Hi guys,
Just got an S6 recently and really don't want to put a case on it, so I thought I'd use screen protectors instead. However, I've yet to come across any that cover the entirety of the front or back glass. Has anyone found any like this that they can recommend? I understand that the glass curves slightly at the edges, which makes it difficult, but I've seen iPhone 6 protectors that specifically say that they curve at the edges, and hoped that someone had done something similar for the S6.
Thanks folks!
I don't use anything but Moshi edge-to-edge tempered glass protectors for my iPhone 6, Note Edge, and now S6. They're a little costly but they're good stuff. In the US, they can be purchased at AT&T corporate stores. As far as the back, I use an inexpensive Skinomi back protector. It gives the slippery phone a lot of grip.

I use Nillikin protectors. They go edge to edge and they are very cheap if you are in the US. I'm currently on my third one because I thought the first one was incorrectly placed and my second I thought it was causing my Incipio OffGrid to not stay closed when I just had a defective case.
I will provide a link later on or you can search on Amazon.
Hello guys! How are you?
I didn´t find some topic with this...I searched for good screen protector but it´s hard to find and to work it with some case...
I already bought the AmazingThing screen protector to try it (on the topic off screen protectors it seens to be the better one until now), but didn´t instal it yet because i bought also a case and I want to try this before because I think that they won´t work together...
Well...this topic is to users who are using it without any screen protector!
- How is your screen?
- It´s demaged or it´s ok?
- There are to many scratches?
- Just a few scratches that with screen turn on you can´t see it?
The first month with the S7E I used it withou screen protector and the screen was ok, no scratches until that time...after that I´m trying some screen protectors...but I´m tired of just try ****...
Thinking to use without but scared to fu**up the phone haha
Leave your experience!
Get a screen protector. I have one severe scratch and about 15 other minor scratches

How much time you´re using without? Could take some picture after?
No screen protector, no case and no scratches I keep my keys in my pocket sometimes too. So not sure why it doesn't scratch.
No screen protector. Not scratches, nothing.
Micro scratches all over

u don't have to worry as long u don't throw ur phone in a pocket or bag with keys/coins/stuff!!! Never used a screen on my S6 edge / Note 5 and S7 edge and never had a issue until the other day i threw my S7 edge in my messenger which had a bunch of stuff in it now it has a tiny scratch... all my fault.
Just be careful with your phone man! Try and get a case with a good bump just in case.
Excellent case

I have been using the above case since April. I use my phone a lot at home and work. I have no marks whatsoever . Screen protectors are very hit and miss for the edge s7. I probably wasted about £30 on different variants and to be honest none of them were any good. Make sure the case is a genuine Spigen as there are lots of other sellers palming off fakes.
Hope this helps :good:
Using my S7 Edge without a screen protector for more than 2 months now with just a UAG case. Not a single scratch.

Surprisingly no micro scratches or anything on it besides the big cracks going along the screen, that I have since I dropped the phone. Might aswell go on with the insurance claim.
No screen protector and a tiny scratch visible when the screen is bright. Bought during june.
thank you all guys! I got one "glass" screen protector (seens to be the best option with others users reviews), but I haven´t installed it yet...maybe I´ll try it before using without because I already bought it, but I´m tired to search it...if it doesn´t work well I´ll use it without and be happy
I see that maybe will have some tiny scratches...that tiny scratches you can see with the display on or just when it is turned off?
If you could put some photos I´ll thank you a lot!!
I usually put on tempered glass protectors on all of my phones but I couldn't find a proper one for my S7E. I've using mine with no protecotor for more than a month now, but not a single scratch so far. I don't like the film ones, they tend to get dirty overtime and I hate the rainbow effect on the flim.
I'd recommend you go naked with S7E because the screen seems strong enough to resist scraches from dusts. Well I do use my phone carefully, as in I barely drop it and don't put it in my pocket with keys or anything. So If you are like me, you probably wouldn't need one
I'm not using any protector, but occasionally I use the 0.3mm thin silicon case that covers just the back. No scratches.
No screen protector
I have a case without a screen protector on my S7 Edge.
So far so good. I've had the phone since May and it doesn't look like I have any scratches yet.
I make sure that when I put the phone in my pocket that I don't have anything else in that pocket, especially not anything metal or other hard substances like sand.
I tried a few screen protectors and I couldn't find any that would fit well enough so I just gave up.
was using it without any screen protector but got few minor scratches in jus 10 days with keychain in pocket .so now m using a screen protector
Tech21 is awesome and very slim. I posted a thread about a screen protector from 5below (store here in NC) that's 5 dollars. Best one I've found yet. I've tried skinomi and zagg. I will say my case needed some modifications with my dremmel so it wouldn't keep making the edges come up.
I don't use screen protector since many years, but always a wallet case. Never had a scratch on my different phones....
I have some micro scratches! About 2 months in use!
But I never use screen protectors and definitely not gonna do it now on a curved screen where most, if not all, screen protectors have issues to master it and fully cover it while being compatible with cases!
I've always used a tempered glass on phones... no matter how much I take care the glass always seems to get micro-scratches which drive me up the wall....
I take really good care of my phones, I don't even use a case on most phones and have never dropped or broken a phone.
My question goes out to the guys who have S7e, N7, anything with a curvature really.. how do you protect the screen? Do you need to?
Do you find that the screen itself is scratch resistant enough? More so than tempered glass protectors?
I know there are form fit protectors now, but I read a LOT of bad reviews about them. I'm worried about buying the S8+ because of the super curvy edges.
Usually screen protectors don't work very well with curved screen, as you might know.
JerryRigEverything made a video about it being super easy to scratch, but he made an error and used wrong type (afaik) and in fact Gorilla Glass 5 was pretty much durable from easy scratches like keys etc.
Am waiting for this to be back in stock. Betting on Otter this time.

Carphonewarehouse in UK sold me a curved plastic film S7E screen protector for £9.99 last year. Perfect fit and have had no problem at all with screen.
I will be looking for the same when i get me S8+ next weekend

Thats too expensive in my opinion. I just preordered this:

I own the S7 Edge and have tried a variety of screen protectors. Glass Ones are difficult to fit, but I have found several that have been adequete. Not perfect but ok. There have also been a few very good plastic screen protectors that worked exceptionally well - Spigen had a CURVED glass screen protector that was excellent and Body Glove also had one that was very good.
I have seen a few on Amazon that look like they are going to be ok - and none of them, even the glass ones are too expensive. You may have to do some trial and error to find the one you like the best, but I am confident you will find something that works. I know I will.
Skinomi wate install protector normally works. The only problem i have is after a few months the edges will get dirty.
They sell some really stickey flim protectors. But those sratch very easy.
I always put a protector on my phones because things can always happen no matter how careful you are.
When I got my S7 edge last year I tried a few curved screen protectors and was disappointed with them, eventually they all peeled off. (Reluctantly) I have not used a screen protector since and can honestly say my screen looks as good as day one. When I get my S8+ (Very soon I hope ) I wont be using a screen protector unless something outstanding comes to the market.
I got a tempered glass kit that should be here soon, with a case. I also picked up the Strada series Otterbox, I will likely use the Strada case, as it will fully protect the phone, and still look nice, this way I dont have to worry about micro scratches.
I have owned an edge mobile since the day they where released, I NEVER found a satisfactory solution to protecting the screen with any sort of screen saver and I tried dozens. S6 edge, S6 edge+ Note 7 and S7 edge. Its been hell. I have found some that have been 'okay' until one uses a case then they start to peel off. Some have glue only around the edges and eventually allow micro dust in between the saver and screen. The plastic membrane sort have been an equal nightmare.
If you read the numerous posts on this subject in the various Edge forum here you will soon learn that going without can and will save you a headache. I use a flip case. I used the Samsung LED flip case on both my Note 7's and have pre ordered the same case for the S8+
Those edges are pigs to protect with a saver. The Note 7 Used Samsung own skin and they where still a disaster.
Now the good news. To date and all these years latter never even got a micro scratch on the screen. Having said that if one drops ones mobile.......
I use a flip case and that appears to be the only solution I have found to this situation. BTW even those glass screen savers that only cover the flat part of the screen are not so good as they make such an ugly mess of a beautiful screen, some of them do work though.
I understand the edges on the S8's are the most acute to date so though I can't foresee the future I am still not confident a full screen saver will be found. Lets hope it doesn't prove a problem. I, for one, wont even try and cover the screen, way to much hassle.

I have both the note 7 and s7 edge and have had zero luck with glass protection.
There are several plastic protectors i used which worked fine but i hate the feel so peeled them off.
Running both naked now and no issues.

I bought a 2-pack of the shark proof wipe on liquid. I'll try this this time over a screen protector:

Last time with the gs7 edge, I got my screen protector from Best buy. They use some kind of machine that has exact dimension of the phone and they install it. This was the perfect screen protector , that i ever got. Note it's plastic so, it will feel not so good. This time i'm planning the same thing if best buy offers it.

I've been using Skinomi for a good while and my edges are pretty clean still (but this is on a flat screened phone). I'm hoping that it stays like that for the S8+ on the curved screen.
The other issue besides fit is how the screen looks with them on. I have never been able to find a plastic protector that doesn't mess with the quality of the screen. It's such a beautiful screen I hate to put something on that messes that up.

Please let us know how that works out; or if it's just expensive snake oil?
The note 7`s gg5 was excellent and as I was returning both I went naked, and they looked perfect after a couple of months of abuse! I do have gg3 on another phone but sadly it hasn't held up so well.
Put it this way on previous phones I've probably spent around £100 or more trying to find a perfect protector.....its cheaper to buy insurance and claim on it than suffer with crappy screen protectors.

After more than a month what can you say about the glass? I've read, that after some time edges start to detach opening way to dust and so on. Did you experience anything similar?
My Mate 9 is about 6 months old with nothing on. The screen is like new. The only dents are on the edge, left by a low-quality tripod holder.
sorry for not update.
the screen protector disconnected very fast...!!
I haven't found 1 decent protector. Cheap Ali express, expensive Nilkin, they all suck, detach from the edge in weeks and come loose. Nilkin is the most reasonable but I'm gonna stop replacing them every 2 months when this one is gone. If then the glass breaks I have the best reason to get a mate 10
Try Mr Shield For Huawei Mate 9 on Amazon, cheap, easy to install
This one actually hasn't been too bad for me. Reviews were still iffy but seemed to be the "best" (relative to others) and the first one I tried. Goes almost all the way to the edge, haven't had any peeling/ separation at the edges. The fact that it doesn't go all the way to the edge is good for the spigen case that I have. Much more and the case would be pressing against the screen protector, causing it to separate.
I like that it is a 2-pack...I actually cracked mine diagonally after a drop and it's nice to have a backup without having to go and buy another one. And for only $8 is a pretty good deal.

I second that this is the best glass screen protector for the price. All the other screen protector I purchased doesn't cover the full screen and leaves a rainbow effect on the sides. Very easy to install and if you get a few dust you can lift up and use the kit that comes with it.
Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has tried the rhinoshield cases + screen / back protectors for the Note 9.
I have seen plenty of reviews praising both the solidsuit and crash guard, but not much about the frontal screen protector (the one they claim to be full adhesive). Any impressions on this one?

I have ordered a back protector. will give u more info once I get it
I also want to know about the lenses that can be attached to the solidsuit if anyone knows
I am using the Solid suit currently and its been almost 2 weeks and so far so good.
I had the Spigen tough armour earlier which was little bulky so thought of using this one
My colleague has been using the solid suit for his galaxy s9+ and he has dropped it preety much everywhere and he is preety happy with the performance
I have ordered the Rhinoshield Wide+Macro lens + adapter so still waiting for the delivery
Once they arrive will share the experience
For the tempered glass with adhesive i have been using the Spigen one and i am preety much satisfied with it. Moreover it costs little less than the rhinoshield
I totally disliked the front screen protector. It doesn't have black edges but dot matrix ans the common horrible rainbow effects in the middle of the screen.
I would love to try some screen protectors, but my only concern is that I won't able to wash my phone. Ever since I had galaxy S8 plus, I have been washing the phone regularly (3 times a week) with lukewarm water and once twice a month with hand soap. Owned Note 8 and S9 plus, continued the same tradition and the phones were in better condition when I sold them used.
Using a nice glass shield might make me happy, but I am not sure having additional layer of glass would make me any happier. As we know smartphone manufacturers try every year to reduce the thickness of glass as much possible because it makes the phone more beautiful.
I used liquid nano crystal on S8 plus and that was the stupidest mistake. Even though the protection worked, that killed Samsung's dust resistance coating making it a fingerprint magnet. Just few minutes after a clean wash phone would look very oily, dusty and old. In the end phone fell out of my pocket and accidentally closed the car door, smashing the phone. Phone was bent in the center, Samsung said they won't repair due to possible motherboard damage. Lesson learnt - If the phone is destined to shatter, you won't be able to protect it
