Short answer
Buy Flip7-specific FlexWindow glass with lens cut-outs. The Flip8 has the same cover screen size, but only use its glass if the maker lists both. Flip7 FE glass doesn't fit. Leave Samsung's inner screen film in place.

Fitting FlexWindow glass
- Close the phone and lay it on a flat, clean surface, cover screen up.
- Clean around the camera rings carefully; dust collects in the gap between lens and screen.
- Use the fitting frame, lining up the cut-outs with the lenses before peeling the backing.
- Press out from the centre, then around each lens cut-out.
Check a test photo afterwards. If there's haze or flare, the protector edge is sitting over a lens and needs realigning.
Inner screen
Keep the film Samsung fitted at the factory. If it wears near the crease, Samsung service can replace it.

Questions people ask
Will Galaxy Z Flip8 screen protectors fit the Flip7?
Both have 4.1-inch cover screens, but camera cut-outs decide fit. Only rely on it if the maker lists both.
Why are my Flip7 photos hazy after fitting a cover protector?
The protector is probably overlapping a lens. Lift and realign it using the fitting frame.
