I know certain cases like Lifeproof and Otterbox have pack in protectors that are cut specifically for the screen so the cases don't mess them up, and I'm looking for something like that that is sold by itself. I have a dbrand skin, and they don't have any from what I can tell, which is lame.
I did a lot of searching and couldn't find one when I got my S6. I ended up going with this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4PRP8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
It's not exactly what I wanted, but it offers good protection on all sides and works with skins without any problem.

I bought a chinese glass tempered glass screen protector that does just that. However i can't imagine how you can find the same one, just try Chinese stuff shops.
I use Nilkin cp+ and it is the best thing I have used next to naked screen.
Try Buff screen Protectors, they do what you want, from edge to edge, and it is not glass, it is thicker than normal screen protector

Looking to purchase one in the UK. Tired of using a bulky case to protect my S4, it defeats the purpose of a slim and slender phone.
I have never used a screen protector before, didn't see the need to as these screens never get scratches on it. However I've just heard about tempered protectors which stop the glass from breaking. I aim to get rid of my case and just use a screen protector.
Which is the best protector, in terms of protection but also sensitivity, which is my biggest gripe with using screen protectors?

Hey mate,
I hate bulky cases as well. This one is the absolute thinnest and lightest I've found, with a decent grip. Some of the (ok I admit - dumber) people who haven't seen the Samsung phones actually don't realise I have a case on it when I show them.
For me, the grip is the most important thing about any kinda case because otherwise the phone is a bit too slippery. The black non-slip one is the one I have personally, I'm not certain how well the the other ones are with the grip. Anyway, I know that's not the advice you wanted but since a lot of people only post the big bulky case options, I thought I'd tell you about that one. It's only £8.

Folks
Recently I bought the UAG Maverick Case for my Note 4, and it's stunning beauty made like to resist any space impact with a style.
The screen protector film came with it is indeed offers decent protection, but it's terribly one fingerprint/smudge magnet. My hands do sweat at times and indeed gets oily often. So y'all can imagine how awkward using a beast.
Also the touch feel has been horribly ruined with the protection film, The feel of Spigen premium series is entirely different from this.
Many of the Note 4 users has said, Tempered Glass offers tough protection without taking down much the actual glass feel of the touch screen. So pals, Please do suggest me the best tempered glass solutions which covers a bit out of the display area (black screen) with the UAG Case on.
No Halo effects, Fingerprints and smudge shouldn't be attracted and must be wiped like in actual screen.
Thanks

I have a UAG case with a Moshi iVisor edge-to-edge protector on. Application was easy and there is no halo. It fits fine with the UAG case. However, please note that I have not tried taking the case off, and I have only been using this setup for just over a week. Others have reported that the iVisor can get dust under it through time, as it only has adhesive round the edges and not under the glass. As yet, I have not experienced this. An alternative might be the Momax or the Tough Armour as I believe these do have adhesive under the glass as well as the edges. I purchased a Momax too, but have not tried it as the iVisor is perfect at the moment. (Note that the first Momax had the capacitive buttons wrong (menu instead of recent apps), but on the one I got that has been corrected). Have a good read through the many threads on Tempered Glass protectors, as others have experimented with different brands and also use UAG cases.
I bought an arcadia full screen protector. It did not work well with UAG. Popped the glass up. I loved the look of the glass that I got rid of my 2 uag cases.

Thanks Kinsman-UK giving your view on Moshi iVisor! :good: Just can't think of getting dust/debris getting through the edges as it may result more damage than actually keeping the screen bare. I've checked the Momax website and found Glass Pro XS Screen Protector but turned down no luck to order one
I ordered my Momax from shop.brando.com - they seem to still have black and white versions available, post internationally.
Is that all?
I've gone nuts selecting over tons of brands, seriously picking up the right phone was never been this hard.
My prime needs are,
1. Compatibility with UAG Case over the phone. It must not pop of even on the small impact with the case.
2. It must sit some area more than actual screen (black area).
3. Good bonding with screen and don't let any dust/debris let through the groves or edges of the protector.
Somewhere landed between some premium and well known brands, viz
iloome, Moshi, MOMAX, intelliARMOR
I don't know about other people's experience but I have dropped my Note 4 three times in the past week (I know! Unbelievable, never dropped my old phone once, and then I get a new one and...) - anyway, the Moshi was not affected by the drops and is still firmly attached. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, and haven't had the UAG off an on yet, but it seems fine. I think the Momax will probably be even better as it has adhesive all over, but I haven't tried it on yet because the Moshi is fine for the moment. The only thing I would say is that when applying the Moshi I left the phone out of the case for two days, and applied pressure all around the edges to make sure it was well adhered before putting the UAG on. This is just my experience, so just FWIW and YMMV etc etc
EDIT: Note that the Moshi does have a 'dot matrix' pattern in the glass (something to do with the way it is strengthened I think), but it is only noticeable if you look closely in direct sunlight. I only mention it because some people may see this as a problem - doesn't bother me (in fact I struggle to see it at all in normal use).
I use the Spigen slim Armor Case with the "Ultimate xplosion proof" crystal clear screen protector and have not lost any noticeable sensitivity at all. Not trying to convince you... just what I use and 100% happy with it

Hello,
I am wondering if there are any screen protector out there, that cover only the screen? Like the one you get with the slickwraps if you buy skins for, lets say the G4? https://slickwraps.com/leather-series-wraps-skins-for-lg-g4.html
I mean the screen protector that goes OK with the front skin applied?
Thanks!
If you know for any good ones that cover ALMOST the whole screen, I am up for that too!
I know that Nillkin CP covers the whole, but I don't like it.. So any other that is similar to that,..?
I purchased a full screen protector a few months ago, worked flawlessly. I ended up cracking it and replaced it with one from the same ebay seller, now my case causes it to flex and pull away from the screen. I bought a spare just in case, that one too, has the same issue. I ended up buying one that wasnt a full screen protector to leave room for the case lip.
Following the other thread on screen protectors, i grabbed this guy:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VT8CP6Y
No halo effect, allows nicely for a case (i use a Spiegn Tough armor for reference). It does extend above and below the screen, but should be pretty close to what you are wanting, while not looking like grabage at the same time..
Was also looking for something similiar so I just read around. Just ordered this myself:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4N0EI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
So once I get it in ~2 days I can report back.
Thanks for all the replays guys! @Divine_Madcat @FiniteDGk @custommx3
I have order the Spigen Neo Hybrid Ex bumper, as my Dbrand skin for the back came today, and I love the look of it. (I saw a video on YouTube a while ago for this combination, and I've fallen in love with it... So now I am waiting for that to come..
What I want is basically a screen protector that does not look to funny when it's on..
I've had Orzly on my OnePlus One, but it cracked from nowhere.. I swear I watch all of my phones, as I am very allergic to scratches, lol. It started to collect to much of dust and I was using it together with the Diztronic TPU case (I thought that was match made in Heaven at that time)..
S6 Is by far the best phone I've tested so far, the only thing that drives me crazy is to protect the screen..
I want a screen protector that play's nice with the bumper as its Spgien same as yours I assume it will play out nice. @Divine_Madcat
Anyway I've ordered Nillkin tempered glass (Not the CP one) from Aliexpress, I hope it is Original (It should be).. And I really hope it will play nice with the bumper, and look decent.

Nice! That is actually the case I ordered as well, what a small world!
Ordered Mocolo Glass for S6 ?
I get all mine from Xtremeguards and love them. I have had them on every phone I have had in the past few years. You can always find a 99% off code or 98% off code as well.
Try imos glass protectors. They are a Taiwanese company that use corning gorilla glass and AGC glass , and have no halo issues . They even have 3d curved glasses for s6 edge that covers the 3ntire screen including edge. Crazy ! Check out my S6 with IMOS AGC glass with no halos :

This looks cool, thanks for sharing :good:
Are there any curved/wet install screen protectors that will fit round the curved edges of the S6 or is a glass one the way forward?
I am clumsy and outdoors lots so would want some proection and it seems a lot of the plastic protectors only just about cover the screen.
I was very satisfied with the Spigen non-glass screen protector. It covered almost all of the screen, which surprised me. I only took it off because I prefer glass protectors.
Spigen screen protectors leave gaps around the border. Not as much as glass sp. This is to accommodate "case friendly" design.

Not got the phone yet - was pre ordering bits! I don't mean the whole front of the phone. On the spigen website it shows the protector being slightly wider than the display, but review I read elsewhere seem to have it cut quite narrow and it barely covers the active part of the screen.
This is the Spigen plastic screen protector I ordered below. I always use a case and it covers most of the screen. There's a tiny gap, but I wasn't bothered by it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4N0EI
A case option is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid FX case. Its the $17.99 option in the link below. It covers the entire phone (front, back, edges). Then you don't need a screen protector.

Reviews and photos of it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RT1Z3ENHAIQ8Z and http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/RDXA8F1JMNCI4
Below is a review of the case for an iPhone 6. It's in Japanese, but you get the idea. There's no S6 video review available.
Despite my comments in this thread, I'm not a Spigen fanboy LOL. I no longer use the Spigen screen protector (I have a no-name glass now) and I'm swapping my Spigen case for a Ringke Fusion.

Have the Fusion on my Nexus - pretty good but teh back is coming away from the sides now. Like the look of the Rinke slim though.
Got some Spigen ones, they are pretty close to the size of the screen. Have to be so careful to line it up properly! Shame they didnt make it that fraction bigger, but I guess that was not possible due to the screen curve.
Ordered spiegen ones too, from amazon, 2 protectors wtih shipping costed 16.70€ but i have always dreamed of getting rid of that thick and heavy tempered protector.... they really do add weight and thickness to phone, especially if you decide to put front and back tempered protectors

I was tryiing to find a 0.2mm glass one as the thread on here has that as the best one - but they donn't ship to UK
They're hard to find, I've seen a few on ebay.com but there are some glass protectors that will cover almost all of the phone. They're the ones that go over the buttons with a pass-through for the fingerprint sensor/home button. They have an entirely identical full front look. Like this one, but not edge of course, they make them for flat S6s too but the flat ones being the ones that are hard to find: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...hash=item4d3e1f582c:m:mF-rpmie8VK2iab6MR9K5EQ

I have a SUPER thin tempered glass screen protector for the front and back of my s6. On the back it is quite large so it has the halo but on the front it is cut so it just about covers the actual display bit, so there is no halo on the front. It covers the samsung logo at the top and the capacitive buttons at the bottom like any other screen protector. Both costs me £2.49 on eBay UK. After using a much thicker tempered glass screen protector on my s3 I would say that the thicker ones feel as if they would offer better drop protection.
I'm personally not going to even bother looking for a good tempered glass screen protector, because I want full case compatibility, and I want full screen coverage without black edges - probably not possible with 2.5D edges.
I am, however, a fan of plastic PET screen protectors as they are easily replaceable, should be cheap, and fit any case.
Currently, I'm using the one that was pre-installed on the OP6, but I noticed the edges are peeling already, so I'm looking for alternatives now.
Spigen used to have a "Crystal Clear" PET screen protector which worked awesomely on my past devices, but they do not seem to manufacture it anymore.
Perusing Amazon, the only one I see that's a PET protector is this one:
"[8-Pack] OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, J&D [Not Full Coverage] Premium HD Clear Film Shield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6"
Unsure of its quality though, and people I know have stated that the sizing/cutouts of J&D are not very good.
I'm not a fan of the 3M-type "self-healing" soft screen protectors due to the texture/stickiness.
Does anybody know of any alternative PET (plastic) screen protectors for the OP6?
I'm a huge fan of armorsuit screen protectors. They are the self healing sticky type. It takes a couple days, but eventually they lose the sticky feeling, and work great after that. Another plus is they seem to repel fingerprints way better than the pet screen protectors.
Still using the preinstalled protector for now, but will probably change to the armorsuit soon.
I agree with you. I hate the tempered glass (plastic) screen protectors and am looking for inexpensive PET ones like the one that came in the phone.
On eBay there is a seller selling the ExtremeGuard ones but the cut is all screwed up and they don't fit. I've always had good luck with SuperShieldz as they are high quality and pretty cheap and I'm hoping they start making them for the OP6 soon.
After using trying a few different TGSPs, I went this route. Armorsuit was nice, but I've found that the skinomi one is much smoother and has less drag.
Search for iLLumiShield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 on Amazon. They have both crystal clear and matte finish. They use Japanese PET film. Have not tried on OP6 but my previous experience has been very good.
Same, i always used these soft nano protectors on my old phone but i got my oneplus 6 with a glass screen protector that i got for free due to the code someone gave me so if the glass really sucks i will go back to the soft protectors. I always buy them from aliexpress and most of the time they are like 1 or 2 bucks so i always get a couple so that i future proof my self

Thanks for the recommendation. This is something along the lines of what I'm looking for - I think I'll buy a pack to test the crystal clear.
