Here is my 7Plus with a Peel glass full front screen protector. Works with all my cases including Apple.

God, that Peel protector looks very sick.
PS: I just installed my "4d" glass from Aliexpress and I have to say - don't fall in trap with them. The glass feels ok and looks ok but it's not curved at all, completely flat and it covers much less that my previous glass which had real curved edges and I was loving it but I hate that the screen part was separated and it stood out. It also doesn't fit in almost any case - I just had one really thin silicone case and it fit but I wanted Spigen's clear one. For the price, I would say it's ok but if you really care - don't buy it.
I'm looking forward to exploring Moshi ION Glass, Peel Glass and Rhinoshield Glass which at least have real curved edges but they're bit overpriced. (I anyone has them, please feel free to post pics)

I bought the same one after I picked up my iPhone 7 on launch.
Wasn't pleased with the gaps on either side of the screen as it was a bit distracting. Asked for a refund because it's unacceptable for that price.
Anyone have opinion on this - http://www.moxbii.com/metearmor_3d_....com/metearmor_3d_full_cover_screen_protector ?
It's claimed to be glass but 3 times thinner - from the video it looks just like a plastic for me. Sadly, available only for iPhone 7.

Bought a SecondSkin directly from their site and love it, not least because it actually contours the curved screen. The Peel looks pretty sweet too.
I just applied a black Peel E2E screen protector and while I like the look of it, I don't think it's the best screen protector you can buy.
Doesn't fit as well as others I've used do and you see air on one side that always creeps back in after I flatten it (see the top right corner in the last picture below).
Ps. It's the same with or without the case I put on.

Did that for me and went away after a day or so.
I bought the maxboost screen protector from amazon 2 for $7.99 ain't bad, however the side of he screen protector started catching lint that started sticking on the edges, this is annoying for a glass protector, used zagg protectors and never had this issue, on the sides catching lint ever...
Anyone got a suggestion for screen protector for the 7+ that doesn't get sticky on the edges and starts collecting lint.

Certainly is annoying. I don't think this can be prevented on standard non e2e s/p's.
Contact Belkin directly. I had this protector put on my phone on launch day and knew right away it wasnt normal since I had the same protector on my 6s that fit perfect. So I contacted Belkin, they claimed they were aware of the issue and were working on a fix that would be released in November (obviously that never happened). So they sent me a $40 refund check so I could repurchase the new version when it was released.
I have tried DP and Akwox 3D protectors and both have the same issue. The glue covers only the center leaving a parameter uncovered that gets dust. This includes part of the home button which gets annoying.
Is there a 3D protector that has full glue? I was planning on trying Zagg Luxe next.
Thanks.

Have quite a few scratches on my zagg hd glass after a month or so of use. I'm gonna take it off and try something else, but should I order a replacement hd glass from zagg or upgrade it to the glass luxe?
I just got the glass plus privacy for my 7 plus and wonder how it will be? I had a generic privacy one that was HORRIBLE cause had to keep my screen brightness on high and couldnt see anything during sunlight, hope the Zagg isnt like that.
What are the real differences between all their models?
Is there a big difference between these major brands like Zagg, Tech21, BodyGuardz, and all these name brand ones?
Hi all,
I read some of the pages of this thread but not all of them
I got a cheap generic glass screen protector. I doesn't stick around the edges and frankly looks horrible like that.
The seller responds by saying this is unavoidable:
"unfortunately because the screen of the iPhone 7 is rounded at the edges this issue is unavoidable, it is called the "halo effect" and affects many smartphones including the Note 4, iPhone 6, S6 and S7, the only way to avoid it is to make the glass smaller but then the screen isn't covered properly. This problem affects all screen protectors for the iPhone 7, even the expensive brands but the glass will not fall off and will still protect your screen in case of a drop or knock."
My question to you professionals: are there (non E2E) glass screen protectors that don't suffer from this?
I saw Anker has one that is a bit smaller but that could be leading to a rainbow effect (light shining through). Also the TechMatte’s amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector seems promising, has anyone tried that one before?
Thanks!
