amFilm Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S7, Tempered Glass, Dot Matrix, 3D Curved, with Black Border

I just received this in the mail. I bought it mostly based on a YouTube video saying that it is the best screen protector for S7 and watched as he very quickly applied it and typed out a message perfectly. I do not understand the negative reviews. I opened the package which included a simple 4 step instruction guide, a wet wipe, a dry wipe, and a small cloth wipe. Directions say to use wet wipe to clean screen and dry wipe to dry it. I did this and it took about 30 seconds total. The wet wipe smells nice and immediately removed fingerprints without having to scrub at them. Directions then said to line up screen protector and set down gently. I used the openings at the top, which line up perfectly with your speaker and camera hole. It was perfect on the first try and only took about 10 seconds to line up. It is NOT difficult to apply for someone without normal hand coordination and balance. I'm not sure why others had a problem. Then, as per directions, I pressed around the edges to get a good stick. Afterwards (not in the directions), I pressed firmly throughout the middle of the phone, to make sure the glass was close to my phone screen. I then used the wet wipe to remove those fingerprints. It looks amazing, and as others have said, it does not look like there is one on your phone. Since so many said that their phones were no longer sensitive to their touch during use, I was a little nervous at this point. I had watched the guy in the video use his immediately with no problem, so I just decided to text my friend about my new protector. I typed out about a paragraph, including words with the letter "p". That seemed to be the most common issue with lack of sensitivity, along with the Zero. So I typed a few "0000" and then backspaced to remove them. I sent the text. I then checked to see if there were any mistypes or missing letters. There were not. So my sensitivity, as far as I could tell, was exactly the same as before I applied it. There is a setting on my S7 to adjust the touch sensitivity. It was set to the highest sensitivity when I got it. I wonder if the problem for others is because they had lowered their sensitivity at some point in the past, and that is why they had problems after applying it. It did not interfere with applying my new lime green Ballistic case. Time to go show it around town. Expecting all my friends to be ordering one by the end of the day. =) UPDATE: After a couple days I lost sensitivity and now I have to push very hard on areas around the edges. It is extremely hard to type. This seemed to coincide with the time my new case arrived. I found other reviews where the opposite happened.... Low sensitivity when first installed, but getting better over the next couple of weeks. If I press down hard around the screen like when I first applied it, the sensitivity is better for a little while, but still not as good as when it was first applied. It may be that the case is causing it to lift up or something. I will try using it without the case again for a few days. I will update if I figure this out. UPDATE: THE PROBLEM WAS MY CASE. Without the case on it, the sensitivity is fine. Easy to type, doesn't miss a letter. I inspected my case and noticed that the seam edge that touches the screen edge is sharp and protrudes slightly. This was obviously sliding under the screen protector and causing the loss of sensitivity. I sanded off this sharp edge on the case, and put it back on my phone. Now there is no problem. I reaffirm my 5 star rating for this screen protector.

I have tried a couple of S7 glass screen protectors. Every one which I have tried has been either partial coverage or halo effect on the edges. It is uncomfortable to slide your finger over the edges of a partial coverage screen protector. In my search for a full coverage screen protectors that has no halo effect, I think this amFile Bye-Bye Bubble glass protector is what I want. First of all, this is not a traditional glass screen protector, which sticks to the actual phone screen. The Bye-Bye Bubble screen protector only sticks to the screen on the top, bottom and edges. The display region is not adhered to the screen. Instead, it is filled with a dot matrix. The dot matrix is visible when the screen is off, however, it is barely noticeable when the screen is on. From what I understand, the dot matrix is under the screen protector, and allows for contact on the screen-imitation your finger. So, they are kinda needed in order to have a functional screen protector which is full coverage. The good thing is that you will not have bubbles or halo effect. However, the bad thing is the dot matrix may be annoying to someone else. Secondly is the fit. Unlike the partial coverage screen protector, this one is edge to edge and the cut is perfectly measured. I noticed that there are some reviews that aid there was no cutout for the camera, while others said there was a cutout. I would say there is a cutout for the camera, buy not a real cut. The glass is not open, just transparent, so the camera works just as it should. Lastly, unlike the other glass screen protector which have a margin between the protector and the edges of the phone, this screen protector is designed to cover from edge to edge. This is a good thing for protection, but if you have a case that wraps around the phone tightly, those kinds of cases might not be compatible with this screen protector. If you have a case that is s slim fit (not wrapping around the edges) you will have no problem at all. Between the partial coverage screen protector and this dot matrix one, I would choose this latter one without doubt. it is not a perfect one, but it is much better than a partial coverage screen protector when you move finger on the screen. I wish I could find a full coverage traditional glass screen protector that would stick well to the phone. I am not sure if it is possible to make one because all the edges of the S7 are curved. If anyone finds one, please share it with me.

UPDATE: I've been using a different, non-glass screen protector for the last six months after the issues with this product (see original review below), but the non-glass protector started failing, so I decided to go back to glass. Despite my previous bad experience with this screen protector, I decided to give it a second try, just in case. This time around, I'm much happier! It installed quickly and easily, lined up just as it should, and doesn't interfere with my Otterbox case. It's been on my phone for a while now with no adhesive failure like last time, either. Within 24 hours of putting it on my phone, it did crack up near the top (the clear area where "Samsung" is displayed), but I think I had accidentally clipped the phone with a hard object, so while I'm not happy that it's already cracked, it's still usable and at least I know it does what it's supposed to do: protect the screen! Overall, between my two experiences with this product, I'm giving it 4 stars. ORIGINAL: When I first installed this screen protector, I was quite pleased. It fit the phone screen and my Otterbox Commuter case didn't conflict with the screen protector edges. The screen protector was clear, adhered perfectly with no bubbles or dust trapped under it, and it even looked nice! The top and bottom of the screen were a bit hard to access through the screen protector (swiping down for the menu or pressing the bottom buttons), but I've run into that before with other screen protectors, so I didn't think much of it. In less than 24 hours, though, the adhesive on the bottom half (diagonally) of the screen protector had disengaged from my phone screen. I had to all but smash the screen protector to get it to connect with the screen underneath. Whenever I did get it to connect, it made this awful squelching noise that made me cringe and hope I hadn't done damage to the actual screen. I had to take it off completely because it was worse than having no screen protector. I want my money back!

My previous screen protector was a plastic film protector and it worked very well to keep my screen free of scratches and breakage. A precipitous nightime fall rendered my screen protector compromised and the search for a replacement was on. In the past, I have shied away from glass screen protectors due to their expense and my inexperience. So I took a risk in ordering the TechMatte screen protector. Packaging: The screen protector arrived in a slim package that is identical to the one pictured. Inside the box were some very simple instructions, a small square of dust-pickup stickers (these were handy), a small screen chamois, a wet wipe and a dry wipe for cleaning. Installation: Installation was easier than I thought. After removing my old film and removing the gunk and dust that had worked it's way underneath, I simply removed the adhesive backing on the screen protector and carefully placed it on my phone. The screen protector has cutouts for the home button, front-facing camera, the upper speaker and the sensors to the left of the speaker. It also has windows in the black portion that allow you to see "SAMSUNG", your blinking status dot, and the app and back buttons on the bottom. Here's where I goofed. Although I had an excellent line up on the top, I was slightly off on the bottom. While the app, home and back buttons all worked it did not look correct when they lit up. So I gently peeled the screen back up and pressed the buttons before lining it up and presto! Perfect alignment. Look and Feel: Overall the feel is terrific, way better than my plastic film. It honestly feels like I'm touching the actual s7 screen, not the screen protector. It is smooth and touch response is actually better and faster than my film, no doubt due to its age. Nevertheless, a nice improvement. It does get fingerprints but they are unnoticeable when the screen is on and it is, of course, easy to wipe clean. The curve of the screen works well to eliminate any gap on the edge of the screen. That said, I have a OB case on my phone that negates the edge of the screen anyway (to hard to get your finger there to click or drag anything - annoying actually). It's quite possible that the black bezel (paint on the protector) may slightly dimish the visible part of the screen but with my screen protector I do not notice. Installation Tips: Press your home button to turn on the bottom soft-button lights so you can line those up easily. That was missing from the installation instructions and would have made that job a bit easier. You CAN lift it up and reinstall it but be careful. I had not problem doing it - it did not crack or break and did not lose it's adhesive quality. Your mileage may vary. Get your screen CLEAN. The supplied wipes and stickers meant I had no bubble when I set the screen onto my phone. That's it. No extra cleaners, no scraping the glass to squeeze out the bubbles. It was easier than I expected. Overall, I highly recommend this screen protector. If I ever drop my phone and it breaks, I'll return back to comment on how my actual screen underneath fared. Until then, I am very satisfied.

I read several reviews of multiple screen protectors for the Galaxy S7 before settling on this one as it had so many reviews compared to others. In the past I have only purchased Zagg screen protectors for my phones. They tend to be more expensive but are usually far better than any other brand on the market. But the Zagg screen protector specifically for the Galaxy S7 has had very poor reviews. I know there is an issue with the Galaxy S7 due to the curving at the edge of the screen, even on the standard S7, not the S7 edge (I wish Samsung would go back to standard flat screens as previous Galaxy models). I noticed this protector has been colored black on the edges and top and bottom. There are a few other colors of this brand available to match closely the original overall color of your phone. This coloring makes it very difficult to apply as you have to really apply it on the screen exactly perfect otherwise you will cover up the lite action controls to the left and right of the home button. After I applied the screen protector, I noticed what I thought a perfect application. It is normally very difficult to apply a protector as usually a piece of lint or dust gets between the protector and the screen. I usually have a bottle of canned air handy and apply the protector in the kitchen where there is not as much dust and where I have better lighting. Some reviewers have pointed out that the protector is thick and makes pushing the home button feel more awkward. The issue is not with the thickness of the protector, but the fact it covers the portion of the screen all the way around the home button. The Zagg protectors I used on my older Galaxy phones as well as other protectors I have seen on Amazon for the Galaxy S7 have been notched to allow access to the home button instead of cutting a hole for the protector as was done with this one. The main issue I have with the protector is the fact that it interferes with the sensitivity of the screen. Sometimes I can't get the screen to respond when I touch it. This has to do with the fact the protector ONLY has adhesive around the edges, not in the middle which explains why it seems to not adhear to the screen. I have been using screen protectors and cases for phones for years and I noticed when I tap the screen with my finger, I noticed a specific sound like it is sitting on top of the screen. A protector that ad hears to all parts of the screen makes a different sound when tapped, like it is part of the screen itself. Unfortunately for me the sensitivity issue is so bad I am going to return the protector and look for different brand. UPDATE: I have tried one other glass screen protector, but the problem was it did not adhear to the edges, opposite problem this protector has. The best bet I was told was to try a flexible protector, you lose the glass like feel, but it they will not interfere with the screen sensitivity. It is give and take with screen protectors for the S7 and also with the new S8 as they both have tapered edge screens. The only other option I see is just not to use a screen protector at all.

I wasn't sure if I would like this screen protector after reading all of the reviews, but I am very pleased. Yes, there is a little "double tapping" needed on the edges when texting, but it's no big deal. The glass protector is super smooth. It is very easy to open any widget and use the apps. I have been able to move and rearrange my apps using this glass protector with no problem at all. I've had no problems at all pulling down the notification screen. I am surprised at some of the reviews that I've read stating that after a few days the touch sensitivity was a huge problem over the entire screen. I'm having the opposite result so far. I LOVE how it covers right up to the edges. It looks so good. I had no trouble placing the glass protector on perfectly (see photos). I followed the simple directions....clean the screen with the wet and dry wipes provided. Aligned up the protector and laid it over the phone. All of the openings aligned up nicely. I have tried other protectors and I like this one the best so far. This one has a beautiful quality and the price is unbelievable. UPDATE: January 31, 2018 - I ordered a replacement screen after I dropped my phone a few times and the glass protector cracked. Let me just say that my Samsung Galaxy S7 still looks like a brand new phone. Not one scratch on my cell phone. The new protector arrives super fast and I quickly installed the new screen. I rushed and had a few teeny tiny little pieces of lint under the screen. My OCD couldn't let this go so I took the screen off a few times and reapplied it. I was amazed that I didn't break it. The only problem was I now had created a slight air pocket in the middle. I contacted Tech Matte and they quickly sent a replacement glass protector. I was extremely careful to apply this one in a lint-free environment. It attached perfectly and looks fantastic! I still have NO problems at all with the screen and it's touch sensitivity that others complain about. It works perfectly fine. One last thing...........................Tech Matte has impeccable customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update 1/8/2020: I type this message on a screen that doesn't always pick up my taps. I gave this thing another shot b/c the phone my previous review covered went bad. I've been using a rigid film I got from five below, but the phone is so outdated that they don't carry the amazing product anymore. So back to glass I go. I got it applied evenly this time, but the little spaces for the buttons that light up on the bottom aren't perfect & it's just enough to make my OCD go bonkers. I have trouble getting the top bar thing to pull down. All around the edges, the touch sensitivity is greatly decreased. I have to actively press down on the screen to make things happen. It also holds on to fingerprints & smudges like a CSI lab. It's not what I wanted, but I tried an old flexible film from tech armor & it got lifted at some of the edges by my case. If anybody can tap into the rigid plastic the company that sells at five below used to make, let me know b/c that product was incredible! This thing is just meh. It's the lesser of all the evils on Amazon though & arrived in time for me to ditch the flimsy film I tried. Oh well! I hate to leave bad reviews, but I gotta say that this product is not easy to apply at all. Why isn't it completely clear? If you don't line it up just right, the buttons that light up will look awful. I couldn't get it to line up. The fraction of a millimeter I was off really made me mad, then when I went to press the edges down to seal the adhesive, it cracked on the right side! I own & groom dogs, so I wanted to make sure it was well sealed. If you're perfect at lining these up & don't live/work in super dusty conditions, get it. It looks good. I read that some buyers had issues getting the touchscreen to register on the edges. This will happen if it's not perfectly applied. I've since ordered a flexible film that won't crack & shouldn't cause dead spots. This phone is not designed well at all, but it's what I've got now. I'm 2 years behind b/c I refuse to pay installments on a new phone when I've paid for insurance for years. The phone is great for what I need, but the curved screen is the worst. I think we all need to give up on the glass screen protectors & improve upon flexible film protectors. Just a suggestion for the company.

Update 08/26/18: I dropped my phone on it's corner 2 months ago. The screen protector was cracked but I didn't remove it. I wanted to keep it on until found the time to get a new one. I was honestly afraid the actual screen might be cracked underneath as well because of the way my phone hit the cement. I ordered a new screen protector a couple of days ago and it just got in today. I ordered this exact same on again because of how amazing it fit my phone the first time. OMG! I took the old protector off and THERE IS NOT EVEN A SCRATCH ON MY SCREEN. I've been using the old protector for 2 months after I had already cracked it and dropped it multiple times after that and it STILL protected my screen. I'm a customer for life. I love this screen protector! I watched the video that was emailed to me about how to put it on. I then imitated exactly what I saw on the video and was able to put the screen protector on PERFECTLY the very first time. I wore latex gloves though for extra protection against smudges and fingerprints. I have 0 problems with my screen sensitivity. I think those who do have didn't align the screen protector correctly. I also don't have problems with it coming off. I made sure to press firmly down around the edges and I let it sit for at least 10 minutes before trying to mess with it. I think it needs a little time to set. You wouldn't want it to stick 100% right away just in case you misaligned it. Also I love that it works perfectly with my OtterBox Symmetry Series case. The case doesn't overlap the screen protector but you can't even tell that I have a tempered glass protector on it because there's only a paper thin line between the protector and the phone case. I've have similar glass screen protectors that didn't stick no matter what I did, didn't cover the entire screen, or wasn't compatible with even the thinnest phone cases. This is not one of them! I'm planning on buying one for my fiance's phone too.

Fel storlek, passar inte till telefonen som den är designad för.

Una pellicola in vetro di discreta qualità che si installa senza problemi e non lascia aloni, protegge tutto lo schermo, anche le parti curve, non si nota sul display, questi i pro. I contro, sensibilità un po' ridotta nei bordi del display e touch and feel così è così , il colore nero della pellicola dà un aspetto un po' tarocco al telefono ma una cosa fastidiosa, che il venditore non dice, è che alla luce del sole o in caso di ambienti molto luminosi la pellicola mostra una griglia orrenda di pixel grigi che fa scadere la qualità di questo prodotto. Idea buona ma da migliorare. Uso questa pellicola in combinazione con una coverbasics da 0.3 mm e nessun problema. In attesa di qualcosa di definitivo per samsung s7 questa è la soluzione indicata. Prezzo per me alto per una sola pellicola. Prodotto da rivedere non lo ricomprerei. Aggiornamento agosto 2016 e cambio idea. Ho deciso di comprare ancora il prodotto nonostante la mia recensione presente resti invariata. Il motivo è molto semplice il telefono è caduto dal mio zaino mentre ero a cavallo e la pellicola ha protetto il display alla grande scalfensosi appena in un lato. Sarebbe un best buy se non fosse per le odiose bande nere e i pixel che si vedono alla luce. Quindi le stelle restano invariate per un prodotto che catalogo nei, meglio di niente. Ancora un aggiornamento ottobre 2016 per segnalare la serietà dell'azienda post vendita e prodotto migliorato sensibilmente, ora la griglia dei pixel è quasi scomparsa e la sensibilità del touch migliorata. Da evitare l'accoppiata con cover spesse, tipo spigen, per intenderci. Prodotto consigliato.

Very easy to install with clear instructions. Everything need to prepare the phone is included. Once installed, the protector looks good. It's a little more reflective than the original glass but not too bad. Light transmission is reduced by a whisker but it's not noticeable after a bit of use. Feels good to the touch, with swipe typing easy. Touch sensitivity was not effected much. It's a good protector.
