Does anybody have a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive, but potentially "good" case-friendly glass screen protector?

Obviously, with nobody yet having the devices themselves, it's going to be difficult to assess whether fit, etc, is good, but if anybody has experience of a brand/manufacturer that has done good things on other devices with non-flat screens, then that could be useful to know - I don't plan to use my Note 8 without some protection, and I've always found plastic protectors to be poor with regard to feel and their oleophobic properties, and often attract dust.

I'm thinking I'll get something that will more than likely be cheap, but reasonably performing, until such time as there are reviews of different protector models with experience of being used on the Note 8 before committing myself to a bigger purchase, such as a Zagg or a Whitestone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I think the only logical screen protector will be those ones that are similar to paint protection film applied on cars. I put one on my wifes S8, didnt look too bad, Used a bit of heat from the hairdryer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Plastic protectors seem to fall into two categories; stretchy "military grade" stuff which can be a bit "orange peely" and grippy to the touch, and a film which seems to offer less protection, but suffer from finger prints.

Best plastic I've seen is the iCarez on the Note 4, which gave good protection and feel, but was a bit of a dust magnet.

Hello guyz. I have ordered and waiting delivery of the Olixar Sentinel Case with Olixar Screen Glass Screen Protector package.

Does anyone have experience with the Olixar Screen Protector? The edges of the glass cover the whole edged screen?

Should I order the Whitestone and use this instead? Is it really the best choice comparing to the others and why? It covers the whole edged screen? What about clarity? I read a lot about it, from the best reviews to people getting imperfections after the application etc. and for its price tag I hesitate to order it. In few words lets say all screen protectors had the same price, would you go for the Whitestone one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Jammol:
Here's my plan. I've always done this on all of my devices.

I have the Unicorn Beetle that has the terrible built in protector. I want to get a full coverage protector that I can use in place of the built in one, which I will be yanking out.

So based on what I've been reading, you guys are saying that type of setup wouldn't work?

Got the 'invisible shield' glass curve from ZAGG at the verizon store when I bought my phone 5 hours ago.

After about an hour I wanted to rip the POS off and throw it away but I have 14 days to find another or none at all.

The right side of the screen requires too much pressure for it to work and makes typing impossible, plus the edge doesn't work.

I have another post with the initial review of it so far. Just wanted you to know since you expressed interest. I'll probably update the review by the end of the week
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
That's weird, I've been using same one for about 1-2 weeks. So far, knock on wood, I haven't had any sensitivity problems, edges stay put and has been an overall pleasant experience. I dunno, maybe I just can't tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] CB620:
I have the Orzly tempered glass. Best one I've tried. Wraps around the screen and plays very well with case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gen3benz:
I actually removed it and re-installed and it seems to work better. The 2 minutes I had it off and was using the uncovered screen was amazing though. There has to be a better way to protect it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
People have had luck going the cheap TGSP and LOCA route but this one isn't annoying me enough for me to try it. Maybe if it ever starts to come off I'll try it out.

Nuglas Tempered Glass for Note8

Hi!

Just sharing my experience. I like using Nuglas tempered glass have had great experiences with it. So I always pay the extra few bucks for the Nuglas brand.

I'm so disappointed it didn't live up to it!

I made sure I lined up the glass perfectly right in the middle, centered to the top/bottom and right/left. Perfectly aligned - Woohoo... too bad the side edges does not go all the way. I lose 1mm of screen on each side. Which means I lose 3mm all up! (because of the 0.5mm I can't touch on each side!)

Anyhow wanted to let everyone know the Nuglas is good but it doesn't go edge to edge, even though it's advertised as edge to edge. :crying:

Some photos for those who are interested:

In the photos I used the TRANSPARENT version, but I bought a black edged version for my partner. Guess they're both useless now! This is the packaging for the Nuglas I purchased https://ibb.co/g69a65
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
It doesn't look very case friendly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] daizazz:
Surprisingly it is case friendly, silly thing is I can feel the gap between the tempered glass, gap then case. ?

Something else I noticed is the Nuglas causes the notification pull down motion to become a little stiff. I'll leave it on for another day to see how I go but so far all signs point to me removing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] force70:
That looks terrible..why they would design it like that is beyond me...it ruins the entire appearance of the display.

The WhiteStone Dome is my favourite tempered glass SP, got mine here: http://www.mobilefun.com/whitestone-dome-glass-galaxy-note-8-full-cover-screen-protector-64792

My only problem with it was the cost but I think it was worth it....

I know a lot of people don't want to spend that kind of money though so I've heard that this is a great budget alternative (had it on my S8 and it was great): https://www.olixar.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-case-compatible-glass-screen-protector

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Warlord1981:
I just received the Olixar Sentinel Case + Screen Protector. The case is ok (not the quality of Spigen but its nice), but the Glass Screen Protector is EXACTLY like yours... Does not cover the entire Edged Screen, has this vertical line on both sides and has the annoying dots all over its surface.

I was hoping that I would avoid the WhiteStone because of the price and its liquid adhesive that makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but it turns out it's the only solution.. RIP $$ :(

Unless someone else has to propose another glass..

PS. There is a lot of mockery going on by the Screen Protector companies with low quality & poorly designed products, that only want to take advantage of your caring/protection for your expensive device. Even WhiteStone that is supposed to be the best one, its protectors have issues with some users and of course costs a lot! I am sick of them and I was gonna leave my phone's screen naked this time but then again its a 1k $ phone.. (talking about taking advantage of us again)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] RobZ66:
Thanks for the review. I received the same olixar. If you decide to take the protector off to redo it or get dust off, be careful. Mine cracked as I was wiping it with their blue sticker . Ugh...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] daizazz:
so I reached out to the seller to see if I can return the unused glass. They've replied and said.

.. ...Our product is case friendly so it has small gap for the case fit in...... So FYI for case friendly seekers. Note I still saw a tiny slit of unprotected screen between the case & screen protector.

that sucks! I've done that before too, at least with this one it'll hurt a little less coz it's already imperfect

I ordered it since September 17th. My mistake. The worst customer service I've ever seen. When I ordered from their website, it was available. They never sent me a shipping confirmation. After a few days, I emailed them, they replied to me that my order was placed into back order. I waited for 9 days. I did not receive the shipping confirmation. So, I tried to cancel my order asked for full refund. They sent me email and saying that the order was shipped on September 26. Still no tracking number, but I paid $5 shipping. They said it would take 8 days to get the package. Nobody knows when. I don't even know they really ship the item. Very bad experience with that company. I should have bought Whitestone from Amazon. Anyone who reads this, stay away from this brand if you don't want to go through what I went through.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Warlord1981:
Had similar experience! When ordered I got no email confirmation with invoice/receipt nor a shipping notification! To get an email receipt I had to open a support ticket! Also the package was supposed to arrive in 4-8 working days but it did in 12! And of course i couldnt track it all this time cause they couldnt provide a tracking no. In few words i had the note 8 for 2 weeks and couldnt use it! And at the end the screen protector is a joke! Case is ok. Not Spigen quality but its ok.

I personally don't mind the dot matrix given that I'm only paying $3 per protector. The screen on the note 8 is also not as curved as the s8 plus so the side adhesive protectors I've purchased so far have not been falling off or letting in a huge amount if dust. Still waiting for cheaper full adhesive solutions.

Is this a 2 part TPU case or hard case?

Ebay sells these for less than $2 bucks. I've been wanting to try one of these but afraid sensitivity would be crap.

Check the edges when typing or writing.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zedexdriver98:
It's a 2 part TPU case. The sensitivity is very good - obviously not the same as having a bare screen but I found it surprisingly good! No problems with the S pen or typing. I would say it's worth getting one that is relatively thin though, I'm not sure how well it would work if it was any thicker than the one that I used.

With the glass being what it is, do you guys feel a screen protector is essential with this phone? What about just getting a case that allows you to lay the phone face first and not make contact with any surfaces..?? I'm in the air on getting a screen protector, but the AT&T salesman was telling me it's really not essential due to the glass properties of the screen.. Still probably gonna get one tho lol..

Ironic, as I do live on Fort Myers Beach and have used my LG V20 with Gorilla Glass almost every day the past year and don't have one scratch on it lol.. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I probably do take a lot better care of my phones than most others.. ::knock on wood::

I think tempered glass protectors are awesome as they saved my wife's iphone multiple times, but I just find that with curved screens they are hit/miss for the most part.. Many threads on here also verify that assumption..

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Gorilla Glass gets its strength through an interesting chemical process. Corning dips each sheet into a molten salt bath where a chemical exchange occurs. Potassium ions are infused into the glass. At the same time, sodium ions exit the glass.

^^
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Huey85:
Nice copy and paste job there. But seriously, if you do a google search and searches in the XDA you will see that people do get scratches, cracks and chips in their screens. Being Gorilla Glass doesn't make it scratch proof, crack proof, shatter proof, or idiot proof.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
I've had the Zagg curved glass on mine for about 3 weeks and also been pretty solid so far. I think they are hit or miss though and here's why - I got a replacement for mine as the oleophobic coating just isn't up to par, and the new one was noticeably worse at sticking to the edges than the one I currently have. I ended up keeping the original and sending back the new one, no loss since I had the shipping fee waived on the other one. However, that might be why some people have a good experience with Zagg and some not so good.

I use two tempered glass screen protectors so far, both are unsatisfactory, they lower the screen touch sensitivity and dust gather at the side. I don't use any screen protector now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] StevePritchard:
It seems that the only screen protection mechanism that is satisfactory is one that uses loca glue cured by UV light.

Although some protectors with full adhesive are starting to appear, it seems that they suffer from installation problems, or don't adhere properly. It think that most people seem to agree that the TGSPs that just have adhesive around the edge are unsatisfactory - they come off easily, have microdots which can be visible in certain lights, and generally reduce screen sensitivity.

The loca options are limited - there's only the one commercial option currenly; the Whitestone Dome (which I can thoroughly recommend), but it certainly isn't cheap and some people complain that the installation is problematic.

The other loca-based option is DIY. I suspect the quality of the results will vary massively when people attempt to do it themselves. There will be differences based on the actual glass chosen, and the variety of the loca glue.

Certainly from my experience with the Whitestone Dome, I would have thought the less-viscose glue is the way to go, and I've found it very easy to "touch up" my edges as the capillary action simply draws the liquid glue into the space between screen and protector - I'm not sure why we didn't think of this a couple of years ago when we were all struggling with halo on our Note 4s.

Cheers,

Steve.

It's fit perfectly with otterbox defender but glue is weak on edges and don't stick properly. No, case don't touch screen, it's a perfect gap around screen and case. It's just that glass has wrong curve on edge and glue can't stick properly.

Touch is great, not so difficult to put, but edges are disaster. It's what should be use with curved screen instead just glue around. Because is only one product to try like that and failes ( quality of curves). I'm going to use LOCA.
