Planning to get the Galaxy S6 instead of Edge due to price, anyways happy about the design and look of the Galaxy S6 I think its time to upgrade to this one instead of going for the Note 4.
I want to buy a good tempered glass screen protector my S4 suffered some micro scratches and I regret not having a screen protector on it. What do you think is the best brand with a durable screen protector for the Galaxy S6 or any other phone it’s my first time to buy one, need help.
Need a Tempered Glass and not just a film, here are my top choice
Zagg
Luvvit
iCarez
TechArmor
Found this one so far looks promising but not sure about the brand
Ultra Thin Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S6
Any other suggestions?
I like magnaworks screen protector works well I think
Nillkin Tempered Glass screen protector would be a fine solution.
+1 for Nillkin. They have been great for me so far
Zerolemon's
Is there some who got informations about some glass screen that have one for the back included ?
I don't wanna hide this beauty behind a case
Not yet..
Does the back need tempered glass protection too in order for it not to crack?

Don't hope so...
I think its the same gorilla glass in the back and in the front so yes, if you're gonna put a screen in the front, it seems logical to put one on the back too.
EDIT: Nillkin tempered glass front screen + non-glass back screen available on ebay. Just bought one
Anyone have any experience with iVoler? Unless I'm mistaken, this looks to be a tempered glass protector for the front & the back for $4 with free shipping.

I tried another times accessories of Zerolemon for my s4. I'm waiting what they're gonna do for s6, I hope they make a protector
Just purchased both a front and back tempered glass (Nilkin). I'm wondering if an aluminium bumper would affect the signal/gps at all, and if the tempered glass would get in the way... Any thoughts?
Ah hell with it. Went the aliexpress route and purchased the aluminium bumper. Hope it all works out. I'll report back whenever I get it.

Yes, I listened it could affect the signal and the speakers, but I'm not sure at all
Not bad
Is the S6 screen flat so that there won't be the problems fitting a curved screen like with the Nexus 6?

What does "25d glass" mean? I thought (or maybe hoped) the glass was flat for the S6 and curved for the S6 Edge.

2.5 degree. Is the angle of the bevel. I was hoping it was flat too. But, it's not
Anyone got any links for the Nillkin front & back tempered glass protectors from any UK sellers?
The majority i've seen on eBay are from China and estimated delivery is 14th-30th April.
I want one on my phone as soon as I have it!
Is it Gorilla glass 4 or sapphire? I can't find anywhere information about this.
It's a Gorilla Glass 4. Front and back
I know about front and back glass. I'm asking about camera glass cover.
He answered your question the first time. It's gorilla glass on both sides

Are you sure the camera lens is gorilla glass? It is not part of the main rear glass panel.
Samsung are not making a big deal about the material (like HTC are with the M9 being sapphire), so I am guessing it is neither. Probably no different than the glass used in the Note 4 which it seems was easy to scratch.
Androidauthority managed to crack the lens on their review unit.

It seems like a normal glass... Noted as well in the review by android authority that they cracked the lens camera
I read somewhere that it is in fact GG4. Source I cannot give, since I read that a long time ago. However I've never had problems with the lens glasses on my previous Galaxy phones, I have no reason to believe it will be much different with the S6.
And the fact that AA managed to crack the glass doesn't mean it is NOT GG4. It is a glass, no matter what marketing name you are going to give it, after you drop it, chances are that it will break. So having GG4 doesn't make your phone invincible ya know.....

Exactly, even if it had a Gorilla Glass 20, it is glass still.

I was wondering that too. My guess is that since two of their major competitors (Apple and HTC) have made a big deal over the sapphire their lens cover, and Samsung has been silent on that, that it is neither sapphire nor gorilla glass.

Its at least gorilla glass. No I have no proof but there's no way they wrap the phone in gg4 then put something cheap on the only vulnerable part. That would be a PR nightmare.
Glass Covering Camera Is Regular Glass

I called Samsung and was on hold for 15 minutes while they confirmed. They told me the front and back are Gorilla Glass 4, BUT the glass covering the camera is regular glass.
After experiencing scratching on my Note 4 this is a deal breaker as the GS6 looks more difficult to remove and replace. If Apple, LG, and HTC can put sapphire over the camera to mitigate scratching, so should Samsung.

Nope it's just crappy thin easy to scratch and break glass.
so i will keep the plastic on !
Yeah, this sucks. I have had my s6 for 2 weeks. Camera cover is already scratched to hell. All I've done is put it down on my desk and in my pocket. Not happy. This is going back to Verizon. Will wait for the next moto x (which must be a gorilla glass cover as it's unscathed after a year)
So I thought the gorrilla glass in these new phones are supposed to be top of the line? Or you would think since the front and back are both glass (correct me if I'm wrong).
Anyways the first time I drop my S7 I get a hair line crack about an inch long going right over my back botten.
I dropped my Note 4 (previous phone) over 100 times and the only thing that happened is i dent the metal frame a little bit.
Is it a pain to replace the screen yourself on S7 since the back is none removable?

Gorilla Glass is made to resist scratching, not dropping the phone.
Seems like you need a case...a good one
Im coming from note 3 and this glass is exceptional ... get an otterbox
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I just came from the HTC ONE m8 which also had gorilla glass screen. The glass is made to resist scratching as was previously already noted. Dropping it will still Crack the glass, go get an otterbox or urban armor gear case. I bought the otterbox defender for my M8 and the few times it got dropped or knocked off something, it never had the slightest Crack or scratch.. I bought the OBOX commuter for my S7 it's very durable I didn't need the belt clip that comes with the defender...
Also maybe quit dropping your phone just a thought

Exactly. Susceptible to scratches as well.

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.

Nothing has worked very well on the s7 edge. I gave up after dumping about 200$ into different brands.

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.

Good Luck. There is a big difference between a flat and curved tempered glass protector. Most of the flat glass protectors work well.

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.

I bought two curved glass from Amazon.
here is one https://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Pro..._SR160,160_&psc=1&refRID=Z343M09T5D72J2425XPP
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.
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Te...&sr=8-1&keywords=note7+screen+protector+glass
Just played with the note 7 at the sprint store and they had a screen protector on it that only covered the flat part. Couldn't tell if it was glass or not but it definitely affected the use of the phone.

How did it affect it?
It made it hard to swipe from the edge for the edge apps. I guess not a complete deal breaker, but I would rather just go with a full coverage wet application.

Hi there,
my Nex S Global ROM was shipped with protective plastic covers glued to the front and the back of the phone.
They feel a bit plasticky and I was thinking about taking them off. Do you think it's worth it?
How easy is it to get scratches on the back and on the screen after doing so?
Do the back and the screen also feel as plasticky as the covers?
Thanks

I removed the front protector and kept the back one. I stopped using screen protectors about 4 years ago and have never had a scratch with Gorilla Glass. I kept the back one on for no particular reason because it's always in a case anyway.
I'd keep it on until I got some tempered glass or some kind of protection.
I never got scratches on any of my previous phones, but the Nex S got some small deep scratches within a week of me taking off the plastic. I don't think they use gorilla glass. Definitively something softer as the phone has only been in my jean and coat pockets.
It definitely is not gorilla glass as mine got cracked In top left and bottom right corners when it fell down from pocket while jogging

It is Gorilla Glass but I'm not sure which version. I've had no scratches in the four months I've owned it and it stays in my front pocket like yours.

Gorilla glass protects from scratches and not drops. Impact will crack almost all glass.

It probably is but it's also the part where the phone rests 99% of the time.
I removed the front protector about 2 months ago still don't see any scratches
I've already bought the same protector for the back in aliexpress for 1dolar ou something like that, but it's exactly the same, and I wanted a 9H protector for the back, not a pelicule...
Has anyone ever tough/seen this?
