Tempered Glass Screen Protector

[donm527]

I asked if adhesive on whole glass and from his answer it sounds like only on the top and bottom?

"Nope, it has the Dot Matrix which means no adhesive on the actual display area."

I definitely want a tempered glass screen protector. I have it on my S6 and LOVE it. HATE plastic, rubbery ones.

It would be really nice if someone from one of these companies would tell us why they can't do a wet application. I'm assuming that would not work because of the curves. My s7e has several micro scratches in it even though it is always the only thing in that pocket. Frustrating.

I ordered some new glass from spigen. It's called neo flex. I don't even think it's glass, idk wtf it is.

I've always used tempered glass, but when I got the s7 edge I didn't use one because of the curve and it was scratched in like 2 days.

When I got the note 7, I got some of that liquid screen protector stuff and that stuff is awesome.

I'll probably wind up using that again if this neo flex is a waste of money.

I had a flexible glass on my v20 and it's definitely not real glass and scratches real easy.

You can probably use IQ Shield, Skinmoi,Illumiaquashield. I've used all 3. They are all wet install. The only way I will try a tempered glass is if they offer a money back guarantee. I see a lot of them on Amazon offer a lifetime guarantee but what good is a lifetime guarantee if it doesn't stick right. They should make 1 that goes to where the curve starts. It will sit flat,and the chances of scratching the edge are pretty slim IMO

Iq shield and skinomi were definitely not case friendly and who can go without their phone for 24 hours while it dries. I have a pure gear pet screen protector on my v20 and it's nice but still not 100% case friendly. Incipio flexible glass was nice, but scratched real easy.

Does it just stick around the edges?

No, it's got the Dot Matrix on the display so this means that there is no adhesive on the actual display area.
Glad I did not waste $44.00 on this one.

The Otterbox Alpha Glass screen protector is out of stock.

Good thing, It sucks.

I am using an IQ Shield with my Spigen Heo Hybrid and it is very case friendly with this case. I can't speak for other cases though

I have ordered 5 cases and just compared them on side height. This one is noticeably lower on the sides. Seems likely it will work better with curved glass protectors.

Polyurethane skins like these 2 can have a case put on them 20-30 minutes after application, and unless there is a small sea that you didn't properly squeegee out from underneath it then it should be %100 useable. You "might" see some rainbow artifacting under bubbles while it is still drying. Live with it.

I scanned and saw that xtremeguard still doesn't have their s8 stuff up yet, but I did happen to find a tempered glass supplier who was selling flat protectors that didn't cover the edges. I ordered it just to see how it turns out. It is going to come down to how the screen light refracts and looks with it, I have little worry that anything will scratch the exposed sides, it's going in a neo hybrid as well.

The GS8 will be my first smartphone with a curved display as I have avoided them in the past due to cost not justifying the value of the added features. I saw the Alpha Glass from Otterbox and Gorilla Glass has one but it's sold out. Are there any other options? Do I really need it?

Got this one off amazon. Let's see how it fits.

Ah well. I'll try it out since I got it but I also got some liquid nano I'll use if I hate the neo flex.

Does the glass have the Dot Matrix or is there adhesive on the actual display area?

Can you post a couple pictures of the actual glass?

Hope it does not have a hole where the home button goes?

No holes where the home button is. Not sure why any tempered glass would have one considering it is a virtual button

 

[donm527]

This one looks promising

The art on the front of the box looked like a hole over the home button is why I asked.

 

[JLD94]

Can't wait to see some actual pictures of these on the phones. Watched the review of the otterbox one, looked pretty good, but OUCH that price!

I have a tempered glass protector waiting for the phone, if it does not go on very well then I am going to try liquid glass.

This is the one I got. I've had good luck with that brand on other items.
