Do We Really Still Need Screen Protectors?

Cannyou send a good picture of your note 8 on with that dome protector?

For some reason only 1 picture is attached per reply

Thank you for the great pictures. It looks very nice

One complaint I have is this: on the edges of the glass light is reflected off of the inside of the glass edge. It's what, like 0.3mm thin, but the light still reflects off of that section of the glass. Otherwise no complaints, very happy

Have these gotten any better since they released for the s8 and s8+? I had one on the S8 and after being in the sun for a couple hours, the glue started to release and gum up causing the screen protector to come off. Others were having issues if the phone heated up releasing the glue. There were a ton of complaints about these on xda.

Well a few things I don't see how that wouldn't be a problem with pretty much any screen protector because they're all using some type of glue which usually liquefies at some temperature... Plus of course if you have it in direct sunlight you're putting UV light on it and we already know that this adhesive his activated by UV light so you're over baking it. In addition to that I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to leave your phone screen in direct sunlight anyway because the screen itself can burn and internal components can overheat.

That's why I'd rather rely on insurance I guess.

It just seems so damn complicated to install. I feel like I'd blow the installation for sure.

Well my first one came out perfect... I actually broke the first one so my second one also came out perfect. The one I got for my mom's phone came out perfect. The only one I messed up on was the one for my wife which that was a S8 Plus because that jig isn't built as good as than ones for the note but even that one on the second time came out perfect...
If it's really that daunting hopefully these guys hurry up and release this

Yeah I can see that for the cost of two of these and you could pay a deductible if you have a $100 deductible... But if you think installing these is a hassle usually insurance claims are a much larger hassle imo

I didn't have any issues when I installed on of these before. It actually went on rather well. The problem was a couple days later I was outside for a couple hours and the adhesive began loosening until the protector essentially slid off the phone.

These are probably the best protectors out there, I just got tired of buying them and said screw it. I don't pay the monthly insurance fee or the first repair because of my work so I can have a little less worry if it breaks than others.

People complain that the screen loses sensitivity with this protector, not an issue with Whitestone. I went to their website and they have it for the note 8, with some negative reviews

This protector is brand-new I have seen no reviews at all for this particular one you are talking about the regular one not the es version which is the extra Strong full adhesive version the regular one is just Edge adhesive

This isn't it?
Now I see that it isnt... sorry

 

[TylerLV76]

Nope. That's the regular. The es is full screen.

That's the one I'm waiting for. I don't think I'd have any issues installing the Whitestone but just don't want the possibility of liquid adhesive oozing into places it shouldn't be on my phone. I'm rocking a Skinomi wet applied film on my screen until the Bodyguardz Pure Arc ES is available.

To each their own - good luck

I absolutely need a screen protector, because I'm clumsy and paranoid about my phones. Bad combo! But I definitely see your point about the flow of your fingers on the screen - this is why I use a tempered glass screen protector; so my experience is still smooth.

I HATE installing screen protectors and normally let others put mine on. This was easy peasy to install. Just watch the video a few times and follow the steps.

I used to be a die hard Zagg glass fan up until a couple of years ago. Once the devices started with the curved screen, nothing would adhere to the glass especially when using a case.

I've had the S7 Edge and have been nekkid with it and zero issues with not using one. My Note 8 arrives tomorrow and I'll go nekkid with that too.

How's that nekkid Note 8 working out?

I just put bodyguards glass on mine and my son's Note 8 and they were perfectly

That version is edge adhesive only... Good luck

I decided to go with a Samsung LED View Cover yesterday. In stock at our local BB. Works great, and has some nice NFC features you can control. I've never had a phone in a folding cover before, so it's a little odd getting used to it. But I like that I can still go naked on the screen itself, and have the screen truly protected from any kind of scratches. I do not have to open it to take calls, so no face smugs on the screen.

Time will tell if it's "the answer" for me.
