This is my preferred cut for a glass screen protector (small slot for the ambient light sensor and no hole for the front camera), but the Amazon listing says it's for the 7 and 6/6S. The 7 has a wider and thinner speaker/mic cutout than the 6/6S, so it wouldn't be a perfect fit if it's just their 6/6S phone layout and just labeled as compatible with the 7.
Although, I am using a 6/6S glass screen protector on my 7, it's not perfectly centered in the cutout. The cutout is barely wide enough and higher in the cutout because it's thinner.

The home button cutout is huge. the ONE good thing about the Belkin for the 6 was that the cutouts were right up the the edge which made it look nice.
Yours looks like the website. Nothing in the website looks like mine. What the heck. Guess I'm going back tomorrow. I paid $40
For those with tempered glass screen protectors do you see a decrease in response for the touch id on either the 7 or previous models.? I want to get the unicorn beetle pro case with a tempered glass protector but not sure if I'll still have the same responsiveness.
I got one there Monday evening. It was not on the web site and I ordered a different one. i was able to change to the Belkin when I went to pick up.
Does yours have a big cutout above the earpiece or is the earpiece but out like a hole? Seems I may have gotten something else today when I picked it up.
I picked this CHOETECH up for $8. Will post more later but wanted to share pics. Sorry about quality; I had to take them with my iPad Air for obvious reasons.

Did you put the protector on with your case on. Or you had the case off? Also was using the tape to make a hinge easy to do?
It might be a uk thing. Here is what I got. Listed on apple website with larger cut out.

anyone find any privacy screens for the iPhone 7 Plus yet that they'd recommend?
looks great, do you know the brand of screen protector that is?

That exact same one is listed on the US site now too. I can't find a Belkin on their website that looks like mine. I know it's a Belkin because they used the machine. I'm worried I got an inferior product and that the cutout above the earpiece needs to be there. I've attached mine. Can anyone locate anything like this on Apple's site?

Apple has two different screen protectors from Belkin. The one that you have is the one that is installed in-store with the machine. It's not on Apple's website because it's only sold at the Apple stores for those that specifically ask for it. The one with the larger cutout requires you to install it yourself. These have been sold by Apple since the 6 (or 6s?).
The wavvy cutout at the top is like some of the other brands that I have tried that were specifically made for the Iphone 7. Normally it would be a small U shape for the 6.
I think you either have a revised better version or the version that Belkin plans to sell on their site. Yours only has a small space around the home button and it seems the Apple variety others are posting for the 7 has the huge cutout for the home button.
Last year I bought a Tech 21 from Apple and then one from T-mobile. The exact packaging, but the Apple version had the huge home button cutout and the T-mobile one was normal sized.
The difference may be the machine vs regular packaging too.
I hope I get the one you have as long as it doesn't halo. My order should be here tomorrow.
I have zero halo but it does go exactly to the edges of the screen so you get a bit of the rainbow effect but it doesn't bother me. You might have to ask Apple for the one I have. The guy had to go into the back and get it for me.
I had the rainbow on my original Iphone 6 from Zagg. I thought it was bad and so did Zagg. So they redesigned and have had halo ever since. Now I am ready to pick rainbow over halo.
Well I found out that you shouldn't use the steamy bathroom method for installing glass protectors.
Put one on Tuesday when I received my 7 Plus. The protector condensated as I was applying so I have been waiting for a slight haze it had to dry out.
It didn't really clear so as i bought a two pack I decided to take it off and apply the other.
When I got it off the haze must have been the adhesive effected by the dampness as it wouldn't clean off.
So, did the other outside hoping the absence of household dust in the air would aid a clean install.
It did, went on perfect with one tiny, tiny speck of dust on the bottom right of the bezel, only visible in certain lighting.
Yay.

I noticed there are now two different tempered glasses available from G.D.SMITH on Aliexpress. I asked what the difference was between 1 and 2. And the response was
I did follow-up and asked which one is the iPhone 7 Icemax, which I have yet to receive a response, but my guess is that it's the first link ($13.99), not the $8.99 one that some of us purchased earlier. I also see that it's now on Amazon (LINK), so it'll probably be a matter of time until it's available for prime. I'm going to wait it out before I order yet another screen protector
