Yeah doubt I'll feel like glass, but this is what I bought. Should be here Friday.

Not sure what there is to debate. It is still scratch resistant not scratch proof. Find dirt or sand with a single hard enough crystal and it will scratch when you brush it away. Wear good jewelry? Same boat! And it cannot be repaired. It all depends on how badly you want that $750 device to remain perfect.

I have yet to see a tempered glass work on the curved galaxy screens that didn't end up trapping air bubbles under the center or immediately popped off when a case applied pressure to the side lip. Also for some reason a lot of protectors put that bottom and top masking, wtf is up with that? spent less time on useless paint and more on making better glass.

I will most likely be cutting a custom polyurethane skin from my sheet for the first day while waiting for a good maker like xtremeguard to finally release theirs. I cut mine with an exacto knife and the edges leave lots to be desired. Poly skins look great but alas not much can be done with that rubber feeling.

Look for "case friendly" S8 screen protectors. The ones they have now doesn't work together with cases. The case friendly ones leave room around the edges for a case.

I'm using Skinomi case friendly version. No, it doesn't feel like glass. I know it takes a day or 2 for it to completely dry and for the skin to smooth out but mine hasn't. Still has the tiny ripply waves. This is the first time I've had this happen with a Skinomi. It is quite possible my installation was faulty. It is a 2 pack to I will probably remove this one and see if I can't get it looking smoother.

Got my Whitestone today. That was a complicated install,. But after the S7 edge and this s8+, this is the first full adhesion wet application tempered glass protector that actually works. If you can find one buy it.

Thx for the info, sorry you had to be the one to experience it.

Can you post any pictures showing the Whitestone bubbles?

Too late. I took it off that morning. I would try it again except for the $45 price tag...

I have the Zagg protector installed at VZW and my biggest gripe is that it actually let MORE dust get under the screen after a week. It responds fine to my touch but looks terrible! I feel like it got progressively worse as tiny dust particles snuck past the border to the space between the protector and the screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

No but that Zagg is to expensive to look like

It's extremely irritating. I really feel like it detracts from the quality of the phone. One of the best things about a Samsung is the display. This screen protector takes away from that.

The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector is available for pre-order on Amazon for both the GS8 and the GS8 +.

So much work to install though

Anyone tried the Rynoshield tempered glass?

There is a Reddit user who commented on the RhynoShield tempered glass from firsthand experience.

Seems to be on par with most of the other ones on the market-- Adhesive around edges only, dot-matrix, some rainbow effect and not compatible with all cases.

After looking into every option I could find I eventually went with SecondSkin's One. I've had Zagg's before but just fancied a change more than anything. It also doesn't just have the thin strip of glue my S7 Edge one had (can't remember which brand?), so so far so good.

Sounds interesting. Read their site. I can't find it on Amazon though. Also it looks like it's not being offered with US dollars? Looks like only UK.
