Looking for tempered glass screen protector.

The cases and film based screen protectors are starting to appear on Amazon but I haven't noticed any tempered glass screen protectors.
If anyone finds any (that will ship to Canada) please post the link. The Tab S will stay in the box until I get a screen protector. I may have to buy a cheap plastic one to hold me over.
I wonder if a Tab Pro 8.4 protector would work?
Thanks,
D

Believe it or not I have managed to do this in the past. I actually take the tablet out of the box but don't unwrap it. Lol I will usually turn the tablet on ... With the wrapper still on ... to check the screen for dead pixels but that's it. I ended up ordering a film based protector. It will hold me over.

I want tempered glass cover.... But I will just be gentle with it until they have one

Anyone know how a tempered protector might impact the fingerprint scanner?

Most likely not at all since it probably wouldn't cover the home button. This design is similar to the S5 and I have not heard of any issues.

Until I find a good one in the Market. I will use this regular screen protector. I ordered it yesterday and it will be delivered tomorrow. It looks worthy for a 5 pack with prime shipping for $5.95

LOL at the lifetime warranty... but the include 5 in a pack...LOL

I don't know what everybody does with their phone or tablet, but I have never used a screen protector or seen the need for it. Especially since they introduced gorilla glass.

I saw this awhile ago but they don't ship to Canada.

My experience with these tempered glass protectors isn't good. For one if you bend the edge at all installing it it will never stick down property again. Also, with some time and wear the edges tend to lift up and once they do you can't stick it down again.
You are better off with just a standard screen protector.

For me it's the opposite. I have applied wet and dry film protectors and I find tempered glass is the best. After years of practice I am able to apply these glass protectors so they have no visual flaws. You couldn't tell there was a second layer on the tablet. Since these protectors are more expensive than the plastic film style and they don't come in multi packs, if you have never applied a screen protector, then I would practise first. But a package of cheap protector and get the feel for the application process.

Exact oppressor here as well. I love mine on the note 3

I'm waiting for a tempered glass to show up too (in canada).

Im using a plastic one until I get a glass one next month from china, i'm also promised one from samsung store once they receive them.
i've seen a few from yahoo.hk, but i'm sure they won't send internationally.

I got this one free from samsung store, the brand is A.R.M, it's a hong kong brand.
Quality is good, but I wish they cover the top of the ear piece, oh and these are not the china one's, all their plastic ones are made in japan.

Has anyone gotten a MIME screen protector?

I had a MIME screen protector for my S4 and was very happy with it and with their customer service. I ordered their S6 screen protector, and I want to return it but I can't even get them to respond to my messages. Has anyone else used them recently? Has the company just gone off the reservation?

I got a new screen protector for my S5 about 2 months ago through there warranty program and there wasn't any issues. Why do you plan or returning it btw? Is there some issue with it? I ask cause I considered purchasing one for my new S6.

I ordered it without reading about all of the issues others have had with glass screen protectors on the S6, and their website doesn't yet have photos of the glass on the S6. I was very disappointed by the glass not covering the whole front of the phone due to the phone's curved edges. I would rather wait for something that can cover the whole front of my phone.

Yeah the haloing effect due to the S6's curved edges were the reason I haven't bought a screen protector yet either. In terms of MIME not respond to you, I got a hold of them by messaging them through there "contact" page on there website if that helps. However it was for my old S5 a couple months ago.

Thanks. Yeah, I've used that Contact page twice, now, and haven't gotten any response.

I got a cheap brand on Amazon and was shocked at how small it was...I had Mime Ghost on my S5 and it was amazing so I sprung for the same kind on my S6.
No bueno.
It's almost as bad as the cheap one, except it cost $20 more.
I'm wondering if a PVC/vinyl/whatever might be better because it's more flexible.
I've also noticed that dust collects between the edge of the screen protector and the bumper case I've got.

yup, just film.

FWIW, I finally tried contacting MIME through email rather than their contact page, and they responded and said that they would gladly allow me to return my glass.

did they want you to have the original packaging? i threw all that out, now i only have a sheet of glass...

They didn't specify, but I do still have all of the packaging. Try contacting them via email and see what they say.

Screen Protectors?

Anyone tried anything yet?
I'm waiting for the Frontier to be in stock again (UK)
Seen a few protectors for sale just wondering.

They're a cheap investment to protect your watch face, I'd recommend them. I just purchased a 3 pack from Amazon. A lot of complaints about the size but I understand that if it's a perfect fit and they don't position it perfectly that it could come off or break easier.

Or stop the rotating bezel working correctly.

I'll prob opt to go with the wet apply style protector, ie skinomi or something similar. The glass one linked on here looks to be a turd.

Hi guys, I ordered my glass screen from deals&bargain on Amazon UK & it finally arrived today. So far the fit and glass has been superb on my s3 frontier. It leaves a small .5mm space around the glass that isn't ideal as you want the whole screen protected however when i asked them why this is, they told me the reason for this is if the screen did crack it is easier to take it off whereas if the screen was edge to edge it will be very difficult to remove. They had this stated on their description what was a good thing as i read many other seller review and they didn't mention this . I have uploaded images of the glass screen and a link to the seller. Link to seller: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Frontier-Protector-VPUK-Ultra-thin-Resistant/dp/B01LZ6NS3E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480374367&sr=8-1&keywords=B01LZ6NS3E & images here

Here are some pics of the protectors. They do not go all the way to the edge of the watch. There is a millimeter or so gap all the way around the edges. It is OK, but I do feel the gap when I am swiping on the screen. The protector could go to the edge of the screen. The rotating bezel would not interfere.

So... has anyone found a good quality screen protector (glass or film) that provides a perfect fit?

Thanks to share the feature of Samsung gear watch .

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NA8V53P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the one I bought and I will buy them again. Fits perfectly. Can't really feel it when swiping from edge. I can only see it from an angle and I have to kinda look for it. You can feel it with your fingernail on the edge if you pick at it. Doesn't interfere with the bezel at all. It comes with a little suction cup to put it on.

@FreddyFredFred thank you, that's the first one which fits good. But it can't be shipped to Europe. Does anybody sales it anywhere else? I had some protectors from ebay, but there is too big gap on edges.

glass, cut precisely alomost as big as the screen (if they were bigger I could not move them/take them out). Very good packaging.

So just moved from the S2 to the S3. I previously had a plastic type screen protector on the S2, but thinking of going naked with the S3. I cant find any scratch tests or real reviews on the new Guerrilla glass they are using, so I'm wondering what peoples opinions are. I mean Samsung does tout this as a rugged watch so I'm hoping it can take some sort of beating. I'd expect the bezel to get scratched before the glass.

I use a tempered glass protector on my frontier. Bought a three pack of eBay. Super easy to apply and a good fit.
Has not altered the visibility of the watch or the sensitivity of the touch face interaction.
You wouldn't now it was there unless you really went looking for it as it is just a tiny bit smaller that the face.

I use a generic

Who's rocking their s7e without any tempered glass and or case?

Had a case since buying this phone because it's all glass. Never put a case or tempered glass on any of my LG phones but that's because they were plastic but they did handle quite a few drops. Who here is rocking theirs naked? This phone is too beautiful to cover it up. Any of you have dropped an broken it? If so from what height?

i've good luck with naked s7 edge for a year now

Have you dropped on accident before?

The only reason I have a clear back case for mine is because if I don't, my fat fingers touch the edge of the screen and make it near impossible to operate...
I'm pretty careful, but have dropped it onto a tiled floor a couple of times from ~1m with no damage.

Nope. Luck us with me.

I used my s6edge without a case for 1 year and a half...dropped it 4 times total and no damage at the screen or the back just few scufs here and there...a lot of mini scratches but those are invisible unless you put it on the sunlight...currently using my s7edge with a plastic cover...im asfraid to use it without althought this cover makes it look like sh*t..

I have only the clear case which came with it when it was purchased. Swiped it off a table a week ago and everything is working fine. Carrying it in my trouser pocket every day and no scratches on the screen.

I don't buy a beautiful and slim phone like S7 edge to hide it behind a case that makes it fat again !...
... but I broke the screen once and the back twice, which costs an eye to get repaired
Well, it didn't break each time it fell on stone at least !

I bought the original samsung leather case but i used it for less than a month ahah
Oh and i freaking hate screen protectors and even more tempered glass protectors

That's what I say lol this phone is too sexy to be covered up lol from how high did it fall? On YouTube drop test it withstood from like 10 feet.

I am rocking with my s7 edge without tempered glass and cover / case since 6 months and it is fine

Using mine without screen protector, and got some small scratches (nothing really noticable, or deep). I'm also using a ~8$ silicone case.

Ima scared too.

Almost been a year now

I haven't used a screen protector or case on any of my flagship devices for the past 8 years or so, and I buy a new one every year.
Screen protectors ruin the look and feel of the gorgeous display. And cases are just ugly and bulky.
And yes I've dropped mine, many times, sometimes onto concrete from pocket height. Very minor dent on the edge. Not smashes or cracks.

I use cases only when i go out with my bike, as i have to mount on bike for SHealth.. droped mine on sunday and got a crack on top, i was on phone call when phone droped, if the phone was naked I beleive the phone couldnt survive only with small crack.. btw on daily basis i dont use any case or screen protector.

I have seen plenty of broken screens and would recommend to anyone to put a case on their $800 device.

Had a s6 edge dropped from my hands when i tried to put it into my pouch style case. Staright down to the floor and the screen cracked terribly. Bad luck i guess now we have two s7 edges both with stock clear view and lcd view cases dropped several times but on carpets with no damage.

i use only a silicon bumper without screen protector from almost 6 monts now, the screen is alright

I use my s7 edge without any protection since 9 months and it's all fine.

Nubia Tempered Glass

I ordered the Tempered glass from NubiaMart - took a while to arrive, but now that it has, I was impressed to see it's actually made by Nubia.
The quality is very good and the package includes a plastic trim that's used to help guide the glass when installing it so that it lines up perfectly.
There a warning/recommendation to re-learn your fingerprints after installing a screen protector - unfortunately, this is the biggest flaw with the glass.
The fingerprint sensor on the 5G is finicky to begin with (the first software update improved it a bit) but with the glass installed the fingerprint sensor has become pretty much un-useable. I can only hope a future update will improve the sensor further to allow it to work with the glass installed.
Update: rebooted the phone and re-learned fingerprints again - went a bit better and working about the same as before...

where did you buy the glass? I was hoping that the fingerprint would work so how many times do you need to press your thumb in order to unlock it?

I purchased from nubiamart.com
They now have other screen protector options available for the 5G, but I purchased this one:
https://www.nubiamart.com/original-...d-glass-protective-film-screen-protector.html
Fingerprint detection is still hit and miss - sometimes it'll work immediately, other times not at all. I'm not sure if it's a matter of finger positioning or pressure or star alignment...

Hi there
I buy this one...

I got a glass screen protector with the device from Cect-shop and had the same issue.
Lots of air bubbles yet I believe I did a good job of fitting!
It ended up cracking in two places, I have no idea how. Just took the phone out my pocket and it was cracked.
Anyway, I bought the following case and got a free glass screen protector.
It fitted "almost" perfectly, one small air bubble in the bottom left (off the screen itself and on the chin).
Pretty happy with it to be honest and the case is fantastic quality.

for the fingerprint, i figured out that if you learn your fp while using the provided film it works great, but once you apply the glass it will not work, so by simply relearning the fingerprints will do the job.. =)
