I had file down the sides quite a bit and a little on the top and bottom. The screen protector was fine until a 8 foot drop screen down on to crushed concrete.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] AvivEliyahu:
Wonder if its easy to remove without leaving marks on the screen though, since its 'glued'
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Panzerapple:
It will be a pain to replace since it is cracked. I had to replace the protector on my personal S8 after I dropped it. I just peeled it off carefully with a razor blade and the screen was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wildta:
I agree. Way too expensive for replacement kit.

Hey can you provide links to the aliexpress glass and glue you used? TIA!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] waterman50:
I have a question related to the blue light cutting from their protection.

I haven't found an answer to it and would be pleased to hear a comment.

Does the blue-light cut - 30% less blue light emission - resulting, after installation of the screen protector,

modify the color accuracy of the S8 (to an extent, S8+, Note 8).

What becomes of the RGB color accuracy, DPI color palette ... ? I suppose cutting 30 % of blue light modifies the color distribution, as it becomes uneven.

As a result, RGB color and DPI color palette...all set by Samsung in the S8, S8+ and Note 8, will be biased ?

If for example, I want to retouch a photo with Adobe lightroom, colour accuracy will be biased too, with the screen protector installed.

I feel Whitestone Dome glass should have proposed a clear screen (with no 30% blue light cutting) as a buying option.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dave5777:
Just installed the Whitestone on my S8+, definitely worth every penny to protect this fragile expensive phone, installation was easy and the result was phenomenal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] pngpnggs:
Just installed it for 2 weeks, no problem so far. The side of the glass is Tight Fit with bumper case like Uag or Spigen ( doesn't work with Rinke Onyx :() . I recommend using slim case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Reystar22:
Also, can you remove the screen easy after months? I saw the video of the guy removing it, but it was just cured some hours ago, not months ago...

anyone tried to remove the dome protector after months? Does it remove the oleophobic coating when removing it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Zorgxpto:
sounds economic but what happens when we need to remove it ?

heat ?

sounds like a glue too strong for the job.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Killemalll:
I've used this on my S8. It was a cool product but it lasted about 2 weeks since upon the first drop it cracked and took the $50 I paid for it to the trash. I therefore proceeded to remove the screen and it came off very easily and in one piece (although cracked) . It did its job as the phone screen was still immaculate, but if i would pay $50 for everytime I drop my phone, I may as well run it naked and buy me a new one if the screen would crack.

Switched to yotatech wet application protectors. Works better and you get 2 for $8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jack1142:
Hi!

I want to buy Whitestone Dome Glass for S8 and I'm thinking, which case will go well with it. Could someone, who has this glass for at least 2 weeks could tell, what case does he use?

I want opinions from S8 users, not S8+, because it's not the same and if it fit on S8+ it doesn't need to fit on S8.

And is there even any real alternative to this tempered glass? It could be even on the same price point.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Righttoknow:
hi, sorry for not replay in time (was on vacation)

there is no problem removing the glass after few months of use, yes indeed, its a bit harder to remove, but that indicates it sit on the screen better than the glue that comes with the whitestone packages, and the best experience i had with other tempered glass is the otao screen protector https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32803525878.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.532966b6VeqBkS#autostay
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jack1142:
I see there's a lot people with Neo Hybrid case. Could someone confirm after at least 2 weeks of usage, that it fits with Whitestone on S8 (I'm not interested with S8+ users opinion :p)?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cicatriz63:
So I finally bit the bullet and bought one of these after going through about 3 of the awful half adhesive crap ones out there. When I pulled the screen protector out of the box I noticed there are 4 small dots, 1 in each corner of the screen protector that are just slightly raised enough that you can see the film raised up around them. Anyone else have this issue? I'm assuming that this is a defect and don't want to waste the time putting it on if its not gonna work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jack1142:
You should take a photo of it and send message to seller and ask about it. I bought my one last week and I got it on Wednesday and foil is peeled off in the corner with tag and they gave me -99% promotion code for the same product and seller told me, that he will ask about it, cause he didn't see that before. Their support (at least on Amazon) is quite good, so you should try to send them a message ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cicatriz63:
Well I sent them an email and some pictures and they got back to me saying they were going to request a 99% code for me. Then I got another email saying that they spoke to a manager and that apparently these bumps are there to prevent the glue from running out and that they will disappear once its installed. I haven't seen anything about these mentioned anywhere else online so either they redesigned it or they are just full of crap. I just don't see how they will magically disappear. Guess I'll give the install a shot and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jack1142:
Could you send a photo there too, I'm interested, how it looks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cicatriz63:
Here's a few pictures. You can see the the film raised up around them and you can physically feel them if you rub your fingernail across them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jack1142:
If it isn't some kind of their new method, then it's really weird :o I haven't seen something like that before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cicatriz63:
Well I think I may have just been over worrying about things. I was finally able to find a video and it shows that same dots that do seem to disappear once installed. Guess I will give it a go and see what happens. In this video you can clearly see exactly what I'm referring to and once the adhesive hit it it seems to go away.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cookie1953:
Has it worked ? I was looking at it for the S8...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jtcb:
What tool do you use to file? So the defender failed to protect the glass?

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

There is interesting. I don't recall seeing it on the kit that I got last month from Amazon.ca. I got the original kit. I also just got the replacement kit. I will try on that and report back.

What are the dots for?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cicatriz63:
Yup, worked perfectly. Whitestone support said the dots were to prevent glue from running off. During normal use they completely disappear since they are on the black edge of the screen, but if you really really look for them you can faintly see them. Either way it is by far the best screen protector available. Zero loss in sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Cuthbert1069:
The previous flimsy plastic frame was terrible .. waste of 40quid..whitestone have since upgraded the install process , plus the frame set up is made of a tougher plastic ..still cheap.. but a thousand times better.. the new version is available on Amazon uk at larst too

Anyone found some place online where that mr screen protector can be purchased?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] FlatOutRU:
Got mine i few days ago. Looks like the new revision (installation like note 8). It by far the best glass(like the stock one) and good results BUT the dust that sticks to the adhesive annoy me along with that adhesive peels little off the edges ( using with no case)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] edelacruz:
Hi guys, maybe you can give me an advice with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I recently installed the Glass Dome Screen Protector and the adhesive accidentally poured on top of the phone's earpiece. Maybe you can suggest oh how to remove the adhesive safely? Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] tele_jas:
That happened to mine the first time I used, a similar (DIY) product.... I soaked it in alcohol, used a suction ball (like a turkey baster) and would do that every 10 minutes or so. I did that for several hours.... I never got all the glue out and ended up having to leave it upside down (face down) and cure it, then take a really thin needle and poke it into every single hole in the earpiece. I ended up breaking a few of the small holes and making them bigger holes, you can tell when you look closely at it :(

It still, to this day, doesn't sound as clear as my son's S8...But it's close. I learned after that, to put a piece of tape over the earpiece whenever doing that, or a similar, procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] edelacruz:
[MENTION=4978109]tele_jas[/MENTION]

Thanks for the info man. Sorry about what happened to your device. It sounds hard to remove this adhesive between the earpiece's holes. :(

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] edelacruz:
Thanks guys. The issue has been solved. Instead of using bubble gum, I tried using 3M double adhesive tape. It worked ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] tele_jas:
I tried chewing gum too, just got gum stuck down my ear piece too! :confused:

I eventually dug, most of, it out with small needle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] E.Cadro:
So I have a question for anyone who has had the Whitestone Glass protector on there phone for while. Do you still get the dust and crap build up along the edges like you get with the regular glass protectors with the glue just on the sides?

I ask because I ordered the Whitestone but already have a glass protector on my phone that I'm pretty happy with other then all the dust and build up on the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] giober98:
It depends on your case, if you have any. I am using it with Spigen's liquid crystal and it does build up on the edges a bit. Unless you meant underneath the glass on the edges, if that's the case I'm happy to report that there is no such issue!

I'm having a problem right now though, I had to remove the glass because my case was lifting it, is there any way I can get just the adhesive and reinstall it? (already removed it from the protector itself
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] B3501:
Yes, I have terrible dust build up around the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StewMaker:
Anyone get glue around the buttons before? Any suggestions on getting it out?

It hasn't affected the functions of the button but I'm worried it will long term.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] E.Cadro:
Must have gotten lucky when I ordered mine off Amazon it was only $29.99 now I see it back up to $44, Honestly thought they had just reduced the price. Installed mine last night was the new installation kit like the note 8. Went well just had to really take my time making sure there was no dust and following the directions but in the end went on perfect no bubbles or dust.

After reading about the problem with the dust build up along the edges over time I had thought why not take clear coat nail polish with a Model paint brush and carefully go along the sides and cover the tacky glue so I did tonight . So far so good no longer feels tacky on the edges, I did not do the top or bottom out of fear it would be to noticeable plus it seems the the sides are more of an issue when it comes to dust. I'll update in a few weeks and see how it hold up. As far as cases it does not work with the Spigen liquid air armor I can tell without even putting it on that the case will lift the screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] JamesR913:
Just noticed a scratch on my naked screen today, right in the middle. Figured I would give this a try and just ordered hopefully it works as good as people say. Does anyone have any idea if this might work with the Dbrand Grip I have on order?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] JamesR913:
Any one else notice that over time lines at the top of the screen start showing up. It looks like the glue is separating because when I push do in the area they go away
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] JamesR913:
This is what I am talking about. It initially started in the upper right corner and then slowly crept down and across. If I press soon it it goes away for a second but then comes right back. Anyone else experience this?View attachment 4448834
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] voxibanez:
I noticed the same thing too after a couple days of having the screen protector. It never got worse though, basically only two lines that were just above the actual screen. I just replaced mine (I dropped my phone and it shattered), so I will see if the lines come back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Freefallrlc:
I am thinking about getting one for my S9

So if you use heat to remove the glass again, how goes it work over time in warmer places? Like in summer, heat over 30 in holidays. I'd the glass getting loose or get bubbles? And how about the under sunlight readability? Same like the phone or getting worse?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] voxibanez:
They don't mention heat to remove the glass. They recommend pointing the phone screen away from your face (because glass dust goes everywhere when you remove it), then use your fingernail to pry on the edge of the glass and it eventually pops off. It's pretty tough to remove, it took multiple attempts at different places but once you get it started it comes off relatively easy. It hasn't gotten warm out yet, but I've been wirelessly charging it every night upright and the glass hasn't moved at all.

It's definitely the best screen protector I've ever had on any device, but it's pricey. Sunlight visibility is just as good as the glass on the phone. Because it uses a glue that fills the whole screen that dries clear, there are no issues with dots on the screen or the screen coming up in different places. It also fills in small scratches, I had some scuffs and one small chip in the screen and they're totally gone after putting on the protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] JamesR913:
I have to say at this point I don't think I can recommend this screen protector. While the clarity and responsiveness are second to none the lines appearing at the top and now the bottom are extremely distracting. I followed the instructions to a "T" and still have these lines at the top and bottom, extremely frustrating for the $ spent. I was so hopeful
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] richierich:
Try this, cheap and just as effective as the Whitestone one:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...53.m2749.l2649

No UV drying and curing of glue. Works like a proper glass screen protector, but with adhesive on the entire glass. So no problems with clarity, sensitivity or the need for the dots in the screen. Greatest value I've seen yet!

looks like a fraud more likely a $2 Chinese screen guard re branded to make a quick buck
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] richierich:
Right, to be fair, after taking a moment and not reading your comments as a negative Norman who doesn't trust or believe anyone, and looking at things from your perspective, I can see how you came to this conclusion. The packaging and advert for this is pretty darn similar to all the other cheapo screen protectors out there. But for once, I'm pleased to say that this isn't the case. This actually is a really good solution and is more akin to proper glass screen protectors with full screen adhesive, like you'd get for all other "non curved screen" phones (not film, nor glass with glue just around the edges). And as far as I know, the only reliable full adhesive glass screen protectors are these very same whitestone ones, which I'm sure we can all agree are pretty expensive. So for 9 quid, I'll take these and be very happy! Seriously though, I'd recommend giving it a try, but that's entirely up to you.

Oh and in case you're wondering....no, I'm not selling these, nor am I connected to anyone who is. Im just a regular consumer who's trying to offer some knowledge and help to others, as I previously stated, I think I've damn well tried them all and this is by far the best!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ruffnexx_uk:
Soooo sad.....ive had it on since October with no issue.....then got totally hammered on holiday....woke up in the morning to see scuffs and a huge crack...no idea what happened.....lol....so have to order another. ..also invoked the life time warranty hopefully whitestone will honour it..... however i must admit im grateful i had it on...but ive still got a few days of holiday left, so gotta be careful!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Praetore:
I've had this for several months now and a small drop cracked what seems to be inside the screen protector. When I touch the glass protector, it feels smooth, but there are visible cracks so it has to be the phone screen itself... very disappointing.

There is also another minor crack on the other side that I can touch and feel, so that makes me think that it is a crack in the protector, whereas the initial one managed to sneak past the protector and under a Spigen Hybrid case to make its way on the side metal as well.

how long does the oleophobic coating on whitestone domeglass last?

how long does the oleophobic coating on whitestone domeglass last?

and how long does oleophobic coating on screen protector last generally????

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] alpine101:
Tried one of these. Very disappointed, the item supplied does not match the supplier's picture and the box, unlike the ebay claim, does not mention 'full screen adhesive'. Simply does not fit well. Good contact on the middle inch and a half, but outside this it's the wrong shape to maintain contact and simply lifts back up when you apply the squeegee pad. Seller is now away until May 6th... I think I'll go back to the cheap plastic ones which at least stick all over. The previous poster who suggested that this is simply a cheap Chinese glass protector is probably right. I've asked the seller for a replacement or refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] richierich:
Wow, are you sure you ordered the right one? This doesn't even look like the same packaging. If they claim it is, then rightly so you should request a refund. I assure you the one I ordered and received fit perfectly, and it's on my device to this very day. Will post some pics later
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] alpine101:
The seller says he packages the protectors up himself so the cover varies. The protector is glass and does have some type of adhesive on the back. But it's simply not strong enough to enable the glass to bend along the edges to accurately match the profile of the phone. I sent him a picture of this and he has refunded me promptly. Possibly the adhesive on your batch was a stronger type. Before fitting I did of course clean the screen thoroughly with meths and then the alcohol wipe in the kit. Again, this phone was only made in March, possibly Samsung are using a new type of oleophobic coating which is also resistant to the adhesives.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] pewpewpat:
Whitestone's S9 revision has a few improvements to the installation process ([youtube]glOPokc6PeY[/youtube]).

Does anyone know if they've also included the updated installation process and components with the S8 product as well? Or, would the S9 protector work with an S8? I'm not aware of any differences between the two phones' screens, so I'm assuming they'd be cross compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] hunter12:
I ordered one from whitestone and the protector and the components i received are looking like the new version in the video for the s9.

Unfortunately they sent me a used set with cracks on the protector, so i did have to sent it back (thank you amazon for no response or excuses).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] HUNRain:
Is there anyone who tried the Whitestone S9 pack with the S8?

S9 and S8 is almost the same chassis, same display...

Happy and Sad

Hi,

I want to share my experiences with the Whitestone glass S8 version. I'm pretty happy, it's the first protector that satifyed me. But it is not perfect.

Stept by step i followed the applying process and nevertheless my screen has got an area with bubbles. They did not appear at first, but occur over time. (After 2 weeks of use on a very sunny day)

The seller just offered me a replacement for 23 dollar. I just researched and figured out, that they use some UV-Adhesive simular to tp-2500f and the screen protector (with nothing on it) which i already have.

My plan is to remove the adhesive with some LOCA UV-Adhesive remover and use the glass protector again. Fortunately i have got the second left over adhesive cane.

I hope that this will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] SeppGoPro:
There were no bubbles inside the adhesive. The screen was perfectly applied, but after two weeks the bubbles just appeared. According to whitedome it was an issue with invisible dust or dirt stick to the surface.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] rocky7st:
I've been a massive Whitestone Dome fan but just this weekend my phone hit the part that wasn't covered by the tempered glass. I thought I just had a minor crack there and the crack through the screen was just on the glass. Sadly not, I found the crack basically followed where the glass was right down to a straight crack on the side.

Despite this I still think it's the best of the tempered glass but I've got no confidence in it after this
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] gerrardokapulko:
I come from Zagg-patronage as well,pre-curves, and if they had a similar product that worked this well, then they would be getting my money. Hard to beat that no-questions-asked warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] blop135:
So I've just ordered the whitestone dome glass and putted it on my, pretty disapointed , after only 48 hours, little bubbles and signs of glue on both sides. 40€ for only 48 hours is kind of expensive. I asked a warranty's one, I hope it'll get better :/
