so have you put a screen protector on it yet?

[jeffmd]

Xtremeguard has their polyurethane skins on eBay for 2 bucks now, just ordered 2. Until it comes I cut my own. Looks a little like crap but will work until the good ones arrive. The case friendly non curved glass I got didn't account for the slight curve of the center of the screen and failed miserably. Got a refund in a couple hours when they saw the pictures though.

I am not going glass ... too case unfriendly. I'm thinking the regular Zagg but don't want to spend the money just for it to look like crap in a week. Plus, no case for a few days while it dries. Ugh. Decisions.

This article should help make up your mind.

I ordered the Neo Flex by Spigen ...When I get the phone today I'll let you know if it's a good one.

I put neo flex by spigen and its great so far

 

[speed13]

I applied the Spigen NeoFlex last night as a temporary holdover until I can get one from Bodyguardz however, I am not entirely sure what to do. I also have the Spigen Tough Armor case and from what I can tell, the edge of the NeoFlex and the edge of the case is really close so if there was any protector that was a little bigger than the NeoFlex, then the case would make it lift.

The NeoFlex is ok, but I prefer something harder - like PET plastic. Bodyguardz made those for the S7e, and the one they have for the S8+, I am not sure it is made of PET plastic. If not, then I might hold off. PET plastic is as close as you can get to glass without it being glass but it sticks to the screen at all points, not just some points like the glass ones. The NeoFlex is soft and with fingers it is okay - but when I put one of these on my Note7 last year, I had to rip it off because the self-healing properties didn't really self heal 100% when using a stylus.

Not to talk about cases - but for anyone buying a Spigen Tough Armor - if you had bought these before for the S7e, you will notice that the one for the S8+ has edges that are higher then previously - meaning that it comes up on the edge more than before. As a result, if the protector isn't case friendly, you're going to have problems - and I think you might have problems with some that are classified as case friendly as well. It is literally a perfect fit with the NeoFlex. I am interested in hearing if people are having problems with screen protectors and the Tough Armor, or if it's just in my imagination.

I got same protector only I think they should leave cutouts for sensors

The first thing I did was put on a screen protector from Armorsuit. I chose this cause it has cut outs for the speaker and all the sensors.

Are you happy so far or not with that screen protector?

 

[speed13]

I tried the NeoFlex by Spigen and it's terrible.

It has the orange-peel effect. It's noticeable when you look at your screen, but I like to use the Gear VR, and that just make things worse, because that orange peel effect is basically amplified.

It's noticeable definitely that you have screen protector but I don't have issues with what you call orange peel effect. I would say down side is no cutouts for sensors and face unlock not working best with this screen protector, without screen protector it's outstanding unlock

My Alpha Glass will be here Tuesday. This is the first curved display device that I have ever had.

Let us know how that works... a few have returned the Alpha glass because of issues with them not having cut outs or the edges not sticking in the defender case.

Thx for this article. Good read, basically states my experience so far. I guess I'll pass on the Zagg glass.

 

[robertopod1968]

Same here. I just sold my S7 Edge and it had one barely visible tiny scuff mark on it, and the guy who was buying it couldn't find it so I had to show him where it was at. That was Gorilla Glass 4. This is Gorilla Glass 5, and the YouTube guy who tests screen durability could not damage the screen for the life of him.

I had no problem scratching my display within 24 hours. Never dropped, nothing weird happened to it at all. No idea where it came from. It pissed me off so bad that I went and exchanged it for a new one. Lol.

True, no cutout for the iris sensor but I haven't experienced issues. It is still very fast, and to top it off, I also wear contacts and it works the same on and off.

It's not the most ideal - I still like the PET film protectors which to me is almost like glass but I don't see any for the S8/S8+ yet. It fits perfectly with the Spigen cases so it'll do at least until I can find a better one.

Yea. My neo flex is great.

The Verizon rep didn't push the more expensive Zagg. She pushed the Verizon one, which is $30 cheaper and has a cut out for the front camera, speaker, and iris scanner.

 

[Redpoole]

I put neo flex on my gs8. It has stayed on perfectly with the spigen case.

 

[aokusman1]

Yes but it has reduced sensitivity on the left top side of my screen. I have to press harder.

 

[aokusman1]

I got a Zagg glass screen protector that is case friendly at Tmobile. So far I am NOT loving it. It works great with my Spigen Hybrid case but the touch sensitivity sucks along the edges and the nearly impossible to pull down the notification bar. I'm going to give it a few days to see if it settles and for me to get use to it. If it still annoys the crap out of me I'm taking it back.

How much Did it cost. My cheap $10 does same thing.

 

[sangs]

Think I'm bypassing the screen protector for the first time ever. The reviews of these things have been very unkind so far.

Same here. Fits with my incipio case perfectly and I don't notice any orange peel

 

[bobbigirl83]

Decided to rock the Zagg hd dry. I will give my thoughts in a few days once I've put a case back on and have used it for a few days.

On a related note, I feel really bad because I told a guy who was buying the phone and a case not to get the glass screen protector he had in his pile to purchase. I told him to buy a film one instead. I didn't know that this particular location only had the glass ones so he only ended up buying the case

Sorry, Mr. AT&T Sales Guy.

Yeah I've tried two now... Both were a big fail. Screen so pretty bare
