It's not obvious at all that you have anything on your iPhone. Looks great - I'm definitely going to pay $40 to have someone deface my JB 7+.

Yeeeeesh. Tough crowd. You do you, man.

I do wish the tempered glass covered more of the front. I think their regular does, though.

That tempered glass looks horrible. Don't they have one that covers most of the front?

I don't think tempered glass screen protectors have gone all the way to sides since they made the iPhone 6 because the ends have a curve to them. I Have the whole body, regular screen protector and it goes all the way to the ends.

Got the ghost armor and I absolutely hate it. Taking it off and returuning it. I'm going to stick to the sleeves I have laying around and just use them to carry the phone in pockets. Otherwise naked it is for me. I don't care about superficial scratches

There are a bunch with slightly curved glass since the 6s came about. But in general I find that the iPhones have a recessed screen in comparison to some of the Androids that adding a glass screen protector just makes the screen even deeper.
You'll understand what I mean especially on a white faces iPhone when you look at the selfies camera cutout and speaker grille in different angles. The screen protector always looks misaligned from different angles.

Not a fan of how it feels on the edges. It's rough and the edges attract dirt which looks horrible with the jet black.

I had one way back and recall the feel of the edges, but got used to it. The edges do pick up lint, but nothing major in my opinion. Maybe the matte black iPhone 7 hides it better?

I have a tempered glass protector on my iPhone 6+ and it's cut the same way. It cannot go any farther on the phone because it will start to peel up if covers all the front.

I went to my local mall and visited the Zagg kiosk this morning. They installed the hd front and regular back. It looks awesome. The key is having it installed correctly with no lint and no air/water bubbles, etc. Now I just need a nice and slim bumper!

There are plenty of edge-to-edge screen protectors (well... there were for the 6s/6s+ phones). i ordered a temporary one from amazon for hubby's phone until the brand we had on our s's becomes available. it has a black border so you don't get that "piece of glass plopped on your screen" look.

for my rose gold i actually ordered one that the white portion is covered with rose gold and then glass on the screen.... so no plopped look on that either!
