Hello all, Daughter has just bought herself an S7, and a Symmetry case. We cannot for love nor money find a glass screen protector that is suitable with this case! I have bought at least 4 different ones, and have come to the conclusion that there are none :( they either won't fit at all.' or slide right off once the case is on.

I reckon the only way to go is with a film one. Any recommendations? I looked at IQ Shield on eBay, but I am in Ireland and not prepared to pay €30 shipping :laugh:

I truly wouldn't bother. The film ones end up peeling up at the corners and/or looking crappy after a few months anyway. The gorilla glass on the S7 is pretty damn durable, don't even worry about it.

I went through like 20 different screen protectors of various brands between me (S7 edge), my wife (S7 flat) and my mother (S7 flat) before giving up entirely. None of them fit right, none of them stick forever. We've all gone well over a year without a screen protector and none of our phones have significant scratches whatsoever. Just tell your daughter not to put her phone in the same pocket with her keys, don't lay it face-down on rough surfaces, etc. Just generally be good to her phone and it'll be fine.

The problem isn't the case, which is one of the many S7 cases I have. The problem is the curved screen.
