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.

Reviews and photos of it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RT1Z3ENHAIQ8Z and http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/RDXA8F1JMNCI4
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.
Which one do you recommend for the S10e? Right now I'm still using the default protector which was applied by Samsung, but I don't really like it.
i ordered one on ebay but i have a feeling it's flat not edge to edge full cover for 10e. They use generic photoshopped stock photo for all 3 models and claim it's curved. I think 10e has 2.5D edge. Not completely flat. I'm also using the garbage thin film they included. For $800 scumsung could include high quality glass and case. I also ordered glass for rear cameras. Never seen or used one before. Not sure what to expect.
tried ESR tempered glass and MP mall tempered glass from amazon
both do not stick on side, ESR is off by like 0.75 mm because of 2.5D curve of glass, it does not stick on side. so dont waste your money on these two, i am still looking for one may be just a bit smaller than ESR.
temporarily ordering a film protector till i find a tempered glass which fits right.
I'm using the PureGear HD Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7S174H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_byaHCbZY5Q1N0
It only has adhesive on the edges so there is no bubbles. It is case friendly and is a decent alternative to the whitedome which remains the superior choice for the 2.5D screens.

how is touch sensitivity and does is create rainbow effect like some tempered glass with adhesive on side do?
Keep in mind aftermarket screen protecters (especially glass ones) will have problems with the fingerprint reader.
Im using the samsung one for now until some testing and revising is done
No rainbow effect and if you increase touch sensitivity in the settings it works great. I have no real complaints.
which non-glass protector do you guys recommend?

Why is there a lip or Ridge around perimeter of screen of galaxy s10e
Does anybody know why there is a lip or Ridge around the edges of Galaxy S10e screen it's almost looks like a screen protector has been applied from the factory

Yes, that's exactly what you are seeing. The S10e does indeed have a factory installed plastic screen protector. You can really feel it around the camera as there's a cutout for the camera. I would expect it to scratch rather quickly, plus I don't think it provides nearly as much drop protection as a tempered glass one might.
I'm following along here hoping that there does wind up being an economical tempered glass screen protector that works well and doesn't life at the edges. Seems like this will be similar to my S7, where I was never really able to find something that works and just went naked.
Thank you for the response I've just been so confused with everyone saying the S10 and S10+ have one but not the S10e. I think you're right it is just a polyurethane plastic protector. And just a heads up I tried to apply a tempered glass protector over top of it and it definitely made it hard for the edges to stick.

I had the same confusion. All of the media I've seen say the pre-installed one is only on the S10 and S10+, but if you look around the camera on the S10e, there's clearly a cutout that confirms there is a pre-installed screen protector on there. I'm still not exactly sure how to get it off. I picked around the edges a bit and nothing is coming up easily.
I'm not sure how well the edges of a tempered glass one will stick even if you took off the pre-installed one. I haven't seen any reports of an economical one that works yet. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as I am with my S7 and be forced to go without one.

If anyone looking for decent glass. This brand is good to go, but expensive. Might wait out a little.

my factory installed screen protector is starting to show some scratches and wear. Getting near desperate trying to find a good affordable screen protector for the s10e
I ordered an Alinsea glass protector from amazon, sounds like a knock off of a Whitestone from their description. It doesn't have a cut out for the front facing camera, which is great, as a cut out just seems to collect pocket lint. I have not received it yet.

I got one. First time doing an install of this type and given the barebones installation tools provided, it was above average difficultly. First one ended up with bubbles.
Has anyone gotten a screen protector yet? As of today there are several choices. Just seeing if anyone has one and how much you like it.
amazon says Im getting mine today. tempered glass
I got the one below - Day 6, so far it seems good

The Spiglen are too small, CAVN ones are also too small (Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm). They both leave 1-2 mm the whole way around the screen protector. (UK based)

Ref my post above, my watch is the 46mm Classic and the Kimilar screen protector leaves a gap also.

I believe there was a slight gap on my last Spigen one (on GW1). It was very slight and I did not have an issue with it. Doesn't there have to be a slight gap so it can be removed?
I'm looking for one from Amazon US that fits the 46mm Classic with minimal or non-existent border gap. The Amazon availability date for the majority protectors listed, pre-date the Watch 4 release date and some of the reviews mention a 1mm border gap.
I went with the Supershieldz screen protector. No guide and kind of a pain to get it on centered. It took 2 for me. It also has a small bubble literally at the edge of it that won't go away. NOT impressed...

Going to try something else I guess.
I am a klutz so I figured that I needed to something on my GW4C as soon as possible. Rather than waiting to all of the first hand reviews I just picked one that looked decent.
The one I picked was: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BFD6MVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is solid rather than film, installation was easy, it passes my inspection. Touch is not degraded, and I feel much better that it is there than I did when it was not...
Another vote for the Suoman brand. Here is the link for the 42mm version

One note/negative is that these fit all the way to the edge, no gap for dirt to get trapped. I kind of mentioned it as a negative as at first I thought one of them was scratched near the edge. Ripped it off and put on a second one only to find out it was just that it wasn't adhering near the edge. Had to rub and press hard for it to finally adhere. Now it looks stock, like there isn't even a protector on it. It came with 4 in the pack so still have 2 more in the event I ever need it but doubt it as my Gear 2 still has the original protector I put on long ago.

The reason for this is that there's a compatible case for the watch that you buy separately. I got the GW4 40mm Spigen Liquid Air case and the tempered glass screen protector and the two work together really well (the case takes a few days to get used to though)

So did anyone find a screen protector (glass or film) that covers the 44mm watch 4 (non-classic) edge to edge?
Would appreciate a link! Thank you!
I'm using these ones, I bought them for my GWA2, but they work GREAT also for my GW4.
ArmorSuit MilitaryShield 6 Pack
Hey all,
I picked up some glass screen protectors to hide an existing scratch and prevent future scratches. The only issue I have is that it's not a perfect fit. There's a slight gap around the edges which results in the display's light being slightly refracted around the perimeter. It's quite distracting when viewing content with white or other light-colored backgrounds.
Has anyone found a tempered glass protector that covers the entire display of the 46mm GW4 Classic, from edge to edge?
Thanks in advance!
I purchased this one and it seems to fit good. The protective case fit good too.

Unfortunately, the one you recommended is even smaller than the one I had installed. Doesn't come close to reaching the edges of the display. While I must admit that I'm no longer seeing the type of annoying light refraction that I was getting with the previous protector, viewing the watch from certain angles is pretty annoying because it's very easy to see where the tempered glass protector ends, leaving a weird gap between the display and bezel. Oh well. I appreciate the effort
Sorry about that. It really does not bother me and the glass is crystal clear. That is the main part I was looking for. Also like the protector for the watch body. Hope you do find one that is a closer fit to what you want.

The fit is perfect! The protectors (2 are included) come attached to guide trays that are perfectly molded to fit the shape of the GW4. This makes it impossible to screw up the placement and alignment of the protector. The fit is flawless, covering the entire display from edge to edge. No gap. Can't even tell it's installed.
Nice, when I need a new one then maybe I will order that one. Are you using the case protector from the other order?

No. I tried it and, while it does fit nicely, it makes rotating the bezel really difficult.
I got used to it. Also, you could get one of the bezel covers to make it higher.

Just received this one today. I've tried so many and this is definitely the best one out there. The others were definitely too small, but this fit is really good. Thanks for the heads up @Cyclops1055
I recently got got a watch 4 classic 46mm, and cant seem to find a screen protector for it without ordering online, which i want to avoid cuz shipping us more expensive then the protector. So are screen protectors for previous watches compatible with it (f.e. watch 3 45mm sp for watch4c 46mm cuz of the same screen size)?
TLDR:
Can i use a screen protector from previous gen watches if the screen size is the same?
