The Problem Isn't with the Glass Protectors!
Okay, this might get a little long, but bear with me... Try to find a glass screen protector for these curved-screen phones like the S7 (yes, even the non-Edge models have a curve at the edges) and you can't do it. Why? Because it's difficult to get a rigid protector to sit well on a curved surface. The problem isn't so much with the screen protectors, then, as it is with the phone designs.Still, we all want (and need) to have our screens protected, so what do we do?Our options are to go back to the film-type protectors. I just recently tried that and hated it. Just like every one I used in the past, it looked great for a few weeks, and then some of the edges started to peel up and get dirt under them. That, of course, made the problem worse. Yes, it's partially my fault since I want a pristine-looking screen, but I couldn't take it anymore and went back to one of these glass ones.I had taken my Otterbox Symmetry case off and installed the new ICHECKEY, screen protector. The sensitivity was horrible, so I very carefully lifted an edge and, without actually removing it completely, even more carefully realigned the protector on the phone. Eureka, it worked! Sensitivity was back to normal. It looked great and worked great, and all was well.Then, I put my Otterbox case back on the phone. The next time I tried to send a text, the sensitivity was gone again. What the Bleep?Long story short, what I've come to realize is these glass protectors like the ICHECKEY do not stick to the entire phone surface. They have a bit of sticky material at the top and bottom, and the rest of the protector just sits on the phone screen. That isn't a big problem until you install a case like mine, which has a edge that starts almost exactly at the outside edge of the screen protector. The result is the edge of the case puts pressure directly on the outside edge of the screen protector, lifting it slightly off the surface of the phone. No matter how much I ran my thumbnail under the edge of the case to try to get it to rest over the screen protector, there just wasn't enough material to do so. If the case material just had another 1/8th inch of material, it would actually help hold the screen protector down and would be awesome, but, unfortunately, that isn't the reality.So there I was back to square one. I either had to give up the case or give up the screen protector. Neither option seemed acceptable.Then, I had an inspiration. Since I had an extra Symmetry case on hand, I wondered if trimming some of the edge material would remove the pressure problem. Actually, I knew it would solve that issue, but the question remained whether it would cause an issue with the case staying on the phone.Using a super-sharp Exacto knife, I trimmed about a 1/16th-inch of material all the way around the edge of the case. My trimming wasn't perfectly even, but I'm super happy to report the screen protector now functions flawlessly, and the phone case still stays snugly in place.You would think by now with the epidemic of screen protector problems we're all experiencing that the phone manufacturers would make flat screens again... or maybe the case manufacturers could add just a tiny bit, or remove a tiny bit, of edge material to solve the problem ... but don't hold your breath.The bottom line is this. If you're having trouble with your ICHECKEY (and likely any of the dozens of other glass S7 screen protectors), first make sure it is perfectly aligned with your phone screen. Next, if you're using a case like my Otterbox Symmetry, check to see if the front of the case edge is pushing against the edge of your screen protector. If so, trim just a little of the material to give the protector some room (see my pictures for location of the material I'm talking about).I've been using this for about three weeks now with no issues. The only potential problem I see is that by trimming the case material, there is now an open groove around screen between the protector edge and the case edge (which is what the trimming was meant to do). It is possible dirt will accumulate in that groove. If you work in a dirty environment, you're probably better off going with an all-inclusive case like the Defender anyway. It hasn't been an issue for me, but it could bear keeping an eye on it.I hope this helps someone.

Holds up well to abuse!
High quality screen protector that holds up well to the extreme abuse I put my phone through everyday. Even held up to several drops without cracking. When it finally did crack, it still functioned well for several more weeks until it was time to replace it anyway from multiple scratches that it received.After removing the screen protector(which was cracked in 3 places with a large crack running across the entire middle) my phone screen was completely unscathed! It looked as good as new!I quickly placed the second screen protector on my phone to protect it before I did anything else.

Never going back!
I'm not sure why, but I've always avoided tempered glass in the past and used the film screen protecters instead. I could no longer purchase my go-to film ones, so I tried another brand and was very unhappy with it.So I decided to give these tempered glass screen protectors instead and I am so glad I did. Installing these is SO much easier than the full adhesive film protectors. Using little effort whatsoever I was able to obtain a completely bubble-free screen. The touchscreen works find too and the tempered glass has zero effect on the touch sensitivity. I will definitely buy these again if the need arises!

Junk Don't waste your time or money...Go elsewhere
I purchased two, and I was very happy with the way it went on my and my gf's phone, but I had to remove both of them almost immediately and purchase something completely different. Couldn't use it as that it created like a floating air pocket that wouldn't allow connection between my finger and the screen. And there was not enough adhesive to secure the screen all the way around the phone anyhow. I had to remove both from our phones within an hour of putting them on. Useless junk. Don't waste your money.

UPDATED REVIEW below origional review
After giving this temper Glass screen protector some test time, I've come up with a few pros and cons for this product.Pros:1.) It actually covers the screen2.) It's very easy to install3.) If you mess up for any reason, there is a second one4.) It comes with more than you might need. Example: The placement stickers and the squeegie5.) It looks nice and blends well with the Galaxy S76.) Customer service is great. They actually reach out to me and asked me if I recieved my product.Cons:1.) There is screen sensativity issues with Otterbox and Speck phone cases, forcing you to take your case off to simply text, or scroll up or down.2.) If you have a phone case that's not broken in on your S7, with this ICHECHECKY Tempered Glass screen ptotector, your screen protector will come up, cuasing dirt, and dust, to form underneath it.Final Thoughts:For me, the biggest issue was not being able to use the brand new Otter box Commuter series I purchased with this. I love the color of the Mauve Way on my Black Glaxay S7. However I can't use it without screen sensativity issues. For me, that's an issue because I like my phone protected as much as my screen. If I only have a tempered glass protector on, that only takes care of a fraction of protecting my phone. I need to be able to used my cases with my screen proctector, with very little to no issues.Because my Pro list outweighed the Con list, I would have to say I'm content with this ICHECKY Temper Glass Screen Protecotor- [Color:Black]. Customer service seems to genuately care about feeback and improving products funtions and features.I'll post an update within a few months. Hopefully the sensativity tones down a bit, or completely.As always, I hope this helps many Amazon customersUPDATED REVIEW 9-25-19After giving this product over a month, to be frank, I would not recommend this screen protector to anyone. As I listed in the Cons, the screen sensativity was an issue. Adventually it became an issue that rendered my touch screen unusable. I had to aggressively press on my screen to even open an app. Another con I mention was the dirt and dust build up underneath the screen protector. If you look closely at the pictures I took below, you'll see all the crud crusted around the edges of the screen protector which is is when the edhesive is. **If you have an Otterbox, Speck or any case with a lip that will have contact with the perimeter of this screen protector, it will lift up, causing dirt and dust to build up. If you want to buy this screen protector, be cafeful of what cases you buy for your Galaxy S7. While I still have the second screen protector, I'm not sure if I'll use it because of my experiance with the first one. It's rather disappointing.

Hat keine abrundung an den Seiten
Es sind direkt Fusseln unter die Folie gekommen nach dem Aufkleben. Ich komme ohne die Folie anzuheben mit meinen Fingernägeln unter die Folie. Folie hat nach einem Tag gebrauch einen Sprung auf der rechten Seite, weil sie nach oben absteht. mit etwas mehr Druck als gewöhnlich bricht einfach die Glasfolie.Will mein Geld zurück. Richtiger Schmutz.Verstehe auch nicht was der Begriff "Edge" in dem Namen zu suchen hat. Es ist nicht für die Edge version und Abrundungen für das normale S7 Display sind auch nicht vorhanden. Die Verpackung war viel zu übertrieben, dafür dass ich die Folie auspacke und die Verpackung weg werfe.Man zahlt hier also eher für die Verpackung als für die Qualität.
