I like bestskinsever.com it's a wet solution type. Had it on my note7. Was great. Not glass of course but fit screen well and was case friendly. Just waiting for them to have it available.
 
I have hopes for Whitestone Dome Glass if/when they make it. It did quite well for s8+, though it is quite expencive.

Until then, I will get by with whatever they stick to the screen in factory and then try to change for a wet install film screen protector. Unless things changed a lot, I don't expect tempered glass screen protectors to be much good in the beginning.
 
I will stay with the Samsung protector, it worked great on note 7 and was just fine with s pen and various cases, and Samsung's own protector on S7 edge has no issues and good fit.

I have the Official Samsung screen protector for my S7E, and it's not bad. The edges and corners didn't quite stay, but it seems the be the best case friendly option for the Unicorn Beetle Pro case I use. All the vinyl ones get squished and start to peel really bad. Although the Armor one I got from Amazon was really good with my Speigen Clear case.

I too am going to see if I can get a Whitestone screen protector, as they seem to be the better overall option for both the Unicorn Beetle Pro cases and other cases. But I guess we'll have to wait and see how the case options are for the Note8.

Second to the screen, I'm concerned for the vulnerability of the corner where the S-Pen is. Otterbox cases are really pricey and seem to be a little too bulky for my liking. These Unicorn Beetle Cases are nice, and I never used them until I got the Note7, and then the S7E.
 
Not going to order anything yet and wait until the note 8 comes out. If everything goes alright I will probably go with Spigen
 
I love Spigen accessories, they always make quality stuff

Ebay has Note 8 cases and screen protectors already and ready to ship. I have 3 on my watch list so I need to make a choice today and go ahead and order. I just hate ordering this soon and I hope I don't change my mind, because these items will be hard to return on eBay a month down the road.
 
I purchased a tempered glass for the Note 8 on Amazon. As you can see by the pictures, the glass barely has any curve to it on the edges, unlike the Note 7 glass protectors. (the picture on the right is of the edge of the protector) Strangely, the label indicates "Protection of God" on it!

Does the entire screen have the adhesive or just the edges?
 
After moving to the S7E after the N7 fiasco, I tried several types of tempered glass for the Edge. None would stay on the edges so I have been going without anything for almost a year and I have to say I pretty impressed. So far, so good and zero issues on the screen. I'll probably continue this route with the N8 because I doubt anything will adhere to the edges and allow a case to be used.

Fwiw, I found a way to keep a tempered glass screen protector on the n7. I was planning on doing the same thing with the n8. But I'm guessing it won't be a problem as the screen protector is pretty flat. I didn't use a protector with the s7e that I have now, and it's the only phone I've ever had where I had a cracked screen.
 
Bad news - the protector I have only has adhesive on the edges - and the edges are VERY thin - much thinner than the edges on the N7 glass protectors. Not sure there's any way to keep it on.

Thanks for the update! I hope Whitestone has one quickly after launch. Along with the Unicorn Beetle cases. I really liked them on the Note7 and now on my S7E.
