I recently called Zagg, because I originally bought the curved glass for my Note 8. I explained to them the issues I had and they sent me the new Elite glass for free. I have to send the old one back though but still no new charges and free shipping. I would call them for a warranty claim to receive free shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
So if I buy this one from Amazon, I can get a warranty replacement for an elite for $6? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
Post some pics. Did you receive it yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] buzz11699:
No I haven't because they have not been released. They are preorder. They come out on the 16th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup! I verified it was a replacement option before I ordered. They don't show as an option right now, because they are sold out. The S8+ Elite is in stock and still shows as a replacement option for the Curve Glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] 92slammer:
No, I've tried it twice with the commuter and have to find a tgsp that works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Aren't they still pre-order?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
So I just bought one of these. When I checked for a replacement I don't see elite as an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup. Read my post you just quoted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zonly1:
Yes, dot matrix. I cannot see the dots until in full sunlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] buzz11699:
Yep still on preorder. No shipments yet. Mine was supposed to ship yesterday but did not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
Did anyone try it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Try what? The Glass Curve Elite? Did you read the post right above yours? O.o

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

I have the original Glass Curve for my S8+, and today I requested a replacement from Zagg for it. Chose the Glass Curve Elite. Just cost $6 shipping. Of course it won't ship until next week sometime.

As soon as the Elite for the Note 8 is available again (they are currently sold out), I'll request one as a replacement for my Glass Curve on my Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
Yeah I read it .. someome did not recieve his order on time .. that does not mean that everyone had not recieved it yet I guess
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
No. It was not released until the 16th or 17th, and is actually sold out lnline. The post right above yours was explaining they hadn't been released yet, not that he didn't receive his order on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
Just spoke to a rep and they said that they aren't expecting new stock until early February :rolleyes:. He said they could get something earlier but haven't heard anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Thanks for the info. Even though it's not your fault, you are rhe messenger. And as such, I am now obligated to hate you.

I hate you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fair enough, I hate me cause of that too.

Has anyone put the one from the S8 Plus on their note might fit better with a lot of cases just curious if the edges would fit or have any issue I'm not sure how the screens compare

Sent from my Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] buzz11699:
So the new Zagg Elite just started shipping yesterday. I hope to have it in sometime this next week. Will post pics as soon as installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Note 8 version still shows sold out. My S8+ Elite is ordered, but isn't scheduled to ship until the 23rd or 24th.

Looking forward to a review from you when you get yours in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I anxiously await your feedbacks ;) LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sixk:
So am I

Waiting for some reviews!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] guaneet:
someone has gotten the curve elite for the s8

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/7sk8rz/zagg_curve_elite_garbage_and_lies/

from my observation when i installed my whitedome, i got bubbles when my phone wasn't 100% leveled
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Lol, once someone someday masters this problem. They will be richer than Whitestone. Haha.

Time to start up a start up sponsorship. Anyone in?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Guys,try singularity FULL ADHESIVE GLASS from Amazon. It eas 12.99, then went 18 something, now 23 bucks, with Lifetime warranty. Best full adhesive I've tried in my Note8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I've been eyeing that one for a while as the tech21 .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dallen5:
Tech21 is great...I got one last Thursday. I had one for my Note5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Pure+:
Agreed. I have the tech 21 as well. Had it for a week after giving up on glass. Feels good and you won't notice it's even on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dallen5:
TRUEEEE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Tech21 is supposed to be good from what I hear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] buzz11699:
Ok so I have to say, I installed today on my note 8, AND it is complete CRAP. The Zagg Elite Curve is terrible. So first the entire left side of the screen has no adhesive and will not stay in place. The screen is also one of the smallest I've installed, it cuts the edges of the screen off. So I called Zagg and they are going to replace it but also told me that coming in February they are releasing some new protectors for the note 8 so I patiantly await that. For right now please save your money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zige:
Well i dont trust thay guy opinions. He failed six Whitestone dome installs too. I have already installed 7 Whitestone dome's and everyone was 100% perfect without any bubbles, even the first one. I will wait other reviews.

Sadly not available at Europe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
Thank you for writing your experience. I saw a post on s8 reddit where the user says apart from black borders it is perfect TG, so I had high hopes for it but looks like the note 8 TG is another story. Please keep us updated when you get the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
So a little update, I spoke to customer service again cause why not and apparently they now are expecting new stock in March....so, yea. Not really sure why they sold so many without have the stock to back it up but there ya go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] err0r76:
I'm awaiting my elite to arrive within the next couple of days, maybe even today... I've gone through 4 of their standard glass protectors using the warranty, I requested an exchange once again but this time requested the elite... Once I receive it and install it I'll post my findings too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
March ?? I asked them through their email and they told me that the elite TG is going to be available next week !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
That might be right. I was initially told February as well so who knows if that's still accurate or they're just throwing around dates to shut people up. Quite obnoxious seeing as how I, as I'm sure others have, received a ship date of like the 17th or 18th only to be left in the dark on when we'd actually be seeing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
So I guess by the time this comes out the Note 9 will be unvieled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] maclex:
Got from Amazon DE Socu 3D Full Coverage Tempered Black Glass with Note 8 Clear View Standing EF-ZN950... and finally fits perfectly and I stop searching any other protection
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Just got notification that my Zagg Glass Elite for my S8+ shipped today. Still waiting for the Note 8 Elite to be back in stock so I can order one.

Took them 13 days to actually ship my S8+.

I know this is the Note 8 forum, but I'll post back with my experiences from the S8+ install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
This is what they told me on 1/24

The Elite should be available some time within the next few weeks. The last update we have heard is that it will be here around the second week of February. This estimate is subject to change but normally the actual arrival date isn't too far from the estimate.*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
The Zagg elite is in stock for the Note 8. Just did my warranty replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
6 bucks for replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Same here! Just completed the order a few minutes ago. I don't expect them to ship for a couple weeks though. That's what happened with my S8+ replacement. Getting ready to install it today. Anxious to see how it goes, and even more anxious to get my Note 8 Elite.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
Let us know about the S8. What do you have to return to Zagg to get the warranty replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Ordered mine as well. Free shipping with code from zagg.

Looking forward to getting it. Although I'm pretty happy with the techmatte glass protector I have installed right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I just have to return my original Zagg Glass Curve (which I paid $7 for on Amazon). No installation tools or packaging. They said stick it on a piece of paper, place it in the included postage paid envelope, and drop it in the mail. I have 60 days to return it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
So I'm a little disappointed with the S8+ Elite. More with the cut off it. It sees to cut off more from the edges than other screen protectors. I have a Singularity full adhesive TGSP on my Note 8 right now, and it doesn't seem to cut off any of the edges.

You can see in the attached photos, the Elite does. It does seem like good quality. Nice thick glass, very oleophobic. Haven't had enough time to tell on sensitivity, but will play with it more today.

My suggestion for a bubble free installation: DON'T use the included tray. It installed mine just off center, so one side wouldn't stick. I had to remove and reinstall. I had to do the same with my Note 8 Singularity TGSP.

Before install, go ot Edge Lighting settings. Set it to original pattern and the widest setting possible, and pick a bright color. Take a screen shot with the edge lighting lit up. And set your display to 10 minutes auto off.

Now with the display lit up, showing your edge lighting screenshot, use it to get it centered up and down and side to side. Lay it down on the phone.

Use the squeegee to run firmly from top to bottom, holding the bottom edge up slightly to allow air to escape.

Now, turn off your phone. Start at the bottom edge with both hands. Use one finger to holde the edge up slightly and slide it up to the top. Follow that with your other hand pushing down against the edge, so your pushing the air bubble up toward your other hand. This allows the air to escape as you press it down.

Repeat for other side.

You may have to go back and work more bubbles out, but it all stuck down on mine with no bubbles. I got a little dust underneath the edge from having to readjust, but I was able to pull it up and get the dust out with the corner of the sticker and push it back down.

Someone else mentioned they got free shipping. I had to pay $6 for each of my Elites. Oh well, I bought two S8+ IS Curves from Amazon for $7 each, and one Note 8 IS Curve from Amazon for $14. Then paid $6 shipping on each Elite. So I still got three Elites for less than the cost of one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] fireattack7:
Let us know how the sensitivity is. I'm not really impressed with the sensitivity of the Zagg Curve protector on my Note 8. I'm interested in something that is Zagg quality that still works with my Otterbox Defender like the original Zagg Curve.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Been using it all day and so far sensitivity is great. My ONLY issue is it's cut too narrow. I get "case friendly, but this is too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
That looks great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dallen5:
Does it have the dot matrix on the Elite?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
No. It's full adhesive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I appreciate your honesty about the narrow edge. Now I know for a fact you don't work for them ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iamonfire:
Is it called Glass contour for the European user? I can't find elite Glass on their European website. https://www.zagg.com/eu/en_eu/glass-contour-samsung-galaxy-note8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
LOLOLOL. Nope, def not an employee.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zige:
Its not yet out for europe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Link575:
Well they're out of stock again and my order from Jan 11th still hasn't shipped. Not sure what they're doing...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dallen5:
Sweet...can't wait to get 1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Proday:
Any1 used whitestone dome and this zagg elite? Which is better and easier to install on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
I have the Whitestone dome. The Zagg will be much easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gentai99:
I have the Whitestone and the installation isn't too bad, but the adhesive around the edges and corners have slowly started to "give" - you can see it clearly when the screen is off (although you can't see it at all when the screen is on). Not sure if it was an issue with my installation, but it was fine for 2 months and only started doing this in the last few weeks. Came here to see opinions on the Zagg Elite as I was considering switching over to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
Same here with my Whitestone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Proday:
Yeah, I know what you talking about...same problem on my S8 :(

But I love this whitestone, sens is impressive, like there is no protection on the screen. I have some panzerglass right now on my new N8 and this is terrable (sometimes I have to press button on kb 5 times to type a letter) :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Installed my glass elite on my Note 8 this evening. First off, sensitivity is fantastic.

But the thing is so narrow. They shouldn't have put the black on the edges, it would have looked much better. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to deal with how narrow it is.

Also, it doesn't appear to stick good along the edges. You can see in the picture there is an area along the edge that just doesn't look right. Anyway, here are the pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Can you do a full frontal shot please.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Screen on or off?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Both please. I guess off will show the gaps more?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Sorry about my smudged screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
A bit narrow, but I guess that's just the nature of the beast.. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
Damn mine will get here today. Hate the black bars on the edges. I might keep my whitestone on a little longer now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsells:
The black edges are certainly not perfect, but I've been using the new Elite for a day and it's really good in every other way. There are no screen sensitivity issues and the glass is really smudge-proof.

I'm still trying to decide if the edges bother me that much, but the protector is that good that I think that I'm probably just going to deal with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
Isn't that Elite 50$? Looks like cutting the edges with that black borders?! I've bought one at Ali looking excactly the same. Well got it refunded because of reducing the screen size that way. Personally i can not live with that kind of screen protector. Not for 10$ like from Ali and definitly not for 50$.

Gesendet von meinem SM-N950FD mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsells:
Yes, that's the $50 Curve Elite. I got it for free as a replacement for the previous Glass Curve. I don't mind the black edges at all and everything else on this protector has been perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
Did u use the guide it came with to install it? Does it collect as much dust as the whitestone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsells:
Yes I used the guide. Installation was pretty easy but it took about 15 minutes to work out all of the bubbles.

It's too early to say if there is a dust issue, but nothing there today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
That's EXACTLY what the one on my S8+ looks like. It leaves a sliver of light on either side of the screen. Very distracting.

I agree with everything else you said. It's smudge proof. The glass actually feels smoother than the screen itself. It a nice thick glass so it will be protective. But it's too damn narrow. I wouldn't mind the black borders as much if it actually covered the whole screen. My Singularity TGSP was PERFECT. Until cracked. And they raised the prices to almost $24 and no free replacements. The free replacements is why I went with ZAGG, assuming it would be cut the same as the Singularity.

The Elite for my S8+ is installed, and it annoys me. The Elite for my Note 8 is sitting in the box on my nightstand. I'm trying to decide if it's worth installing, or will it just piss me off. And I can't get my money back. They were both replacements for the original Glass Curve screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsells:
I hear what you are saying, but it doesn't bother me anymore. That doesn't mean it won't bother you. I've only had it on for two days and I don't know it's there unless you look from the sides. So I try to look at it from the front only!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
I think using the install guide caused the protector to go on slightly crooked. I notice there is unevenness of the area on the sides where there is a gap.

Haven't decided what I want to do with it yet. It feels really nice, and responsiveness is terrific. The top edge is a little rough and collects quite a bit of dust, which I don't like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ForgottenUSR:
Got mine 3 days ago, followed the video, the install guide was a bit tight, I got the protector on, and there were air bubbles, I managed to lift the glass off my Note 8 screen and got rid of most of the bubbles after a few tries, decided to try one more time, and the screen shattered.

I have another screen coming, I'm going to try putting the protector on without the install guide, and see what I get.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] thejoey12:
don't lift the glass after it has been set on, use the item that they supply you with to get out what you can. As for any remaining bubbles use the phone and wait a couple days, they will disappear
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] strongsteve:
I got my Zagg elite and took it to the mall kiosk and had one of their installers do it. They did a perfect job. This is by far the best screen protection product available for the Note 8. I have tried dozens of them, including the original Zagg glass..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] borijess:
I was supposed to get mine past week. Got lost in the mail. Called Zagg they are sending me the HD shield which I probably won't use. They refunded me my 5.99. I can reorder elite when it's back in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
I think I've decided to remove the elite and go back to the amfilm. It's just so narrow, if I'm trying to read text on a web page I can't see the first letter of each line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
It really funny that these guys are not even capable to produce a matching screen protector for 50$ :D :D. I would never accept any protector that covers remarkable parts of the display with black bars.

Got the same style protector over a month ago from china. Sorry guys, in my opinion Zagg is selling 10$ China protectors to you for 50$. By the way got all these crap protectors refunded. Using an Artwizz Glass without dot matrix, 100% perfect fit, 100% touch sensitivity, even covering the edges completely. Only edge adhesive, but sticking very good. Compatible with Tech21 Evos and the Rhinoshield bumper.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Link?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
For the Artwizz? Bought it in a store in germany. Google it ;)

By the way, removed it twice because of water coming under it. Cleaned it with alcohol and reaplied it. Still sticks perfect and no issues. Not waterproof, but dust is no issue.

The Nilkin 3D Max is the same style. Ordered that too to have a backup.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Just took off the elite glass and went back to the amfilm. Couldn't stand the narrowness cutting off the edges any longer. It made it difficult to read if there was text on the edge of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] slicetwo:
I ordered the original curved shield from Zagg today on Amazon. I've read this entire thread and can't determine if the new Elite sucks or not. Haha. Are the black bars really covering up the sides?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsells:
I've had the Curve Elite for a few weeks.

Pros:

Looks and feels great.

No loss of screen sensitivity at all.

Less fingerprints and smudges than going without protector.

Cons:

The black bars on edges effects reading the edge of some web pages.

I just cracked the corner of it (without dropping it and have no idea how it happened) and they are out of stock for a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
Do you enjoy reading without being able to see the first letter of each word?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] slicetwo:
I mean, that is kind of BS. I guess we'll see how the regular glass one works. I ordered the non-elite version since people are saying the elite can be substituted for the warranty replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ForgottenUSR:
When you get the Zagg screen protector you might as well ask for the elite, because the original curved screen protector is easy to install, but the touch sensitivity is horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] harlenm:
It's a $5 upgrade or something.

Bodyguardz has a full adhesive now. https://www.bodyguardz.com/pure-arc-extra-secure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] slicetwo:
Damn. That shiz is expensive. It's ridiculous how much these things cost. I'm gonna try the Zagg first and see how it works out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Seems like trickery, perhaps they and others think by increasing the prices that folks might think theirs is newer or better technology when they reallt aren't.
