Seeking non-case friendly screen protector

[anon(9918034)]

This is my first post via iMore, very active user over at android central.

I am searching for a screen protecter that literally goes from edge to edge. I am planing on getting a nice full wrap dbrand skin for this phone. I want a screen protector that goes all the way to the metal frame. Preferable a tempered glass protector.

I am just tired of always adding to the phone by slapping a case on it. This phone is my favorite size phone and feel so damn good in the hand but at a price tag of 1000 I do want some protection from drops because they do happen.

A dbrand skin won’t offer you the protection you’re seeking, though.

You'll need one like the Tozo on this page:

It'll have a black edge around it which should match the black edges of the phone. There are others like the Spigen and iCarez that people seem to like:

One that I wouldn't suggest is the Sonix Seamless.

It was 45.00 when I bought it and didn't come with the installation tray. I dropped my phone sitting in a chair (my fault I know), and it cracked both the protector and the screen. I've never had a screen crack when I dropped a phone with a glass protector on before.

I'm not a fan of screen protectors for drops. They don't help much without a decent protective case. A skin is not much protection. I use an Otterbox case with no screen protector. I've dropped it on a concrete slab floor face down, and not a scratch.

Take a look at the Peel screen shield. It’s edge to edge and tempered glass.

A little off topic, but I use a screen protector (the skin kind, as they tend to be thinner and adhere better, and work better with the cases that I use, in my experience) not for protection from shattering, but to hold the glass together so that it will remain usable (without having me cut my fingers) in case I do drop the phone and it shatters, until I can get it repaired. This is especially important these days as there is at least a 4-5 day wait for Genius Bar appointments at all of the drivable Apple Stores near me. I do agree with you that they are probably less protective than a lot of them advertise.

Check out RhinoShield https://rhinoshield.io/ I am using their E2E X screen protector and no issues.
