I was wondering if there are any go to screen proctectors? Any to avoid, like do any cause issues with the touch screen?

I'd avoid the hard plastic static-type. They're difficult to put on without dust. I've been using the ones from clearprotector (.com). 50% off and free ship with the code iwantultra (have it memorized cause I've gotten several). The corners and edges are kind of a ***** to get on, but they work well and come with a lifetime warranty (or so they say...). This is a wet-application so don't use them unless you're willing to take the time to watch the youtube videos to learn how to install, and then takes about 20 minutes to install.
I get mine from www.bestskinsever.com. I've had no problems with them. The screen protector is easy to apply and very durable.
I have Ghost Armor on mine and like it, it is a bit smoother than Zagg or Bestskinsever.
Be warned if you want the full body protection, adding this to the back of my tab caused me to have the newton ring problem. I never had the problem with just the screen protector on, I should I have just stuck with the screen and not the entire thing but I really wanted the matte back on my tab.
Thanks fellas. I have and used to do/use the wet application ones for a while. Then I got tired of them and just went with the cling ones. I think I'll get the wet app and it should last a longgg time. Especially since Im not going to be using the tab every day.
I went with Clarivue on the recommendation of a friend.
It's decent enough, no tackiness or anything like that but it's not the best fitting, could've been a couple of mm wider and taller.
Other than that, whilst I've had a long-standing dislike for them, recently I've found Zagg's InvisibleShield protectors to be pretty decent - they seem to be very well fitted and the tacky feel to them that I remember doesn't seem as noticeable.
Kinda wish I'd gone with them for my Tab
Which would you guys say offers the smoothest screen experiences of all? I don't care about longevity as I only use my tab about once every 2 weeks
Imo the smoothest would be the cling on ones.

I purchased these in July from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058NXPLK
I was never a fan of the "wet" applications, to me it just seemed like too much work and I was never comfortable spraying any type of liquid all over my devices, regardless of how harmless they might be.
But anyway, this is a clear, non-matte protector that is the "static cling" kind of application. Once it goes on properly, you cannot see that is even there. The touch feeling is the same as if you had no protector on. I really feel that those matte ones, while they do reduce sun-glare, a lot of them provide a "tacky" feeling that maybe is fine for a smaller screen such as a phone, but can become very annoying for a larger screen if you do a lot of swiping across the larger surface area of a tablet. But that is a personal thing....I usually don't use my tablet outside in the bright sun anyway, so the matte types are useless for me.
I've had it on since the end of July and it's held up very well. You do have to wipe the smudges off the screen occasionally, but you'd have to do that anyway even with no protector. I'm extremely satisfied with these.
So I've got an Invisible Shield en route for my Tab, will post back when it arrives.
Same here haha.

I just bought the glare-reduction screen protector from BodyGuardz. Has anyone else had any experience with them? I wanted something that would offer a decent amount of protection for the screen (fingerprint and physical pressure), but also not reduce the touch sensitivity at all. (I type with the tip of my nose since I can't use my fingers, and trying to press too hard hurts )
Not sure where you can get it, but here in Singapore there's a brand called DataFlex and their screen protectors seem really good.
I bought SGP steinheil shield ultra optics. I liked it.

So this newton ring issue is a major problem. What if I just protect the back and leave the screen open? I have the new logitech keyboard case on the way and the front is protected in the case, but the back is exposed. I planned on protecting the back only. But I wont do anything if it'll case the newton rings.
Newton Ring?

Yeah. Same here. Just want a more "grippy" back. How does one produce Newton Rings from the back of the device. Methunked it was a display issue resulting from the interaction of the protector and display glass...kinda by definition...
Hopefully we'll find out soon. I just want to protect the back.

I blame the install of the rear skin because I had the screen skin installed first and then three weeks later I had the rear done. He turned the tab face down and installed the skin. When he turned it over, bam, Netwon Rings...
I never had them before the front screen protector, during the front screen protector install or after the front protector was on the Tab.
Will it happen to you? I have no idea but from what I have read about the problem it is caused because of the Tab moving/flexing which can be caused by excessive heat and certain handling of the Tab.
thanks!

I bought an anti-glare protector from Cellularbuy on eBay and managed to get it on in one go with no dust at all. The protector fits perfectly and the camera and light sensor holes line up spot on. The anti-glare makes the screen look a little grainy, but I hear that even the Steinhell ones that are many times more expensive have the same problem.
This has been gone over millions of times on each forum here, but here's how I did it:
-Wipe the screen down with a soft cloth and glasses cleaner or isopropyl to get any grease off
-Run the shower in a small bathroom on hot until the room is unbearably steamy
-Put on a hat to keep your hair and head funk from falling on the screen
-Line the protector up on the screen before removing the film and tape it on one side with a few pieces of Scotch tape
-Also make a "handle" out of tape to put on the top of the protector opposite the taped-down end. This will help with alignment
-Go into the bathroom and clean the screen with a good microfiber cloth. Also clean the front and back protective sheets on the film so there's no dust to come off when you start peeling them. The steam should be enough to wet it. Take one final look
-Peel the protector back and lay it down pulling the taped edge taut to keep it lined up
-Smooth any bubbles out with a credit card BEFORE peeling the top sheet off
IF you do have any dust, use a piece of tape on a corner to lift up the protector and another piece of tape to pick up the dust. If the room is steamy enough and you did a good job of wiping the screen this shouldn't happen.
Hello all,
I am looking for some advice on the SPIGEN Screen Protector Steinheil (Ultra Fine or SQ Crystal Clear). My main concern is too keep the spen as precise as possible, as if im using it bareback. I have seen the Zagg Invis on some of my friends and tried it and I just dont like the drag, rubbery feeling and scratch like marks it leaves.
If it helps I do alot of art work and sketches, i just can't drag a Cintiq around.
Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks.

I have the Spigen SPG Ultra Fine. The install was easy. I do screen installs in my bathroom with the shower on hot so that the humidity is up. It prevents dust from floating in the air.
The screen went on easily, smoothed out easily, and looks great. The smudge / finger print resistance is great so far and the pen works with no issue aside from the traces of what you wrote being left on the shield. It wipes off though.
But you can definitely see what I'd call a chalk-like outline on the screen after using the pen so regularly cleaning will be necessary with this shield.
I have a ultra fine on my n7k and its nice. Held up good so far 8 months down the road. .

it's definitely less rubbery than Zagg, if you don't like any drag, change your wacom pen nib to the pure white one. It's dam smooth with it.
The ultra fine isnt even close to zagg in the way it feels....

As meticulous as I am, I made all precautions for adhering the Spigen Clear protector. Cleaned my surroundings in the bathroom, washed my hands, Steamed the room with fogged mirrors, and closed door and STILL static and dust particles!! The more I tried, the more dust there was! I gave up about a half hour later with about 30 dust particles under the protector. Plus, those small adhesive strips they provide to a terrible job in removing dust from the back side of the protector. Years ago, I bought a Boxwave protector for my GF's Sony Clie TH55. Obviously a smaller screen, but no problem what so ever and NO precautions necessary. $22 down the drain which is too much for a piece acetate with adhesive. Probably cost pennies to make. The printing and assembly of the product box probably cost more.
For big screens like this one, you guys should get wet apply protectors.
I got Xtremeguardz, and they're amazing. No dust, and I switched the pen tip to one of the plastic one so there's no residue and it flows smoothly.

Thanks, if Spigen sends out an other one free of charge, then I'll take further precautions like wearing a hazmat suite IN the shower.
Just an update:
I went ahead and purchased the Ultra Crystal and the Ultra Fine. Both were very easy to apply I just followed this video on youtube. Since I cant post links just search this in youtube "Installation And Review Of Steinheil Screen Protector Galaxy Tab 10.1".
I applied the Ultra Fine on a Galaxy Tab and the Ultra Crystal on my Galaxy Note 10.1 both with ease.
To follow up the results of my original question about possible spen scratch marks.
Ultra Crystal: The black nib left no signs of scratch marks, though there was slight resistance.
Ultra Crystal: The white nib felt smooth and similar to bareback. But when I turned off the Note, I noticed marks everywhere. I tried to wipe it off and had no luck. Dissapointed at this point I tried to do more research on my desktop to find another screen protector. Approximately 30 minutes later I come back to my Note and lo' and behold the spen scratch marks were gone. I don't know if the protector has some self healing property but it is certainly different from the Zagg I have seen on my friends were the marks stayed.
As for fingerprints, the Ultra Crystal does pick up prints, were the Ultra Fine does not.
Codeflight, what's the quality of the ultra fine one like? I believe it is anti-glare or matte, so does it pixellate the screen or make it harder to read in any way? Must you turn up the brightness to compensate?
I got the ultra-fine (matte) a couple days ago and I'm pretty happy with it. I found the solid white plastic s-pen tip works much better than the black tip, and I've yet to notice any marks or scratches after a couple days of solid note taking. Like any matte screen protector, it diminishes the sharpness of the screen somewhat and requires a slight bump in brightness to compensate, but I read a lot of pdfs and the reduction in glare is worth it to me. I haven't noticed any pixelation or grain effect.

Beetmonger has already posted, I have had similar experiences with the Ultra Fine, so in addition to your question about brightness, Yes I do have to turn up brightness a couple of notches.

Yes. I can confirm that.
Using ultra crystal. Slightly more rubbery but love it after i change to the white pen nib.
One of the good screen protectors is the clearplex protector. Check it out here: http://clearplex.myshopify.com/coll...r-shield-guard-protector-skin-cover-case-note
thanks for the post kenny but the OP is asking specifically about the spigen. That clearplex is already in the "what is the best protector" thread.no need to hijack this one.
Does the ultra fine affects the sensor, since there is no hole for it?
Sigh. I think I'm just too sensitive. I found the Ultra Fine unbearably scratchy. I just installed the Crystal and it still feels pretty different from the bare screen. It's definitely rubbery, and whenever my stylus catches any dust particle it feels like I'm scratching sand onto the screen. Plus sometimes it even squeaks! Maybe I just can't have a protector if I'm using a stylus. I'm waiting for a Just Like Glass protector for my new Nexus 7, and if the stylus works on it I might just try one for the Note.

Update: 12/16/12
Been using this for 3 days and I'm very satisfied with it:
How it feels - It feels like touching a regular paper but smoother.
Spen tip - White tip
Big improvement: I can put my palm on the screen without zooming in on the note, I guess my palm slides a little on the glass surface causing it to zoom.
Screen doesn't look as dirty because of the finger prints.
Can read longer because the screen isn't too bright and glare is greatly reduced.
Overall I like it because it feels like writing on a paper rather than glass. I'm not really a fan of writing on glass and since I was little I've been writing on paper ^_^v
Original post:
Well I finally got my Ultra Fine and all I can say is wow. I had moko screen protector before and I've felt it restrict my fingers from doing swipes and forget about the spen. I took that moko screen off my note after 30 minutes from installation. The end result with any screen protector is subjective, but I do urge you guys to try Ultra Fine.
Install: Easy if you follow the directions. Orient your note "portrait" so the camera/sensor would be on your left side and the charging port will be on your right. clean with provided solution and towel. Peel off about 1~2 inches. Align it close to the edge from top and peel halfway let the screen protector adhere it self. double check for any dust particle then proceed installing to the rest of the tablet. Squeeze out the bubbles and check for dust particles. I had 1 dust particle and used the supplied tape to lift the edge and another tape to get the dust. So let me say it again. only peel off the backing halfway to reduce dust particle from getting between the screen and protector.
Spen - use the white tip and don't need to press to hard to write ^_^ it feels good writing.
Brightness compensation - Very Subjective. I like mine with cool feeling so that means dimmer.
Fingerprints - Reduced greatly.
I'll update with images.
The Ultra Fine sound amazing for stylus/art use; But how lacking is the visual quality of watching movies on netflix and such? I heard the brightness/sharpness is slightly degraded. I was wondering if you'd even notice after maxing out the the brightness? I don't normally do screens but this tablet is so awesome. Want to keep it that way.
I just thought I should share a valuable lesson: DON'T BUY CHEAP SCREEN PROTECTORS!
I have been fine in the past with cheap screen protectors from eBay. They got the job done, and they were only a dollar or two. And you got six of them.
Anticipating the arrival of my N5, I bought a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case (Which is excellent), and some cheap screen protectors for $2. (12 to be exact)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231089059032?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I bought a bunch because that gives ample headroom if you mess up a few times.
I try to install the first one, and it ends up with bubbles near the cutouts for the speaker and camera. Okay, I'll just try another one.
I've gone through six of them, and they all have the same bubble problem near the cutouts.
I ended up buying higher-end screen protectors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV97UD6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'll be sure to report on those when they arrive.
But the lesson is to be cautious with cheap screen protectors.
The xtremeguard screen protectors are really good, and they can be found for under $2.

I guess I lucked out with my choice of screen protector!
Not necessarily. I bought these SAMAR crystal clear screen protectors, managed to apply one without getting any dust or air bubbles. It has all the cutouts, the fit is good, and it is quite smooth when swiping, very happy with it so far. To top it all off it is dirt cheap and you get 6 protectors all with cleaning cloths! I've read others on here who have been happy with this brand too. Would definitely recommend.
use a drop of water when u install. it'll help take out bubbles.
also you can reapply these, just rinse in soap water then water, then shake off excess and apply. squeegee out the water - should be next to nothing.

True. And even with that. I got one first and tested before I got backups.
I use an IQshield screen protector and it's nothing short of pure awesome. No bubbles at all, and it's so smooth and dried hard. It feels like glass.
You get what you pay for. I bought the spiegen Crystal for 10 bucks and they went on perfect and looked perfect and felt pretty good to you cant even tell its on unless you look at the earpiece closely. But there's always better! I just recently bought a Nillkin Glass screen protector with 9h hardness and olephobic with rounded edges and its gonna be getting here in a week or so and that should be way better than a cheap or high quality screen protector!
This sounds silly, but whenever I install a cheap screen protector, I do two things: first, i make sure the side that's going to be applied to the screen is FACE DOWN. Never face it up, under any circumstances. if I do, its before removing from packaging. I even remove the adhesive that protects the protector itself, with the screen protector face down. this doesn't give a chance for dust to sit on the bottom of the screen when facing up. Yes im sure any dust flying around will still find a way to stick, but this reduces the chances. Plus, you make sure you are applying in a clean environment anyway. I usually vaccum the house (or area at least) prior to applying, and give the dust time to settle afterwards.
second, and heres the silly part: I make sure the screen is completely wiped, and blow on the screen itself with DRY LIPS as im applying the screen protector face down. This blows off any dust that may settle between the time you apply the screen, and make sure lips are dry as to not blow moisture onto the screen.
There really isn't any fool proof method for applying screen protectors without dust, but without some sort of clean box with a built in HEPA filtration system, this seems to work well for me 80-90% of the time, versus just applying like normal.

You can skip all the surgical-precision vacuuming if you do the application in the bathroom. Turn on the shower, hot as it'll go. Leave it run for 5-10 minutes til the bathroom is steamy. That knocks all the dust out of the air.
Then you can apply your screen protector in peace.

but wouldn't that cause moisture in the air? I could see that getting in between the screen during application. I bought a ton of screen protectors like OP though, so I'll have to give this idea a shot lol

It doesn't matter. Even dry-applied screen protectors go on better this way, and any moisture completely dries out quickly anyway.
Spend a few hundred dollars on a phone and then buy the cheapest cases and screen protectors you can? Doesn't make sense.
I'll pay the extra $8 for a Spigen screen protector and a quality case that match the quality of my Nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Spigen could've tried a bit harder and made all the cutouts. Even the temporary screen protector that comes with the phone has those. I think most screen protectors will be similar at the $1+ range but you can't expect much from ones that cost $0.25.
xtremeguards didn't have bubbles for me. Buying 6 of the same screen protectors and then saying all of them have problems doesn't make sense.
I'm assuming the OP means the bubbles are from the edge of the cutouts not sticking down which is a common issue with cheap screen protectors.
the cutouts are not made well so the screen protector itself is warped at the cutouts for the speakers etc so its not flat and does not stick down creating bubbles there.
Just install in steamy bathroom. The steam prevents dust from floating in the air.

I got this Nillkin one: http://dx.com/p/277084. I only had one. Applied by using the "hinge" method. Went perfectly. Cutouts are perfect and bubbles are removed very easy (easier than other screen protectors I've had).
I used a little wet cloth to make my screen wet and to remove dust. At first it feels very rubbery, but after using it for a day or even less, it feels just like the glass!
This is one slippery mofo. Any skins out there? Less than 24 hours and this thing keeps slipping off what I thought were flat level surfaces. If I set it flat on the palm of my hand or on a newspaper on a table, I can watch it slowly inch its way to its doom.
I hate to admit I fell for this line from LG:
MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6, Procedure IV “Transit Drop”)Shock Resistant
Compliant with a military standards test (MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6, Procedure IV “Transit Drop”). Device may not perform as tested in all conditions. Test performed in controlled environment. Do not attempt.

But if you actually look up what this means... you see its pure and simple marketing buII**** as your "controlled environment" can consist of a careful 4 foot drop onto plywood.
So yes.. skins to keep this thing from slipping are needed.
I ordered the Invisible Phone Guard front/back and will show how it works here when it is received. ATT was supposed to give me a screen protector.
I attached a picture to show what happened here. This is from 2 or 3 falls only 2'5" drop onto a laminate floor. The scratches cannot be seen without good light and the photos were taken using a DSLR and macro lens.. so it isn't terrible, but rest assured this has weakened the gorilla glass and the front screen will eventually shatter if it keeps jumping off tables.

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we have no plans to support the LG G8 ThinQ, as there is simply not enough demand to justify adding it to our portfolio at this time. Sorry about that. Let us know if there is anything else we can help with, and have a great day!

i found this to be a good review of the BodyGuardz Pure Arc Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the G8 ThinQ
i thought it was a shill channel looking at other reviews, but he seems to hate this. it fits GREAT, but only has adhesives on the sides and has a visible dot matrix.
on top of that, he says there is an unnatural hollow feel to it due to the adhesive not being full screen. i imagine this will negatively affect the oled speaker.
this is a $50 screen protector that AT&T is giving away as a part of a promotion.
skins... not much out there and only dbrand has responded (with a NEVER).
the Invisible Phone Guard screen protector was OK and visibility was good, but i found the sound to be very slightly muffled as if it is dampening a certain high frequency.
i'm keeping the back on until i find a decent skin.
this film seems like it will blemish easily. it certainly gets dirty easily. pics here...
Having this phone for a few days now and the OP was not lying about how slippery this phone is. A case or skin is a definite must have!

No sooner did I post this than it came in the mail. Fits on easy, stays on snugly. It's matte rubber without feeling like you're holding a car tire. I had one for my Nexus 6P I really liked and this feels equally good.
This thing is indeed incredibly slippery. I think I'm just going to be extra careful about where I put it down (it's not too slippery in my hands I find, just on certain surfaces), I hate hiding the slick design of the phone with a case. This is also the first phone I've had in a very long time where the camera doesn't bulge out the back, which I really appreciate and don't want to diminish with a case.

This is one slippery mofo. Any skins out there? Less than 24 hours and this thing keeps slipping off what I thought were flat level surfaces. If I set it flat on the palm of my hand or on a newspaper on a table, I can watch it slowly inch its way to its doom.
I hate to admit I fell for this line from LG:
But if you actually look up what this means... you see its pure and simple marketing buII**** as your "controlled environment" can consist of a careful 4 foot drop onto plywood.
So yes.. skins to keep this thing from slipping are needed.
I ordered the Invisible Phone Guard front/back and will show how it works here when it is received. ATT was supposed to give me a screen protector.
I attached a picture to show what happened here. This is from 2 or 3 falls only 2'5" drop onto a laminate floor. The scratches cannot be seen without good light and the photos were taken using a DSLR and macro lens.. so it isn't terrible, but rest assured this has weakened the gorilla glass and the front screen will eventually shatter if it keeps jumping off tables.

Well there are a number of skins now at the varies skin sites though I personally skipped them and simply put the phone into an Otterbox Defender case.
I used a cheap curved glass screen protector ( was like $9) and some loca glue (like $10) to make a DIY full adhesive whitestone kit.
hey everyone - just got my lg g8 a few days ago. i got my case and glass screen protector yesterday. in my head i feel like maybe the screen protector is 'muting' the sound from the screen. has anyone else noticed this, or is it just in my head?

I have not had that issue and I am using a Supershieldz screen protector however my brother who is using an Iphone 7 recently had that issue with one due to a screen protector he picked up at Walmart though it resolved once he removed it.
It's amazing to watch this phone slowly creep off of my wireless charger, which has a rubbery grippy surface! My case arrives today...
I'm using slickwraps for the back of my phone and I like it. I would say they are slightly less precise than dbrand, but still great quality. If people would like photos, please let me know.
I'm using a Nillkin slim case, adds no bulk and provides some grippiness.
I also have a Spigen Crystal Clear gel case that's very nice, but is more bulky than the Nillkin.
As for screen protectors, i've found that glass ones are useless for this phone. I tried a couple full adhesive brands with the idea that i would fill the little gap on the edges with LOCA but of the 6 protectors that i applied, they all had a problem sticking fully in some flat areas of the screen. It was always the exact same spots so I came to the conclusion that the LG screen itself isn't 100% flat in those areas so I settled on the Ringke Dual Easy Film screen protector.
Huge Thanks!

You may want to think about giving the Skinomi Full Body Skin a try. It definitely keeps my phone from slipping off of surfaces, giving the phone a bit of a plastic-rubber feel while still letting the beauty of the phone show through. The back protector doesn't interfere with any cases and offers a bit of mental relief for those times you want to carry your phone without a case.
Dude, I had my g8 for 2 days. Was in. The washroom and the phone was on a roll of toilet paper (the flat side, obviously haha) and got a notification. Before I knew it the phone slid off and landed on the bottom right corner, heard an alarming "tink" sound but didn't think anything of it. A few mins later I saw a small crack, then I looked again and realized that there were multiple cracks on the screen. Ended up getting it replaced by my carrier, I said it was damaged in shipping. Point is that this phone is a glass cannon: it's very powerful for specs but it will have a broken screen if you sneeze on it the wrong way. This is one of the massive downsides to the new gorilla glass. Sure it's scratch resistant but with the wrong amount of pressure it will get destroyed :/

I've dropped this thing so many times because it's so slippery. Seems like every other week I hear it jump off a table a few minutes after I leave the room.
I have a crack on 3 corners, but nothing across the screen. My case (which I tend to take off when connecting it to things such as controllers or some USB cables) almost hides the cracks.
However, these are more like small missing chunks of glass on the corners. I've never had such a fragile phone. I tried super glue on the corners to keep it from spreading, but eventually just went to town on the corners with silicone conformal coating that I had sitting around. It seems to be working great and keeps the little shards coated and sort of glued in there. I kind of prefer this to replacing the screen as replacements have only gone down slightly to around $150 shipped from China and I know I'll just end up breaking that one.
There's always been one or two deal breakers with all of my LG phones and that's why I kept going to a different manufacturer as soon as I could. I hate to say it but after this, I'm never going back to LG again no matter what cool unique feature they're wooing me with.
I basically used this phone with a broken screen for 5 months. Replacements are still $150 (better than $200 back when it broke). It dropped approximately 1.5ft face down onto a clay tile floor and front screen has cracks all over. It almost looks somewhat inverted now as if the screen was designed to have tension. Well I went and got a note 10+ and man it is great to have a real phone again. Doesn't have some of the edgy LG stuff that I really loved and theres no headphone jack... but bigger/brighter screen that isn't broken is so nice to have. Good luck with your screens guys.... I'll replace mine when the price is reasonable and either go back to using it or put it on ebay.

I have reached the same conclusion about the screen not being flat enough to utilize a hard glass protector even if you avoid the very curved edge portions. I tried the curved, glued only on the edge types first but that always had a weird optical effect and wasn't very ruggedly glued on, none in the middle. Why? I haven't tried using whitestone glue yet.
So the suggested one sounds interesting. https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Compa...dge-Application/dp/B07NHMBNLH#customerReviews
I think I'll watch the videos first.
I also found these but yes a firm, solid piece of glass is a no go IMHO. Not a fan of these new case designs for all the new phones. Why de do dat?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QB9MN28/
Still hoping for a solution. I had great luck with Spigen Crystal screen protector SGP10855 for my LG G3 which is hard but I believe would be flexible enough if it skipped the curved edges but they don't make anything like that?
UPDATE: After watching the LG G8 video on YouTube I decided to go with the Rinke.
I'll report back. This will be 4th type attempted.
I put it on this morning. It is pretty easy to get this on with good alignment and no bubbles.
Two things.
1. If you watch the YouTube instructions the place where the dust dust cleaning sticky backing splits in half does leave a slightly perceptable crease in the soft protector. Maybe it will smooth out with time? It did not with the squeegee.
2. It's soft so you can possibly nick with your fingernails and it's also easy to lift an edge ever so slightly during final finishing so be careful.
I see no installation flaws but it also isn't a hard glass but then those do not install properly even when undersized because the screen is not level as you get near the edges as far as 1/4" away. The film eliminates this issue but will it protect and stay on.
We shall see.
I sell a lot of these devices and it is even hard to photograph them on a smooth surface because they will start around on my table. Put it in a case, the screens are expensive.
There's been a lot of discussion about the screen protector on this phone. Removing it, not removing it, replacing it, etc. I bought my ZF2 second hand, and the previous owner had already removed the factory screen protector, so part of that decision had been made for me. He had replaced it with a matte screen protector, inside and out.
Honestly, I TRIED to get used to it. I WANTED to like it. It felt nice and there were no fingerprints. But if you watched a movie, it looked like an 80s VHS bootleg copy.
So I removed the screen protector and could instantly tell why people love this phone naked. The screen is genuinely beautiful. But I just can't take a chance at scratching it, so I replaced both screen protectors with the Gobukee screen protector.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KRXVXFT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_EiwZFb0ZWH70Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Installation is a dry installation, and is very similar to the Ringke Easy Dual screen protectors, but instead of the whole thing being sticky, there's only a strip that sticky to align it. I actually prefer the Ringke method, as it removes dust on the whole screen as you align it, but fortunately I didn't have any dust issues with these when installing.
Like all dry install TPU screen protectors, I had some bubbles after installation, but after 24 hours they were all gone, and I was left with a perfectly clear and smooth surface. Maybe not as smooth as glass, but it's very, very close. I'm not sure if I would be able to tell the difference between this and bare glass.
It's still a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but comparing it to the demo unit at Best Buy, which still has the factory screen protector, this one is MUCH better at repelling fingerprints. And it seems easier to clean as well. And it definitely feels much better.
As a bonus to an interior and exterior screen protector, it includes a skin for the back glass and the hinge. The hinge skin is just almost invisible once installed and doesn't affect the folding action at all. I haven't used the rear skin, as the previous owner installed a matte rear skin, which I actually prefer on the back glass.
If you're on the fence about removing your screen protector, because the factory one is terrible, but you still want protection, I can highly recommend the Gobukee screen protector.
This was NOT a paid/sponsored review. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully help others.
When this screen protector wears out, I will likely try the Ozero, since it gets pretty decent reviews.
With you on this one...just installed the front and inside and they are way better than the factory installed ones and are not at all rubbery like the factory. I loved not having the screen protector on but these are as close to not having in on there as possible.

I agree. I really like it. I've been using these TPU protectors for a while on my other devices. I've used them on the S10+, Note 10+, Note 20 Ultra, and now this device. I usually use the Ringke Easy Dual protector, but it's not available on the fold yet. But I'm convinced they're all mostly the same, just different brand and packaging.
I bought this screen protector for my fold but unfortunately my experience of it was poor. Its a shame as the install went perfectly because unlike two other brands I tried, the Gobukee is actually designed specially with the Fold in mind. What I mean by that is the two halves you remove before the protector sticks to the screen (as in tab 2 and 3) run parallel to the fold crease. This means you can push the squeegee and therefore the protector into the crease.
Honestly, the install was great and I was thrilled to finally find a protector for this device that wasn't poor. Unfortunately my hype was short lived as after having the device folded for 5 minutes, the protector developed a clear band of purple and green tinting where the crease is. You'll have to excuse the poor picture quality as I only had my work iPhone 7 to hand.
Did you not experience this?

Not at all. I literary can't tell the protector is there.
Plus, mine didn't split parallel the fold, it actually split perpendicular to it. Also mine has a hole punchout for the camera. Either you're using a different brand, or a different iteration of it.
On mine, you removed the back sheet, which exposed a slightly sticky strip on the screen protector that ran left to right and was located in the upper half of the protector, if I recall correctly.
Once it was aligned, you removed a second bottom layer, exposing the real screen protector adhesive. This was done in two halves as you said, but the splet ran side to side, not up and down like the screen fold.
Step one was

Thanks for your detailed response and I'm glad to hear you achieved a good install, as you say, it appears that this brand has different variations. Here's the link to the one I bought - you'll see from the pictures in the listing that there's an adhesive column that sticks into and parallel to the crease.
I did indeed remove the top layer, as you say, after removing said top layer it was hard to even see there was a protector installed.
I've even looked on Amazon UK for other listings for the Gobukee protector and came across one that at first, looked similar to the listing you linked to in regards to it having images of the packing which the listing I originally bought from didn't. However, that listing then also shows the protectors that look to install the same way as the original one I bought (adhesive strip running parallel to the fold). There was also a review that said a rainbow effect appeared but clicking on that to read more of the review took me to a completely different and positive review.
I've also tried the Newzerol and Miimall protectors but these are the same protector but in different packaging. These do two halves that run perpendicular to the crease but the biggest issue I had with these was they showed lines left by the squeegee, even days after the install which is strange considering how delicate I am when applying them to such a delicate device.
Edit - okay, so I've ordered the second one I linked to because the listing seems different enough to hope I get one line yours. As you pointed out, my original one did not have a cut out for the camera and this is reflected in the two listings - one shows no cut out, the other does. Perhaps they revised the product after feedback about the fold issue and also added a cut out? I'll update the thread with how I get on.

Yeah, the listing for the one I bought shows the hole cut out. But when I look at the UK listing it doesn't. That's weird. Doesn't make sense to make different variants for the UK.
Now, I do have faint lines from the squeegee. But you have look at you screen at an extreme angle, and get a light to reflect right on them to see them. I don't know if I could even photograph them.
Let me. Know how the second order goes. I'm genuinely curious.
Okay so the screen protector came today and wow, I'm extremely impressed and very happy that I now have a screen protector on this device.
This Gobukee protector was very much different than the first one I bought from Amazon UK (so there's two different variations on the same Amazon UK store), in the following ways:
The protector comes with a hole punch for the camera for the inner, large display
The install method is different, essentially this display protector anchors at the top near the selfie camera
The install went really well, initially I was left with a fair few bubbles around the crease but these disappeared after 30 mins of trying to work them out with the squeegee and leaving it for an hour open.
You'll see from my pictures that you can't tell there's a protector on at all and it feels much better than the stock protector that comes in the device. Also, unlike the original Gobukee protector, no rainbow discolouration where the device folds.
I wouldn't dare not use a protector on either display on this device. Even with Gorilla glass Victus on the front and not putting this device in any pocket with items that could scratch the display, the front display has picked up some very faint hairline scratches. Not a big deal as you really need to look for them at the right lighting angle to see them but if the front display can scratch then the inside display definitely can. Plus dust and debris can easily get to the inside screen due to the large gap between the two halves near the hinge.
So Mr. Orange 465, thanks for bringing this protector to my attention and leading me to discover there were different versions doing the rounds.

Awesome!! I'm glad you found one that works!!
I just installed the Ozero about five days ago. I noticed yesterday that it was starting to peel up on the edges right at the crease. Planned to change it out this weekend. Then today I opened the phone and the Orzero completely let go at the crease. From top to bottom it came loose from the screen. I'll try to post a pic tonight of it when I'm home and have access to my other phone.
I'll try the other Ozero screen protector I have and hope this was a fluke, since I love how smooth these feel, but if the next one lets go like this one, I'll go back to Gobukee. I never had an issue with them.
Got so tired of the crappy internal screen protector and finally (hesitantly) removed it and replaced it with the healing shield matte screen protector from Amazon. The install went flawlessly outside of a few bubbles on the edges which hopefully go away in the next couple days. It's such a night and day difference. Before I avoided using the large screen cause I hated the feeling of it and OH MAN all those fingerprints.....now, although the screen isn't as sharp, it still looks great to me and is silky smooth AND no fingerprints anywhere. I know there have been a lot of complaints about it lifting after a couple days or weeks so I'll be cautious, but for now I love it.
Hi, any updates on this screen protector? Any bubbles appeared along the crease or corners etc? Thanks...
I just tried put this screen protector. It does bubble slightly from the top of the crease when open.....sometimes. sometimes I'll open it and it's fine. However this is much better than many of the other clear protectors I've tried. Seems slicker and more scratch resistant than the others as well to me. I'm actually going protector free for a little while and see how I like it. I think I've tried 8 or 9 screen protectors now. I'm more partial to the matte ones for fingerprint reasons.

No bubbles or peeling at all. I actually removed it to try the Ozero brand screen protector, but that one actually would shrink on really cold days, and would come completely loose at the fold when opening.
So I switched back to Gobukee and haven't had any issues at all. Best screen protector out there, in my opinion.

Hi, please could you provide a link to the version that works for you in the UK.
I'm looking to add a screen protector to the inside screen and haven't found a decent one yet
