Hi all
Is there meanwhile any "curved" screen protector on the market (that cover the entire screen up to the edges)?
I've read things like "it's impossible to make because the s6 screen is slightly curved near the edges". But they can make highly curved glass screen protectors for the S6 edge so why not for the S6???
OK I've seen for example the nillkin screen protectors with coloured edges that do not stick but this is no solution. (dirt/sand/dust will get under it and scratch the screen and won't protect the corners enough against dropping on hard corners like granite stairs )
My wife's phone has been saved a lot by it's screen protector mostly on the corners never in the middle (except against scratches but what's a scratch compared to a broken glass???)
I don't why Samsung decided that making the glass a higher level than the frame instead of the frame protecting the glass? A fall and it's over!

You could get the official screen protector from Samsung works perfectly

What the heck is the difference between THIS (a regular HD Screen Protector) and THIS (a tempered glass screen protector)
Reg screen protectors are just thin pieces of film that don't do much protecting against drops, but will prevent minor scratches. Temp glass usually has a hardness of h9 and will save your screen if it takes a bad spill, I know of this first hand. Hopefully the temp glass will cracked leaving your phones screen intact. Temp glass is just better protection all around AND it will prevent your screen from becoming part of the recycling trash on friday. Temp glass has saved me twice, one with a note 4 and once with an LG g3. I would never go back to buying those thin film protectors that do nothing
I don't have first-hand experience with tempered glass protectors, but I do think standard screen protectors offer more protection than twoeleven99 indicated. I used a Skinomi front and back protector on my Nexus 4 (also a glass sandwich), and it adds a nice barrier to the glass. It also has some give, so it absorbs some of the impacts that would otherwise shatter glass.
Another thing I liked is that it adds slightly more grip than glass, preventing drops and slips. It would also be way more practical for the S6 edge, since the wet-apply ones can handle curved screens no problem.
That said, I'm going to give a tempered glass one a shot this time to see if it is more clear (eg: less rainbowing or orange peel effect).
As mentioned already, a tempered glass screen protector will do a better job protecting your phone's screen from damage. They may cost more initially, but they'll last a while. You typically have to change out plastic screen protectors more frequently after light scratches have built up.

I've been using tempered glass screen protectors for the last 2 years. They add thickness, but they're honestly amazing. One thing that I've never really confirmed, but I keep hearing rumors that when dropping a device with a tempered glass screen protector, the energy disperses onto the protector, therefore shattering the protector rather than the phone's screen itself. I never really had a massive drop before to test this out (nor do I have the funds to break my phones), but I have dropped my G2 before, and the corner of the protector cracked while the screen itself was completely fine.
I also like how glass feels compared to PET screen protectors.

I've had the tempered glass completely shatter from one end to the other on 2 devices. Peeled it off and the screen under never had a scratch on it
Has anyone been able to apply a tempered glass screen protector and use the included bumper? Tried with mine but the bumper seems to push up on the screen protector from the edges..
I have a tempered glass protector on mine with the bumper without any issues, but the glass protector had terrible halo effect. Almost all do because this has a slightly curved screen like the Nexus 6 and manufacturers didn't account for it. Probably going to be a couple weeks before they start to release ones that don't lift up in the corners..
Same with me, terrible halo effect on left and right edges. (For those who don't know what this mean, it just means that the screen doesn't fit flush to the screen due to the curvature of the phone, and appears as if a giant bubble stretches around the whole screen protector's edges as if it looks like the screen protector is surrounded by a halo)

thats exactly what i was getting, but when i removed the bumper, the screen protector was good. Now im just worried about walking around with absolutely no protection from drops. first tempered glass screen protector and im loving it, but i think the only other alternative is a regular oleophobic protector
The skinomi glass protector actually fits very well with the bumper. I was initially annoyed about it being too small (width is just the size of the actual display, so it requires some precision/multiple attempts to align it right, best done with the bumper on). However there is no haloing on the sides, just some on the ears around the speakers, mostly the bottom, and the bumper doesn't interfere with it.
I've tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors so far (supershieldz and dmax) and both of them leave a few mm glass on all sides. This couples with the ringke case leaves a gap for dust to collect.
I was wondering this this phone has a flat screen, not curved at the edges, would there be a way to get a screen protector that completely covers it right to the edge or with a very small gap(<1mm).
Does anyone know of a glass protector like that which will cover 100% of the front face?
Thanks
@intelliARMOR have said they are making one in the next month once they get their first batch of more case friendly screens out.
Hi guys!
New to the Pixel community, so yay!
From the Galaxy S5, I really miss the flat screen. I transitioned over the the GS7, and I hate how the edges of the screen are curved in. This makes glass protectors only made to stick on to the "sides" and not full adhesive.
I have read through the long long thread about tempered glass and also a short thread. However, none of them answered my question.
I was looking for a glass screen protector that is "flat" with no curved edges with full screen adhesive, not just on the edges. I realized that the ones that stick on the edges will always allow dust to get in between the screen and the protector itself.
I don't really care for full screen protectors so long as it is full adhesive. I used alcohol wipes on by screen a lot due to working in a germ health care environment.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!!
I have received this screen protector and though I would share my thoughts on this product for anyone who may be interested in this product or brand.
First off, installation is easy with little room for error as there are 2 glass screen protectors included, and 4 adhesive bottles. Once installed, the screen protector has a really nice natural glass feel. It is compatible with any Samsung protective cases (I currently have the Samsung leather case) however, any other case my or may not be compatible.
The screen protector is responsive and compatible with the fingerprint touch ID, and results with little to minor smears.
A minor setback for me personally is the screen doesn't cover the whole display (vertically). There is about an inch or so of excess room on the bottom of the display which really annoyed me when I swipe up from the bottom of the display.
Overall, this glass screen protector is a better alternative to the more expensive glass screen protectors out there and gets the job done.
