I'll go for a SFC :

I don't like much Dome Shield since it's not edge to edge as they are claiming it to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Because it expensive and still susceptible to cracking or breaking. And not all tempered glass fits their usage scenario. If I were to use whitedome it would be almost even with the raised edges of my note. Very likely to break as I work on elevators and have had other tempered glass crack in pocket. The cheap ones were decent for my V20 and for the price I want back and forth between traditional SP and TP. Now that my V20 is repurposed as DAP regular SP are fine for hat phone. And the Spigen Neo Flex is working great so far for my note. Waiting to see what happens when I get a gouge.

I have used OTAO Glass Screen Protectors on my S9Plus and before that on my Note 8 - so when I ordered my Note 9, I also ordered an Otao Glass Screen Protector. Like with both of the other phones, I am very happy with the results.

The Glass Screen Protector from Otao comes with a plastic guide that you can use to assist in getting the proper placement of the glass screen protector on the phone. It placed the screen protector perfectly and fits beautifully with the Ringke Crystal Fusion Case I use. No Dead spots - great touch responsiveness, great protection. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G82LN78/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

FYI - I had purchased the AM FILM glass screen protector before first - and when I installed that - I got a bunch of warnings on my phone when I tried to use intellegent scan for secutiry - I think it has to do with the way the screen protector for the AM FILM glass Screen Protector covers the status bar and has cut outs over the cameras and sensors at the top fo the phone - the errors I kept getting was that I needed to clean my screen in order to get recognized. The screen was perfect but I think the cut outs in some way interferred - I am only guessing about that - but I did not have that problem on the OTAO glass screen protector so I thought I would mention it in case anyone was considering the AM FILM glass screen protector.

OTAO works great on the Note 9! ( not to mention how well it also worked on the S8+, Note 8 and S9+)

I've been using the SGFreshIdeas InvisShield True Fit LOCA protectors instead of Whitestone Dome.

https://www.sgfreshidea.com/invissh...e-tempered-glass-case-friendly-clear-set.html

They're less expensive and better coverage than the Whitestone. The only thing is the slow shipping from Singapore, if you're in the US.

I've used their products on my LG V30 and family member's S8 and S9+.

I have the Spigen Tough Armour Case which I liked and initially got the Spigen Neo Flex screen. What I liked about that screen protector was that it stuck well to the screen, but the misty affect it gave me throughout the whole screen even after a couple of days was too much for me. I needed it to show almost perfect clarity. I then ordered the amFILM full cover (3d curved) and it works really well. The tray made it easy to fix (tray goes from the top and used for alignment) and so far the easiest protector I have put on. The touch sensitivity is great, their is a dot matrix that you can see when screen is off, but when screen on and being used you can't see the dots and it's very clear. Works great with S PEN. Now will need to see how good it is over time and whether it stays on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] guthrien:
Excellent advice. One video shows that you should see if the glue bottle rolls. Easy check. Supposedly you can clean the glass and blow dry glue etc but I couldn't even go down that path when I screwed up.

It's expensive but it looks like you're using the natural screen and it's perfect with the S-Pen. Has always protected my screens very well. Good product.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] force70:
Thats just common sense really, i used a level when i did my first one to ensure a nice flat surface to keep the glue where its supposed to be.

Also, anyone have a list a full adhesive glass protectors? I got one that's adhesive only on the edges. It's ok, but get slight click sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Thanks. But I'd rather not be in a situation in the first place. Hence why I never used loca glue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Was hoping to use a fully adhesive glass unit. Not the ones with just glue on the edges..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Hopefully, I'm thinking things might have evolved as the curved edge is now less aggressive than the note 8. I used only wet applied film on my note 8 in the past. This is first time using glass protector on a note series with curved glass. Like I said it ain't bad, but think a fully adhesive one would be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] u600213:
I got a Zagg Invisible shield because that's what my local cell repair store had. They offer lifetime replacement and the store installed it which is good as I am clumsy. Also fit with my Speck Grip case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lK0N:
So I was going to order from sgfreshidea.com but then I took a closer look at the screen coverage and said nope not for me. I found a pretty good setup off of AliExpress, and the application is the same as sgfreshidea.

P.S.

Here's the link if anyone is interested

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MILH0U5E:
I was fortunate to score a sample of the PhantomSkinz screen protector and full device skin. Since this is a screen protector thread, and I haven't installed the body skin, my comments only reflect the screen protector.

The screen protector is a wet applied full screen protector with cut outs for cameras, sensor, and speaker. This version would be tough to use a case as it goes edge to edge on top/bottom and sides.

It has zero 'orange peel' effect to it once installed. I will say that about 12 hours after install, the screen is a little tacky to the touch, but still has a smoothness to it when swiping. I have yet to try the S-pen as I'm waiting a full 24 hours to let the protector cure. I've used other wet applied protectors and this is easily the smoothest feel of any other, especially considering it's only been applied for 12 hours. Will update with more feedback after 24 hours and some s-pen use.

Now about the install process. The protector has an additional sheet of plastic over the protector that stays on until some of the liquid is squeegeed out. They call it a stretch protector, I'm not sure it really does much other than protect the protector. Once their liquid is sprayed on fingers, protector, and phone you slide it into alignment with the edges and start to squeegee. There's no real easy way to do an install like this. A bathroom after steaming it up is recommended, but being able to sit and have a clear work space is a challenge in a bathroom (however I had a great install on my Pixel in a hotel bathroom). Best just to have a clear space with no air movement and try to limit the amount of dust. Overall the install went ok, even after lifting the protector after noticing a small hair on the left side. Good thing is that to correct you just have to respray everything and slowly remove the protector. I have a few small bubbles in some areas and minor imperfections along the sides. I'm hoping they will come out during the curing process. Other than these marks, the screen still looks amazing.

I'm liking this PhantomSkinz so far based on the hope that some of these marks will disappear. With the curved screen getting a tgsp that would work for my needs is difficult. I did order the whitestone, but will send it back if this protector comes out looking good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Did it come out nice and smooth? I have one on my Note 8 and you can't even tell it's there. I have the 9 on back order, couldn't resist the trade in deal and freebies from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] u600213:
Yes. Nice and smooth. There is a small couple mm gap on sides where case ends and screen protecter begins but I have not found that to be a problem. Maybe even a benefit of not accidently dislodging it when changing cases
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] njweb:
Thanks for your recommendation! The Otao is perfect - Easy to install, no bubbles, solid adhesion all around, touch sensitivity is fine. Hopefully it will fit fine under my Samsung 'Rugger Cover' case which I am getting this evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] force70:
How can it be solid adhesion all around, it only has glue around the edges. Those types are terrible, dot matrix garbage.

Been there done that on s8 and s9 plus, wont get me on the note 9.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] njweb:
'Adhesion' may have been the wrong choice of words. I meant the Otao SP is sitting nicely flush with the screen - no gaps or lifting whatsoever.

Very interesting re. "dot matrix" comment. I am not an expert by any means and do not have another Note 9 and different SP to compare to mine to review the difference in image quality with SP applied.

Everyone here is claiming the Whitestone protector is amazing, but 44% of the reviews on Amazon UK are 1-star. :/ I don't know if I want to buy such a hit-or-miss product.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] force70:
Ive used them on 3 diff devices, they are great.

The complaints are from stupid people who cant install correctly. Ive ever seen complaints from idiots who dropped the device and the protector broke....duh what do you expect lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] whiteangelcl:
If only I can say that to my customers.

But honestly? it is a tough product to install by any means and all the help and support should be given to customers who are trying their very best to install.

I believe that if more help and better support is given, reviews will not be that bad.

Sure there are some idiots out there but most customers are actually very nice and helping them each step or providing more guidance and tutorials will certainly help in making this complicated process more manageable.

My two three cents worth of thoughts.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

They have a good enough product but their customer service and support given is just lacking. You will notice that a lot of bad feedbacks arise from the lack of support where customers become frustrated at the installation process.

You can provide a mould for the glass, you can provide a fanciful kit, a perfectly beautiful packaging and all the demo sets for all Youtubers to review but when an actual customer installs it, the most important thing to do is still the guidance and support and troubleshooting tutorials that ease them through that process.

My four five cents worth of thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] brockyneo:
Hi guys I'm about to buy the whitestone dome again (I had a problem with the note 8) just a couple of questions

I really don't want to get glue anywhere on the device is it possible to use masking tape around the side and bottom to stop the glue?

Also is I compatible with the spigen though amor?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Also maybe another silly question but can the UV light harm the display or pixels etc? Or is it totally safe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Have you ever used AMOLED in the sun?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] brockyneo:
Lol guess it was a silly question then :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] brockyneo:
So the blue light is just UV to help curing the glue?

Sorry to ask more no doubt silly questions but do you think if I use masking tape all around the edges of the device it will still go into the jig ok?

Also I've been watching a few videos some say urefor 15 seconds top ad bottom not middle and the remove fem jig and repeat for a further 30 seconds

Some are saying just leave it on he jig through the whole curing process and is there a such thing as too long under the curing light

Just got the 2 pack of Amazon £50 sold ne here tomorrow lol were has the days gone where they use to be 2quid off Ebay Haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
Look up glossy Carter on YouTube, he did a install video of exactly what to do and it was perfect. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PUSH ON THE PROTECTOR UNTIL THE CURING PROCESS IS DONE.

All the idiots(yes...idiots), who don't listen or follow instructions that got glue leaked all over because they didn't wait for it to cure, so they give the product a bad review.

The only thing about the Dome I don't like is the glass is a tiny bit too small when it comes to the curves. I wish it went full edge to edge with the glass itself as an option for some people like me. I plan on using a full 360 case and popping out the built screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] force70:
I think SG fresh ideas fits more of the screen. Id love to try their product to compare to whitestone but the shipping to canada negates any cost saving over whitestone and its slow. Plus since i got my dome glass on amazon any type of issue will be taken care of.

Ive never found it difficult to install over 3 different devices. But im not an idiot and always read the instructions and watch videos before i install.

Research pays off but most are too lazy to bother and then whine and complain when things go bad.

Wow to my surprise this is 100% full adhesive, i nabbed one because they are cheap and got my note today so gave it a try (in all honesty i thought it would be crap but dont want to install my whitestone yet so figuredthis would do) . It took so persuading to work all the bubbles out bit its pretty much prefect now!.

For $18 this is a must buy for a note 9 screen protector, worth double that easily...i may return the whitestone actually this is that good.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
No worries. Does it go past the viewable screen area or is it too small like a few reviewers stated? Can you post some pics of yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Agreed. Nothing worse than a case friendly screen protector that's too narrow. Meaning one can see edges even with case on.

Looks okay to my eyes, id say similiar coverage as the dome glass and def not as much as SG fresh ideas.

I of course want a screen protector for my note 9 but I hate screen protectors. They are hard to put on and always leave marks on the screen. I or worse just Crack after a few days for no reason. I love the look of the Whitestone over but that is so expencive. Anyone have a recommendation for a good one that won't break the bank but will install without a problem and not leave bubble marks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] chivamex10:
Can anyone point me in the direction of a dry install matte anti glare screen protector? Just one of those cheap thin ones that come with 2-3 in the package. Nothing fancy.

They make them for the iphone x and they do wonders.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] teegunn:
My take on screen protectors - and I have used a bunch of different ones. On these curved side Samsung phones, you almost have to go with Whitestone, and even those are hit and miss and/or likely to not last as long as they should. The curved sides are just too hard to conform to and stick to. A real weak point of these phones - Samsung needs to do away with the curved edges.

On my Note 8 I ended up with a $9.98 ONN plastic film protector. Honestly, it worked (still works for that matter) very well. It went on easily, stayed on 100% for the 8 months I have used it, and has protected my screen well. The downside to this protector is that first, it has more glare/reflection. Second, yes, it scratches. So while I am protecting my display, I am forced to look through more reflections and as time goes on more scratches in the screen protector. And of course it does basically nothing to protect from breakage from an actual drop.

Which leads me back to the Whitestone. I put the Whitestone on my Note 9 a week ago. Installation was not too bad, but also not walk in the park. Mine is not perfect, but mostly because I used the Supcase full body case a day after I installed the Whitestone and the Supcase case forced the glue out of the 4 rounded corners a bit leaving slight bubbles in those areas. After I realize that the supcase was doing this I took it off and actually whittled it down with a knife in the areas it was smashing the whitestone.... but the damage had already been done. Realistically, you can only see the small bubbles in the corners in the right light if you are actually looking. So all in all, the Whitestone is doing it's job - protecting my display from not only scratches, but also direct drops/hits to the display. FWIW, I put the whitestone on my wifes Note 9 at the same time and hers is perfect. Mine would have been had I been more cognizant of the Supcase full body case I used (I am a contractor) when on the jobsite that pushed down on the rounded corners of the display. Ohh well, live and learn.

luvvitt Note 9 Full Adhesive

I just bought the above screen protector from amazon and I have to say I don't hate. For 13 dollars it is definitely worth it; however it is not an easy one to install and takes a while to get the bubbles out. A couple of pics attached showing I was able to get them out. This is a glass protector with adhesive on the full screen. I did use a hair dryer to heat up the glass/glue to make it adhere better and in the end it appears to have done the trick.

A big negative for it will be that it has the black borders but i am guessing it is likely to give off the illusion that the sides aren't lifting. This is by no means better than the liquid glue installs but for me I just didn't want to deal with it this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
What brand was it and also take some closer shots of the edges please.
