NO! There is not. Despite feeling a terrible edge and being sure there was a plastic protector on the home screen button right out of the box, I have now managed to scratch the coating off the home screen using my finger nail.
Not even 5 minutes out of the box and now I need to replace the phone.
Quality of feel has improved in every way over the s6 I have sitting next to my s7, except for the home button. What the hell, the rough edge led me to being so sure there was something on the button.
both my sprint s7 had one over the home key, finally took it off after 5 days, lol
Hi, is there any protection on the back photo sensor ?
Thanks.

I don't know. But watch out I damaged the ND filter on the back of my Moto X as I thought there was one. Ended up picking a bit of it off!
lol nice work OP.
You must have thought it was quite a resilient protective cover.
Its a funny world we live in if thats covered by warranty.
That being said, it does feel pretty bad. Not a nice design.
My gs7 had plastic on the home button. It wouldn't read my fingerprint
I was feeling down but then noticed it and removed

I thought it was very resilient, but sometimes the tiny ones are. The first time I tried to "grab" it it did peel the corner a tiny bit which again led me to think that it was for sure a cover.
Maybe I should add this was a TMO phone. Didn't think they would come protected differently based off carrier.
And yes, not a nice design compared to the s6 I have.

It feels like I have one on mine. But it reads my fingerprint just fine. But if there's not one and I try to remove it I don't want to scratch or ruin it.

I am curious about this too. Is there a camera sensor protection? On the S6 there is a plastic protection over the heart rate/flashlight sensor.

I suggest not doing anything. What carrier do you have?
Mine read my fingerprint fine, just felt and looked like there was a protector. When I picked at it it curled the edge up a tiny bit leading me to believe even more that there was one.

So in looking for a case for my Graphite 6P I've come to the conclusion that I'd like a case that left the whole black bar open on the back. There's obviously a lot going on as far as camera, flash, lasers, NFC, and antennas in there. Also the more I see the professional pictures of the device the more I enjoy the unique design feature.
Anyone found a case that leaves the whole bump open?

The Verus case got a redesign that does not block the laser auto focus, its just not reflected in the photos but will be as soon as the updated images are posted.

This does cover the black bar partially... however, its from Google's store so I'm sure its a safe buy. On the pricey side, but I think it looks very neat.
Nexus 6P case
I also ordered the graphite. Originally ordered the 5X, then saw the graphic with the differences between the 2 phones and went back and cancelled my original purchase and got the 6P instead.
The folio case on the store thats not available yet does not cover the bar at all.
The original renders of the Moko case showed it not having anything across the entire visor, which was one reason I ordered it. I just received it today and it matches the current images on Amazon, which were updated after I ordered. I can imagine leaving that glass exposed might not have been the best idea, but the way it is now still looks ok, I guess. It looks like it will have plenty of room for the laser module, but that's still to be seen once I have my phone in hand.
Disappointing, I think it can be adequately protected and it's GG4 to boot. I'll keep looking. Some no name case company will make it eventually.

Yeah, that would be no good cutting off the front. Since one of the two first party cases leaves the visor exposed, I'm sure plenty of third party cases will follow suit. It's a very distinct design cue on the phone, and I'm sure your not the only one that wants to show it off :cyclops:

Yeah, I assume warranty should cover it, if it breaks. I've read some reviews on amazon to get a better perspective on durability of the ring. Only person had it break cause they bumped against something. This coupled with no reports on here about it being broken I guess it is normal behavior.
Any news on the loose bezel? Normal or not normal? Just got mine, sport version, with loose bezel but still working just fine.

Whatever you do, don't force it. It will rupture some gasket underneath. Happened to my friend. Now it works just fine but the bezel is very loose and lost its clickiness. Also you can hear like steel grinding on steel when you turn it. Seems that if you spray a drop o silicone based oil (airsoft guns type not petroleum based) around the inner side of the bezzel it runs smooth as butter, very smooth and clicky. Did it to mine when got some grit or something underneath and still rockin after 4 months.

Just "found out" that the fingerprints scanner will not work on any cases because your hand need to touch the metal parts on the sides of the phone in oder to make it work (if u dont want ro cut a hole on the side of the case).

Run a piece of aluminum foil inside your case, so that your finger touches it when you cover the button. This is the only "fix" I've seen for this issue.

Hi ?
I imagine this is going to be unlikely, but has anyone found a good screen protector for this phone yet?
I've tried 2 glass ones so far from Amazon and both have been identical and neither have fit properly (white air gap all around the whole screen)
Thanks

Actually it is not a screen protector either a guard, it is just a wrap which samsung has given to all of its devices from s7 where we remove the back wrap, side wrap but we leave the front wrap thinking it as a screen protector.
it makes me confused
I got a 3mk flexible glass. It's plastic but fits really perfect.
How do people find the fingerprint unlock when using a screen protector. I'm finding it's quite bad even without one, so I wouldn't want to make it worse!

I didn't notice any difference, with or without the screen protector. However I found out that the way you setup finger prints has an impact on later speed and reliability. You are to apply your finger like twentyish times, and the device doesn't care how you do it, so if you apply same part of it every time then the process of reading it will be very unreliable. Just make sure you stick those parts of your fingerprint that you are actually gonna be using, not the center part or all of it, if you know what i mean. In my case its mainly the front part, near the nail.
I've redone the fingerprints, and I think it's a bit better now, thanks - I'll see how it works out. (It wasn't happy about how I was doing it, so took a few attempts!). I do wish they'd stuck with the rear fingerprint sensors, as they seem to work far better.
Good to hear the screen protector doesn't affect it

Well I don't know what are you doing with your phone but mine is like new! Also I don't get why a lot of people complain about the pre installed screen protector, it's great and best of all it's free!
Mine is still like it isn't there. The only downside is fingerprint sensor.
I've had my phone for just over a month and the original protector is perfect. I've had the phone in and out of cases several times and there is no peeling and no marks. It feels smooth, like glass, and is clear and clean. Like I said, perfect. ?
I actually bought screen protectors with the phone, unaware that one would be fitted already, and I've had no reason to switch. FWIW I'm also using the included clear case, even though I bought a few others. Goog job, Samsung.
I had a small tear, and I wanted to see if its glass or cover, - so felt the cover kinda coming off and had to peel it eventually. But it was kinda loose too

because customers were complaining about the screen saver scratching and some even sending their phones back over it. Also samsung would send customers for free replacement screen savers. Wasn't worth the hassle in this market for them anymore.

It is great actually. The wings that wrap around go just a tiny bit towards the back glass and do not affect the look of the black glass. The wings also help secure the protector from lifting off the edges
I also put a skin on the back to get rid of the fingerprints you get on the black N20U .

I was looking for a topic like this haha. My one actually developed a few bubbles and I had to peel it off a couple of days ago. I received my unit in early September.
I am now struggling to find a good protector that works well with a case. Tried Ringkie but the protector was a way smaller than my phone!! Looks like it was a faulty batch. Tried another one - Apiker, and it peeled off when I putted my phone to my Spigen case despite Apiker advertising it won't.
I am now stranded in the middle of nowhere. Don't know what to buy to have a bubble-free screen and compatible with my Spigen case. Ordered the Spigen screen protector but it has mixed reviews...
I now regret I removed the original one.

Just get the one of the ones mentioned earlier to tied you over . They're a dry applied 3 or 4 stage peel type. I think most are made by the same factory. Leaves about 2mm on edges almost like the factory applied gap.

I couldn't find a single dry protector that would be bubble free and compatible with a case. No matter how hard I try to follow the instructions the protector either has bubbles/spots or peels off when phone is in a case. It just doesn't stick firmly. I will try my luck with Spigen wet protector. It should be compatible with Spigen cases as advertised. Already spent around 40 pounds on different protectors with no luck. I wish Samsung could offer the service for a fee. Their factory screen protector was attached perfectly.
I still have pre-installed screen protector on mine too and it's sitting well and is like new still.
