes a decent one!

Bought a 3 pack of the ozeros on Amazon. 1st on sucked. 2nd one I put on a few weeks later has been perfect. No rainbow of adhesion issues. Use a clear tpu case with it as well.

Where did you purchase? I'm not even seeing it for the Essential PH-1 on the official website....Nevermind, had to do a manual search for our model.
