TriboScreen screen protector

After watching that video I had to support the company that made it cause it's a pretty clever system they've come up with. I don't even care for dry install protectors but I had to try it. The fact that not only do you get 2 screen protectors with each order, you get the mold or jig specific to your device which ensures a properly installed protector every time.
I ordered mine off eBay from a seller named icapsale-istt. The product ships from S.Korea...I bought mine on the 9th, late in the evening, it arrived today. Pretty damn fast shipping if you ask me, especially since they estimated it wouldn't get to me until between 6.26.12 - 7.10.12. Obviously I can't do a product review since I don't have my device yet but rest assured I will once I get it installed.
**Update 6.30.12**
Alright fellas, got it on...installation was as straight forward as the video shows except you do have to get some bubbles out. So before you take off the top layer make sure you use the squeegee to get them all out. Unfortunately I got a spec of dust right smack dab in the middle of my screen but it's not noticeable unless the screen is off so for now it stays. First thing I noticed was the rainbow effect on the protector when the screen is off...when it's on I don't see any abnormalities. The screen feels the same as if it were naked. It doesn't cover the whole screen for obvious reasons (beveled edge around the screen) but during normal useage you don't even realize it. No banding, no rainbow effect, very clear, doesn't seem to effect the display negatively at all. Touch sensitivity is no different than without the protector on. The only thing about this is the price, it's pricey. That being said, it's not head and shoulders better than any other dry install protector i've ever used so hard to justify the price unless you're a noob and that concerned with installing one that the included jig will make you rest that much better...or if you're like me and just wanted to support the company who came out with such a setup for their ingenuity.
Overall, it's a nice protector that will ensure proper placement everytime...if only it could prevent dust as well But the price will turn most off, especially for this type of protector considering most of this type are about a quarter of the price or less. There is no rubbery feel on the display and it looks just as beautiful as it did when it was naked. I give this product an 8/10 only because of the price, would have been a 9 otherwise.

If I was not getting a otterbox defender I would get this. I hate putting screen protectors on wrong and this makes it so you can't.

yeah let us know how well they work. I am interested in seeing some close up shots of it installed as well.

I just purchased one as well!

I'm currently in S.korea and the SS3 isn't even out here yet, I wonder if I can get these here.
It's probably a lot cheaper here (just look at the prices of SGP in Korea compared to the rest of the world).
And does the screen protector cover the whole glass area?

How did it go?

Just got this in yesterday. Took off my XtremeGuard, and these screen protectors are pretty crystal clear and nice.
One problem is their cut. Unless if you have a case, they do not cover the whole phone but for good reason. The phone is a bit curved near the ends so if the hard plastic stretched all the way out it would float and not stick at all.
These are also reusable. To reinstall or reapply I suggest getting a lint remover, peeling off one of the tapes and just sticking your screen protector on it. This way it will remove any dust and you can reapply it.
It also feels great, if you have sweaty or oily hands, this screen protector will accommodate you. Application was easy, I just had a difficult time due to my dogs shedding in the summer heat... they are leaving a lot of hair around.
Summary: I would recommend it. Shipping takes forever though, like 2 to 3 weeks.

I can't find them on ebay. Can you guys post a link?

Can you post a picture with your screen protector on? The video never really shows it up close.

i ordered two of these one for me and one for my dad, woulda been nice to know that you get 2 covers in one order and based on the picture only a tiny bit of the glass is not covered by the protector

how do the protectors feel on the phone? Does it feel like there's even a protector there? or is it just a smooth feeling?

Thanks given :good: Nah man, it feels good. When I first installed an XtremeGuard, as much as I like that protector, it was noticeably tackier than the naked screen. This protectors feels as if it is the naked screen. As for the rainbow thing, yep, exactly as you just said. but turn the phone on and look for the rainbows or any other display defect and you're gonna be hard pressed.

Well glad I can help you out a bit. I feel the same....although I was very worried when I seen the rainbow effect before I turned the screen on. I have 3 XtremeGuards in hand but i'm not putting them on unless this one needs to be replaced for some reason.

Thats a smart decision. Im gonna order the SGP nano protector just in case the tribo doesn't workout for some reason.

only thing im worried about is if the edges will lift up due to the screen being curved

[Q] Screen protectors

I'm psyched about the new Note and can't wait until it comes in. As far as screen protectors go would any of them work well?
I'd post links, but I'm unable to as a new member. I've found three on amazon made by COD, XtremeGuard and supershieldz.
Anyone know anything about these? I'm open to other suggestions and would like to know about anything I should be wary of.

I don't think that I am going to use a screen protector. Unlike a phone, a tablet, to me is one of those devices that you take out and use and then when you're done the cover of your case goes back over it and it gets put away. It isn't the kind of device like a phone that is everywhere all the time and rubbing up against all kinds of things. I remember an Apple store employee said to my son one time that he wouldn't recommend a screen protector for the iPad and his reasoning was go look at all of ours on display. There are thousands of people in here every week playing with them and we don't put screen protectors on those display devices and you would be hard-pressed to find one that has a scratch on it.

He has the clear one..and its fine..and the reason for him to use clear one was that he didnt find antiglare.....:laugh:

I will in all likely-hood use a screen protector, but has anyone seen if this device has gorilla glass?
I haven't seen it mentioned in the specs so I'm guessing not.

Just wanted to update everyone on my experience so far... I order the iconic screen protector and it sucks. They attach a stick to the SP and it's impossible to remove cleanly. Do NOT get iconic.
EDIT:
Okay after working with it a bit.. and using the last screen protector I had... I first carefully removed as much of the sticker as I could with a very sharp pocket knife. Then I carefully applied the screen protector and managed to get it on perfectly (no bubbles, no lint on the inside or dust particles on the inside). It looks pretty good. So then to get all the sticky gunk from the sticker off I got some q-tips and rubbing alcohol. It got it off for the most part. if you look for it you can tell something was there, but you wouldn't notice otherwise.
It's not a bad product. I got little sleep last night and i'm a bit irritable today. However I may end up taking this thing off once I find a good case for it. I'll be doing research in the meantime to see if the s-pen has a tendency to leave permanent marks over time.

anyone has found a nice Anti-glare screen protector pls post the link as I want to buy it before ordering my GN 2014

Hey guys. I have a note 2 and I tried out, the pure glass, by bodygaurdz. ITS AWSOME. It doesnt take away from the spen sensitivity and it doesnt hold the pen when writing like if it was sticky or something cause its glass. I just spoke with them and they said they have a meeting on monday to start it so it should be out soon. I think its totally worth the money for the spen devices. Never going back to other ones if im using a pen device. Other wise I would still buy bodygaurdz regular one. So for now Im just going to buy one of those cheap 3 pack ones till the glass comes out. :victory:

I may put a protector on until I find a good case.. I usually use them on phones but not tablets. My iPad goes everywhere and doesn't have a scratch on it but it has a nice Sena zippered case.

As I said about there is a sticker on there to help you remove the mask. I advise you to get a small sharp knife and carefully try to slide it between the sticker and the actually screen protector. You can leave the other sticker alone that's on the mask so you can just use that to remove the mask. Then once you've got your screen protector on just get a couple of q-tips and some rubbing alcohol and the sticky crap should come off.
I haven't used it in direct sunlight, so I can't say how well it works in that situation, but so far I can't even tell there is anything on the screen unless I look at the edges. s-pen works just fine. Just use the microfiber cloth to wipe the top a bit and the pen will glide along. At first it's a little rough and awkward but a sensual rubbing with a microfiber cloth will fix it.

Lol yea... If you read the other posts I made in this thread you'll see I got those same ones and I kind of went on a rant. I messed up the first two times because I thought it would be easy to remove the sticker they put on there to help you remove the mask and I wound up pressing too hard and creating a warp in the material that looked like a bubble that would never go away. I finally got the third one on right and it looks great. I still need to see what it's like in direct sunglight though and tt's a little uneven to one side, but horizontally it's as straight and even as could be.

Well I was also lacking sleep and was already a little irrate trying to get this tablet in the first place. That sticker just really pissed me off. What I wound up doing on my last attempt was taking a very sharp pocket knife and gently sliding it between the stick and the screen protector and getting as much off as possible. Then I applied the SP and took the rest of the gunk off with rubbing alcohol and q-tips. looks great now and considering the price the screen protector is worth it. You just have to know how to apply them.

So overall these COD screen protectors are a decent purchase for $4. What is the sticker everyone keeps commenting on, its not in the picture so I wanted to find out before I wasted my time on it.

Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector *The BEST*

You're struggles are over! I have been looking for the best screen protector for edge devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the best! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing it. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you will be an expert in no time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaNK59tMsBQ
Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important as a beginner that you make sure the surface is level (Use a physical bubble level and have business cards nearby) and leave the alignment bars (Plastic L Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the table he had, therefor as you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was use to this sort of thing happening, and quickly corrected the issue. I find the alignment bars to get in my way when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did use these alignment bars, think of them as training wheels. Just be sure when you manually align the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their 3 bumps and that they are not lifting your screen. Make sure your surface is level otherwise the adhesive could pour over the edges of the phone. Business cards help immensely, along with not working on installation in the middle of a 2 piece table.
Review
Before I continue please keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of here. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also get an added bonus... The UV light can be used by women or given to women as a gift to dry their nails. Oh you're a guy and have no use for it? Ever had a car windshield chip?
You can get a repair kit and use the UV light to dry the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry the paint, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your wedding ring finger... Just kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to find the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch screen sensitivity issues with the Otterbox Defender due to the built in plastic screen protector and dealing with dirt and easy scratches, I went back to my Note 4. Then the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an edge phone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the phone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer have a screen protector that for some silly reason only had glue around the edges which made the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that most times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity issues and it feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features actually work.
Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Commuter, defenders do not work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie battery case and test it out. If you have any cases that work well, please let me know so I can get a compatibility list going
Confirmed List
Commuter

UAG
https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
Q: Can I put a case on after installation?
A: No you need to wait 24 hours for curing.
Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: You will need to wait 1 hour.
Q: How long should I set aside time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around 1 hour plus the 1 hour wait after before you can use your phone
Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't find anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked one and ended up having to purchase another one, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:

I'm also using the whitestone dome.
I highly recommend it.
It won't take an hour to install it, but DO take your time.
Also, when it's installed and cured, when you use the LAST alcohol wipe, scrub the side of the phone too! I had a little leakage and it's oily and nasty.

Yea I covered that in the video as well. It smells really strong so I would def use the wipe on the entire phone.

I'm also using the Whitestone. It's seriously the best solution. It's like $45, but that's the only screen protector you will need to buy. I've wasted more than $45 trying out different, crappier screen protectors. Should have just gone with Whitestone to start with.

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Absolutely brilliant idea with the screen protector I must say! I really appreciate the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I do typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure as they get in my way for aligning below the camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector up while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you have a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone will want to have a physical bubble level nearby to complete the task or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to keep an eye on the edges for any possible lifting.

took me only 10 minutes to install and have been using for 2 weeks now. no problems at all. This is the best tempered glass protector out there

Thanks for the tips and video !
Ordered one

Does the glue leave any residue if for whatever reason you need to remove the screen protector?

Hello all,
I order this screen protect after watching the video (thank you for the great video). I would have to say this is one of the best screen protectors that I have personal used.
After installing the screen protector and admiring the sexynes i decided to purchase a clear case from Spigen Ultra Hybrid - Crystal . After one day of use I notice that the screen had lifted on the bottom left ??? and now I have a line of air bubbles.
Does anyone have any suggestion on a clear case to use with this screen protector. I thought the video suggested this one to work but probably I did something wrong.
Any suggestions on what clear case to use (please no thin clear case)
Or how can I fix the air bubbles....
???

I've had a whitestone on my phone for about 2 months now. Probably the best glass protector for curved screens. I hope they expand to more brands and models that have curved displays since it's the only one that works properly.

Does the glue leave any residue if for whatever reason you need to remove the screen protector?

Hello monkey39, this is Whitestone.
There should be no glue left behind when removing the screen protector.
But if there are some residue, it can easily be removed with alcohol swab.
If you have any more questions or feedback, just reply here.
Thank you.

Hey, thanks for the reply! And, since you offered , another question: where can I buy one for the Galaxy S8 plus? I was looking on Amazon today, but could only find the one for the S8 - does this one fit both the S8 and S8 plus? https://goo.gl/K47KFc

I need a good tempered glass screen protector...

So, what's the best tempered glass screen protector that fits cases and has adhesive on the WHOLE SCREEN PROTECTOR? Thanks!
Right now, my stupid screen protector has adhesive only on the edges and it makes a click sound whenever I type -__- very annoying, so I want a tempered glass screen protector that has adhesive everywhere and fits cases. Thanks

Have you possibly tried reading any of the threads including what I see is the massively long thread about screen protectors in this sub-forum? Asking the question that's been answered without doing the research yourself isn't really useful and just adds more of the same messages.

Pitaka everything. Ive tried multiple "top rated" cases and protectors from amazon and pitaka has been the only one thats actually quality and actually makes sense of what its purpose is.

Well, if you actually read my post, then you'd know I DID in fact read the 2 posts about screen protectors on here (the screen protector posts talk about screen protectors with adhesive on edges only). Maybe YOUU should read next time instead of posting smart ass useless comments that just make you look stupid

Whitestone dome glass there's a whole thread on it .it's the best

*sigh* my mother always said never argue with idiots, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. So many threads, so many of the same repeated questions, so much noise.

good luck on finding tempered glass that doesn't have one of many issues.
I tried a number and all failed, so I went with the old flexible film protection. easy to put on, protects the screen from scratches etc, and entire thing sticks very well. it comes already shaped as the screen as they are the official Samsung screen protection and you can get them here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDJ6CT2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was REALLY REALLY regretting buying this phone until I found this. You get 2 of them for that price by the way.
Anyways, hope that helps.

Yes, the answer is there really is none (except for Whitestone, which is $50). Thanks for wasting both of our time with your childish and useless response in the first place. Pot, meet kettle! Although that'll probably go over your simpleton head

I rlyyyy prefer the tempered glass one. I do have insurance (cracked screen= $150 to fix), but I'd rather not have to use that. Tempered glass screen protectors have saved my ass countless times in the past with previous phones, and from what I've read, this one is even more fragile than past phones. So IMO, film is not the way to go unfortunately.

Found this and ordered it. Good review. I'll report back once they come in.

This one has me really interested and is new.

I don't know how to post inteegrated YouTube videos like above, sorry.
It's still only edge adhesive however he says it's fairly strong and hadn't come off in a week of use and he's going to report back again after a month. Also he says it doesn't effect screen sensitivity what so ever.
The edge adhesive worries me still, also they misspelled "friendly" on the box. I wish it was on Amazon to see reviews since their site has no review section. Product link is in his drop down info or whatever you call it on YouTube.

not sure why you think tempered glass is going to protect your screen against breaks anymore than film considering it is the case you use that would determine that. the rear glass is fragile, but the front glass is actually not
do your research from users who actually tried many of the glass protectors. like I said, if it wasnt for the film protection I have now, I would be looking at other phones and take the loss.

Exactly. Screen protectors help with scratches, but NOT breaks.
That is complete fake science, and anyone that says they help with shatters is just wrong.
If you've had your tempered glass screen protector break, but not your screen, it is simply because the screen protector is much thinner. Your screen would not have broken without the screen protector on that same drop either...

So far I've had 3 screen protectors on my device when I dropped it. The protector shattered, stuck on the device, but the device's screen didn't shatter. So... I'm here to trump your "fake science" with real facts. Screen protectors, at least glass ones for me, worked great to preserve the integrity of the actual glass on the device from spidering and breaking.
Actual conversation I had with some guy who was bragging about how he was so proud that he had his third crapple screen replaced:
Him: I found this really cool place that replaced my screen for $60
Me: I'm just careful
My "three" incidents were with three different devices in over 15 years. I marvel at these people I see on the subway with completely shattered screens. What are people doing that they cannot hold on their devices? Do people do NOT get that these are upwards of $500 devices? It's like not caring that you're driving your car into a brick wall and driving around with a completely smashed front-end of your car.

I've had this for a month or two. I like it, but it is very easily scratched. I had scratches within 10 minutes with busy my switchblade key in the same pocket

I cracked my S8 screen that cost me $200 to fix.
Now I am using Gobukee full adhesive glass already for several months. So far so good.

I need a good tempered glass screen protector
Ounier Full Coverage Bubble-Free Screen Protector as it was one of the first brands to come up when searching for screen protectors for Samsung Galaxy S9. My phone is fairly new and I needed to have it fully protected first before I include it in my busy daily routine. I’m the kind of person who chooses convenience over price, but as this product was recommended by a friend (for his S8), I gave it a chance. Besides, It’s really great that the pack has 2 screen protectors; the easier to change, the better. I’ve also had bad experiences with other screen protectors for my old phones as they sometimes hinder with some of the phone’s features, like the double tap, the sensors, etc. Since my friend can’t recall any troubles at all with this protector, this eased my mind a bit with what it had to offer.
I’ve always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?
I got the screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.

Whitestone dome is the best one I've used. It saved my screen countless times before it finally broke. Worked well with all my cases.
Was looking to see if anything newer has been released bit I guess not.

Best TGSP for Pixel 2?

Hello all,
I'm looking for the best tempered glass screen protector for Pixel 2. I have looked through the List of Google Pixel 2 Screen Protectors and I have searched Amazon too, but the reviews are either fake-5-star-reviews, or generally poor reviews.
Can anyone recommend the best option for a Pixel 2 tempered glass screen protector?
Thank you

I have this one and it's the best IMHO and is case friendly. I can attach some pics for you tomorrow.
https://amzn.to/2Psxbes

Spigen, take your time as it fits perfectly side to side on the visual part of the screen only.

Ia am using This glass and it's my third glas right now. 2 times saved my display.
It fits perfect, it is curved.

If you are looking for the best, whitestone dome is probably the way to go. It is expensive though. If you aren't worried about full adhesive and curved so it passes the edge of the display there are a lot more options. Spiegen is good for a lower cost option, but it only goes to the edge of the display and doesn't curve.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll definitely use one of these screen protectors

Quick question: do you (or does anyone on the forum) have one of these and can tell me if I can use it in combination with Google's fabric case?
(Also, I am currently in Germany. I can order one, but the translated text on the Amazon listing sounds like a scam. It also claims to "take away blue light". I want my display as intended, not blue-filtered.
FTR, I've been trying to get the "official" SP (Power Support) from the Google store, buy it isn't available in Germany.

I'm currently using one. I think it would fit the Google case, but I haven't tried. I've used it with an OtterBox symmetry, a speigen tpu, and with the moment case with no issues. It covers the full display but still leaves gaps on the edges.
I haven't noticed any significant blue light filtering but I did see that the description stated that. I can try to compare it against another Pixel 2 with a different screen protector and see.

Thanks, that would be nice of you if you could have a look at a second Pixel 2.
FTR, I turned off colour boosting, and really appreciate the near-natural colour provided by Google's OLED settings. I couldn't understand why people complained about the "faded" colours in the beginning. I bought this thing as a camera with a phone, and I want to see my photos as close to what I see while shooting them. Filtering blue light is a bit of a deal-breaker for the glass dome, if perceivable.

I've had 2 Whitestone Dome Glass protectors. The first had to be replaced when my phone slipped through the gap in my pull out couch and when trying to get out it slipped under one of the couch legs, crushing the screen (no screen protector will help in that case). The second came in today, after some back and forth with Whitedome trying to figure out why it was showing out of stock on Amazon, and I had to trash it less than an hour after opening it.
The first one was a hassle to install but once installed I really, really liked it. The second had a broken bottom piece for installation, causing an imbalance in the phone and I went through 3 (one left over from first install) adhesion tubes before I realized that was why a good bit was slipping over the edge of the phone and not across the display. When I realized what was going on I was kind of angry it even happened, wasn't paying much attention, and the protector cracked when I was removing it to try and clean up everything...
I either got lucky with the first or REALLY unlucky with the second, but either way I'm not buying another one. The installation process isn't exceedingly difficult, but it's just way too cumbersome for what it should be, costs too much, and just isn't worth the headache. Really disappointed in it. Luckily Amazon did me a solid and is letting me refund it.
That first was by far the best I found for TGSP's for the Pixel 2. I'm really hoping the Pixel 3 goes back to fully flat glass, not this "it's curved just enough at the edges to make it extra difficult for third parties to make screen protectors" crap.

Follow-up: I tried it and it works with the fabric case, there is stilla gap. @jppowers is right about the installation process, it is a buggerance. I had an air bubble, glue spilled under the protective sticker on the speaker and it was generally cumbersome.
There is some blue light filtering, which makes sense given that the glue is near-UV-polymerised, but my brain compensates this and I don't see it if not in direct comparison with a screen without the protector.

Hello,
Does this screen protector actually curves around the 2.5d edge of Pixel 2 or is it just that the edges are sloping to give a smoother feel when finger meets the edge of scren protector, but the actual contact surface side of scren proterctor is flat? Would be awesome if you could share close up pictures of this protector on your phone. I am wondering if this screen protector actually creates no ugly halo effect around the preimeter when applied?

Thank you this one looks interesting, tempted to buy one myself, but maybe you have idea why there is significant amount of dust stuck? Is protector not full adhesive? Could it be that due to contouring it is unable to stick to whole screen surface properly? Misapplied or high-dust environment?

Hey, I don't really know what could be the problem. At the beginning everything was OK, but later problem with dust appeared. I am in normal surroundings, with no extra dust. Office-house.
I bought, as reserve, from same guy foil protection also. Maybe it will be better.

When a screen protector only has glue on the edges the dust enters at the speaker openings. I'm still using my original Spigen Glass protector with zero dust since it adheres to the whole screen but doesn't cover the curved sides, the pack comes with 2 protectors and I will swap it out soon as the fingerprint resistance isn't the best anymore(but it's been almost a year).

Whitestone's Dome is definitely the best by far, but just as everyone else has mentioned, the installation process is a massive hemorrhoid. For what they charge they oughta include a professional in-home installation service.
I highly suggest to anyone who gets the Dome, set aside 2 hours, watch the videos online, prep your area, and be extremely patient. Also, make sure you've eaten and haven't had anything that will make you jittery or anxious like coffee, it will make the whole process much easier to handle and you'll be much less likely to fly into a rage if you run into issues.
Also, as mentioned by others, be sure to fully inspect your glass before you attempt to install it. There is a very thin film on the back of the glass to keep it from splintering in the event of a shatter, and sometimes they end up with bubbles between the glass and film during manufacturing. I went through both tubes of adhesive and a lot of frustration before I realized the bubble was not a personal application error but a flaw in the glass. Getting a replacement was no issue, but I still lost two hours and grumbled quite a few choice words.
Caveats aside, it's a superb full coverage TGSP.
