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.

Interesting! I thought I read it only just covered the screen? Does it overlap slightly? Maybe it was earlier version!

No screen protector I know of covers more than the screen. Are you using a case? If yes, which one?

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.

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.

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

Ordered a couple of super cheap 0.26mm ones that I found online.

Arrived yesterday and look ok - will see how they go on and if there are any halo issues.

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.
Hello everyone, I ordered tempered glass on Aliexpress and it doesn't cover all display.
Can you recommend me any tempered glass, which I could buy on Aliexpress or in other shop?

I have ordered one that covers the whole screen, but this glass doesn't stick to the surface at the edges, must be curved there a bit.
There is no problem when it doesn't cover all screen, but my even didn't cover display XD

Hi, I just bought a new smartphone, meizu 16th which has a 2.5d (slightly curved) screen.
Apparently, the screen hasn't got any kind of protective layer in it like gorilla glass, and since it's not a popular phone, it's impossible to find tempered glass screen protector from a good company with user's opinions online. Cheap screen protector's on aliexpress has mostly bad reviews: bubbles, not sticking, doesn't cover the whole screen.
I feel like my choice is a cheap aliexpress screen protector with an unknown quality that doesn't cover the whole screen + an envelope case, but since the phone has no gorilla glass, I'm afraid it won't be enough to protect the screen from breaking.
is there some other best protective solution?
I brought a spigen hybrid clear case today and am looking for a tempered glass without the black border around it as the border cuts off a little of the screen. Please recommend one, for delivery in India

I tired multiple ones either their too big and causes halo effect or too small , so i opted for ones with black border and i am happy with it and so i would suggest goto a local shop check it out so you can see size .
I bought multiple screen protectors but gadgetshieldz offered amazing screen protector. Yes it is not tempered glass but its quality is really good and the phone feels slimmer since its not a tempered glass. If you dont have butter fingers and your phone doesnt fall often then go for it.
I tried all the variants and brands on the market. Finally settled on using a hydrogel screen protector. It is not available on any online stores but local shops definitely have them. Though it may not provide the drop protection that glass protectors provide, it is resistant to scratches and you will not even know it's there. It covers the front from edge to edge. Again, it is not very high on shatter level protection but it is great for light users like me.

I don't think a thin plastic protector should be worth 500 bucks

Try looking for TG's for Lenovo Z5 Pro/Z5 Pro GT.
It have the same dimensions as our device.
I purchased one from glazedinc. It costs about 495, I know it'a a bit steep, but for what it's worth it covers the entire display and has real 2.5d on the edges. It really feels like using the phone without a tampered glass. From what I heard as it covers the entire screen it also provides better drop protection.
I got one from a local shop for Rs.80 ($1.10). No black borders, covers the screen display portion exactly.
