Galaxy Note 8 Tempered glass screen protector

[anon(5630457)]

Anyone ever have dirt get in between the screen protector and the display?

Always, especially inside the edges.

Let's face it: curved displays are worthless to try to protect with a screen protector.

I've never had a glass screen protector but while looking for one, I read quite a few review of this happening so I stopped looking.

You might want to look into the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protectors. They seem to be a really good one that's flying under the radar. It's a little pricey, but the coverage and application are better than most available, as well as it seems to be comparable with a good number of cases. Good luck!

The Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector looks amazing - they use a UV adhesive for the entire surface and a UV light to bond it. The S8+ screen protector cost $45 on Amazon. Here's an installation video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCqwSRAiS4s - it's a complex process, but it appears to be the only protector with full-adhesive. It doesn't appear they have a Note 8 protector yet, though.

For those going naked, Verizon told me that WITH FULL INSURANCE, a cracked screen on the Note 8 will cost $299 to repair/replace. A good tempered glass protector may not be perfect, but it's an inexpensive way to provide just a little more protection.

Yeah, I know! I am hoping that it will be available shortly after launch.

Samsung premium care has a $99 deductible. No loss or theft coverage though

The rep I spoke to indicated that all 3 plans had the same $299 deductible for the Note 8 - they may have been wrong, so I'll check again.

I switched to wallet style flip cases a while back and ditched the screen protectors. I could never find one that worked really well on the curved Samsung displays. Plan on doing the same with my Note.

I have started to think about the accessories that I should get for the Galaxy Note 8 Tempered and one of the major things that I need to decide about is the screen protector.

Are you planning to get a Tempered glass screen protector for your note 8? I have tried to use one of those on some of my previous smartphones and I almost always had trouble installing them,

for now I'll be going with this one:
Amazon.com: amFilm Dot Matrix 3D Curved Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

What screen protector are you going to use?

Zagg is the way to go. Usually cheaper on Amazon than in store and replacements will prob be $10 for the life of the phone.

Otterbox Defender and Zagg HD...

Samsung premium care is through Samsung, not Verizon.

Do you know when Zagg will be available?

Let's face it: curved displays are worthless to try to protect with a screen protector.

The zagg one for s8+ looks to have a tiny bit if adhesive along the edges. Keeps dirt out. I'm more worried about impact protection than scratches. Most cases for these curved glass phones don't protect enough from a face down impact.

I came to the same conclusion

Dry install on Note 7 - peeled on the Edges immediately
Wet install on s7 Edge held on for 7 or 8 months..but was plastic and felt like plastic and there were tons of tiny dots that I could see when wearing my VR

Leather wallet case then Samsung LED case on my s8 - way better. Im leaning towards getting a case this time that has a holster and no screen protection and a Lifeproof style just for giggles

Zagg has the HD up for preorder no3. Says it will ship between 31 August and 7 September.

I havn't used a screen protector since Samsung went curved. I've tried many but none of the tempered or film worked well for me. So far so good.

 

[Gray Area]

That's me from now till release date! I love the forums this time of year... Note time that is

Ditto!

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!
