I look forward to your review!

I didn't get around to do a review on the Techmatte because my phone ended up having to go in for a warranty repair so I had to take it off after just a few days but it was perfect for the time I used it, as close to naked screen as I have tried so far and I actually think it was nicer than the screen itself when using the pen
 
Just got my note 8 having a problem picking the right screen protector, with hearing all the problems with the beveled edges and the sensitivity it seems to take away with typing. I was sold some liquid glass but after reading reviews I don't want to use it. Anyone know the right one to put on? Thanks in advance

I have had Zagg glass since it first became available on the Note 8. I am using an Otterbox Symmetry case with it, and it works perfectly. the curved glass fits just right, and the case and glass work well together.
Having dropped my phone several times already, including flat not the front, with no damage, chips, or scratch, I give it a solid 5 *s. I loved Zagg glass on my Note 3, having replaced the glass protector 4 times with cracks that never touched the screen. (I'm tough on phones).

Hope this helps
 
Has anyone dealt with the the smash-it screen detaching from the the phone screen? Mine is doing it now.
 
I bought 2 Whitestone Domes over the holidays, 1 for my phone and the other one for my wife's. Just put both on, pretty easy and much better than the one I had on previously, no screen door effect, better contact with pull downs and we're both happy. Fits nice with the cases we have and no black edges.
 
I have the Spigen tempered glass protector. It only has adhesive on the edges. It's a solid 3.5 out of 5 IMO. Its not a perfectly flush fit as the screen sensitivity is not as good as naked. You can tell there is a bit of an air pocket. It's not bad, just not perfect. Also at the top where the front facing camera is dust is starting to creep in. For $15 I can't complain.
 
Few days ago I installed Whitestone Dome Glass. Amazing glass, super smooth touch, much better experience than self-healing film I used to have. It only has one minor problem. It ****'in cracked 2 days later.
 
I'm really pretty satisfied with the Otao. Sometimes, occasionally, touch sensitivity is slightly affected along the edges but it's rare that I notice that and they're $10 on Amazon. The ones that cost 5x and 6x more certainly aren't 5x or 6x better, IME, so I continue to recommend the Otao. Also, installation is so easy even I could do it, comes with an install tray so you can't mis-align.
 
I'm on my 2nd Note 8 and I'm using an amFilm glass screen protector alongside a Unicorn Beetle rugged case (comes with a built in screen protector), but I've popped this out and it works very well with the amFilm indeed

Full rugged protection, not an overly bulky case and with a great tempered glass screen protector

It doesn't life the glass at all and nor does it stop it sticking down properly, so no clicking when you touch the screen or the edges etc





 
I'm now running the Zagg Invisible Shield Glass Curve Elite tempered glass with full adhesive... much better than their old one that just had adhesive on the edges. No air gap for dust and gives richer colors too... really nice.
 
The AmFilm is the one I have used and already on two warranty replacements. It lifts and clicks and the black border does block out some of the things.

How is your Glass Curved Elite working for you? I've had my Note8 since April 18th. Was looking to purchase this. Thanks for your response.

Good but not so good Samsmome - it cracked on me after about 8 months, so they sent me a warranty replacement with no questions asked, but that one would not stick correctly - the third one had the same issue. I finally gave up and am running without one right now! ???

I had the same experience with my Zagg curve replacement. It just didn't adhere on the edges. Customer service at Zagg was great. They sent me 2 more replacements but I kept having the same problem. With the 4th try, (I didn't give up since my first Curve Elite from their first shipment, was great until I broke it), I asked that they wait until they got a new lot, figuring that the others might be coming from a bad lot. They did and finally that one adhered on the first attempt. So apparently Zagg was having a manufacturing problem that they knew about and finally fixed. They would never admit that to me, but Idon't think they would have kept sending me replacements at no cost to me if they thought I was screwing up the install.
