I'm thinking about having my phone naked....... well, sort of. What I mean is, I was thinking of adding the SGP Glas for the front. So now the front will be protected. Then I would have a bumper protecting the sides of the phone. For the back I would have an invisible shield, Even if I do happen to drop it I can easily buy the back panel since its cheap. Do you think this would be a smart way of having my phone feel naked and having great having protection?
I just love the naked slim body of the phone. I do have a diztronic case even though the case has very little bulk, its still does not the feel the same.
Looking for some advise
What I would buy to do this is...

You don't need to protect the screen at all, gorilla glass is much stronger than your flimsy plastic sheets you put on it. If something can scratch gorilla glass, that "screen protector" will not stop it at all. A weaker object can't protect a stronger object.
What you need to protect is the phone's back. I use my phones naked always. I've never had much problem. However with SGS3, my phone's back is covered with scratches. I don't remeber having any other phone with a backplate this vulnerable.

Nah Gorilla glass can be scratched.
I'm sure if I did this to gorilla glass without a screen protector.... it would be destroyed.

I'm also using SGP glas on my S3, but I use with Samsung's slim case. This thing add literally no thickness at all! And it protects back and the camera. I thought about using SGP ultra bumper case but I'm worried about camera lens since it doesn't provide any kind of protection around.

It's the closet you can to naked feeling! I love it, they come in breeze & diamond pattern. I personally like the diamond, it gives me more grip. Definitely give it a try!

Does using a screen protector take away the essence of the S3's beautiful screen? I am very careful about keeping my phone away from coins, keys, etc. and am confident about not getting the screen scratched; my only concern is the finger oil marks that are left on the screen.
Will a screen protector resolve this issue?
I am confused.
Why not using a pouch like this one? http://mobil.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3276708_-slimcase-leather-xl-bugatti.html
Using a similar case since I have my s3 (bought it at launch) and haven't got a single scratch yet and still have the pure device when I interact with it.

because if I dropped it when its out of the punch im screwed.
Be careful with samsung ultra slim in 0.3mm
I got them ( there are 2 differents in package) and both suffer hot temperatures! I have no photo atm but i can clearly say that they deform themeselves if exposed at some high temperature(for example when you play game or any sort of thing that increase battery temperature)
they are curved now and dont fit well..
So i gone with the tpu ,always samsung offcial, and all is awesome (but you lose the naked but protected feel xD)
When i read naked i thought you meant to take the motherboard out and put it in a transparent case/shell to show the insides....
Why not try a Zagg invisible shield. I'vehad one on my SGS since the beginning and also on my GTab. It'll be the first thing I get on my next mobile upgrade. You can get maximum protection (front, back, sides) or just front protection.

it wouldnt
there are plenty of videos of people scraping keys,knives, and other sharp objects across the screen with no effect, even sandpaper which resulted in very faint scratches
my phone has flip case... and the screen's scratched to ****. If gorilla glass is scratchproof then i'm the king of mars
So then, is a screen protector absolutely essential? I'd rather have the screen naked, then use a screen protector.
I have, however, got a pretty nice body for the phone that covers and protects the back well.

I'll get this screen protector for my new xiaomi mi3, so thank for your review, you helped me to made my choice
This looks amazing!
I found one on eBay for 12€.. I might buy it.
Is there any downside from using this screen protector?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your amazing review!
No real downside other than you really have to do your best to apply it perfectly the first time. Very difficult to remove and reapply without getting it dirty.
Love how it feels, so smooth. I wish I got it sooner, before the Sony screen protector started getting scratches. Never using a film protector ever again.
My C6906 came with a nilkin glass screen protector when I bought it off of swappa, and using the way I typically apply screen protectors, using tape like a hinge to perfectly position the protector with, application took less than a minute. My only complaint is that the glass is not oleophobic, or at least isn't as oleophobic as I would like, although it doesn't get fingerprints all that easily, and a few wipes on your jeans should take care of it just fine.
i bought this screen protector for CNY 58 (about USD 9.5). Much better than any PET films I have seen.

Only downside is that come with with a PET back protector and I found the anti-fingerprint coating wore off faster than most, it's also is a bit small and doesn't cover the whole front wish it was more precise fitting.
If you apply this screen protector the Z1 will do not fit on your dock DK31.

I have this Nillkin SP and it's the best SP I ever had, on all devices.
Perfectly slik and ultra durable...
I have it few months and not a one scratch.
But...
I bought front and back and I'm kinda disappointed because only front is real tempered glass, back one is just a plain SP...
It would be awesome to have back tempered glass as well.
And yeah...I applied it on top of Sony SP (had few little scratches on it) and it's perfect - can't see a single old scratch...

I have been using Nillkin for a while now and have never experiences such problem. My first protector cracked after I dropped the phone face down on my desk. Now I am on my second one and it functions properly. Maybe you didn't align yours properly or you had a faulty unit.

Hi there.. I was considering buying the Nillkin glass, and I was wondering if you noticed any scuff marks or scratches on glass surface while using the DK31 magentic charger? (assuming you use one).

I am planning on using a case with the Note 7 when I get it, but all this speculations that Tempered Glass protectors aren't case friendly makes me think. I don't know which Film Screen protector to go with the Note 7 since I am not familiar with edge to edge protection for this curved screen device. I saw these, but don't know how good they are.

I love tempered glass protectors. Don't use cases on my phones though. Find them kinda useless. Might make an exception for this cause the back is now glass too. Waiting for Tempered glass protector for the back and front. Why make the phone more bulky.
I just ordered a tempered glass screen protector from XtremeGuard (Spartan tempered glass). It's $1.50 (90% off site-wide) with coupon code OLYMPIC90
I think people have been mentioning Skinomi.

I did that as well, got three of them. The email I got said it was "Case Friendly". For $1.50 each I figured what the heck, if it is not great I wasted $4.50.

It appears that is not an edge to edge or curved type. Which explains a lot. I'm searching for something curved.
I've always preferred glass in combination with a case but I've heard from people with the S7 Edge that it is tricky with the curved screen. Hoping it won't be as bad for the Note 7 as it's not as curved.
Anybody got any experience with S7 Edge in combination with a glass protector and case and maybe suggestions?
Here's an article from phonearena that might be helpful as well. I haven't order one yet, hoping for some more tips but will let you guys know when I have + experiences!
None for me, prefer naked with this beauty!

Then don't get a bulky case...
I prefer the TPU minimalist ones that will save my corners and back glass but that's about it. I ordered a VSR case for this phone but usually go with Cruzerlite. Barely adds any thickness and improves grip.

You sir live a dangerous life. I could never run around with a naked phone. Even my BB Bolds had a screen protector and TPU case haha
Haha, well I might have a case for special occasions!
A lot of people want premium materials alu glass carbon whatever,and then they cover it with plastic cases ,tpu and all these things..
I am happy to say that I haven't had a screen protector on my last 2 galaxy phones. No scratches or cracks but I do have a thin case.

I think sand and similar particles will scratch gorilla glass. If sand or similar particles get behind the case on a glass backed phone it can likely get scratches. I also agree that the curved glass screens mean any tempered screen protector is pretty much out. That sucks, because tempered protectors prevent about 95% of breaks and they hold up much better than plastic protectors which get scratched easily. I have been making my own clear plastic screen protectors by using a tempered protector I had that fit over the flat part of the display (but wouldn't stay down on the edges even still which is why I took it off) as a template to make a screen protector out of dollar store tablet screen protectors. That is not a permanent solution and once I get my replacement N7 set up I am going to be using the galaxy tab7 plastic skin protector and wrap it around the phone all the way to the back. This has already been done as DIY screen protector by another member here and looks like the best option right now. I will not be going naked as one of my businesses is contracting/construction (the other retail) and my phone will be in a tool pouch so I need to have some kind of screen protector on when working like this.
yes, sand particles between the case and the back,will surely make scratches, no doubt about
Can anyone recommend a tempered glass or other quality screen protector for the outer cover display? Something that you've personally used and can vouch for.
Thanks in advance!

Looks like it might have trouble fitting properly if used with a case. The black border looks problematic. Have you used it with a case and, if so, do you have any pics or comments on that? Thanks.
I'm trying to figure out the best front screen protector as well. I would prefer tempered glass but have only seen a couple and not in stock at the moment. Still have the stock one on it but it's starting to bubble and peel/Crack on the sides.
I'm using these white stone dome front tempered glass screen protector. I got two of them for $10. They work decent with a case. But make sure it is a minimalistic case like the Samsung carbon fiber.

I am currently using samsungs silicone case and there is no problems with it coming off. Have not tried with a heavy duty case but I honestly don't see it as a problem
I got my leather case (samsung one) today and love it. However as soon as i applied it the cover screen plastic protector came off in the edge so i just removed it.
since it seems pretty thick on the inside - is there any 9h glass available yet which fits with the case? Or can i go to a samsung store and they reapply the plastic one on the cover screen?
i dont mind paying
I'm using the Whitestone glass screen protector. NOT the EZ. I've used it on all my phones since it was first released, including I Note devices and the Z Fold 2.
I use this for Extra protection

I'm using the Ringke Slim and I really like it. I ordered the Spigen S Pen case, but it won't ship for another week or so. Looks bigger than I'd like, but definitely need something I can switch to when I really need to carry the S Pen and don't want to have it loose in a pocket.
I also ordered the official Samsung Aramid case (which also won't arrive for another week or two). Based on the reports I've read and the pics I've seen, the Aramid appears to be the slimmest case available for the ZF3. I hate bulky cases, especially on a device that's as large as the ZF3, so I'm guessing I'll probably settle on the Aramid for 90% of my daily use.

Great case. No scratches. Not sure how anyone scratched their Fold with this case. You'd have to be pretty damn careless to do that. I used the adhesive strips.
