I have babied my S7 edge and until yesterday it had no scratches, I have owned it since launch. Today i change cases and notice. 1.5-2" deep scratch in the back glass.
Where can I get an official oem replacement back glass? There are lots online but I have a feeling many are fake.
What about an in-store replacement?
Can that be done without compromising the waterproofness?

Update : visited Samsung warrington and they repaired my back glass for £58.50. No idea why they are cheaper than Samsung Manchester!

Im trying to see if any1 had any luck with a glass screen protector and a case
I've looked on eBay and have seen some, it would be nice if invisible shield would just make one already. I have the regular invisible shield on right now and the corners bubble.

Check out Seidio cases. I have one and it's great.

I bought a spigen case on ebay for $10 and I love it. The screen does not touch the surface. As for the (tempured) screen protector, no luck with out dishing out around 30-50 and who knows of they are any good. I bought a $15 one on ebay and returned it. I'm going to wait till a reputable protector comes out.

Hey forum, I just got a s7 edge and am in the market for a tempered glass screen protector.
I've hit Amazon and ebay, scammed through pics and reviews from customers and it looks like there's little to none that cover the whole screen (edges included) that are durable, adhere well and stick to the screen and if there case friendly that would be nice.... If anyone has any they'd recommend Id appreciate it.

Its to hard make them out of glass because the screen is curved. Ive haven't seen any that have gotten good ratings. A few companies like zagg have them on the way. Zagg invisible shield is my go to protector. I'm sure there are a lot of great protectors I have not tried.

What Samsung needs to do is address the size of the edge screen slide or allow the option to resize

Don't waste your money on "tempered glass" protector. I've had two different brands and both of them lifted off the phone and cracked. None of them seem to be case friendly.

Hey papa mag, by Amy chance have you received the taken temp glass yet? I'm eager to hear what you half to say about it, this normal screen protector stuff isn't too bad but I'm eager to get my hands on a temp glass that is half decent, the zagg one should drop next month from what I hear.

Yes I did and it was a piece of cake to apply. Unfortunately I was stupid and in too big of a rush to put my case back on. I noticed that one corner of my case was hung up and while trying to fix that issue I cracked the screen protector.
I will say that it lined and matched up perfectly no issues with touch sensitivity the edge feature is less responsive. Do to my own stupidity I have another glass on the way.

F that bro. You'll be just spending money on screen protectors. I still have my Zagg shield that I had to literally cut every single corner in, in order for any of my cases to fit properly. Sucks to not have tempered glass I love it but I rather have my edges. Im looking forward to the note 6. Rumored 4000 MAh battery, and two variants. Everyone including myself will take a note with spen and the beauty of the edge screen along with s7 edge features(water resistant/SDcard). Next year there bringing out the BIG GUNS. With foldable phones. Seeing people really liked the edge I believed Samsung is ready now, back when they revealed the concept(S3) it wouldn't be a good idea, now tho im sure they perfected the technology and were ready for what will bring out next.

I got the Taken Screen protector today. Let's just say I feel "Taken". Protector went on ok and that wasn't the issue. It was a fingerprint/palm print/smudge magnet. It was so bad that I thought there was a protective cover plastic on the glass. Sadly there wasn't. There is a thin piece of sticky adhesive around the inside of the glass that is used to adhere the protector to the phone. This made a crinkly sound anytime you pressed where the adhesive was. After 15 minutes, my screen was naked again.

From what I've read most curved glass screens require additional duct tape to hold it in place...and because they don't have any glue in the middle, it doesn't really contact the screen itself, ruining touch sensitivity.
I had a tempered glass on my s6+ it glued just fine but is it worth using

I think we have a misunderstanding between two Puerto Ricans. I meant the screen protectors that are applied using the wet method. I did not say my fingers are wet.

I put a Skinomi screen protector on mine yesterday. It goes on wet. Before this I've only used tempered glass but there isn't any good option for the Note 7 yet. I'm surprised to say that I'm happy with the Skinomi. It hasn't effected touch sensitivity or the pen, and feels good.

Are you using a case with it?
I've got a clear Ringke case that was 99 cents as a preorder. It just barely touches the corners of the screen protector. Doesn't seem to be pushing it up after a few days.
Had the Skinomi on for one day. Applied perfectly with no bubbles or lint or anything in a steam filled bathroom and then let sit for a day. Shortly after putting the case on, started bunching up on 2 corners and this was the case friendly film I might add. Next day I broke down and went to ATT store and put the curved plastic protector they had there. Better than nothing and plays well with my case.
Problem with that is not every case is the same. Sounds like your case goes farther up on the screen than mine. Which case had issues with the Skinomi?
Who here is going to get the defender series? Please post your 2 cent on the product below when you receive it.

The recent reviews on Amazon the last couple of days have been terrible and the complaints on the issues are consistent with each other (poor button response, floating SP ect...) Looks like otterbox needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.
Anyone here who actually had the defender in hand care to verify the issue or there experience.

I gave up on Otterbox many years ago. I've used UAG cases on all my phones since the iPhone 5 and can't imagine using anything else. Just got my UAG case for my Note 7 today and love it as much as I've loved it for every other device. I can't recommend it enough.
