iPhone 7 / 7+ Glass Screen Protectors

kgenova said:
I reviewed the ThanoTech E2E a few days ago. Overall, I'm really happy with it--it went on like a dream, with absolutely no bubbles from the get go. The fit is very nice for a non curved SP (almost edge to edge, but not quite), so it fits with a lot of cases. So far, the only case that it doesn't work with is the Rokform Rugged Case for iPhone 7 Plus--I guess the edges on that one are too aggressive. Anyway, the only issue I have with it is that its oleophobic coating is not as good as the top screen protectors I have reviewed. It's OK, but seems to show fingerprints more easily and doesn't have that super buttery, slippery feeling that some screen protectors have. Here's my review:

which brand has the best oleophobic coating for all the glass protectors that you have reviewed?
 
I haven't used as many as kg but of the ones I've used I like the zagg the best. It's the smoothest and showed the least fingerprints of any I've tried.

I agree with Kingston73 that the Zagg screen protectors (with the sad and notable exception of the Sapphire Defense) have extremely good oleophobic coatings...
 
Anyone using godosmith icemax 3d with rhinoshield playproof for 7 plus?
Are they compatible?
 
After having the ThanoTech E2E on for a few days I have to say it's the best I've had for the 7 Plus.

It's a great fit with their bumper, zero gap on any side.

The smoothness of the glass is great as well as the coating. I was skeptical after seeing the review above, but I'm impressed.

If you have the K11 bumper, or a case that didn't work with another edge to edge protector this one is worth the shot.

So happy to hear that you like it! I like it too...I just wish its oleophobic coating were a teeny tiny bit better, but other than that, no complaints. And it does look great with the K11. Of course, it may be that there is variation in the oleophobic coating among screen protectors of a given model. Maybe some get a better coating than others...

After seeing your review of the Zagg Glass+ Luxe, I decided to get one. I've always been nervous about getting a screen protector since I'm a bit OCD and it would annoy me if there was any dust under the protector or if it wasn't installed 100% completely straight.

There is a Zagg kiosk in my local mall, so I decided to pay them a visit, and for $15 extra, they installed it for me and it came out perfect. So far I really like it. It makes the matte black iPhone 7 look nicer due to the matte black border, and the screen shows much less fingerprints than without the screen protector.

Another thing I've been nervous about in the past was the screen sensitivity. I do a lot of gaming on my iPhone, and due to the nature of the games I play, if there was any loss in screen sensitivity, it would be no good. I'm glad to report that there is no loss in sensitivity and the screen feels the same as if there was no screen protector, except perhaps for feeling a bit smoother, which is a good thing!

Awesome! So happy you like it!! It's a great screen protector!
 
Does anybody have experience with the Apple store installed Belkin screen protector? I think I'm going to pick up an IP7+ today and I want a screen protector. It's between the Apple store installed Belkin or a Zagg Glass Luxe +. Any thoughts?

I've had one of those Belkin ones fitted by Apple for about two months now. Seems to be holding up pretty good. The bad side is that it's extremely over priced.

Sorry, I'm a late follower to this thread. From what I'm reading Apple will install the Belkin glass screen protector? Do they charge a fee if you buy it at the store?
