True, it doesn't help that the camera on my moto Z isn't the best either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Greatbape:
Can you take some more pictures? Where is the adhesive located? Only on the edges like other models or is the entire surface covered? Black border or no border?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
It is along the edges as far as I can tell, similar to the others and there is a black border on the protector itself like them too, but I have yet to experience the clickyness that most curved glasses have in the center and it is the perfect size for multiple cases. Ill upload a couple more pics here in a few.

You have the pic of the box Verizon version
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] antawnm26:
Doesn't interfere with that case I see. What is the name of that case
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] WarlockLord:
My experience with it has been exactly the opposite. It does not stick in place and can be moved around quite easily and its clicking non stop. The sensitivity is bad. The rep at Verizon put it on for me. Is it possible she did something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
Neither case pictured gets in the way. They are both from VRS one is the simpli mod and the other is Crystal mixx
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
Dang, sorry to hear that. It's totally possible the she put it on wrong. If she didn't apply pressure around the edges enough before removing the guide. It could've moved to one side. Idk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Harry44:
Great, now I am frantically calling all the Verizon stores in the area.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
Lol should be free two day shipping on the website
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] RMXO:
Had to placed an order online since stupid Verizon wouldn't let me talk to a store salesperson and wanted me to be routed around. The only free shipping was 3-5 days ground.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Harry44:
Not to worry. I found one! Good guy Gurule92 sharing this find. Thanks! Super easy to apply. Clean, smooth, looks like it wont hold finger prints. Hope my Speigen wont make it pop off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] bagged00:
So I took the ops advice and bought one of the screen protectors. Cane out to like 28$ so a little pricey but not bad. My thoughts, the screen protector as of right now works perfect I have 0 problems with lifting, touch sensitivity etc. Install was very easy, and the protector feels like it's sticking well. Seems like it's case friendly but I do have 2 very minimalistic cases. The dot matrix is pretty easily noticeable at certain angles but mostly only on dark screens. Over all so far I'm very happy with it though. I can deal with the dot matrix to help protect this screen. When I installed I laid the screen protector on and pushed out from the center. My thought on this is its removing gap between the protector and screen and then sticking versus just sitting on top of the screen and pushing the sides down. Is it guaranteed to work like that? Probably not, but it did work for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Nitemare15:
Is there a flat glass protector that's not curved? Also if not I'm going to go with either Spigen or the Verizon. I'm assuming Spigen?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Neo3D:
Dang, black border is a deal breaker for me.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Does it have full adhesive or just thin strip along the edge like all of the other crappy TGSP's?

That dot matrix pattern is a deal breaker for me. Why did manufacturers start doing this? All of my TGSP's worked fine in the past w/o those distracting dots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Vesnik:
These screen protectors are going to be the death of me. I feel like every other day I'm doing an hour worth of research on good potectors. They either don't stick on the curves, have black boarders (why?) Or have crappy do matrix. Can't someone come up with a good solution? I mean maybe I should just go the whitestone route however $45-50 is pretty steep for a screen protector, specially if I mess something up then it's another $40 for just the screen/glue replacement.

I'm about to just get a $20 I-blason case with a cheap piece of plastic covering the front and call it a day I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] marktang:
have been using the whitestone for over a month now....it's really good. no peeling, no dust, no cracks. works amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
Does anyone know of a damn tempered glass screen protector that has adhesive EVERYWHERE and not only on the sides/edges?! -__-
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
[MENTION=5985892]Gurule92[/MENTION] Is it case friendly, and is the adhesive everywhere or just on the edges? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
The adhesive is just around the edges. And it worked well with the cases ive used. I currently use rhinoshields case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
DAMMIT!!!! The tempered glass case I have is around the edges only too, and it straight up sucks. I hear a click sound damn near every time I click the middle of the screen, and screen sensitivity absolutely stinks -_-

I have yet to find a tempered glass screen protector that has adhesive all around :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
Yea, unfortunatley I havent seen any either. These ones are pretty good though. Not so much clicking
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
"Not so much clicking" so there is clicking -_- what about touch screen sensitivity?

I paid $44 for mine at Best Buy. So if there is any chance I can find a better one for cheaper I will do it. Still have 7 days left to return the one I bought.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
The sensitivity is perfect for me. I havent noticed a difference in sensitivity. The vzw one is probably pretty close to the bestbuy one if not better. But its def cheaper. There might be better ones out now though as i havent tried a new one for a long time
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Probably depends on how you install glass as well. Try to install is as centered as you can, heat the edges, and with a slight firm push, push down the edges. Let the adhesive cool down a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
Just do it yourself, (see page 16) mine has been on since August 4th, and still mint. Worked out so well I did the same for my wife's S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] ssgunner20:
I gave up on tempered glass. Went with the Spigen Neo Flex protector since April, no issues.

Until recently, top right corner began bubbling but since its a wet application it had slightly shifted upward on the right corner which was hitting my spigen tough armor case. Problem was solved, again since it is a wet aplication applied water to screen (lightly) and easily pushed it down and bubbling has gone away. Either way, its a great protector and currently available for 7.99 on amazon. Bargain if you ask me.

Guys i know this is tempered glass section .. but i want to ask do u know which is the best film screen protector? Cause man.. i hsd gpel tgsp but im tired of it.. full of dust i cant see anything on this beautiful display..thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Bullitt3309:
I bough some LOCA glue. Since I don't have the whitestone kit, how much glue are you putting down ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
I just put a line in the middle of the screen. It doesn't take much at all. If u got the Xfactor glue from the previous links, I've already done 3 phones with the one tube, and still seems like there is more to spare. Make sure u put painters tape or something similar over the earpiece so glue doesn't get in there, and make sure u have plenty of wipes and get urself some 91% rubbing alcohol to wipe away the excess. Also, don't UV until all the excess is wiped away and all the bubbles are out. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Bullitt3309:
Thanks. I got this glue

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Blinkyfrog:
Flat vs. Curved...

Protecting the curved edges is an engineering problem that seems yet to be solved. But the curves MUST be protected, they're the most vulnerable part of the screen.

Until I read this thread, the clicking problem hadn't occurred to me... now I'm bothered.

Like you, I'm skeptical that any curved protector will work. If you use flat tempered glass, there will be a stress riser at the edges. That may or may not be much of a factor, but to me, it would be no better than a flexible scratch protector.

Finding a screen protector and case for a Note8 has been way harder than I expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] donguason:
I ordered the Spigen 3d Glass and have an extra Glue bottle from my Whitedome. Going to try that combo and see what it does.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Blinkyfrog:
I like that. I've learned a little bit more about screens and protecting them since writing this. I was primarily concerned with breaking the glass and digitizer with an edge hit so I thought tempered glass was the only choice.

What I learned is, the Gorilla Glass is the best protection for the digitizer, but its weakness is scratch resistance.

A flexible protector like the Invishield should be adequate for scratch protection.

Choosing the phone was a piece of cake compared to cases and SPs.

Thanks for the idea.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] porkchop8:
Hi all,

Any feedback on the difference between the 2 types of tempered glass.

1. The one that looks like devils horns (sensors not covered)

2. The fully covered one where all the sensors are covered except for the earpiece.

Thank you.

I have skinomi. The ultimate touch feel is not as smooth as glass, but I still prefer wet install over edge glue glass protectors
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Rydah:
I recently got the amfilm tempered glass screen protector for my S8+. I was expecting the usual lifting and such that other edge only adhesive glass protectors have but I was wrong.

It stuck on well and looks great. Definitely worth the price. My only complaint is that the edges of course are huge lint magnets. It bugs me to see my device so dusty looking but it's definitely nice to feel glass rather than a plastic film that scratches easily and could bubble up.

Shout out to AmFilm!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Roving1:
I bought the GadgetGuard Black Ice + and loved it (except for the drn dots in bright light) for almost 2 months (2 months today exactly) and then a week ago a small crack showed up about a half inch long. I looked real closely at it and it kinda looked like it might have been hit there on the top portion of the screen. I scratched my head because I know I haven't dropped it or bumped it. Well I was watching some videos and about an hour later that small crack was now running the full length of the screen from top to bottom. After a couple of days I noticed it had a chip on one side of the screen, then a day or so later another and then a small crack just on top of the curve (yeah all by itself a quarter inch or so, a random crack not touching anything (weird). Now it is just flippin spitting glass at me, with several cracks up and down that one side and they are independent of each other. I will try to get someone to take a pic of it and post it for yall. I need to order a replacement (its free if you call 10.00 shipping free), I am just lazy and waiting for payday. I am almost watching these cracks grow as I sit here not touching the phone. I hope the one that they send me this time last a little longer than this one.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] porkchop8:
Hi all,

Is there a full screen tempered glass where all holes have cutouts not just the earpiece? I am concerned the front facing wont be as clear due to the extra layer of glass. I know there is the devils horn looking lass which is the case friendly version but i am looking for a full coverage one.

many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] dtomlin:
I just put my OTAO on and love it. Perfect with my incipio case. Much better than the rubber feeling thing I had. I can actually swipe to text again.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] porkchop8:
I cant see this having the cutouts for the camera lens, led etc. Am I missing something?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kxdaorbit:
All the sensors have clear windows. I use these and similar all the time, on both the S8+ and Note 8.

At £1.52 you can't go wrong imho.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] porkchop8:
Ah. Awesome. Im just worried that the clear window covering the front facing camera lens will distort the photos.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kxdaorbit:
Aah, so that's why I look so terrible in those selfies, lol.

In all seriousness, no issues at all.

As with all screen protectors the more precise you are with alignment and application, the better.

My advice is to leave your case on, once aligned, work outwards in all directions from the middle, using your thumbs, then seal edges with greater pressure on sides, top and bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Kash:
I have also been using the OTAO for the past week and like it. The fitting with the tray installation worked well and endured the screen protector was spot on. The glass feels nice and is clear. My only gripe is it easily attracts fingerprints.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Shan89:
Just buy liquid crystal and enjoy the phone.

My previous s7e was front and back with liquid crystal not a single scratch, s8+ the same.

Main pros of crystal are it doesn't get smudges like screen protectors it's smoother under finger...way smoother then even stock and it wipes extremely easily.

On a side note I'm using both phones with official LED flip covers.

I've got this on mine and been on a week. No dust,popping under the screen. Clarity is great and screen sensitivity is bang on . Saves having a case . Only downside is its as slippy as it would be naked .

Looks great though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kxdaorbit:
How much bulk does it add overall, any pics?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fridaycider:
Only the bulk of glass on front and rear . I should have took pics but I've removed the front as I had a whitestone dome already ordered and wanted to get it on.

If not I'd gladly have left it on as it looked like there was nothing on it .

Would recommend it though and would buy again .

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

I ended up with a slim case also so I took it off . Just felt more grippy with a case .

But it you love the naked look it definitely ticks all boxes .

Just too slippy for me as I always work in the wet .

What is the census on best buy screen protector?

I had nillkin screen protector and ringke fusion case but after my phone fall unlickily on the edge, screen broke. Now I have different case (some cheap chinese but with higher side bazels) and looking for screen protector. I have second nillkin atm but it's not very fit.. on one side, "glue" is not holding.

I have ordered 3 different cases but suggestion for that is also appriciated.. so, case that is not too massive and has sides higher.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] gerryl432:
I think the glue around the edges is key. I have had this phone for 3 months and still can't find a glass screen protector that will stick for over a week. The dirt will accumulate underneath and is impossible to prevent it. Maybe a non glass protector is the answer but anymore input from other s8+ edge owners would be greatly appreciated. I also have a OtterBox leather strada flip case that has been working out very well

Whitestone Dome Glass
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] rstrk:
Hello guys.

Just bought my S8 Plus and I am currently looking for a suitable screen protection. It seems that the best results you will get with the Loca UV adhesive. Whitestone Dome seems to be the best option, but a bit too pricey for me. I would like to buy the glue and the tempered glass protector separately and apply them by myself. As for the glue, I plan to buy the Loca 2500 version (e.g. the bottle with 10ml for 2.18$ from aliexpress).

However I am having problems with choosing the right glass. I prefer the U-shaped version like with the Whitestone (front camera, sensors and speaker are not covered). From what I've read I should look for a glass without a dot martix and preferably with oleophoebic coating. There are just too many of noname brands to choose from.

I am planning to buy from Aliexpress since it would be cheaper, but German Ebay or Amazon is fine too.

Can someone help me with this buying decision?

Thank you.

It seems to me that there will never be a tempered glass protector that actually works and adheres properly covering the curves and entire screen. So how about a tempered protector that sits right up to the curved edges and covers the flat part of the screen? I know someone made them for the S7E. Anyone making a tempered protector for only the flat part of the screen for the S8+?
