What glass protectors are available now for shipping for iphone 7 plus? maybe amazon prime so i can get it before my phone gets here.

I like the ones that don't have the rounded edge. it just needs to lay on the flat part of the phone.

sorry if this has been answered. I feel not all have been tested on the iphone 7 plus, cause of the new speaker hole.

My advice would be to go to your local Apple Store and have them install a Belkin invisiglass protector. The machine they use is so cool. Other than that, Zagg has quality products. IMHO, stay away from eBay or no name brands on amazon. I wasted money and finally went to the Apple Store.

im looking at anker and spigen. either one of those. I think the belkin one you are talking about is put on with liquid. not a huge fan of those. they have always turned yellow.

Here are the two (Spigen and Anker). Hopefully someone here can eyeball the speaker cutouts. The one with the cutout for the front camera is the Anker.

Meaning are the edges rounded so it doesn't feel sharp.

Both of them feel the same, so since the Spigen is rounded I assume the anker is as well. I'm sending it back mainly because I like having another one handy if i need to replace it after a few months of usage.

The Belkin one Apple installs doesn't cover the entire screen. They need to fix that.

Haven't received my phone yet :(. The cutouts are exactly the same size on the Spigen and Anker with the latter having an extra one for the camera.

Anyone have any recommendations? I'm going to get an OtterBox Commuter for my 7+. I want to get an E2E with the black borders. The Spigen looks okay but I probably won't receive it until Friday...

Yes, I would like to know people's opinions on the Zagg. Lifetime warranty sure sounds nice!

Used to swear by Zagg, but stopped using them honestly. I started getting the Tech Armor ones for my iPhones and iPads (Also has warranty but you don't have to pay anything like ZAGG to get a replacement)

anybody buy any of the cheaper tempered glass and think they have done a good job?
Click to expand...

Yeah I got a few and besides the pain in the ass installation it's been pretty great. I have a hard time lining up the spots correctly without getting dust under the screen.

Well Zagg gives the replacements for free, but all they charge is shipping which is around 5.00

No, they are a dry install and glass so I can't see them turning yellow. But a lot here say Anker makes a good product.
