[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
See below text. I haven't heard anyone talking about this before. This is from Android Authority. It seems the Note9 is using on-board machine learning to improve performance over time. That's awesome if it works!

Has anyone heard about this before or know more about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] swaters3:
Anyone know if this is coming?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
Looks like Samsung isn't giving too many options of OEM cases. Maybe something third party but I can't find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jpbl1976:
It's too bad. The Note 9 seems like the perfect size to have a landscape-type keyboard clamshell case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] swaters3:
Any update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Let me look in my crystal ball....

Nope. Nobody is pressuring Samsung to make accessories.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] blessedsword:
Power SPen will be hate the case. Do you want Samsung **** themselves? Remember they promoted the live MMS a alot since the Note8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] maitrot:
I had the samsung keyboard case for the s7 and it was REALLY crappy.

Returned it on amazon ... I think there is a reason why they don´t produce it anymore.. they also figured it was crap.

Sorry for the rant, but It´s true.. 60bucks for a piece of plastic.. come on!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] swaters3:
I disagree. Who cares if its plastic? It's a keyboard and I am typing on it right now. I dont use it all the time but when I need to type something long I just flip it over and I dont have to correct mistakes,it works perfectly. It's a great solution the only thing lacking is the backlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lapeno022:
+1 on this, it will be nice to have dex running in pocket with clamshell flip-keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DeVilio:
The same here, i still have this keyboard case and writing on it is pain. Pure pain. Especially when you have swipe enabled gboard and voice recognition... why bother? Much more easy to buy normal keyboard or folding one and attach OTG C cable to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
So, I finally got around to installing my Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protector.

Initial thoughts...

-The kit is overwhelming when you first open it. Don't be tempted to try and identify every little piece in it. The packaging design is genius, and waste is at an absolute minimum.

-They scienced the **** out of this. The alignment is perfect. Not askew in the slightest.

-It is NOT full-coverage. I'm admittedly disappointed in this aspect. It covers the responsive part of the display, but it does not go edge-to-edge. This gives it a tangible learning curve in terms of hand and finger placement during use.

-If you follow the instructions to the letter, and don't try and cut corners, it will go smoothly.

-There will be a mess to cleanup. Price of admission.

-You never knew you could see dust so small in size, and the OCD in you will not let you even begin until you clear every last speck.

I hope this might help someone on the fence, or at least entertain mildly.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
If it were edge to edge, you wouldn't be able to put it in a case without it lifting and essentially depositing the 60 bucks or whatever that 50 cent piece of tempered glass costs for the Note 9 in the trash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jpbl1976:
Yeah. The S9+ Whitestone was more 'edge-to-edge' than the one for the Note 9. I don't mind. The S9+'s WSD was somewhat a pain with some cases so I appreciate the not quite edge-to-edge fit of the Note 9 WSD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
True. I hadn't thought about that aspect since I don't use cases anymore. I've got a skin on the back for the sake of scratches, and this is my first tempered glass screen protector. I like that it feels just like the naked glass, even if the actual coverage will take some getting used to. [emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
Yeah, it's definitely less noticeable when it's in a case. They should make an edge to edge and case friendly version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jeweladdict:
I had an install issue where it looks like a small plastic cutout was left on the screen edge. Not sure how this happened because my screen was clean and I removed the backing and put it down quickly. I noticed the issue during the glue portion and couldn't get the glue to cover the area =/

is this ocean blue mate?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mys3:
What case is that you're using ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
Sure is. It has a Dbrand skin on the back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
Definitely something between the screen and the protector, unless it's your Edge bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jeweladdict:
spigen ultra thin one, matte black with triangles on the back. no kickstand
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alher591:
The ocean blue is really growing on me. I thought it would be a lot more of a lighter blue. Im stilling waiting on my 512 ocean blue to ship but once the midnight black release ill be jumping on that right away.

Do you have any pics of your dbrand skin?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jrapps:
So I bit the bullet and tried this...first time with the dome glass....and I loved it! Installation is a PITA but it went perfectly and the glass was amazing...until I dropped the phone today and it shattered! (sigh)

$45 and it lasted 3 days, UGH! Of course, better to break the protector than the screen itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
What's stopping dust particles settling on the phone when the glue is poured on to the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] RGardner:
Well, I guess nothing will stop the determined mote of dust from spoiling the application. I used this product on three S8s (and have it on order for my Note 9), and I did have an pesky bit of black schmutz under the glass. But it was only noticeable when the background was white (which is, like, almost always). I was sloppy, and not taking my time, and didn't really clean my work area as I should have. But the set up came with two vials of adhesive, and I was able to remove the glass and re-apply. The adhesive is more like cured rubber cement than a sticky glue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Juvenall:
In general, nothing. When you're doing the install and get to this point, I'd suggest taking a second to hit the screen with another pass of the dust tape, then resting the glass protector on the speaker pin as you let it spread towards the center (which then acts as a bit of a dust shield).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
I would think if you're lucky and don't push down on the glass, as you're not supposed to, that most dust will push out to the sides as the adhesive spreads. Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] djinn415:
Does anyone else have any sticky residue coming from the sides when you rub the edges? Quite annoying, granted it might be a bit my fault as I immediately picked up the phone after all the glue adhered to the screen and then it started to slide up and down. I should have just let it sit and used the UV light to cure it in place. But wanting to know if anyone else who did it perfectly is getting glue residue along the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
Once the screen has cured you should be able to use alcohol to clear out any glue from the edges. I had a Dome on my Note 8, flawless install, the phone literally slid off my lap about 12 inches onto my car console and there was a crack through the length of the Dome glass. It looks beautiful, works great, but it's as hard as a potato chip. There is no way the phone screen would have cracked from that. These types of cracks happen a lot with the WSD protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MasK:
It was my first time with the WSD as well.

One issue I had was during lifting the top jig frame after laying the glass and curing it for 15secs. The top part of the frame was tight against the glass. So when I tried to lift the frame out, it lifted the glass as well!!

Then I decided to use my fingers to press down the glass before lifting the frame.

Yes,, I had lots of tiny bubbles on the top left. Luckily, after 2 days, almost all bubbles disappeared. Phew!

As for those afraid of dust, make sure you install in a clean environment with no source of wind. I did it after closing my windows, ceiling fan and also breathed softly. And don't forget to use the stickers to lift up the dust EVEN if you don't see any! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Juvenall:
Ugh, this is exactly where I'm at right now. I think I set my phone down too hard a few days after I installed this on my device and now I've got crack that runs the width of the phone. I'm happy they have a warranty replacement option, but if it's really this delicate, I'm not sure it's worth the headache of reinstalling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
Yeah I was in the same boat. I absolutely loved the way it looked and felt, but its way too fragile. There were even N8 users who had the case break the protector. I am all about preserving my screen, but if a fall won't break my screen, it shouldn't break the protector. I've dropped my phone a dozen times with a plastic protector and it's never broken. It literally slide from lap to the console, not even dropped and the WSD broke. Too expensive to keep putting them on, so I use plastic ones now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
I do!

Though I'm actually getting a replacement because it's not a proper fit.View attachment 4584558View attachment 4584559
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
That part of the process is 30 seconds or less. Presumably, you've removed as much dust as possible before that, and unless there's a lot of contextual airflow that would make it a recurring problem, you should be fine. In my case I used my kitchen table. Turned off all fans, wipe the screen with all supplied methods about a hundred times, and carried on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
I just bought the same back and it hasn't arrived yet. I hope I get the revision or whatever. I don't want an improper fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] djinn415:
I actually stopping buying skins altogether and its because of one reason. I feel the edges. Its either too sharp or sticky. It gets the better of me for some reason. I wish the edges were tapered down so that the whole phones feels smooth in the hand, especially around the edges. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
This won't happen if you install using either a heat gun or a ton of focused heat from a blow dryer. I had one of the thickest, most texture-rich skins you can get on my Note 8, and I never felt the edges unless it was intentional.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] brockyneo:
Hi guys just installed and went quite well there was no bubbles when curing and want non when I went to sleep woke up this morning and there is a tiny one I the bottom left corner has anyone had any success in removing the bubble so it possible to move it to the edge and use some loca glue to fill the bubble in

Or am I best just leaving it and not chance making it worse
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vraj07:
Video and pics were really helpful!

Thanks a ton for the pics and the video! Was really much helpful as I am on the fence. The "NOT full coverage" gives me a feeling I'll give this one a pass and keep the phone naked with maybe a transparent back cover.

Although I would like to ask you one more thing that how difficult was it to clean up the mess after installation and does the smell of the glue that leaked to sides and back go away after cleaning up? Did you have a glue leakage to the sides and back and phone getting stuck to the tray as reported by a few people in reviews on amazon? :confused:

Thanks again!

Viv
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mikevipe:
I am not the OP but I have installed enough of these that I can answer your question.

If you read the instructions, use the speaker sticker and the two cloth absorbers for the sides you will have very little cleanup.

As for sticking in tray. I made this mistake my very first install. This happens when you use the light too much in the tray. Instructions say to only temporarily cure the phone in the tray, top and bottom if you do it longer or more it will glue in the tray. Do the top and bottom then CAREFULLY remove and finish the light with the phone on a clean level surface.

Once fully cured the rest wipes off easily with the included wipes.

One additional step I added myself was once fully cured using a razor at an angle to trace around the entire screen protector then wiping it with the wipe. This removed any over spill that was collecting dust from my pockets and looking unsightly.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
It was not at all difficult to clean up for me. A lot of the extra glue landed in the provided install tray. The small amount that either ended up on my phone or table was easily wiped up using the same alcohol pad I used to initially clean the surface of the screen before installing. I kept a microfiber towel handy for a final pass.

No leakage into any of the device that I saw.

The phone will get stuck to the tray after any runoff occurs. That's inevitable. Just have to carefully sperate the phone from the tray, clean with the alcohol pad after wiping any heavily-soiled areas with a towel or paper towel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] peekie:
One tip keep the spare glue as you can use it on any screen protector that does not have full glue coverage , i used my extra glue to put on a cheap glass screen protector ( the type that only has glue on the top and bottom of the protector )on my wifes s7 edge , worked perfectly with no issues on her phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Vandal4125:
I have observed something rather strange on the TWO note 9's I've had. My initial note 9 I had applied the dome glass screen protector before I had even booted up the phone, it had a tiny air bubble which I could not deal with so I removed it and asked for a warranty replacement which whitestone gladly agreed to.

I noticed a few days after removing, my note 9 had a light "leak" others are reporting but intermittently on both sides. So I got the phone RMA'd, upon receiving the new phone I vigorously checked the phone for any light leak and could find none, two weeks into using the new phone, no light leak. I received my replacement whitestone, install went great but had residual glue at the top which I tried to rub away with an alcohol wipe, long story short I made it worse and the top of the dome glass ended up cracking.

NOW here is the interesting part, again a few days later I noticed my Note 9 starting to have a light leak on the right side of the phone which seemly got worse and worse day by day. I'm curious if the cured residual glue from the protector that got stuck in that gap between the glass and body cause some sort of reaction to damage the paint or whatever it is on the screen to cause the light leak? Both note 9's have been midnight black.﻿
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Androidwarrior:
Installed mine today. Thankfully i bought the 2 pack for 45 bucks. The first one was okay. Small bubbles towards the bottom i couldn't stand seeing. Took it off and installed the 2nd one with no issues. 8 out of 10 for me. If i didn't have that extra one it would have been a fail. Another thing i don't like is the fact the glue seeps into the cracks of the phone. I had to take a very thin peice of paper and scrape it out. Not fun at all. Anyway just be mindful of these things when buying. Hope this information was useful. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Knbnguyen:
The one thing i learned from installing these is that you should not press on the glass when installing. I did that and it caused bubble in the long term. Just let the glue run it course ( dont be impatient and push down the glass to try to help it cover the edge) and you should be fine. Take your time curing too.... i normally run over it couple times before
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] livo81:
Where did you buy it for $45 for two pack?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Androidwarrior:
Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] harlenm:
Just installed mine, first time ever installing one. Was super easy and came out perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bill_viper:
I bought the dome for the first time on a device.

Unfortunately my effort was a totally failure. Had on the laptop the installation video playing repeatedly but I got 3 major bubbles in the middle.

Ah, 50€ for nothing. [emoji26][emoji25]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
I've installed 4 times now on 3 different devices with no bubbles, how'd you manage that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] flipsonic:
Very impressed with the Whitestone Dome tempered glass.

I bought the pack of two, just in case I failed the first attempt. Watched the installation video several times before applying and managed to easily do it in one smooth go.

Previously used Zagg tempered glass on my Note 8, which was good, but had an air gap in the top left corner that bugged me. Also had a dot matrix which you could see at certain angles. Whitestone Dome is much better and crystal clear! Fits perfectly with my Spigen Rugged Armour case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] larsheat:
I had one perfectly installed and the phone dropped out of my jeans and cracked the protector (expecting), but also the glass (unexpected), so the material is not the strongest just to protect for minor scratches I guess, not happy at all for this money
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] otaconremo:
I just want to show this $3 clear protector I got from china. It uses loca glue too, might as well be a whitestone knock off. But it was pretty good and got all the curved sides right.

Btw, i ordered mine on shopee philippines.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alher591:
some tips for a perfect install. - when installing is to make sure that the install tray is perfectly leveled before dropping any adhesive on your phone otherwise it will begin to run to off center.

if you are not leveled be prepared to have more adhesive on one area more than the other. also when you drop the glass make sure the puddle of adhesive is dead center on the screen. Once you drop the screen let the phone sit it the tray for at least 10 mins before you touch it, the longer the better honestly. (use the UV lamp during this time as well).

Once you let it cure DO NO TOUCH THE EXCESSIVE ADHESIVE ON THE EDGES OF THE WHITESTONE. Just let them dry out and eventually, they will fall off on there own within the course of the next few days. If you have bad OCD and patience this screen protector is not for you.

If you follow these tips you will have a perfect install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] demize!:
Well I did 2 devices, took 4 tries to get one perfect. But I don't like how lint is accumulating around the speaker area. I loved the flawless screen. So any recommendations on how to remove it if I decide to do that..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Y0sHii:
I have one left over from my note 8 and it seems to be very close if not the same measurements to the screen of the note 9. I'll attempt to put it on tonight and report back how it fits.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alher591:
thats because the glue is technically still curing. Give it a couple days for it to fully dry out and you will notice the lint will reduce.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] demize!:
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I'm very ocd about my handsets especially this one. BTW. does the dome have an oleophobic coating, I'm assuming it does but I have some spigen I can use if not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Looks good. I'd rather pay $3 to get my phone gaps and holes filled with Loca than $45.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] maitrot:
Hi, on german amazon there is an option to pay 15 or so euros extra and then. you get 2 protectors with the set. So if you happen to break the first one you can apply the 2nd without having to buy the whole kit again .

So.. I bit. the bullet and bought. two... let´s see if it was a good idea.

IMHO it is the only. half decent 3d glass cover and 50 euros for a 1000euro phone.. come on!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] worldsoutro:
After a few attempts I got a perfect installation. I would note, you really need patience. Really clean your screen and use the stickers to get all the specks. I ran a light over the screen several times making sure I got every speck from the screen.

Your surface must be flat and make sure the phone is perfectly flat in the tray. Also let the adhesive settles throughout the screen. I had bubbles, you need to take a credit card and work them out. You need to do to this before curing.

After this I did the first cure, top, middle, bottom. Carefully took it out of the plastic tray. Cured it again and then let it sit for about ten minutes.

It's takes some time but perfect installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] SgtGoldy:
I plan to place my note9 in the whitestone tray the second I unbox it and THEN pull off the plastic thats on the screen. Hopefully that will make it as clean as possible for the install process
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've went through many of these. I've tried installing at least 5 and all of them have bubbles on the sides after curing.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I've tried to push out the bubbles before curing. I've always got a least 1 in the liquid. But when you push the bubble out, the adhesive also gets pushed out and goes in-between the upper and lower tray.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] worldsoutro:
I used the corner of that plastic piece that keeps the screen protector from going on the screen. It's a pain. It took a good ten minutes+ to get all the bubbles out and your right it's messy. Took forever to clean the back of my phone but at the end I had a perfect installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bigup7:
The key thing is having a level surface.

You want the LOCA to spread equally into both sides of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Yes I've pushed out all bubbles and I cired it without any bubbles. But after curing maybe 10.minutes later I get lots of bubbles on the left or right edge. This has happened each of the many times I've tried applying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] feddexx69:
if you have to push bubbles out, that is not a perfect installation. what ive learned is that if you touch the glass and mess with it before curing it, i may appear you aced it, but in the end you will have spiderwebbing . the first one i did appeared at 3rd day, the second one at 4th. i have 2 weeks with the 3rd one (which i didn't touch) and its going ok. also, dont remove the gunk from the edges, just dont.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] HSK93:
That actually looks really good, mind posting the link or seller that you bought that from? :D

I have an S7 edge aswell since release but never used a screen protector on it and it still doesnt have any scratches. Dont know if I want to take that risk with a Note 9 though, and the Dome glass is too much for me.
