Samsung Galaxy S7 Tempered Glass - Fail

[shaggyskunk]

With over 55 Million S7 devices sold - Why is it that No Company has produced a proper fitting Tempered Glass screen protector?? Spigen - Bodyguardz... Not one of them has..

same here. I got some online and when they arrived they are ridiculous small. looks stupid.
So I got one that actually covers the whole front of the phone. Works good.

Try Clearplex if available where you live.

No company has made one which properly fits because the phone's screen is a horribly complex shape to make a glass screen protector for. They'd have to make the protectors individually and curve them perfectly to fit the screen. Then the protector would be very expensive, and installation would require a much greater degree of accuracy. Look at all of the different protectors out there which have the same problems. Many of those companies have done their best with the material they buy from a glass supplier. They either go too close to the edge and know it'll lift, or stick with the flat surface only and know it' won't offer full coverage. This phone is probably a huge headache for them.

I've done what thundastruck has and stayed away from glass with my S7. It sucks, but I want good screen coverage and case compatibility. You can't get that with glass on the S7.

Well Bodyguardz has decided to make a Tempered Glass Screen protector for the S8 that actually fits the curves - But I spoke to Bodyguardz and they DON'T have any plans to manufacture the ARC for the S7.....

That's the thing: The S8 was made with curved sides, but they aren't nearly as difficult to make a protector for as the subtly tapered sides/corners/top/bottom that the S7 has. Manufacturers can better handle curves that run the entire length of the sides. Even so, when looking at screen protector reviews for the S8 I see folks are having a tough time with breakage and case compatibility. Flat screens are where glass protectors do best, as they can be cut from bulk sheets, need little to no additional processing, and installation is much easier.

Has anyone tried Bodyguardz's screen protector or contact case?

All S8 protectors are pretty much crap, just like they were for the S6 and S7. There's only one that works properly is the Whitestone Dome, but it's been out of stock pretty consistantly since it came out.

Have you tried the Bodyguardz ARC?

I have not, others have. Like I said, the ONLY one that works properly is the Whitestone Dome. The. Only. One.

Here's how you can tell: Watch the BodyGuardz install video. See where he says "Run your finger along the edges to smooth the small bead of adhesive"? Yeah, that means there's no adhesive over the screen, and it's the same POS overpriced crap everyone else is selling.
