[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] FluxionFluff:
That's my concern as well since this will be my first phone, coming from the S6, that's gonna have a curved display. I was planning on buying another Spigen case as it's the main reason why my S6 is still in one piece, haha, but I've heard that the curved glass protectors don't work well with any cases that aren't the really thin TPU ones, so that poses a potential problem.

Should I even bother ordering any remotely heavy-duty case now, despite not being 100% sure if there's gonna be ANY glass screen protectors that will work with this curved display? If there are curved glass screen protectors that will work with heavier duty cases, it'll be very nice to know as I love having a glass screen protector on my S6 and it'd be a shame to have to give that up with the S8.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

You see, I generally plan on selling my phones when I get new ones, so, I honestly care about keeping the phone in as pristine condition as possible, to get maximum resale value. The glass screen protector is the only reason why my S6 doesn't have a cracked screen. I don't understand how people can stand using obviously cracked screens... O.o Every time I see that, I'm like WTF?! Like replacing a screen protector is HELLA cheaper than replacing your entire display. I do have a few minor scratches on my current one, but because it's not my ACTUAL display, it doesn't bother me.

Right?! A glass screen protector saved my S6, so I REALLY hope there will be curved glass screen protectors that'll work with any cases that aren't the cheap, thin TPU ones... T.T
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] spinkick:
The thing is, that the protector cracks much more easily, as well as scratches more easily. Likely, if a hit was hard enough to crack the screen itself, a glass screen protector is not going to help. They are softer than the phone's glass and that is why people swear by them. Youll spend more money replacing screen protectors then you will making the money difference from selling a "mint" class phone vs "good".

Scratches, maybe the screen protector can help with. Cracks? No way. Manufacturers would also recommend them and not persue gorilla glass etc, if it really was that easy.

I think its just another way for the industry to extract more money from people.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] stedean:
I'm thinking about trying this one. Armorsuit

Their case for the S7 Edge got really good reviews ( 4338 Reviews, average 4 stars) and it's cheap enough if it doesn't work well, not a big loss. It's not glass though, but I've never used a glass screen protector, so doesn't matter to me. And, it's supposedly case friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] mastibeta:
I ordered a case friendly tempered glass screen protector.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Th3Bill:
Funny that it has a review without the device having been shipped for it to be installed on. I'll laugh if it turns out to not be very good and they edit it to a 1 star 2 days after the phones arrive "in hands" lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] mastibeta:
It's cheap enough I don't care. If it works yay, if not...I'll swap.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] acheney1990:
I'm likely not going to use a case, so don't care about compatibility with one. Anyone got any suggestions for a glass protector? What usually is the problem with the glass protectors?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cyclejoc:
A couple choices.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] rkennison:
There has never been a curved glass protector that worked for everyone. A few worked with a few individuals phones, but it was the rare exception. In the last few years no one has got it right yet, zagg included. It's not going to change just because samsung releases new phones....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GZ20TT:
Thanks.

I was hoping that some of the manufacturers had managed to solve the problem in the year since the S7e was released.

I've seen quite a few offers on eBay with glass protectors that have curved edges and cover the full face, with a few holes for the front camera etc.

So the current word is to steer clear of these?

At least until some more testing is done.

Looks like plastic is the way to go then - with a Spigen case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GermanGuy:
Are there any good plastic protectors out there? I had the official Samsung plastic protector for either the S7E or the Note7 (don't remember now), and that one was really good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Dr. Fed:
Edit: do not buy this, see post 64

I've used the ArmorSuit Case Friendly Military Sheild for my S7edge for probably 8 months now. Here's what I like about it:

1. It's cheap on Amazon.

2. The wet application is easy for most people, and these phones don't mind getting a little wet. It slips around during installation so that you can align it accurately.

3. Because it comes in a "case friendly" version, it has never popped up at the sides or corners because of a case (I've used a variety of Spigen cases). For those that don't use a case, the "regular" version of this screen protector should cover the entire screen from coast to coast.

4. The screen protector actually looks and feels better after a few days. At first it's a bit tacky, but it gets smoother to the touch and cleaner visually.

Tips: use plenty of liquid on your fingertips when applying, and don't touch the side that contacts the screen too much. Squeegee very thoroughly and then use clean fingers to press the edges/corners down repeatedly. The edges will at first seem to want to rise up off the curved edges of the device, but with repeated massaging they will totally stay down "forever". If it looks like "orange peel" at first, give it 24 hours before you rip it off in disgust...It will get much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] tnick84:
I totally agree with you. I've used armorsuit since note 4 and note edge. Great quality at a low price. I already have one for the s8+ (case friendly). After trying many glass and wet apply films on the note 7, armorsuit is the only one that didn't peel. I am a strong believer in this brand. I would as well recommend armorsuit until a reliable glass protector is released, if ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] mixxxk:
I also echo armorsuit and IQ shield case friendly wet screen protectors for any phones with curved screens. Already have my 'em waiting for my s8plus. Got my 1st glass protector today. GPEL. Was hoping for a dot free experience. Not gonna get it with this one. See attached pic.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] stedean:
I noticed that the Spigen screen protectors for the S7 Edge got bad reviews. I really like their cases, so I'm surprised by this. Since I need 2 of them, should I get 2 Armorsuits for $7.95 each, or get a 2 pack of Spigen for $8.99 at Amazon? It looks like they are both wet-apply.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] eranyanay:
I ordered the spigen neo-flex. I hope it will be ok.

Since of all the mixed responses about curved glass protectors, I decided to buy a film right now, and wait for the reviews instead of guessing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] BigBen60:
What do you guys think of Zagg screen protectors ?

Does it worth it spending 50$ in a tempered glass screen protector from Zagg ? Anyone tried it for the S7 edge ? Or is a simple Zagg film enough ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] bamfsig45:
I went with iLLumishield for the initial test. I've used them before and not had issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GZ20TT:
The seller I use didn't have Spigen branded screen films.

Instead I've just received some "official" Samsung plastic screen protectors to go with a Spigen Slim armor case.

I'll report back once I get the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] marcochapita:
Once I receive the phone I will try this ones ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Babychan:
Is that plastic protector or the rubbery film one?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GermanGuy:
Do you have a link for where to order the plastic Samsung screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] BornAgainAndroid:
How does the screen protector hold up to falls? My biggest reason for using a glass protector is to keep the screen safe(ish) from falls.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] marcochapita:
it does feel rubbery film,definitely not plastic :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GZ20TT:
I'm in Australia and bought from

http://www.progadgets.com.au/collections/galaxy-s8-s8-plus

Same screen protector as Marcochapita a few posts up.

I haven't opened mine up yet - will see if I like the rubbery feel or not and if it works with the Spigen slim armor case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dansan382:
The GPEL really has those dots all over it? What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] fcb1:
I'm pretty sure those are just from the plastic coverings?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] mixxxk:
I had more than a handful of tempered glass screens for my s7 edge and most had that dot matrix issue. It's hard to see what the screen is on, but at certain angles it's very noticable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Femmetechstic:
Why is this? I've never seen this on any of my screeen protectors :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] maik005:
That is because this protector is made of glas/plastic not a foil.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GermanGuy:
Bummer. They don't ship to US. This is exactly what I was looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GZ20TT:
I'm sure there would be Spigen dealers/distributors where you are.

I found these guys via their eBay store and found that they were cheaper direct due to no eBay fees on sales.

Found this video today - Otterbox TGP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_gHUPwhyrs

I'd hope that the adhesive on the edges gets better once cured fully.

Seems to work OK with Otterbox case - but not as well with others.

Pop off likely.

May stick with plastic ......

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Phredeee:
I used the wet applied IQ shield, after many others, on my Note 7. Wet applied is great. Glass protectors without glue on the sides will let dirt/dust collect under the protector. Glass just seems to have many problems with the curved glass. I think the shape of the infinity screen will present a problem. Maybe for the film ones as well.

I'm getting a clear TPU case and IQ Shield Matte Finish to put on day 1 then let the smoke clear a bit to get a nicer case and see what protectors are REALLY doing. I'm not going to spend a lot in round 1 and expect fully to buy replacements.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] fcb1:

I have ordered some of the techgear plastic ones off ebay uk. I had used them on the last few phones I've had and they are pretty good, no rainbows, good fit etc. That was only on S4, S6 and nothing with a curved screen, so I've ordered some of the techgear ones for the S8 plus and I'll update here on Thursday. Going to use with Otterbox symmetry with a bit of luck!

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Forgot to ask, what is it that stops the tempered glass protectors from being case friendly? Is it the thickness of the glass?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] maik005:
Right. as the full cover tempered Glas Protectors are coveriing the full front glass with about 0,33mm more thickness the protector could be lifted up if a Cose is put on.

Protectors that are only on the flat surface of the screen should be ok - but will the EDGEs unprotected.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Monkey Chops:
OK got it, thanks. I've been looking on Amazon, but a lot of them don't list the thickness. Hopefully someone on here will tell us the best ones to buy! :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] maik005:
real Glass would be always about 0,3mm thick
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Monkey Chops:
Just to update on the Techgear plastic screen protectors from ebay. Absolutely useless. They do not stick to the curved edge of the screen. Complete waste of money.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Dr. Fed:
Guys, Armorsuit screwed things up this year. The case-friendly version is not case-friendly at all. Only works well for some cases. For example, the Spigen Thin Fit had no problem, but the Spigen Rugged Armor caused the edges of this protector to pop up. I'm sorry I recommended it, I hear Armorsuit is sending out free replacements to those that ordered it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nem1yan:
Purchased a gadget guard screen protector when I bought the phone from AT&T. Been around an hour and I'm seriously about to rip it back off. You can see the adhesive lines around the screen, and there is some buildup in the corners. To top it off the screen sensitivity is so terrible that I'm having a hard time typing this. The warranty with it is the only positive, but I doubt I'll make it through the day without prying this thing off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] shane1088:
Hi. :)

I am currently stuck at a blue screen that says "an error has occured while updating the device software." I rooted which went fine, but when I went to add TWRP I was unable to access recovery. Each time I would try to access recovery it would say something like "system software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone." So I decided to revert back to stock using Odin and the firmware from Sammobile, that however failed and now I'm stuck on the "an error has occured while updating the device software."

- I can get into download mode

- I can NOT get into recovery and havent been able to since I rooted

- I had just upgraded to 7.0 ota right before I rooted

- I've tried flashing with Kies however it just keeps asking me to enter a model number

- I've tried flashing with Smart Switch but after I enter the model number and serial number the app closes and nothing happens

- Odin fails everytime, have also tried patched Odin which I used to root and fails as well

Edit: Could it be that I need to flash 7.0 firmware instead of 6.0.1? I read something about the bootloader not allowing downgrades?

Please help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Venom0642:
Why would you try installing TWRP on a AT&T S7 Edge which the bootloader is locked, that's one reason you can't go to recovery, basically you bricked your AT&T S7 Edge, try to odin Stock AT&T S7 Edge Nougat see if that gives you recovery back, and do not try installing TWRP again, if your able to Odin back to stock, good luck!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] shane1088:
I'll try that. And why? My own incompetence I suppose....however I couldn't access stock recovery after I rooted either, before I tried to install TWRP, so I'm not sure how that factors in?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Not enough of an upgrade for me, far too similar to the S7 specs wise, and camera too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killer333:
I feel the same.

As they've gone for new design, It seems, they'll perfect this in the next version.

Especially that fingerprint sensor location. Even though it is symmetrical or suits better for the design (Check the attached Pics), its still in unconventional location.

Have to wait for Note 8 to see if they're going to change anything :angel:
