The verizon branded S8+ screen protector is great quality, cheap and easy to install. (I purchased it for $26 on the VZW website)
All you have to do is clean up your phone real nice
Then set it inside of the guide piece that comes in the box.
Take off the plastic from the sticky side and set the screen protector on the guide.
Push down on the protector and take off the plastic from the upper side of the protector and BOOM you're done.
It fits in cases without lifting and doesn't cover any of the sensors.
The only complaint I would have is that you can see some dots in direct sunlight but that's a non-issue if you turn the brightness up or just don't be in direct sunlight
Let me know what you guys think. I recommend you try one for yourself. Looks better in person. sorry for the giant pics
If you have any questions about it let me know. Oh and there are no dead spots for touch and it responds no loss in sensitivity.
More pics by request
I really like that application method! I may need to stop by a Verizon store. I wonder if an easy, exact application like that may alleviate some of the issues with the curved glass protectors...

Do you mean for the sensors? It has a big cutout that keeps the glass from going near any of them.

Can you take some more pictures? Where is the adhesive located? Only on the edges like other models or is the entire surface covered? Black border or no border?

It is along the edges as far as I can tell, similar to the others and there is a black border on the protector itself like them too, but I have yet to experience the clickyness that most curved glasses have in the center and it is the perfect size for multiple cases. Ill upload a couple more pics here in a few.

My experience with it has been exactly the opposite. It does not stick in place and can be moved around quite easily and its clicking non stop. The sensitivity is bad. The rep at Verizon put it on for me. Is it possible she did something wrong?

Dang, sorry to hear that. It's totally possible the she put it on wrong. If she didn't apply pressure around the edges enough before removing the guide. It could've moved to one side. Idk.

Not to worry. I found one! Good guy Gurule92 sharing this find. Thanks! Super easy to apply. Clean, smooth, looks like it wont hold finger prints. Hope my Speigen wont make it pop off.
So I took the ops advice and bought one of the screen protectors. Cane out to like 28$ so a little pricey but not bad. My thoughts, the screen protector as of right now works perfect I have 0 problems with lifting, touch sensitivity etc. Install was very easy, and the protector feels like it's sticking well. Seems like it's case friendly but I do have 2 very minimalistic cases. The dot matrix is pretty easily noticeable at certain angles but mostly only on dark screens. Over all so far I'm very happy with it though. I can deal with the dot matrix to help protect this screen. When I installed I laid the screen protector on and pushed out from the center. My thought on this is its removing gap between the protector and screen and then sticking versus just sitting on top of the screen and pushing the sides down. Is it guaranteed to work like that? Probably not, but it did work for me

Seems interesting. Is this whole body protection or just the screen? 30 bucks for just the screen seems a bit much. For that price I'd be more likely to get a glass screen protector.

It is only for the screen.
It is about 20 bucks here, and I live in Korea so I am getting free shipping
I ordered one yesterday, so should get here on Monday. Ill post some picks. No videos though, I could never even think about doing that to my phone!
Well, finally got er on.
Pros
-protects the screen very well
-covers most of the screen, leaving only the speak and above, and the camera hole not covered. (and the button I suppose).
-feels smooth
Cons
-gets marked up very easily (just using the applicator left marks on it.....the plastic thingy)
-feels kind of rubbery to the touch (although it is smooth).
-still has a bit of a rainbow effect......a bunch of little rainbow pixels that I have been trying to get rid of.
I don't know what I want to do....there are marks on the screen already, but this thing really protects and covers the whole screen.
Just looking at it again, and it seems to be peeling up the sides like all the other ones.
Im going to leave it until morning and see what I wake up to.....
Hmm... are you using a case as well? Maybe I should have waited before I ordered mine

Sorry, to update....
It is a very sweet protector!
The sides settled down after a day or two and no problems at all.
Screen is clear and finger prints are not a problem.
Recommended for anyone that wants some extra protection.
One small problem....if you have a case that comes up and over the edges of the screen, you may have some problems. My gel case would cause the sides to peel up, do I'm using a slim case now

Got a different case because my diztronic was not having this protector at all.. works great.
Problem with mine is, I didn't align perfectly, so sides are a little off. But I spent too damn long applying it and had many dust problems, so I said screw it.(Also botched my first one -_-)
How is the screen clarity compared to not having the screen protector? I've tried the Zagg stuff and although nice protection, orange peel look and feel of plastic really got to me after a while.

I find it's somewhat similar to a ZAGG, not as orangy, but definitely not as smooth as naked either. You notice it the first time, but I just glide now that I got used to it. This obviously isn't the answer you were looking for, but it's the best I could do @[email protected]

Actually it does help, looking closely at your pictures, I can see where the buff protector starts comparing it to the white of the phone, there is a slight tint, so your right it is not as orange but still there. But I might sacrifice the smoothness since the buff protection from shocks is amazing, and from the number of cracked screens I have been hearing about with this phone, I think I may need it.

Glad I could help bro, I didn't apply the screen protector too well also. It seems to be more on the right side of the phone, but yeah.. I just got too tired man. I iced my first one, and the second one took equally as long and painful due to dust cleaning. Sometimes I just can't win! I'm happy with it though. Now I know my phone can take a brick at it, kinda.
Anyone on the forums try one yet? The seller has 100% feedback for his/her ebay sales, although not all sales are for the glass protectors. I only saw that one person with our phone had purchased one. (veyoncee, are you on this forum???)

I'm curious as to how flat it lays against the screen. I assume it has total contact but I'm not 100% sure. I'd also like to know how well it plays with cases, with it having a thickness that is greater than the typical plastic screen protector. And then there's finger printing. I bought the AT&T/Casemate ones and they are grease magnets and somewhat hard to remove finger oils.

It makes full contact using a silicone adhesive. It does cause issues with hard shell cases. It should be about as fingerprint resistant as our original glass considering it is made from oleophobic glass.

Btw, it lays completely flat. It doesn't go over the tapered edge and actually leaves about 0.5mm of actual flat edge.
When first installed, it didn't completely adhere near the camera and raised slightly, but after about a day it bonded all the way.
Just be mindful about the bubbles when installing. Slightest dirt will show up as a bubble.

How is it for light transmission...does the anti-smudge property block light (like a matte screen protector does)?
If it does smudge, is it relatively easy to remove them? (my Case-Mate vinyl protectors hold onto smudges, needing a liquid cleaner to remove the grease).
During your installation did you trap any dust, and if so, is the silicone adhesive forgiving? Basically, can you remove and reapply or will that possibly leave permanent fingerprints on the adhesive as well as dust?
If you had to do it over again, would you still get this product or try something else?
If you've used spigen glass, they are identical in my opinion.
It basically comes down as the best screen protector you can buy. You won't go back to using any other type of protector.
You can read up on spigen glass it applies for this as well.

Nope. When it does I will post in this thread.
It's a city over from me, So I suspect I'll get it today.
Alright, I got my glass protector today.
I'll give you the bad news, I do not have a photo of it on the phone..But I will cover everything so you won't miss it.
Packaging
The Envelope and the product both had a bubble wrap element to them. So the product made it here safe and I bet yours will too.
The Robot is my watermark and it covers my address.
Sellers Address
It's only worth $8.00 to them LOL
The opening process in order.
They included two Home Buttons
This will let you press the button with the glass on. It's not very tall so have no worries about it grabbing. My Tough Case it higher from the screen than the button.
Alcohol wipe,Home Buttons and a cheap cloth
The glass
It has very accurate cut outs for Home Button,Speaker and the Sensor/Camera area.
Application.
Scotch tape will help you remove any lint after you clean it. It will remove it from the adhesive side of the glass.
My adhesive side plastic cover stayed on the glass and the pull tab came off. It took a finger nail on the Speaker slot to pull it up and off.
I lined it up with the home button as it gives a 360* range of center to focus on. I then let that side rest down and gently let it drop down and on.
If you do it this way you will get to watch as it will pull itself to the OGP screen, It's actually interesting to watch as the glass will change color as it adheres to the screen from Home button up to the speaker.
Impressions
It's really slick and smooth.
The screen is just as responsive as it was naked.
I do not see any finger prints while I've been touching it.
Make certain you have every spec of dust removed. The glass is rigid and it will allow for a larger bubble of air and make it more noticeable.
I work at a steel plant and carry my phone all day, I also live a very active life style so this glass will gets its strength tested.
If it scratches or breaks I will update this thread.
All in all after a hour of having it, I like it and so far have no complaints about it.
So i ordered a grey bumper and have had it now for a few days and decided to tell you all my experience. The bumper has a very nice in hand feel, smooth and contoured nicely to the phones original shape. The case is also extremely light and adds minimal bulk about 1mm. The cutouts are all perfectly cut as this case is made for the Nexus and the application and removal of the case are easy and fluid. The only slight issue at first is the button feel which is a bit stiff but after using it for days it loosens up some and becomes second nature. I here alot of people *****ing about the price but afterr spending less on some cases that were tripe in the build quality and returning them all this case is quality. It also allows for the Qi charger to work through it. Last but not least i like the Nexusy design and the fact that it has Nexus etched on the back. I do not want to conceal the fact that i have a Nexus. here are some pictures if you have any questions just ask?
had to post on a different reply wouldnt allow me to add to thread for some reason

For $7 I'm going to give it a shot. Same price on Amazon for Supershieldz and 2 day delivery. Will update when installed
UPDATE: My Supershieldz TGP arrived and before heading out of town on business I installed and can confirm NO HALO. This is not just a Zizo close. Been using it for a couple of days now and while there is still smudging it's not as bad as the Zizo. I'll try to post some photos using my 6p when I get home

I've ordered a zizo and a couple of the others that look the same and I'm done. All the ones I get smudge like crazy and have the rainbow effect.
I'm just gonna wait until there's a definite consensus on one that doesn't have those issues.
I'm currently using an Armor shield wet protector and it's pretty good for plastic. Better than the glass protectors as far clarity/smudge resistance but the glass is obviously better as far as feel goes.
Anybody knows a good matte/Anti-Glare screen protecror that covers the whole screen?
I pried my wife's iphone 7 plus out of her hands long enough to take these.
Is there adhesive on the clear part of the glass? Not just on the black trim. That's the cause of the oil spill under the screen. No adhesive to hold it tight to the phone like the clear tempered shields.

Not a clue, but whatever is holding it on is clear with no bubbles, bumps or rainbow oil slicks.

I've never had a problem with that on any of the 6 I've tried so can't say. No issues here for me.

For $7 I'm going to give it a shot. Same price on Amazon for Supershieldz and 2 day delivery. Will update when installed
UPDATE: My Supershieldz TGP arrived and before heading out of town on business I installed and can confirm NO HALO. This is not just a Zizo close. Been using it for a couple of days now and while there is still smudging it's not as bad as the Zizo. I'll try to post some photos using my 6p when I get home

I was not about to stick my finger on the adhesive side to check if the center has adhesive but with no halos can't think of another explanation

I keep looking for this on Amazon and havent seen it yet, when it comes out I will pay a lot for it. They really are the best glass screen protectors for the money!

Anyone knows when this screen protector will be out (preferably on Amazon) ?
I had really good experience with it on my older device and I want it also for my Pixel 3.

On their twitter they announced they'd be releasing them some time in November - https://twitter.com/whitestonedome/status/1054799639529095168
Hopefully earlier rather than later, the one I'm using now doesn't cover my full display area and it's a tad annoying.

These Mr Shield ones - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FTHLLB2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QS9ZBbBZ7K44T
I will say I think I prefer these over the ones with the black bezels that don't have full adhesive. I had issues with those on my OnePlus 5.

Ahh gotcha. Was curious if you had the Zagg "Made for Google" one. I was thinking of getting the Zagg until Whitestone but that's a lot to spend on thin pieces of glass.
I'm a huge fan of Whitestone, especially after my experience with it in my 2XL. With that said, I got the Verizon branded screen protector to use in the meantime and I am so impressed I can't see a reason anymore to get the Whitestone. Only cost me $19 too.

How's the screen coverage? Any ghosting/lifting around the edges?

It's 100% edge to edge of the viewable display and since it has adhesive all over, there is no ghosting or rainbow effects. I had one of the corners initially not 100% attached (lower right), but one day after having it in the bathroom with a hot shower, the steam must have fixed it and now it's 100% flawless.
My advice is to align it first with masking tape while the screen is lit, then just keep masking tape on one side to flip it onto the screen once it's been cleaned.

my verizon glass didnt do very well, wouldnt seal on the bottom left corner. it was installed by the verizon tech. they said it would go away, never did. i will probably order this glass when it comes available. i like the process, and how it really centers on the screen. this glass with my MNML case.. should be perfect.
Oh yeah the way the glue spreads when you place the White Stone Glass Screen Protector is amazing. I had it on my S9 and I will never go back to anything else. I have the Verizon one on my Pixel 3 right now and yeah there is one little tiny corner that never sticks but it so tiny I can barely see it unless I am in the right light. It works for now until White Stone gets one out for us.

When installing these screen protectors it really helps to do it in the bathroom with a hot shower running. The humidity keeps the dust down. Youll probably be sweaty when your all done putting it on but its worth it.
