Phone in question for reference: Galaxy Note 7 from Rogers.

For the trade in do you need anything else like charger/accessories?

It's like putting plastic over your sofa so it stays new for the next person who owns it. My Nexus 5 has been great without a screen protector but it sounds like GG5 is more shatter resistant because it's softer and more flexible, making it easier to scratch than past versions.

You can hardly tell the difference between a glass screen protector and your actual screen.

Have you tried glass? You can hardly tell the difference between a glass screen protector and your actual screen. | I don't think they have ones that can wrap around a curved edged screen though

Even the iPhone 6 had a rounded edge to it and the protectors wouldn't go edge to edge but as I said, it was BARELY noticeable. Try it out. Hit up night market if you want it super cheap and see what it looks like. $10/installed.

Loving mine so far. Battery life not as good as my S7 Edge but we'll see how it goes after a week of usage.

$1050 minus $200 plus tax, minus what you can sell a Note 5 for on CL. Hmm, very tempting...
