Galaxy Note 7 Screen Protector, Skinomi TechSkin (Case Friendly) Full Coverage Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Clear HD Anti-Bubble Film

The reason I'm writing this is to just make anyone interested in this type of screen protector aware that it is a major PITA to install so it works with a tight case.Info: It is a wet application protector. The film itself has some sort of adhesive on it and the wet application solution is just water + detergent.Installation: Instructions are simple. Remove phone from case. Clean screen with included microfiber cloth. Wash hands. Wet outside of protector and your hands lightly with spray solution. Peel protector off and wet the adhesive side with solutions. Apply to phone. Wrap a card with the microfiber cloth and scrape all the bubbles and solution out from under the protector. Let sit for 10 - 15 minutes to set and 24 hours to cure, if possible. They provide a video of the installation process and written directions specifically for the phone through their site and make it look much less difficult than it actually is.The Good: Does not seem to interfere with the S-Pen or touch. I can still use the edge, but I don't use it anyway. While you can feel that it's not glass, you don't really notice it unless it's refracting light, then it looks like the screen has a texture. I'm thinking these are the "microbubbles" mentioned in the instructions that should go away after 24 -48 hours. It fits just inside the case, like barely.Problem 1: Getting the screen protector lined up and staying lined up during the application process is painful during the scraping process as it shifts around and starts setting on the screen. Making sure it's lined up after every scrape and stays that way is paramount to the next issue.Problem 2: If you're using a case with this protector, then best of luck. I'm using the Spigen Crystal Hybrid case and the screen protector must be in the dead center of the phone in order for the case not to nudge the protector off the glass. If you mess up, you have to remove the protector and go through all the steps again, being very careful not to get anything on the adhesive side of the screen.Problem 3: Curved Edges. This protector, despite what the video and instructions say, hates curved edges. After spending 30 minutes making sure the edges stay down and putting it back in the case (hurray 3 tries for the protector to be lined up just right to not be touched by the case) I'm still having to push down the edges. Hopefully this will stop peeling up after the full 24 hours it asks for.What Could Be Better: With how much of a pain it is to get this installed just the right way for the case to work, I think it might have been better for them to make the protector as an exact match cover for the screen so that cases would hold the edges down instead of all the work involved in getting it just right so that the case doesn't interfere with the protector by pushing up the edge of it. It would also make it much easier to line up as you're just matching the glass and the edges of the case.I hope this helps anyone looking for a screen protector, since most of the reviews on Amazon were not that helpful with what to expect when installing this. Reviews that say it doesn't work, might be a bit of an over-reaction as it works fine with my case, but It has to be installed just right to work with it.

08/24/2016Update: I had to return the product. I loved the screen protector and it would be perfect for a person who isn't using a case (I use the OtterBox Symmetry case for the Samsung Note 7) or with non-curved screen. I still would recommend this screen protector, just not for this phone. I've decided to go without a screen protector until they develop a better product.08/22/2016I've worked in a cell phone retail store for 2 years while I was in college. I've put on my fair share of screen protectors for many customers. However, I've never put on a wet style protector before. So naturally I was a little apprehensive about installing this screen protector. After watching the installation example video on Skinomi's website, I attempted do it on my own. This was by far the easiest screen protector installation I've ever done and the end result is great. Zero bubbles and clear as day! So you might be wondering why I gave this product 4 stars. Well since I think cell phone insurance is a rip off mathematically/financially speaking and after listening to Clark Howard, I bought myself a good cell phone case. I hate bulky cases, but I wanted something to protect this expensive @$& phone. So I bought myself two cases to try out. One bare minimal TPU skin like case and the Otterbox Symmetry (their thinnest and most minimal yet protective case, I love it). I tried out the bare bones TPU skin case first. After one days use, I started to notice a inch size air bubble at the very top left edge of the screen protector. At first I thought it was the screen protector, so I squeezed out the air bubble. It kept coming back. Then I realized that it was the case that was pushing up the edge of the screen protector. So I switched to the Otterbox, which is the keeper, after smoothing out any air bubbles. At first everything was great. But after five minutes or so, I noticed the same air bubble in the same spot (top left corner). It was much less noticeable and the average person would just ignore it. But I am slightly OCD and want things perfect, especially something I use every day. So I'm hoping after a few days after constant smoothing out the air bubbles, it'll stick. Otherwise the rest of the screen is perfect. I was hoping since this was the "case friendly" version, I wouldn't have this issue. So I'd recommend this screen protector with some caution.

This is an update on my previous comment on this product now that i have the item. This would have been 5 stars if the sides weren't coming off the curved edges. This product was on my previous phone the Galaxy Edge S7 Plus and worked perfect. With this version, the curved edge on the phone goes on well but after a few minutes, the screen protector woyld not stay put. I tried light using a blow dryer to to dry the ends and press on it to stick. I feathered and kept a good distance like a foot to just use warm air like applying tint. Would stick for a few minutes but edges come back up. If they used a stronger bonding type of material then i would think the edges would stay put. Due to the edges being tiny unlike the S7 plus, i don't think this product will stick do to the adhesive. Fits perfect with my spigen case but i would like for them to use a better adhesive. I have added pictures of me removing my case and taking pics, then taking pics after putting my case back on pushing down on the screen protector. I would only recommend to a friend once mines stays put. When i first ordered this i received the first rev of the product. They sent me an email saying there was something wrong with that rev so i got another version shipped. I applied the new version on my phone(s) since i ordered 2 Galaxy Note7. Hopefully they'll fix the problem on the edge, for now I'll keep it on to protect my new phone.
