I am glad that you have started beeing more on forums and social media. I want to thank you for sending me a new one. Now i am waiting for it. Hope this time works.

To be honest, it will be difficult to actually get most tempered glass protectors to stay on this curved glass.. Its a pain and it sucks because I would actually like to get one. I just ordered the whitestore myself..., but they wont be in stock again until the 30th...

I got the PowerPeak Base and it is utter garbage. I lost atleast 30% touch sensitivity and then it just eventually slid off of my phone from me trying to swipe so hard. The middle actually dried up and there was nothing holding the middle to the phone.

I despise the wet installs. They are too soft and will leave indents as you said.. So really its either try tempered glass protectors until you find the one you want, go with indents and wet installs, or just go no screen protector like me!

I have the wet install spigen ones but I tbh would rather go with no protector than use them.

I ordered and installed this on my Note 8 : https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G1W2RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Along with a Spigen Tough Armor case. It seems to work well and no real screen sensitivity issues either.

I get the case friendly 2pack. And havent had problems with lifting.

Had my note 8 since sept 8 and been caseless and no lifting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mike02z:
Anyone planning on using a cheap protector with LOCA glue needs to check the strength of the LOCA. Some have reported they were not able to remove the protector after using some LOCA glue.

I had 3 attempts at the Dome Glass myself. The first one I got had a broken bridge. I could not get the glue in the right spot. Whitestone refunded me. I bought the next set from Amazon. Everything was perfect until I peeled the plastic off the back of the protector. There must have been a fleck of dirt near the side. I did not see it as I did not have enough light.

I sent the second one back to Amazon and just had to pay return shipping. With the third one I took a different approach. I used a totally level counter top in the bathroom. I ran the shower with hot water for about 10 minutes so the whole bathroom was steamed up. This kept the dust down. I cleaned the phone screen and when I removed the plastic from the protector, it somehow grabbed another piece of dirt. Due to the extreme lighting, I saw it and removed it before installing. It installed perfectly with no dust/dirt or air bubbles. I did the first cure with the UV light then took it out of the jig and wiped the sides, top and bottom with an alcohol pad. I then did the final cure. Not one ounce of glue seeped out. I did not protect the speaker or anything else. If this is done perfectly, this is the absolute best protector available IMHO. The problem is anything short of a perfect install will drive many of us with OCD crazy.

On Monday we traded in my Mothers iPhone and she went with a Note 8. The Dome Glass arrived today. This time, perfect install the first time. I wish Whitestone would include 2 pieces of glass per package since this is the most expensive Note 8 protector. Their CS is a bit slow but they did take care of me in the end. It's a bit of a ripoff to sell the kit for 49 but then only sell the glass and one tube of glue for 39. The refill pack should be 15-20 at the highest.

After a week, none of my edges are lifting at all. Some may be using cases that are not compatible. My protector does not touch my case at anyplace. I think cases that touch the protector have a good chance of raising the edges. Even if the case looks fine after install, if grabbing it makes the case touch the glass, it will eventually lift and get bubbles.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] JohnnyNZ:
I use the Zagg invisible shield. After a week it's not lifting and was really easy to put on. Someone at work got the same one (they were on launch special for the Note 8) and they didn't follow instructions and they have a lot of lost sensitivity.

I really like the zag but understand some people don't like it and yes their S8 ones were terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Just installed my second replacement illumishield clear wet application film. I think this is the best it's going to be with this brand. Clarity wise its very good. But it doesn't cover as much as the orange peel Spigen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] YesThisIs:
Where did you get that? I tried to lookup on the web but only mannaged to find S8 protectors....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072WC2B8Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If the Spigen one was as clear clarity wise, I would have used that one instead in all honesty.

I also used a hairdryer on medium to low setting to gently finish the install using my thumbs to get the edges down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] YesThisIs:
That looks pretty good! Is there any issues with the smoothness or does the S-pen leave marks to the protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
If I press hard it does leave marks.

Glass Screen Protector with Installation Tray - Works GREAT!

I have tried several of the Glass Screen Protectors and finally found a Glass Screen protector that really works great, Better than any I have used so far and I have tried several. This is a "dry" installation - no mess - no liquids to put on the screen. Because it is a curved screen protector the glass screen protoector adheres on the sides, top and bottom only. But they apparently put enough 'adhesive" on the sides, top and bottom to make sure the screen installs, holds firmly and stays installed. Yes, I am am also using a case - 'thin' case that provides enough protection and doesn't interfere with the screen.

Black trim at the top, sides and bottom - this glass screen protector comes with an installation tray that facilitates getting the glass screen protector placed exactly right on the phone's screen and it is made for use with 'thin' cases.

YOu can find them here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G1W2RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are made by AM FILM - and they work GREAT. No Dead Spots - great responsiveness when typing, with fingers and the SPen - it really is an exceptional screen protector for the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jsalatas:
For anyone who (like me) prefers matte screens, I would highly recommend the IQ Shield Matte Full Coverage Anti-Glare Screen Protector. Easy to apply, 100% bubble free and fingerprint resistant. Of course as it is Matte, the screen is still readable and reflection free even under direct sunlight.

Oh! Also, it can be combined perfectly with the Spigen Tough Armor Case ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Warlord1981:
Thx for the review! Can anyone else confirm this? Seems it has mixed reviews in Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Fourstarzzzz:
Bought this and love it ....spen works great and screen looks the same as naked. Works with my ringke wave case too

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Geekser:
.

FYI......My review was unsolicited..I say this only to make sure people don't think I got free product to say nice things. Also, This is the second time I installed this screen protector and had equal results both times. The first was with my original note 8 I bought that was missing OEM unlock. I returned that phone..bought a new Note 8 from Clove and then bought another And ill glass screen protector and installed it. Easy installation both times and both times ZERO problems. (I Got this screen protector initially because I had installed a screen protector from this same company on my old S8plus and I had been very satisfied with how well it worked.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Warlord1981:
Thanks for the info :) can you please post some pics especially from the fitting on the edges? I already ordered the whitestone but I would like an alternative :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
Does it have a rainbow effect?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Geekser:
Not that I have seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] johnwayne27:
I got the iq shield version 1 or 2(cant remember. Its the one that says edge to edge. Covers ENTIRELY and have a dbrand skin on the back. With exception of edges, it covered from scratches. NO spen marks btw as long as you let it cure overnight after installing. I can verify and have tested this hardcore after 24 hours. The skinomi absolutely did get spen marks :(

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Go with iq shield. I have tried both. If going caseless, get the edge to edge(i would recommend a dbrand skin for the back tho). No spen marks after 12 hour cure. No rubbery feel and cant tell its there like the case friendly ones. Plus, even if you screw up both of them- if you explain that you messed them up or kept getting dust they will send a replacement free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] furfmonkey:
my neighbor got the invisibleshield zagg curve installed at best buy. I am getting this one put on my phone tomorrow! it was perfect! spen worked fine no issues with home button or dropping down notification screen etc.. i mean its $50 ($35 if you price match amazon) and has a lifetime guarantee (best buy will put a new one on for me free for lifetime) after zagg mails it to me (i spoke to the phone center rep as long as i kept my receipt)

thats the best deal out there period.

all this pouring liquids on a $1000 phone and using 3m removers than can MELT your phone? no fing way..

edit: i will post pics after i get it installed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] twistanesh:
I kinda feel like they're the exact same company with different names. They have the same looking product, same price, same website design, same "yahoo" store setup, same cuts and versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] robroy90:
I installed my Whitestone today, and I am fairly impressed with it. I did the install in a steamy bathroom to reduce dust, and I also put a piece of tape over the earpiece (Thanks for that tip!). The install went fairly well, but I did end up with a few very small bubbles I can see if I hold the phone with the screen off at just the right angle. It is by no means perfect, but it is much better that the other 2 glass protectors I had tried so far. They would not stay in place, and the pen-tile/graph paper look of the one I was using most recently was far more annoying than the faint bubbles I have now. I would definitely buy a Whitestone again, and I might try one more application attempt if my OCD takes over, but so far it hasn't. I just wish for the days of a perfectly flat screen again, like my Note 5. I can't say I am fan of the rounded screens - regardless of how much better they allegedly are.

Anyone using a glass screen protector with the Otterbox defender?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ykman1:
I am using the invisible defender. After researching a bit I came to the conclusion that if you want to use a glass protector then you can't have a case and vise versa. The options are way too limited for cases and the Whitestone is the only "quality" glass I have seen that has full adhesive. I decided it was better to have a good case and just use a regular protector. And after looking around a but I decided on the invisible defender due to it being able to wrap around the phone so it won't have any peal up issues and such like others. It was very sticky at first but after the days go by the stickiness "dies down" a bit and in my opinion is worth dealing with for the sake of having a good protector. Also, the protector just wraps around the sides and not top and bottom, which would be nice, at least for the top since the device has the room for it. I will also add that 99% of the bubbles did go away, there's just a few very tiny ones that did't that can hardly be noticed.. Unless your not going to pick and choose what's most important to you, I don't think you'll ever get what your looking for 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] YesThisIs:
Some bad news. After 1-2 weeks of using Whitestone Dome, the Alcantara case i have (Which doesn't touch the glass) It's having some distortion effects on the right side when viewing white content.... This wasn't there before and i am starting to think that this is because the glass is starting to lift up. :(

So... One bubble after i have done everything i can. And after 1-2 weeks it's starting to peel off. (Also from the bottom corners) Very disappointed. This was suppose to be the best screen protector for Note 8 in the market. And this is the result for 50€ product.

I am not sure if i even wan't new Whitestone Dome. Even if they send me one for free... BTW i tried to contact them 1,5 weeks ago, when they suggested that i should contact them if i am willing to give another try. I sended private message thru XDA and Email. No answer.... So i am guessing that this isn't due user error, but a flaw on the product(?)

TL;DR Whitestone Dome is too much of an hassle to install. And even if you try 3. times there is no guarantee that you will get successful installation. After you get it 99% correct, in 1-3 weeks expect that your case can and probably will lift the screen protector off.

I am getting iq shield in 1-2 weeks time. (shipping from US to EU is slow) After i get it will remove the whitestone and install the IQ one and report my experiences.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Huey85:
Same here. They're completely ignoring their customers...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BPRN:
I got the Zagg glass screen protector. It is crystal clear. I bought it at Best Buy (electronics store) for $40. They applied it and it is perfect. It works without interference with the Spigen Thin Armor stand case and the IPulse leather folio.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] DAvid_B:
I found the invisible defender way too rubbery for me.

This one seems less rubbery, but finger oil does trend to pool a little and cause rainbows. Easy enough to wipe clean though.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zige:
Well i have, or had, Alcantara case too and it touched dome from bottom right corner and thats why i got couple micro-small bubles on corner. After changing case it didnt go bigger. But it was definetely Alcantara which lifted littlebit for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] mldiroff:
I am. I like the case a lot. I tried the UAG Plasma Ice and it cracked the upper corner of the Zagg screen protector. The Defender went on, carefully, without cracking the glass any further.

EDIT: sorry, using the Commuter, not the Defender.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Which glass screen protector do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] mldiroff:
I misspoke. I'm using the Commuter, not Defender from OB. The Commuter fits great. I have the Zagg Invisibleshield glass screen protector. Got it at Best Buy and had them install it.

I was just thinking about doing that the other day and was wondering if anyone tried doing it. I've got the full coverage glass but the touch sensitivity is horrible. Any tips on how much Loca to use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Gialandon:
Come on folks. Why are we still using screen protectors? Gorrila glass will protect your phone. Just trust it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pyraxiate:
Yeahhhhhhh no. Gorilla glass IS more shatter resistant, but it's softer as a result. This means you will get micro scratches. My note 7 got a couple before I turned it in. Got scratched from something in the pocket with it. I would rather keep the glass on my expensive device clear and new rather than live with scratches.

Now, that said, I've found the the best way to install one of the cheapo edge adhere protectors is to get the device very warm and put on some weight so the adhesive becomes more tacky and sticks better. I ran a benchtest with the screen on high brightness for about 10 minutes and got things pretty toasty. Then stick the glass on and used 2 small coasters , placing a stone morter / pestle bowl on top ( roughly 10 lbs ). It adhered perfectly and no clicks in the corners, and no loss of sensitivity. I'll live with the edge adhesive type until something like the dome becomes more affordable.

Side note, if the dome gets scratched or cracked, it's a lot of work removing all that glue I bet. I was using an invisible shield / IQ shield on the screen which works well but after using it with the stylus , I saw all the lines and marks. They eventually fade a bit but the glass type seems to do a better job. I still have the rest of the IQ shield full body wrap on though. Definitely a good product.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Gialandon:
To each their own but I'd like to share a couple of photos of my old original note. I purchased this used for the kids and it been used and abused by my kids (now 2 and 4). My wife used it for a while when her phone died so it was in her bag with keys etc. Dropped everywhere , and had everything dropped on it.

It's got 3 small scratches all together. but nothing you can see with the screen on. As I said to each their own but I won't be putting a screen protector on my note 8.

Small? That's pretty large to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pyraxiate:
Yep. My son is using my note 3 as we speak. It still looks 100% brand spanking new. Not even a scratch on the bezel.

I always use a clear full body wrap ( IQ shield / invisible shield / etc ). Then a glass protector. And then an OtterBox defender or equivalent. I'm less worried about sleek than I am protection. I work in a volitile environment and my phones hit concrete daily. That note3 has literally hundreds of drops onto asphalt / pavement and not a scratch to show.

Clear wrap is an extra cushion layer plus keeps the dust from getting between the phone and case scratching up the edges. All in all, worth every penny.

I just took my phone from him to snap some pics lol

Surprisingly he hasn't even scratched the protector in the 4 months he has had it. That said, I've scratched them....so I know they help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] brockyneo:
Is that a case with a built in screen protector? I only ask as I've tried both wet and glass and not happy up to now so was thinking of a case with a protector built in

My only concern is will dust ect get in between the protector and the display with it not been stuck to the phone

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] quinxy:
I love my Nillkin 3D CP+ MAX for Samsung Note 8. Tempered glass, smooth as silk, fits perfectly, no loss of responsiveness (so far as I can tell).

Only issue is it doesn't work with every case, because it is curved and on my initial case trying to put the case edge and the screen protector edge butted and the screen protector ended up cracking. I ended up switching to the JSAUX Galaxy Note 8 Case with Durable Flex and Carbon Fiber Design for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 which is super slim; won't save it from the impact of a drop, but will stop scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] losttcp:
I did the same as you. I covered the the earpiece with masking tape, covered up the headphone jack and charging port with dust plugs. I then covered the sides and back of the phone with blue painters tape prior to the beginning of applying LOCA and installing the TGSP.

Like the OP, I was initially worried about damaging the screen when trying to remove the TGSP, however a little heat from heat gun (like a few seconds) and it came off no problems.

For the OP -

As for the installation, you just have to be extremely patient when letting the glue spread. Try not to touch the screen until the glue spreads evenly, and then you can try and work out any air bubbles.

If you are set on non glass screen protectors, then I would recommend Ghosts Armor. They have kiosks at most malls in the US.

Should have just got the Black Friday whitestone special for $29.99. I installed mine over last weekend and I have been impressed so far!!! Install wasn't bad at all. Had two little dots of glue come out on right side and one on bottom of phone. Wiped right off only thing is I got a little lint on edge but no big deal can't see on screen or with case on. I now would have paid $50 for it. Clarity, sensitivity, fingerprint reduction everything has been perfect so far and fits my Spigen cases like a glove literally no room between screen protector and case. Best protection I've seen in a long time. I would recommend to everybody with a note 8

Skinomi has been very good to me. Easy wet application for the perfect fit, doesn't ruin touch sensitivity and doesn't look like anything is on your screen. Doesn't leave spen marks also it self heals if there are creases or minor scratches.
