[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I haven't tried the actual Whitestone LOCA, so no experience there. I just know this 2000 viscosity was too thick. I had to physically and quite forcebly push the TGSP down to get the LOCA to spread. And yes it took me a couple tries as well.

Regarding the mess, I think next time I'm going to wrap the phone in masking tape. Like completely cover everything except the screen. That way, when it's done, you peel 99% of the mess off.

But I'm still extremely happy with my results. No more glare in the sun, the home button is just as responsive as it was naked. No more lint and dust getting between the TGSP and the actual screen. (except for the piece I glued in there by accident. LOL.)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mstormer:
1000 was still thick for me but quite easier to spread around. I found out that I need to tape especially the earpiece after accidentally gluing it, which rendered it mute Lol (had to use the Sim ejector to scrape the glue out with some soap). I've been taping everything else ever since.

I have no experience with TGSP but the glass from Whitestone is quite good so I kept using it with new glue. hardly ever seen any fingerprint or oil.

paring the glass with Dbrand dragon skin and rhinoshield. Very happy with the result.

although I wonder if there's anywhere we can buy lower viscosity Loca (I buy my things from Amazon but 1000 was the lowest that I could find)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Same here, I buy from Amazon and 1000 was the lowest. I'm sure they're may be something on eBay, but I feel Amazon is more trustworthy for some reason.

Do you have link for this?

I just found this one with full adhesive, no UV lights or extra work. It comes with the guide and as long as you work all the bubbles out from the center turned out perfect. I messed up the first one cause the side wasn't sticking but I learned that you have to keep working at it until it sticks. I am happy with this just wish they made in full clear and without the cutout for camera at top. If it were a bit bigger wood be even better. But all in all I'm very happy with it as I have had hard time finding full adhesive tempered. This is cheaper than Whitestone and no adhesive to mess with and clean up. Unfortunately took me 2 tries but luckily return policy for Amazon prime is good.

And s8+

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073R7KQ4H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ncRDzbZGSR10E

I had left edge bubble but kept pushing it out until it stuck and it's great now. I do wish it didn't have the black border as it's "case friendly" meaning a few mm smaller than screen area so I feel I'm losing those mm. Other than that touch sensitivity is awesome, no clicking from only having glued edge and no bubbles.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
That's awesome. I'm happy with what I got now, but that is definitely a great viable option. You will have to keep us updated on how it holds up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gurule92:
I watched a video on this process. Looks hard. Does it come off?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes it will. Not sure how easily it will come off, but it will come off if I ever need to replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mstormer:
Loca glue will stick to the protector. the screen itself will be unaffected
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Batfink33:
I wouldn't trust that protector....

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Wahoux:
Hi,

All full adhesive tempered glass that I have found, does not ship to my country (France)...

Maybe a stupid idea, but do you think that, if a buy a classic no full adhesive tempered glass, and a liquid (spray) plastic screen protector, put the spray liquid on the tempered glass (instead of the plastice sreen protector), this will work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] howellcp:
Getting ready to order what is needed. Just wanted to check in on your install. Is it all still working out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup!! I'm VERY happy with the results. Get the XFactor Sticky Icky LOCA. It's got a lower viscosity so should spread easier than the regular XFactor.

My suggestion: put a piece of tape over the speaker and over any other openings around the phone. When the LOCA squishes out from under the TGSP, it will go everywhere. I actually plan to completely cover the phone with masking tape next time so I can just peel off 99% of the mess.

Take your time, pay attention to what you're doing. The XFactor is $12 for two 10mL tubes. The install takes about 4-5mL, so you should have enough to redo it if needed. Took me three tries.

Next time I think I can do it even better. Hopefully this will last me a few months, but my experience with TGSPs is that they always wind up with a chip in the edge that turns into a crack, so I know I'll eventually have to replace it.

Oh, and DON'T spend a bunch on the TGSP. They are all virtually identical, and I imagine most of the retailers buy them from the same source. There are some good ones in the $5-6 range, or even some two-packs for $10-$12.

The most you should have investied is $17-$23, plus the cost of the UV light if you don't already have one. And share some pictures here when you're done!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Wahoux:
Instead of LOCA, a clear silicone glue won't work? like this for example: https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Sili...501240026&sr=8-2&keywords=clear+silicone+glue
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] B3501:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Dear God no. Please don't do that. I can't express how much I hope you are joking.

"Clear" silicone glue is not OPTICALLY CLEAR. And it would be so ridiculously thick you'd never get it to flow under the glass, and it probably wouldn't even stick to begin with. Or if it did, it might be permanent. Even IF you SOMEHOW managed to make it work, it would be hazy and cloudy, and you'd probably ruined your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Batfink33:
Do the screen protectors remove ok when the Loca glue is dried? A nightmare would be for the Loca glue to ruin the screen when you try to take the protector off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
The short answer is yes. I haven't had to remove mine, but the Whitestone just uses a low viscosity LOCA and comes off just like any full adhesive TGSP. Someone else here who fixes phones did the same as me and said it comes off very easily.

The LOCA will stick to the TGSP, but doesn't stick to the glass. At least not permanently.

I used to fix phones as well and have experience using LOCA. It will come off and any residue can generally be removed with rubbing alcohol. Matter of fact, I used regular Windex to clean my phone after I did my TGSP and it did a great job removing the LOCA residue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Well, looks like I'll have a definite answer for you in a couple days. I was at the gym and set my phone down, screen side up for some reason. I usually set it screen side down, because I have a TGSP, and a case on the back. I always figure if something should happen, I'd rather the back side and the case take the impact instead of the screen. Beside the floor is soft rubber, so the screen would be fairly well protected.

Well, today, I sat it down screen side up and then dropped my keys. I didn't think anything of it, until I picked my phone back up and the keys must've hit the TGSP just right and out and ugly chip in the middle of the screen. Looks like a rock chip in a windshield.

So I'm going to order a new TGSP (going with an all clear one I think instead of the black border) and some XFactor Sticky Icky LOCA. going to stick with the case friendly TGSP for a couple reasons. One, I like the option of using a heavier duty case ar the gym and work, and don't want the TGSP to interfere with that. Plus, the case friendly ones have the sensors, camera, and speaker cutout, which makes it easier to avoid getting LOCA in the speaker.

My plan is to use a hair dryer to heat up the LOCA and slowly start prying it off. My theory is that it will peel right off. I just tried on one of the corners with my finger nail, and it started to peel up pretty easy. I may not even need heat.

I'll let everyone know how the removal and reinstallation goes!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Batfink33:
Looking forward to the report!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mstormer:
even 2000 viscosity will come out easily without any heat, just pry it up. (although be gentle, unless you wanna break the tempered glass)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
2000 viscosity is what's on it now. I ordered 1000 viscosity for the new TGSP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mstormer:
just here to confirm it for you as we did the same thing :D

same with 1000, 500, and whitestone extreme low viscosity. After dried, they all should come out along with the tempered glass itself, leaving the phone screen clean
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] otaostore:
Please press the middle and edge to make it firmly stick

Different with other flat screen protectors of S8/s8 PLUS, it is a little difficult to apply a curved screen protector on your S8/S8 plus, As a seller and manufacturer of otao S8/s8 plus glass screen protector, we suggest you pressing the edge and middle of the screen protector to make it firm. and this is very important ..hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Any idea what viscosity Whitestone uses? Is it even lower than 500?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
Just did my own full screen adhesive DIY.

The real trick I learned is to just push with force on the screen and watch the bubbles force their way out. At first, I was pushing the bubbles out and that was making the protector slide off. Just find the area with bubbles and just press down, don't push em out.

We'll see how it holds up.

Doesn't ship to US:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jal3223:
Awesome work man. Could you post that background or send a link to where you got it?

Also, what glass did use to put the loca under?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] peekie:
i use the whitestone dome protector , so far no problems with the cases i use , expensive yes but it works
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
The good news is the Xfactor LOCA UV glue is thicker than the WDP glue, so it won't slip right off instantly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Got the new TGSP installed. The old one peeled right off without using any heat. I just slowly pulled it up from the corners and edges. The TGSP did break, but I wasn't surprised since it was already damaged. A little Windex and a paper towel, and what little residue left over was cleaned right off.

The 1000 viscosity Sticky Icky was much easier to work with. I used an all clear protector instead of the one with the black border and very glad I did so.

It's not perfect. There is a speck of dust again in the middle of the screen, but 99% of the time it won't be visible. I accidentally pulled some LOCA out from under a couple edges as I was cleaning it up, so they have a rough look if you look closely, and I got it about a half a milometer crooked, but with no black border, you can't see it. And it mates up perfect with both my Cafele TPU case and my Lohasic hybrid case.

It was a hell of a mess again, but less so this time since I wrapped the phone in masking tape first. Took me a while to get the phone clean.

I've attached some photos.

Looks good.

About that speck of dust, did u do the job in the bathroom ? I always would get a speck of dust or more than a speck until I started doing TGSP's in the bathroom after letting some hot water run for a bit to steam up the room . Ever since I learned this trick, no more dust spots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Yeah in the bathroom, but I didn't steam it up first. Got lazy, and these are the consequences. LOL.

Just a quick update.

Been just shy of a week with my DIY screen protector, and the review is good. I work outside and my phone does get a lot of activity. But so far, not a single bubble, not a lift, nothing. I've tried multiple cases, none have separated from the device.

By now with others, I would've ripped it off by now and tried another. FWIW.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] donguason:
Any one recomend a good glass protector that I can use instead of the white dome? I have an extra Glue stick, the jig and UV light but dont want to drop another $50 on the White stone Glass just for the glass. Install go as planed and the Ebay seller does not want to warranty the glass. White stone told me to contact seller directly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
I used this glass.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXPY4Z1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ESdHzbHB5S8SJ

Been on for almost a week with no issues.

But I did NOT use the Whitestone Glue, I used Xfactor Premium UV glue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] donguason:
Nice, what case did you use? I Have the Spigen tough Armor with kickstand.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
Case ? Lol. Cases. I have many. I might have a problem...

Currently I'm going with my Super Mario theme, so I've got a metallic blue skin with a Zizo case. U can see my wallpaper if u go back a few posts.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
If you don't want the black border, then you can use any of the all clear case friendly TGSPs. They're all basically the same, so buy the cheapest one you can find. I used this one and it's great:

It says it's full cover, but it is most definitely case friendly. I used the Lohasic (sp?) Hybrid case with it and it was perfect. No bubbles or lifting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Hey guys, I installed this yesterday, ans honestly, this has been the best Glass protector so far. Has the dot matrix, bur sensitivity is good and seems the adhesive is as well. The top has a new design, or one I haven't seen from other glass protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jal3223:
Can you see the grid of dots all over the screen after the UV glue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
Not at all. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jal3223:
Awesome. I have a Whitestone protector, I'm just waiting for my device now. If it turns out to be non-case friendly, I may use that one instead.

So is the clarity on par with the original screen??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] ahamed.rafi135:
i guess spigens tempered glass is even better
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Kawaisa:
Has anyone tried the new Spigen glass? Looks ok, but I haven't tried it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071RKX2WY/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mixxxk:
yes, its so much better than a standard glass screen install, or a film, or even the wet install films. Especially due to the nature of the curved design of the phone. In fact, its so nice and dependable so far that ive gone ahead and did the same thing to my wife's S7 Edge last night.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Gurule92:
The verizon branded S8 screen protector is great quality, cheap and easy to install. (I purchased it for $26 on the VZW website)

All you have to do is clean up your phone real nice

Then set it inside of the guide piece that comes in the box.

Take off the plastic from the sticky side and set the screen protector on the guide.

Push down on the protector and take off the plastic from the upper side of the protector and BOOM you're done.

It fits in cases without lifting and doesn't cover any of the sensors.

The only complaint I would have is that you can see some dots in direct sunlight but that's a non-issue if you turn the brightness up or just don't be in direct sunlight :cool:

Let me know what you guys think. I recommend you try one for yourself. Looks better in person. sorry for the giant pics

If you have any questions about it let me know. Oh and there are no dead spots for touch and it responds no loss in sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] boostedneonsrt4:
it is full adhesive on the entire protector? I just looked it up on my corporate Verizon site and it has a Samsung part number so I am pretty sure this is the official glass screen protector that samsung was rumored to be coming out with. I went ahead and ordered it since I get a discount. Part number for anybody interested :SAMDM1PKGSPBK
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Gurule92:
From what I can tell, it is only glued around the outside, but they did a good enough job so it doesn't feel like it lifts in the center or anything
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
I stopped by my local Verizon store. It is $45 and they claimed the whole thing had glue. I suspected the guy was full of crap when he said that. I passed on it for now. I am leaning toward trying one, but don't have that much cash right now. Thanks for all of the info.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Gurule92:
oh cool, I didn't see the more expensive one. I got the cheaper one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
Both have really bad reviews. Besides marketing and one having the black border, I fail to see a real difference between them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
Apparently Verizon brands all their generic stuff similarly. The guy at the store told me they do the same for all brands. That being said this thing is more trash, screen sensitivity is worse than the GPEL I had on. Funny thing was right after install it was perfect and its slowly getting worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
And with that I am giving up on glass for now (tried 4 different ones Gpel being the "best" but still **** . I just ordered a wet install from illumishield.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
I'm either going wet or none. I heard mention in a video that the current glass ones without full glue aren't so nice if you plan to get the phone wet, which I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
That is actually a really good point, I plan on getting mine wet as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
Yeah, he mentioned water could likely get in between.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] flashingrom84:
Preordered mine from SecondSkin to make sure my baby was protected as soon as it came out of the box. Went on easily and touch seems unaffected. We'll see how it holds up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Hawke84:
Which second skin model did you order?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] zzEvilGeniuszz:
I got this one... it is amazing

https://youtu.be/hG14xSsWiiY
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Slash8915:
I got the Iluvvitt and ZAGG tempered glass. Both are basically crap. They are designed the exact same, with the adhesive only being on the edges. The result is a constant halo effect, and because there is a slight gap between the phone screen and the protector, you get a "rainbow effect" when you turn the phone at different angles. Same exact problem with all of the glass screen protectors and my LG V20.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] XBlackChaosX:
Yeah the reviews for the verizon one are terrible. Is it the the curved display that has made it hard to make a good tempered glass protecter for S6, S7E, & S8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
From what I've seen, yes. For some reason they can't or just don't put adhesive on the whole protector, only the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Hawke84:
In that case would a good wet application tpu one be the better than nothing option? I've never used these before so any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
Yeah its not as slick as glass but they are pretty good now. Not nearly as bad as the orange peel ones from a decade ago. Thats what I went with anyways, seeing any scratches on my screen would bother the hell out of me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] anti09:
I dunno guys, might just go naked on this one. My S6 is pretty scratch free, it seems Gorilla Glass might be getting to the point where screen protectors are no longer required. YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dragunbayne:
I used a best skins ever one on my S7E and it work great for scratch protection. Skinomi is good and I hear good things about Armorsuit. They go on great having a waterproof phone, you can be super generous with the solution which is key.
