It is so sad to see samsung dropping the ball big time on the durability of their phones. Remember the galaxy S1 and S2? They still remain some of the toughest touch screen phones. However all that changed with the S3 which broke on the first sight of concrete and sometimes by merely getting some force inside the pocket or so I have heard. Now again seems same story with S4 all over again.
I think the main reason for all this is the ridiculous obsession with thinness, corning clearly seemed to have dropped the ball. Or is it samsung who doesnt care about it anymore?
Samsung did not drop the ball. There are just as many posts in the HTC One forums of people cracking screens. Even the Iphone 5 and 4s have widespread reports of cracked screens.
When you mix a thin device with ultra thin edge to edge glass, you really can't expect it to survive every impact.
Glass isn't diamond, nor are Sapphire screens indestructible, as thin as they are made if you hit them in the right spot they will crack.
It is the price we pay for having sleek devices. Quit your whining.

What I think is that gorilla glass 2 and 3 are really stronger, but those manufacturers take the advantage of it,
maintaining a level of sturdiness (which seems very low?) but keep making the glass thinner, which could make the phone slimmer.
The S3 has a curved glass which sticks out of the bezel of the phone, which I think is the reason of why S3 is weaker than S2.
but S4...
It's hard to say how much of it is the glass itself and how much is the rest of the phone design. My S1 has been a tank for sure (at least half a dozen hard drops) but the plastic bezel around the glass is so much thicker than on the new phones.
I'm being careful but I doubt a bare S4 would survive hard drops so I got a clear rubbery case for it. Funny thing is when I look at the two phones the case brings the S4 to about the same thickness, and also adds about the same 'buffer zone' around the glass. Check it out here: http://imgur.com/a/YPCPn#1
I'm trying not to test it (the softer plastic of the case is also grippier which is nice) but hopefully the S4 with the case is just as tough or tougher than the S1.
I guess one could see the push to thinner more fragile phones as an offered choice, you can have a smaller 8mm thick phone that is fragile or a bigger ~10mm thick unit that should be tougher. I'm really liking the weight and feel of the S4 with the case, while whenever I tried a case on the thicker S1 it made it feel like a clunky brick.
You need to know that the strengthen of GG isn't its shatter resistance but its scratch resistance.
This is why Corning always recommend manufacturer to put a rim around the display to avoid the screen from shatter even if it drops on the screen.
This is what Samsung did in the S1 and S2 but didn't in the S3. In the S4 there is a rim around the display but not on the corners, so when it falls on the top corners the display cracks. That's it.
Anyway, get a case and you'll see that it'll survive many drops
Of course the S1 & S2 has a smaller screen so its less prone to crack than the bigger screens (S3, S4). Thought this was common sense.

Fine, someone pointed that out.
The SGS1 & 2 had smaller screens, larger bezel to display ratio and are lighter. Of course they are sturdier.
Yeah unfortunately this just seems to be the way it is. Manufacturers are making glass stronger but then using that to make devices thinner. As mentioned the S4 is particularly weak because of the screen's sheer size and minimal bezel to protect it.

The curve screen seems to benefit it. I know there some scienctific explaination but im terrible at explaining.
The iPhone 4 & 4S front is all glass, so it breaks easier.

Its not Samsung specific, if you look they are pretty much coating the phones.
They are making the phones thinner, the screens are thinner and bigger so more brittle. I think unless they can use a new material that has a far higher strength we are going to see more and more of this or make the phone thicker?
I think that people think gorilla glass is alot stronger then it is. For sure its stronger then most glass but at the end of the day its still glass and it will crack and shatter
Dragon Trail glass ftw.

It's all about the angle of impact and how the energy from the impact spreading doing whatever damage it does on the way.
However as mentioned by some others - more glass there is more chance of a damage - as you can use your phone if the plastic/metal bits are damaged on the outside - however if the screen does get damaged, being touch screen you are more or less screwed as the 'keyboard' would also be unusable.
Hey guys, just for the record. I've already found a few microscopic scratches on my supposedly indestructible gorilla glass 3. When I see all those scratching the screen with a knife videos on YouTube I really don't understand how people get away with it without having scratched the screen. I always keep my phone in my left jeans pocket with the screen facing the leg. I also never put it screen down on anything whatsoever plus I'm very careful with the screen just because I hate screen protectors. So I really don't understand where these scratches come from. I mean they're so small that you can barely see them with your naked eye. But nevertheless they're there. My 3 year old galaxy s1 which I treated like a ***** for the best part of the last year doesn't have any scratches whatsoever. Just saying

gorilla glass has never been indestructible. and it is probably silica that is scratching your screen. that, or you've mistaken your oleophobic coating to have scratches and just need to wipe it properly.
Sorry but silica are you referring to? I was hoping it would be smears but you really can't wipe it away... unfortunately

Has anyone found and tried any screen protectors that are precision cut for the front and or back? I ordered a couple brands so far from Amazon, and I'm guessing they were earlier cuts before the phone was actually released, because the edges don't go all the way to the edges on both top and bottom. I'm hoping the protectors overtime are more precision cut and edge-to-edge.
Any recommendations?
The screen is rounded on all edges... they will bubble if they went all the way. .. you might not be able to tell with your eye... but it is.

I was thinking that same thing, until I took a look at Dbrand's skin. They have real images of their skin on the back and front of the S6 device. Precision cut, edge to edge. Yup, all the way to the edges. It's beautiful. But, this time around, I actually do like the black sapphire look, so would very much not like to cover it up with a skin.
Seeing Dbrand was able to do it with even a thicker skin, I'd like to assume that a thinner screen protector can do the same.
Take a look at the Dbrand site and the pictures they have up of the S6 with their skin on.
On the video when they pull off the front screen skin part that covers the lcd portion of the screen... there is nothing there... as in the screen is not protected... those are just edge to edge design vinyls... no thank you.

I should be more specific. I didn't link to the Dbrand site to show a skin that has no screen protection. That's quite obvious. What I'm talking about is a product that wraps over the edge, which you're saying is not possible. I'm saying, that if Dbrand can get the edge of their thick ass vinyls to curve slightly over the S6's edge, then a company that does make screen protectors should be able to get their thinner more malleable screen protectors to do so as well.
I don't care about the vinyls, I simply am referring to the product as an example of one company that is able to make it work. So I'm simply asking if anyone else has yet purchased a screen protector that covers edge to edge. Not stopping short like pre-manufactured screen protectors are thus far.

I used Zagg back when I had the Nexus 4, which had more significantly curved edges on its screen, but the Zagg formed perfectly with zero lift and zero bubbles. It was a wet install, so that may have helped. The S6's edges are not as curved as the Nexus 4 was, so I'm hopeful for some edge to edge protection. Quite possibly it was user error in your case (Best Buy)? Did you install it, or did they?

Nah i paid the $10 for bestbuy to do it cause i wanted it done ("Professionally") instead of me screwing up x20 times....and everytime he put it on I wasnt happy with it and neither was he... I actually let it sit a day and brought it back and said , forget it Im not happy with it...so I went to the source and got a $20 HD clear protector and its been great! but it doesn't go all the way to the top or bottom..but I am happy with it.
This one is perfect. Front and back have perfect cuts. There's a plastic and a glass one that you can choose from.

Hey all,
I've used one on my note 4 since day 1 and its been the best investment. Not a single scratch on my pretty and its unnoticeable. So far on amazon I see a bunch of small brands marketing theirs. Wanted to know if anyone had an experience with Sparin, ijoy etc. Maybe the consensus is to wait for Spigen, Steinheil and others to come with theirs? Please chime in.

There are really no good curved ones for the S7 Edge except one from China and that one seems to break very easily. Doubt it will be different for the note 7. I'll either go with a flat tempered glass that only protects the flat part of the screen or the IQ liquid shield. The IQ shield that I have on my S7E is okay but nowhere near as nice as a tempered glass protector.
I'm not sure if it was a Gorilla Glass 5 sample, but I swear I saw a Samsung branded tempered glass on a YouTube video (the ones made by the reviewers) from the day of the presentation.
Give a look when the camera rolls over the accessories on the tables on stage.
I'll check it out...thanks. if I can get a glass one I will have to rotate a bunch of skinomis and Chuck em at the orange peel phase.

I ordered that one since I use their tempered screen on my Samsung Tab S2 and have had no issues so far.
I have a follow up question on this... based on the S7 edge screen protector discussion it seems that even if a protector works it doesn't work with cases. Has anyone tried modifying the case like shaving off a little bit so it fits the screen protector? I have been wondering if that could be a way to make it work.

Yeap, I experienced this when I bought the S6 Edge and returned it due to no tempered glass working perfectly with the Edge to Edge display. I'm hoping things improved since the curve display has been out for a while and this has a slight curve to it.
I've always used tempered glass protectors since my S4. my dad has an S6 Edge and I bought a few different tempered glass protectors and they do not work properly at all. They usually all have an "edge" adhesive. Just a strip of glue around the edge of the device instead of the whole screen like flat screen devices.
For this phone I bought the Skinomi note 7 protector.

That's a shame. I bought the Skinomi HD Clear protector as well. Bummer that no one has risen to the occasion yet. I'd be willing to fork over $50 for a proper protector to not have to worry about what I mate my phone with in my pocket.

If they don't work I am sending them it back for my money back. I think worse case I use the one without curves. I think the note 7 curves are at more of an angle so maybe it will not be that bad with the flat glass.

So the edge is protected. IMO the edge is a stupid design. Does it look cool? Yes, but I see a lot of broken screens from a bump to the edge. We need a flat n7.

the edge is part of the viewable screen. so a case that covers that covers part of the screen. there are plenty of screen protectors that cover the edges just fine. most cases cover the rest of the phone from being damaged. i was not a huge fan of the edge when they first started using it. but it looks like that is the direction samsung has gone. probably shouldn't have gotten a note 7 if you don't like the edges

We didn't have a choice. You can't have a note now without the stupid edge screen. Like he said. Looks neat. Then it's just annoying. My wife had an S6 Edge Plus and returned it after a couple days for the flat screen version. She hated it too. Unintentional screen taps, no tempered glass screen protectors that don't suck. I'm putting up with it because I have to and love everything else about the Note 7 but this edge screen is just lipstick..... all show and no go and unnecessary.

I am also interested in a good protective case, it doesn't neccessarily have to cover the edge screen like Platinum (that case is expencive and ugly in my opinion), but I do wish the lips on edges would be well above the actual screen. I hope I wrote that clearly.
I am also shocked it is so hard to combine the screen protector and a a case.
Spigen neo hybrid is the case I'm using and it sinks into the edges just enough so it doesn't cover any of the display
I don't think that is what the author is asking about though.

I bought the one in the link above. The edges come up higher than the display, they don't really "cover" the edges much if at all, but are above the curved edges so that they help protect from drops. This is exactly what I was looking for. This is my case I use when I may be in a situation that the phone is more likely to be dropped or something similar. I don't use the edge feature anyway, but you still could if you really wanted with this case, just not as easily. I doesn't make the display size smaller by covering it up so IMO this is the best option if someone wants to protect the edges more without them actually being covered.

That is strange because on the pictures the case edge doesn't look raised at all.
I am all for using the edges but they should be protected. Most cases look like too small bras in my opinion. I was under the impression Speck could offer a case we are looking for but we won't know before someone posts a review with an actual phone it the case.

If you look close at the pictures you can see more plastic above where the buttons on the side are located. This was my clue that the case had raised edges on the side too. I have the case and can verify that the sides of the case are higher than the display, even with a tempered screen protector on. The case does as a little more bulk than I like mostly from the thicker corners they built into the case to take the shock of a fall better, but it still isn't a bulky case. Just bigger than my Ringke slim case I also have.
Tech 21 was expensive in the Att store but it raises around the edge slightly to make it slightly raised when face down...its a decent case but I'm still paranoid of glass shatter if it falls face down but I would feel that way with any case.
I recommend the otterbox commuter. The screen has totally protection and you have access to the curved edges..
Also the nice thing about it us the hard plastic backing reinforces the sidewalls so they cant flex during a drop.
Alot of cases i tried were very flimsy mid screen along the sides, this one is firm

The case I linked in a post above does not make the viewable part of the screen smaller. The edges of the case go straight up, not overlapping the curved edges, just higher than them and higher than the display, even a display with a tempered screen protector. I have been using this case for a week now and can highly recommend so far. Here is the link again if you want to look at it for yourself:

Anyone know if the display screen has curved edges or not? I haven't head this mentioned in all the reviews that I saw.
Curved screen is difficult to put screen protector, at least from my experience with Google Pixel 2 XL (my current device).
Not curved
It's 2.5D. There is a slight curve on the edge, although it's nothing like Samsung and OnePlus phones have been. It's pretty comparable with the previous Pixel screens' curves.

So, it is like Pixel 2/2 XL then. And for that, I found it difficult to get a good tempered glass screen protector because of the slight curved edge.
At the end, I bought from WhiteStoneDome which was very expensive.
Oh well .............
Yeah make sure you get a glass screen protector that doesnt go to the edge or else you will have gaps rising up. I have one on right now that none of the edges stick at all.
