It would be strange if you didn't get it . And the A5 2016 has been already updated to Nougat as well. This gonna be the last major update i think.... Unfortunately!

The curved glass is little bit issue when it comes to applying a tempered glass. Even I am facing it in my J7 Prime in which the tempered glass is little bigger and the sides are full of dust. Also my fathers's A5 tempered glass is little small and the sides are open, so I use a magnetic flip cover which saves the screen.

                  Anyway Come to the point. I have seen few "360 cover" for A5, J7 Prime etc on Amazon. They comes in 3 parts which can be assembled e.g. a tempered glass, a front panel and a back panel. So basically this "360 cover" covers the whole device. I have notice this cover in few users in my neighbourhood and I myself will order one in next few days.

                  So, I will advice you to try this cover. I know it covers the whole device and hides the beauty of the device. But personally my safety of device is more important than the showing beauty. So, you can try one from Amazon or any online shop in your area. Regards.

There are 1mm less on width left and right and it is very annoying. And the screen is not even curved. Just the glass .

                      I buy flip covers and temered glasses from online shop such as Amazon and normally spend about 10% money of the price of the device. Amazon has lots of choices there and you can buy anything which you like. Few days back I noticed a crack on my On7 Pro (it reminds me of old Note devices) and I was shocked for few seconds. Than I realized that it was just the tempered glass, so I removed it and got a new piece.

                      Anyway no mater what brand you use, still you should use a flip cover or temepered glass. I am not recommending any Samsung accessories here. Regards.

I guess that's the point. To buy flip cases from shamesung or screen replacements. And s3 mini doesn't have gorrila glass. This one has 4th generation. Also does clear view cover from samsung is any good? I want to be transparent

My devices has been fallen from my hand a few times and they survived due to the flip covers. As for the tempered glass, it not only saves the screen from damages, but also keeps the excess sweat in hkt days from ears. Overall I advice strongly use a good quality flip cover and tempered glass with your touchscreen device. Regards.

                                  I dropped it recently on hone (a bit harder than concrete) and it landed on the back.
                                  30cm drop. A minor crack in the middle. F*ck glass backs. Use a tempered glass screen protector on front and on back. It scratches and cracks very very easily. I can't believe it... Metal was way way way better on a5 2015. I miss it. And ALSO the aluminium frame has a lot of scuffs after this drop. Seriosly 30cm drop is that brutal????
