IQShield Matte Screen Protector Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Anti-Glare Anti-Bubble TPU Film

I read a few of the reviews for this screen protector, and normally hate the kind that use any kind of spray. However, because the S7 Edge has toast curved edges, I'd read a while back that the typical adhesive PET film that most of us are used to, wasn't likely to stick to the curves.I didn't realize before receiving it, but the kind of plastic that is used for this product, by IQ Shield, is best described as a thicker, yet easier-to-handle version of Saran wrap you'd use in the kitchen. If course, that type of sticky plastic has no problem adhering to glass and glass-like surfaces. So, as soon as I took my IQ Shield out of its packaging (which is VERY nice, by the way), I had a feeling that it would work well.Installation was incredibly quick and simple; it took me about 4 minutes in total. The directions were very easy, but to make sure I was absolutely applying it correctly, I watched about 30 seconds of a Youtube video.The spray that's included in the package, is NOT actually an adhesive of any kind, and this is mentioned on the instruction sheet. Its only purpose is to help you get the Shield perfectly aligned with your phone's screen. Otherwise, if you decide to not use it, which you can totally choose to skip it, you'll pretty much have one chance to apply the Shield correctly, or risk having to peel it off and try again. This plastic does stretch and warp slightly, so multiple installations may make it so that it doesn't quite fit your screen after a while. For that reason, I highly recommend using that spray because the liquid allows you to slide the Shield into place, rather than removing it from your phone completely to adjust it.The thick rubber squeegee that comes with the IQ Shield, is very impressive and a major upgrade from the usual hard cardboard type that you get with the other type of plastic screen protectors. That's mainly because of the difference between the two plastics. A cardboard squeegee would likely leave scratches on the Shield. The rubber one that it comes with, does not, and does an excellent job at pushing out air bubbles and excess liquid. That said, it's not immediately obvious that you're NOT supposed to lay the Shield's edges down on your phone BEFORE pushing out the air bubbles and liquid with the squeegee. But yes, you absolutely need to do that first, because once the edges are adhered, the bubbles and liquid are then trapped. That is also another reason to use the spray that's included, which I should note, is mostly plain old water, not an adhesive fluid. It's MUCH harder to get out air bubbles without it. I installed my Shield with the spray, then used the squeegee before laying down the edges, and eliminated air bubbles 100%.The next step, which is also mentioned in your instruction sheet, is to use a hair dryer to evaporate the excess liquid as you're pressing down gently to get the edges to stick to the edges of your phone's screen. This is VERY IMPORTANT.Now, I know that not everyone has access to a hair dryer, but those of you that do, do not decide to skip using yours when installing the Shield. No, the heat does not activate some sort of adhesive (in fact, the Shield doesn't rely on a chemical adhesive at all). What the heat DOES do is mold the plastic to your phone for a custom fit. In other words, it's very gently melting the plastic and making it softer and more pliable in the process. To avoid damage to your phone and Shield, use your dryer in the lowest heat setting. The liquid evaporates in roughly 1 minute depending on how much you've used. (Two or three sprays is enough; you don't need to saturate the Shield. You only need enough to cover the side that sticks to your screen.) Press down on the edges of the Shield as you're applying heat, for about 3 minutes, or until the Shield sticks to your phone without peeling. That's it. Mine came out perfectly on my first attempt. If you follow these instructions, it's seriously impossible to screw it up. Make sure your screen is free of dirt, fingerprints, dust, oils, or any debris before starting installation, and if your use a case for your phone, don't put it back on for at least one hour after applying your Shield, as it may cause it to peel at the edges. You want to give your Shield time to stick without inference, to minimize the chance of peeling.I've had my Shield on my S7 Edge for 3 days now WITH a case, and it has not lifted a single time. That thing is really on there! It's crystal clear and does not interfere with the sensitivity of my touch-screen.I will absolutely purchase this product again.

Update:Ok so it's been a month. This protector is just like it was the very first day I applied it. I've had one corner pop up but reseals immediately upon applying pressure. I think it's more to do with me pulling my phone in and out of my pocket all day long. I use my phone all day, every day for work. It has not warped, scratched, ripped, nothing. It has stayed adhered to the sides of the curved screen beautifully. For how cheap this one is (I haven't even needed to use the 2nd cover provided) I cannot recommend it enough. I don't know how people are having trouble with the edges staying down. I just sat in a steamy bathroom and pushed down on it. I did use a good amount of the liquid spray so maybe people aren't using enough? In fact I would actually lick the sides of the screen and then push down if I couldn't get it to adhere right away. I'd then hold it for a couple minutes, then move on. I have tried many many many different protectors - PhantomSkinz: I loved the look but they didn't last (that being said it did protect my rear glass when I had to have my screen replaced. The guy actually said he cracked it but it wasn't the back glass it was the protective film so it did it's job there), Glass Protector w/ the liquid glue: Looked AMAZING, the glue wore off in 3 weeks. Various bestbuy available protectors, they all looked like crap after applying.Try this product! Take your time, use a steamy bathroom and make sure you use enough liquid and you'll be pleased as punch!Original Review:So I initially had a knock-off Dome Glass protector which used the glue to adhere. It was great for about 2 months. Then the glue stopped adhering. Then I replaced my case and in doing so it pulled the whole glass off. I really didn't want to spend 50 dollars on the WhiteStone Dome glass. I had tried Phantom Skinz before and liked the way they worked but I could never get the sides on their application to stick. This version of the wet skin was easy to apply, dried quickly, sides stuck down easily enough and it works, looks, and feels great. I don't have to keep my thumb held down for 10 seconds to recognize like I did with the glass. I'll have to see how it holds up, of course but for 9 dollars it's really worth a try. I'm guessing people who didn't like it didn't use enough liquid when applying. It's really hard to use too much. I am also assuming that they then tried to shift the protector to line up the front camera hole and the little liquid they used caused the adhesive to smear which is causing the weird coloring or image distortion they are reporting. Overall I'd say give it a shot, so far I am very pleased.

I have always found screen protectors "hard" to put on because with most of them, you only get one-shot to get it on perfectly, plus it's so easy to get bubbles or fingerprints underneath when you try and align it.Also - I have a Galaxy S10+ and the screen is curved and most protectors don't follow the curve.This product is different! After watching the video and reading the brochure, the manufacturer tells you "not to worry" if you see small bubbles or rainbow colours after instralling. They say that the bubbles will go away within a day or so.Well, I thought I had put mine on perfectly but after a few minutes, I noticed 3 small air bubbles underneath!So I trusted them and let it dry, and sure enough, after leaving it on my charger overnight, ALL the bubbles were gone. It looks perfect and the surface is very smooth and the touch screen works too.They give you 2 of the protectors in the box, and they have a lifetime warranty.So I am very happy with this. I finally found a screen protector that works and will also mould to the curved screen of my phone.

When I began the process of putting on the IQ Shield I was about to write an 'outraged of' review - it seemed to be a total mess that was never, ever going to come together and work. But how wrong I was ...I need to explain first I am Mrs-Pinnickity-of-Pinnickityville - all my kit has to be absolutely perfect. I've handed in for recycling phones, Macs, etc, that engineers have joked have never been used. I'm *so* picky I even get my tempered mobile screens put on in the shop by the 'Pros' as I cannot stand for there to be a single thing wrong with them. So, the thought of fitting this myself filled me with dread.I read the documents and followed everything they said (including spraying my own fingers). I placed the shield on my watch and the first thing I thought was it's miles too big - all those edges are not going to fold down around the edge of the screen without all kinds of horrors. It all felt like a disaster reminiscent of me, Blue Peter, and sticky-back plastic! I left the shield flat on the watch screen and jumped onto YouTube. Following the 'palming' technique gradually all the edges folded down and - low/behold - it became completely invisible on the watch screen, as per my image. Absolutely stunned!It's not dried overnight yet as IQ Shield recommended, but providing none of the corners lift during the drying I will be very happy indeed. My strongest recommendation is to watch the YouTube video first, read and follow all the instructions provided with the pack, be patient to let it dry for the recommended time and you should be good to go. And you too should be a very happy Mr/Mrs Pinnickity!

Es mi primer protector de pantalla líquido y parece de excelente calidad. El servicio a cliente responde muy rápido e incluyó una garantía de por vida, veremos que tal funciona a largo plazo.Para la instalación ve el video con detenimiento (tienen link en youtube), como tip adicional, cada 5 min aplica presión en las orillas curvas para que se pegue con mayor detalle, solo durante los primeros 10-15min. El curado es de 12 a 24 horas, el mío tardo 20 horas en sentirse muy bien, lo hice durante la noche para no tocar el equipo mientas curaba, en las primeras 12 horas aún se sentía con un mal tacto y tenía burbujas, después de las 20 parecía que ya no tenía el protector y el tacto estaba perfecto junto con la sensibilidad del sensor. Recomiendo que la funda se coloque después del curado para no despegar las orillas.Al momento todo perfecto, ya tiene algunos golpes de presión y rasguños, pero ya casi desaparecieron por completo. Es un producto muy recomendable y de ser necesario actualizaré el review más adelante.

Muy buenas micas, de gran calidad y fácil de instalar

Not bad at all.
