I hate to burst anyone's bubble but those nano solutions are basically bottles of snake oil. Might as well rock it naked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
Kinda hard to prove one way or the other, I'd rather spend my $ on a nano coating & take my chances vs any screen protector,can't stand the looks or feel of 'em.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kawaisa:
It's pretty easy to prove actually. Cover one side with the coating and one without. Attempt to scratch it and see what happens. It's been done before and it's snake oil.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
Speaking from experience, or, watching You-Tube videos?

I'm not purposely going to try to scratch my display or destroy my phone in any way to prove a point.

The people who do so are morons, doing it for nothing more than shock value & clicks.

Yes, the nano coatings provide less protection than screen protectors, no argument there.

But, to say there's no benefit, you really can't prove one way or the other, less the idiotic scratch tests.

I've been using them for over two years now & haven't had so much as a blemish on any phone I've used & I've been through at least 30 in that time frame.

So, I dare say my "proof" that it works is no more or less valid than your "proof" that they don't......

I'm considering getting this stuff, it's a hybrid but sounds like more of a plexiglass product.

https://youtu.be/ksCnb3xlKU4

I've been talking to the company and sounds like they will release it shortly or when the phone comes out to public. All I know is lots of people complain the s8 is fragile so I hope that this phone is less fragile, and that I can find good protection for it. No one wants to drop a phone, and any protection has to be better then no protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
I would try that, especially if it comes w/black trim vs the silver shown in the video.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] force70:
Thats interesting...wonder how well it works with the Spen?

Does it drag and leave indents like with most non glass protectors.

Would be cool for my S8 plus especially if i can get it in gold....hate the black front much prefer the look of the S7 and note 7/FE .

For now my whitestone glass protector is working well though on the ole S8 plus

I just bought a bodyguardz arc tempered glass screen protector. It does have the black edges along the top and bottom of the screen protector and adhesive that goes around the outside edges (nothing new). I'm hoping with the steeper screen curves it might fit better.

If this doesn't work I'll try both zagg's tempered glass and plastic HD one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
It does, black and I belive clear too. I can ask them tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kawaisa:
The Denobates is basically a thick PET. Not tempered glass or anything like that. They're available on Aliexpress. They're better than wet protectors since they tend not to get indents from your nails or the s-pen but I haven't seen any of these that are case-friendly. In the case of the S8+, my UAG case kept lifting the protector. It's full screen coverage, which is a bad thing since that means it's not case-friendly.

These would be perfect if they start producing case-friendly versions. Still not smooth or hard like tempered glass, but not soft like the wet application ones.

I tried putting a pic from their Facebook site in that has the different layers of it but cant for some reason. Either way whatever the product is I'm excited to try it when it comes out. I'll try to put in a review on it so we can get real world results out. I'm not gonna try to drop it though lol that's out of the question
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Circlel05:
It was on my N7. If I don't like the tempered glass I will go back to it soon as it's available. I've had it on my S7e since October and NO scratches or cracks. Oilfield is not phone friendly.

FYI sammy's phones are not only waterproof, but also oil proof. Lol

At Amazon UK there are lots of Note8 screen protectors with 5 star reviews. We don't even have the Note8 here in UK yet!!!! So probably false reviews or paid reviews.

Samsung Mobile Accessory Partnership Program - Araree Tempered Glass protector

I ordered two of this screen protector. It's made in Korea and Araree tempered glass screen protector is being sold in Samsung Service Center in Korea. So far, zoarah.com is only a seller who is shipping abroad to out of Korea for now (I believe). Araree said this protector is compatible with all Samsung branded Note8 cases except the Alcantara case.

I also ordered Otterbox Defender case and Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy Note 8 cases. I'll see how it works on these cases.

The cases are currently on the way to Florida (5 to 10 delivery dates)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Gynomagick:
verizon is selling one. I had used it on my S7. It probably saved my screen, since i dropped my phone the tempered glass cracked and not the actual screen. However, it looks terrible. Didnt cover entire screen and had permanent air bubbles.

ZAGG Glass Curve

I had a horrible time on my S8+ with the Zagg Curve falling and cracking but the redesigned for the Note 8 so I bit the bullet to try it.

It is thicker, black and the top and bottom and the adhesive has been changes and doesn't look ugly as it did on the S8+ edition.

It comes with a plastic slip on guide device and fits perfectly.

There is a fine dot matrix that I only see in certain light outdoors when the screen isn't lit. Zero off of sensitivity on the touch screen.

So far after two days I am impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Khwoo685:
How about case compatibility? Are you using a case? If so which one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] RMXO:
I agree that Whitestone is overpriced but it has saved me twice from a fall. Protector cracked but not the screen. Guess that can be consider a worthy investment for a phone that nearly cost a 1k.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kawaisa:
A lot of "resellers" are coming out with the ones that come with guides. They're all from a few manufacturers in Shenzhen so Zagg isn't selling anything groundbreaking. If you're spending that much on a Zagg then might as well spend that much on a Whitestone I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] remmy5r:
Where is a good place to buy the Whitestone? Only place I can find is mobilefun.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mike02z:
Skip this one folks. Fits well, covers well, works with a case but you have to basically pound on the keys. Loses all sensitivity. AVOID!

When I first saw this protector I thought 50 bucks was crazy for a screen protector. Then I realized that I tried 10 different glass screen protectors for my Pixel XL before I found the best one. I went back and looked at my Amazon orders and spent about 120 bucks on screen savers for my XL. When I thought about it from that point of view, 50 is pretty cheap for a quality protector. I ordered one from eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] RMXO:
Exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pyraxiate:
I've always had tgsp on my phones except the s7e because of the curve. That said. I'm using the glass one that came with my zizo bolt ( love this case! ). It also glues to the edges but it fits perfectly with their case. It doesn't touch the sp. No touch sensitivity loss, no rainbow, and no bubbles. They're is a slight visible glue line on both side edges but it's negligible and I'm picky.

I think it fits so well because the edges are less curved and there is no home button.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Rafy186:
I've tried it in 2 smartphones already. Works perfect and total costs is about $25. These are the items I purchase:

1 - Octopus LOCA Glue in Amazon or eBay

2 - Any Tempered Glass ( Would be nice to get one with a template to make the installation easier)

3 - 36 Watt UV Light. But any would do, just depends on how long it'll take to dry.

Takes a lot of work. Prepping begins by putting very good adhesive tape in all openings such as speakers, microphones, headphone jack, ect. This is a must do, as you do not want to get LOCA glue into your speaker grill or speaker. One must use anywhere between 2-4mL of LOCA glue in the center of your phone and then place it carefully. I have been using a capitlized letter "I" to make sure the adhesive gets into the entire screen, but sometimes gets messy. Any bubbles that appear under the screen put pressure and try to remove them by squeezing to the corners. Once you are comfortable with the the tempered glass installation go ahead and put it for about 2 minutes in the UV Light. Then remove it and clear up any excessive glue coming off the sides, now that the glue is hard but not too hard. Then clean the tempered glass with alcohol pads/cotton so the screen is clear and the curing is better. Finally put the phone once again for about 3-5 minutes in the UV light for finish.

sadly i can't find any good loca glue on german amazon. everything has bad reviews. fml
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] invisiblesense:
I've ordered one from them. Tracking shows it should be in stock within 2 days in UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] chrisknife:
whitestone themself said on their facebook page that it's available on september 15th. so if you can wait and want to buy from amazon, wait one more week...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] invisiblesense:
These reviews are definitely fake. As you say, the phone is not even available in UK so how can people possibly gave 5 star reviews.. I'm convinced most reviews on Amazon are fake.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] kraamerica:
So I received and installation was a snap. HOWEVER - ADHESIVE SHOWS on the edges! I don't know if this is a bad piece and I will reach out to the vendor. Utube video does not show it in the review posted, but it's on mine. Pic isn't the greatest, but you can see the "lines" on the edges on both sides.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] chrisknife:
you will have this with every glass protector since this is how they work. they got the adhesive on the edges and it's visible.

some brands try to cover it up with coloured edges but well that is no option either.

whitestone, tpu or nothing.

found this and will try it

i know it will be thicker glue then on whitestone but it's still possible to do it with this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Rafy186:
I wouldn't waste my money. I have 20mL of 2500 in my room which I dont plan on using. Very thick and difficult to install. Tried one installation and it was a mess which I just scrapped halfway. Sweet spot is 1000 to 1500.

damn it :( thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] kraamerica:
Not true. The Euramask one I'm using on my S8+ does not as I stated on page 5. I will get pics tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] chrisknife:
of course it's the same. read the reviews on amazon for the eurpmask.

it does only stick to the edges and since this protector has a black bar on the edges they try to cover the adhesive with it.

and to know that you don't even need to read the reviews. you can but you don't have to.

this is with every single glass protector no matter if s8/s8+/note 8. they are all the same just with different names and brands.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Pinu'u:
Why didn't you check eBay ? There is a lot of loca 1000 even here in Germany.

Still don't know if I should go the loca way... I'm a protector nightmare and my first trys end mostly in a mess... Is the tempered class still usable if I did line it up wrong and need to redo the whole thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rbeavers:
It's nice, But doesn't work with the Other Box .001 inches to big.?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Rafy186:
Just know that its actually easier to install LOCA protectors than adhesive ones. Reason is the liquid in between is not glued yet(solified) so you have time to fix until you UV light the LOCA. Add in the curves are measured on both sides perfectly and all you mostly have to do is adjust a few millimeters up/down. By doing that you would need to probably use a little more glue.

I think the Whitestone Dome Glass is accepted as being the class of the field, but it's not cheap. £47 on Amazon, but it uses adhesive that is cured by UV light.

The rest are cheaper, but seem to be much of a muchness.

Put a TGSP on my note the day it arrived 9/6. Last night at work phone fell out of my shirt pocket and landed screen down in gravel. TGSP shattered butthankfully screen has no marks on it.

So my wife and I both got a Note 8 on 9/5/17. I ordered her this exact amFilm Glass for her phone from Amazon and waited for the Whitestone Dome for mine. Ordered mine from Newegg the 1st day they where in stock. I can say there is no comparison between them. Besides having the black bars top and bottom for the adhesive on hers, I can also see the tiny dots when held at an angle with light. It also produces fingerprints more. The Whitestone Dome on the other hand (very first time having one or applying one) is perfect. I think it's actually better than the original screen as it's a bit more slick with the stylus and it doesn't show fingerprints near as much. I'm completely sold on Whitestone Dome. I read the forums on here early and took people's suggestion - thanks guys!

I got the supcase tempered glass and they are nice... it has the dot matrixes in them but the sensitivity is not bad at all. I don't have to hammer on the screen either to type and the SPen works without issues. I don't think they make tempered glass without dot matrix now do they?

Have it on right now. Not impressed with the screen responsiveness. He's saying in his follow up video comments that people aren't applying it correctly... whatever.

It looks great, I'll give it that. I don't see the dot matrix whatsoever.

But it's just not as reactive as the native screen. The Spigen NeoFlex was 300% better for touch-reaction. I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of my DIY materials for my LOCA-adhered TGSP, so I can pull this thing off.

Also, what is the difference between Whitestone and the "IvisibleShield Curve Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note8" at Best Buy as they are the same price? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Dark4rce-2:
He states he bought his from Newegg at the beginning of his post. And it sounds like the InvisibleShield is a Zagg product since it's trademarked. I checked Newegg and they didn't have any Whitestone's last night. They have them on Amazon for $45.

I meant to say beside Whitestone. That's a bit too pricey in my wallet... the supcase is actually pretty decent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Dark4rce-2:
I said I was going to go with the Proton series due to the screen protector. After checking the reviews, I've changed my mind. I ordered the Spigen Tough case and think I'm going to go with the Whitestone Dome. I've read reviews about the Zagg and some here and in the reviews keep stating they can see lines. Not sure why there are lines except somehow during manufacturing lines are being created? Zagg has the best warranty but don't want lines. I had a crack appear on my Note5's screen protector (Zagg) once. Drove me nuts til I replaced it. I bought an Omoton that time. Still on there and have had no issues. It's on an essentially flat screen. So, no big issues there. But I'll watch all the videos and read all the instructions on here I can to get the process down for the Whitestone. Also, will keep Loca glue in mind. Not sure I want to make a boo boo with that and screw up my phone. My phones will get here on 9-19. Thanks for all the info!
