Which will be the best screen protector? Which is the best based off your past experiences?
I am in the UK and willing to order from the US but I'm not sure which is the best. I still need to sell my unused XO from my Galaxy Nexus
UK here too. I've tried Zagg, Skinomi and BSE in the past. BSE are undoubtedly the best of those 3
I'm having trouble deciding on a screen protector as well, but I've always gotten the InvisibleSHIELD. I mostly do so because I can buy the full body skin (or any of the kits they sell), then take it to the mall and they'll apply it all free of charge. If they screw up (they never do), then they'll give me a brand new one. If it gets all scratched up, gets a bubble, or ANYTHING, I just take it to the mall (without a receipt or box or anything) and they'll replace it all totally free. If I screw up applying other protectors, I don't want to have to ship it back and wait for a new one. While others do sometimes have kiosks (from what I've heard), I have yet to actually see one. I've never minded the whole orange peel thing personally, so it doesn't really affect my decision by much. I just love their warranty in combination with the kiosks. It makes it very easy.
Another thing I'm worried about is this: If I get the full body kit, can I still use a case, or will the friction of putting the case on be enough to screw it up? Has anyone had this issue? Should I just get a front and back kit instead? I plan on using case with the phone to protect from drops and what not, I usually just get a Speck Candy Shell or something, although I'm a huge fan of the LifeProof cases since they look good and offer great protection (either or not they'll make a Nexus 4 case is a different story, I suppose).
BSE all the way

How is the touch feeling of BSE ? Similar to glass or sticky like Zagg ?
They are all very similar. I usually go with Skinomi because of the price. I already pre-ordered it off Amazon.
I love XO skins. I just ordered one for the Nexus 4.

sgp steinheil is the best it feels smooth like its not there but is extremly hard my nexus s has deep scratches on the screen protector that havent even touched the glass
The best screen protector... is you! Don't slide your phone across the table, don't drop it, and don't put it in your pocket with potentially "dangerous" things (pens, keys, etc.), and all should be ok
I'm not a big fan of screen protectors; I like to have full touch control with my screen, and would rather not worry about what was the cause of my screen not registering that input (was it the screen protector, or just the phone itself?).
Well I don't know what kind of screen protectors you've been using but the ones I've used don't have any effect on the sensitivity of the touchscreen. I am careful with my stuff anyway but the small hairline scratches really annoy/bother me for some reason.

Protection is absolutely necessary for me since I work in construction/maintenance
I personally love steinheil! ( SGP )
I'm going for Ghost Armor actually.
Your question is the best for the N4. But nobody has any of these screen protectors made for the N4, and only a couple really lucky people have the phone. None of the opinions in your poll are actually based on experience with this device and this protector. Wait until people start getting them and then look at reviews.

where you order it??? Icant decide
I'm going with BSE because I've heard a lot of good things about them. Plus I like the wet apply idea. I've ALWAYS had problems with the sticky dry screen protectors. One little piece of fuzz or dust and you have annoying bubbles every where. And over time bits of fuzz/lint get up around the corners and it slowly starts to peel off.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what you do. Before you know it you'll be in direct sunlight and you'll see all sorts of small little scratches. Then later, you'll always know they're there. I'm OCD about it. I can't stand having the tiny little scratches because I want my phone to stay new. I think the first time you put a phone in your pocket, it gets some sort of tiny little scratch from something.. then over time they build up and make the screen look aweful. Plus its funny you say pens and keys because those things wont scratch gorilla glass. I've tired a key on my old Atrix and nothing comes from it. It's actually particles of dust that have maybe glass or something else hard, or sand.
I want a dry applied one and really wanna know if a dry one can cover the entire screen of Nexus 4.......
XO Skins are the ones I have been using for a few years now. From what I have read xo and sgp are the only ones without orange peel. I don't know how the sgp do on curves though I posted a review of xo in my signature when I had the samsung google nexus

Exactly, all these videos of people dropping coins/keys on the phone are pointless. swipe over that phone just once with sand paper and its all over...

Me too. I ordered some of these:
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-adqc27-screen-protector-google-nexus-4-126198.html
They were great on my G2 but it has a flat screen. I'll let people know after I get them. I will be disappointed if they don't properly stay on the screen.
What is this "Orange peel" that people are referring to?
I have been waiting with you guys ALL year and ILOOME was the only company that tried and tried to get us a screen protector. After 13 prototypes they failed and gave up I see. Now almost a year later and with SG EDGE and S6 EDGE+ as well as NOTE 5 it seemed like all hope was lost. But I just found out a Chinese Company just released a 9H GLASS screen protector!! You can get then on EBAY today! The catch is there about $25 and they ship from China which means you have to wait up to get it. I buy from China a lot and I get stuff usually in less than 2 weeks. But thats me and Im special. ...If you do a search on ebay for Note Edge Glass Screen Protectors you will find them about 10 items down. Some sellers are selling them with S6 Edge. The glass has white or black paint on the tips to blend in. And you will see some are gold for the Note 5 and S6 Edge...Good Luck and Happy Shopping!!! I ordered mine today so I cant say how good they are or tell you the quality for that matter. But for that price coming from China it should be NICE!
I ordered one, and when I got it, the glass wasn't curved. Even though the picture showed it was. Seller refunded my money. Please report back when you get it and it's confirmed that the edge is protected

Thank´s a lot
The first has been removed, the second one I ordered off eBay except mine is black. Coming from China, so it will take a while to get to me. But according one of my Facebook members, it didn't fit right on one of his customers Edge.

Both sides? You mean in and out? Because a curve on the left side would mean S6 and not the Edge.
I got the Note 4 and the Edge one is still one the way... the quality on this phone is really nice it has a white edges rounded to match my wife's white note 4 I ordered black because my Edge is black still waiting.... fingers crossed
No, look close at your left side. The screen has slight curve at the edge. Note edge full coverage glass screen protection is finally here lol

F'ing awesome!! Thanks for the pics. Which one did you end up getting?? Going to order asap!!
Here is a proper ad for them. Do yourself a favor and get it from someone that has it listed like this. I recived silver not clear and they being a total pain to deal with and if course they in china lol
I actually found it on amazon and its coming in next day shipping. This way I don't have to deal with some BS from China or Hong Kong. It may be a little more expensive but with amazon backing it, I feel it's worth it.
It looks to be the same design with the same colors that excessive81 got. I'll let everyone know when I get it in. Here is the link:

Been waiting for these im tired of having this ugly protector on my screen
Well I just got my gold tempered glad protector in from the link that I provided above and so far I am loving it. The installation was a breeze just make sure you clean the screen well! The curves are perfect, texting works like a charm and swiping the edge works without any issues. It does feel very odd like the screen protector is almost floating which I kinda think it is. I'll post picture to follow but you can see there are small dots where the protector comes in touch with the digitizer and cutouts where the back button and multi task button are as well. You have to look really close or at a certain angle to see this and unless you were looking for it you wouldn't notice. The gold colored borders act as the adhesive and as I was pulling off the back seal I could feel that the border was the sticky part not the see through screen area. The only issue I am seeing with it is the colored border is a slight hair off so the led behind the two bottom buttons don't shine through correctly unless you are at a slight angle and the top sensors, the word Samsung, and the front camera are also slightly off. This does pose a slight problem when you are using the front camera as there is a slight dark area on the top left and the bottom left corner. I don't use the front facing camera so it's not an issue for me but those of you that take selfies I know would have an issue with this. Overall I typed this entire review with it and had no problems texting at all and I give it 4.5 stars out of 5.
Edit.... Just realized that due to extra thickness of the protector my Oem flip cover doesn't close all the way. Enough that it turns off the screen and doesn't wake up but it stays slightly open. Hopefully it will correct over usage.
Oh and the S Pen works beautiful!! It glides on the glass amazing and writing with it is like there is no protector on the screen on all.
Pictures! Open the bottom one and zoom in to see the dots.
I guess after the picture is taken the dark ring is upper right and bottom right. I attached a picture to show.
Thinking about picking up the S7 but coming from a note 3 I can't imagine going down to a 5.1 inch screen. I'm hesitant to buy the edge version because I feel like the phone cannot be protected nearly as well as other phones. I take great care of my phones and they all stay in otterbox defenders but they don't make defender cases for the edge. Basically all that glass exposed on the side is scary to me. Looking for other folks opinions and thoughts.

Not concerned my friend has the edge s6 and he always breaks his screens doesn't use a protector or case and his screen is emaculate. Will put a protector on and a case so think ikk be OK
Just use a standard film protector, cheap and they apply well if you take your time.
There is a major difference with the "edge" phones and regular flat plane, and that's the touch response is muted on edge phones. You have to intentionally press, whereas on a flat screen like the s6, you can touch with feather light presses. I know somebody has experienced this too, and it's not just me.... I guess if anyone else has had this too they can let me know and hit the thanks button...
I've honestly never had any major touch responsiveness issues with the edge. And I've owned the s6 edge and edge plus. You just have to make sure you aren't tapping the bezel area.
Thanks for the responses. I'm mostly concerned about side impacts. If my current N3 took a hit too the side it's protected. I know there are threads on this but can you guys suggest S6 cases that work well to calm my nerves haha
Surely a reputable case company that has an s6 will also offer one for the s7

Hi people!
For those without screen protection, how many of you with scratches on screen of the S7 flat?
No scratches on my S7
No scratches on my S5 with not even a case for almost 2 years
its not bout scratches its bout how well you take care of your phone because it comes with gorilla glass 4 so it shgould last if you take care of it.
Gorilla Glass 4 my ass. I baby my phones and have never scratched a screen until this one. Super disappointed with GG4 or Samsung's implementation...
I also take care of my phones VERY much, and can see some scratches visible on sunlight after 3 months. I never put my phone with something that can scratch it. But then again, I saw those little scratches on every phone I had. Good thing about older phones is that it wasn't so freaking hard to find a screen protector

When U live in Serbia, ordering things is a pain in the.. Neck
I have a friend that works in a larger phone accessory shop here, and he said that none of the protectors they have are full screen or that they always have bubbles.
Have U tried any? Maybe a suggestion so I know which protectors are good for ordering online.
I have a galaxy alpha with gorilla glass 4, and also have the small scratches.
These small scratches come from sand,dirt,dust that is harder than the screen and rubs against your phone in your pocket, these small scratches are unavoidable without screenprotector.
But these are small so they don't bother me, what worries me more is the back glass which is not GG4 and scratches more easy.
Hi everyone.
I've owned a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 Exynos edition since release date. One day around month 3 I was removing the phone from my otter box case and with the littlest bit of flexing the back glass cracked horribly. I found this to be very annoying since this is supposed to be a "prime" quality phone with gorilla glass 4. I think it was more like gurly glass 4 as I bearly flexed the phone at all and am a very caring / gentle phone user and have owned many and never cracked a case/screen ever. My question is has anyone had broken glass, front or back replaced under samsungs warranty or am I crap outta luck? I called Samsung once and they said it's not covered. Since it was not outside of proper use I feel I was fed a line. Any help or suggestions? Very dissapointed in gorilla glass 4,and Samsung for placing it all over all sides of the gs7 in a very thin manner.
Makes me rethink if I'll ever purchase another Samsung again.
Discouraged and disappointed!

Hard or rigid protectors can't cover the whole screen because the edge has a bevel. I got an anti-glare matte screen protector and it works great

Well those back panels can be bought for like 13 bucks and can be easy to replace but you will lose the waterproof tho.

Thanks for the tip!
But I don't really want a rigid protector, I mean, i have been using plastic film protectors on all my phones, because I'm very gentle with them and just want to keep them from small pocket scratches. I just need a full screen one that will go over those 2.5d edges of the glass. I also don't like those matte protectors, they totally mess up the screen quality
I had 3 years SG S4 and only one little scratch. After 3 days having S7 I have already weird "graze" (is it correct word in English?) . Is not visible when screen is clean but dirt always stay in the same place. I'm VERY disappointed. Also afraid about home button made of plastic !
My first S7 edge had a super Deep scratch right on the screen curve, stay that for awhile before it turn in a crack going across the screen.

I bought a Fosmon screen protector for both mine and my wife's S7s and they fit really well. If you apply them correctly then you won't have any bubbles. I never use the guides or anything to put it on, I just go slowly and use a credit card to smooth out bumps. Cleaning your phone screen first with alcohol and a lint free wipe cuts down on anything left on the screen to cause bubbles.

That is not at all what I was asking. My question was has anybody had this issue and had it replaced under warranty? If so what did the process entail and what was said to get it done. I appreciate your comment as to boost your standings in the forums but if your info is not some of actual help you might wanna say nothing at all and let someone else answer the issue.

Since you went hostile... You might wanna to stop being a **** and start your own thread, for your own issue, instead of hijacking this thread. You broke your phone and that isn't a warranty issue, which Samsung already explained to you. He offered you info the help you quickly & easily fix your phone for very little $.
As for screen scratches on my S7, I don't have any so far. No screen protector either. I guess it's probably nerdy, but I carry my phone in a Nite-Ize holster, on my belt, and never in my pocket. So far, I've never scratched a screen on any of my phones since the OG Droid. I had a screen protector on my OG Droid, for a few months, but that's been the only one I've used.

What's your problem? Maybe you should just STFU then if you get mad bout people helping your dumb ass. You break your own phone and come in hete crying bout warranty while this treath is about scratches on the screen. So next time calm down or dont reply
Personally if your just using it day to day you wont see any scratches on your phone especially since the Galaxy S7 has gorilla glass 4. I would recommend a screen protector or even a glass screen protector if you are the type of person who chucks around their phone and doesn't really care about it.
You should be fine using it without a screen protector
Hey all,
I bought my flip the day it came out and have developed some cracking and peeling on the crease of the screen. Is this something I can easily fix with a new screen protector or is this something I need to call Samsung for and use the warranty?
Wowsers, may I ask how that happened? I'd get onto Samsung. That's what the warranty is for after all!
This is just normal use. I don't do anything crazy. I have a desk job. It just started cracking one day and keeps getting progressively worse.
Hi i had the same problem. i saw a crack in the protector horizontaly in the crease right side 2 weeks ago(i bought zflip 3 on end of august) with a gray reflect on White color of the screen.
I decided to remove the protector (you tube vidéo helps to it and furthermore in the french stores all Zflip 3 demo units had no protector on it like flip 1). I bought an hydrogel protector taylor cutted by machine.
The bad big surprise is that the Samsung original protector is not an hydrogel one but a simple sticker like S20 models !! It's a shame for a foldable and the risj to damage the screen is high.
Now i have my z flip 3 with hydrogel that i managed to put myself because the vendor was not sure..... The feeling is better, feels stronger and i love typing text on it after.
I have 2 micro bubbles left but it's far better than to have a cut in the plastic.

Is it true when you replace the original protector with something else and it is not done by Samsung, warranty will be void?
