iPhone 7 / 7+ Glass Screen Protectors

[willmtaylor]

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a edge to edge screen protector as I'm upgrading from 6 to 8, but i'm a bit lost with all the options out there.

I'm looking for a edge to edge one with rounded edges (so not the ThanoTech), and good oleophobic coating. The most popular seem to be the D&P/switcheasy and the Thanotech (which doesn't have rounded edge it seem?).

Would you recommend a better one ? I don't mind paying a little extra.

ps: I used to have a Cinder on my iphone 6, are they sill any good ?

Some have had luck with Godosmith AKA G.D.Smith. Others like the pricey IMOS. The rest have had varying success with various vendors. The consensus is that for some reason the products put out for the iPhone 7 were as good or consistent as for the 6.

Search this forum only for the word “edge” and you can read for yourself.

i had that one on my 6 as well - at the time it was arguably the best product but the company was an utter dumpster fire train wreck. are there better products or are there still people using these?

Am I right in thinking iphone 7 screen protectors will fit on the iPhone 8?

I’ve had a TechArmour screen protector on my iPhone 6 for 2 years and it’s only recently started showing signs of damage so was hoping to go for them again

Tech Armor Ballistic Glass - screen protectors (Apple, Tempered glass, Transparent, Mobile phone/Smartphone, iPhone 6) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EL94RQE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_djcXzbVH61MJ6

According to Amazon it was this one I bought in June 2015.

It chipped and has a hairline crack in a couple of month ago so I have complaints whatsoever

I just installed this on my iPhone 7 and it’s okay for the price. It has that ‘rainbow’ effect on the edges which is visible on white backgrounds. But apart from that, it feels great.

I find it a bit disappointing that we’re a year on from the iPhone 7 and there’s yet to be a good all-rounder screen protector.

AmFilm is this, as is Thanotech.

Recently had to replace our GD Smiths on a 7 Plus and 6 Plus but without availability on Amazon I was leery of ordering them again. Tried ThanoTech. Fit & finish and install were excellent. However, they quickly cracked & chipped. ThanoTech was great at getting a replacement sent out for the 6 Plus but that replacement has already cracked as well. The 7 Plus has a chip at the bottom near the home button but I'm not sure I'm going to bother with replacing it.

I think I'm going to try different options at this point. Not sure if the quality of their screen protectors isn't what it used to be or if they just aren't as durable as GD Smith but I'm disappointed based on our experience. While our GD Smiths did crack it was from hard drops with both devices. The ThanoTechs were not exposed to any drops, unusually hard pressure, etc -- at least that I'm aware of.

I've been using this for a few months now with no issues:

I like the zagg because for $5 you can have lifetime replacements, but it also doesn't look as good in black since the colored parts are a matte plastic. That cheap $10 one I posted has worked well, no chipping with the cases I use (thanotec k11 and rhinoshield solid suit) and it went on easily and looks good.

The Dollar Store tempered glass screen protectors work great. Give them a try.

Only thing I can think of 6 plus is softer aluminum and 7plus prone to creaks?

The G.D.Smith didn't survive a foot drop onto the toilet seat cover, shattered the corner. This time, went with the Manto screen protector and like this one even more because I can use my Apple silicone case with it. They come real close to touching but doesn't whereas the G.D.Smith wraps around the screen more and would have the case overlapping it. Hopefully the Manto is more resilient than the G.D.Smith, lol!

Mega thread and post revival! I just bought an iPhone 7 and am after a screen protector. Is this one a mango 3D protector? Also what’s the difference between these 2 please https://www.amazon.co.uk/MANTO-2-PA...=8-8&keywords=manto+screen+protector+iphone+7 and https://www.amazon.co.uk/MANTO-2-Pa...8-13&keywords=manto+screen+protector+iphone+7

I see Zagg have received very poor reviews. Quite schooled as they’ve normally even very good. The techarmors seem to have a blue tint around the edges. Anyone have these?
