First off, shoutout to Otao for sending me this screen protector to check out. Now let's just jump into it.
The Good:
The edges are very sticky and have not came off of the phone at all as of yet (I will update this post if they do start to lift). .
The guide for installation is very good and actually clicks into place so there is no confusion as to whether or not it is on right.
The cases that I have fit well with the protector and don't actually touch it. (Spigen, VRS and RhinoShield)
Inside the box there was a bag of "screen protector accessories" (Alcohol wipe, tape and microfiber cloth.)
The glass doesn't take away sensitivity or the force touch home feature.
The not so good:
The Installation guide does seem to put the screen protector just a smidge lower than I would like for it to be. (cuts off a little tiny bit from the top of the screen, nothing that would hinder use.)
The dot matrix is visible in certain lighting but is not a big deal when compared to some of the other protectors I have checked out.
The only issue with the edges is that they are a little thick and will collect dust or lint over time. (this is just a pet peeve of mine)
Black edges
Here are some pics.

Finished product.
Verdict:
The screen protector from Otao is on amazon and this is a very good product that is easy to install. At $11.99 this screen protector is well worth the money. Especially when compared to the more expensive ones from places like BestBuy. If you are in the market to buy an affordable screen protector that you can install right the first time then I highly recommend this one. Ease of installation is a big deal for me because there is nothing worse then putting your screen protector on wrong and then trying to reconfigure it. You lose the stickiness and run the risk of breaking it. My favorite tempered glass protector was the Verizon one, followed by Olixar but this one is just as good if not better. If ya'll have any questions let me know.
People say that 2017 is the year of the disappearing bezels. I think it is also the year that the tempered glass screen protector makes a comeback.

Right?! Its super easy. The only thing that could make install easier is if there were some tabs to hold on to while you drop it in to place. I use scotch tape lol.
the protector is crap.
after a week you get dust under the protector, its only edge adhesive.
i removed it already

No problems here so far. But it's only been 3 days.
I have also been using the OTAO for the past week and like it. The fitting with the tray installation worked well and endured the screen protector was spot on. The glass feels nice and is clear. My only gripe is it easily attracts fingerprints.

I get this huge rainbow streak on my screen, its specially noticeable in the browser or the SMS app which have white backgrounds, its not that my protector hasn't settled in because I have been using it for over a weekim sure it has dried already.
I'm thinking maybe the protector was damaged on the shipping process? I'm saying this because the case it was on came in a not so good condition and the squeegee was stuck on the protector, it was an international shipping so I can't take it back, does somebody else has the same issue?
I have read about the rainbow effect on cheap screen protectors that's why in not fully convinced that it was damaged in the shipping process .

It's a defect, and not all of their screen protectors have them. I've had two that did, and two that didn't. Contact them and they'll send you one or two new ones for free. They have the most amazing customer service ever.

I have the same thing, I messaged them and they're sending a replacement.
They have a little section on their website where you can write them a message, so that's what I did. They got back to me right away.
I had a similar problem with my Realook sp. It only seems to happen on wet install sp's. On a white backgroud, it seems like there are water particles under the screen which gives that rainbow effect. I ordered a replacement and just got it today but have yet to install it. Realook told me its a defect in wet install sp's. Current I am using my Ringboo dry install sp and it has no problem at all, super crystal clear and u can't even tell that it is on. The only thing that bothers me is that its smaller than the screen so some parts are left exposed. I'll try to install the wet install Realook sp tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Found this number for them on Google 801-225-4414 Its on their Corporate office map listing so who knows who you will speak to. Their contact page may be quicker

I have received one from them with the squeegee adhered to the screen protector from the heat while shipping. Then the replacement was jacked too...the plastic envelope it was in caused a weird pattern in the protector which remained after install. They do respond to your request or concerns in a timely manner which is a plus.
After using both wet and dry install protectors...I prefer the dry install screen protectors like Seidio sells.
I've seen a few posts for the spigen glas.t, but not much for the glas.tr for this phone, so I thought I would share my experience. I took the plunge and bought one recently. Let me preface this by saying that I hate, and I mean hate screen protectors, but I just got it installed and I must say this thing is awesome. I can't hardly tell the thing is on there, clarity is great, and it feels just like the screen. I'm using it with a poetic atmosphere case and they both work together perfectly (I actually hate cases too but this phone I am scared of :silly. The lip of the case comes almost right to the edge of the glass, and the rounded edges make it seem almost part of the design. I will say my first one had issues, as the edges didn't stick to the phone so it had bubbles around it, I took it off almost immediately. Amazon overnighted me a second one and that's the one I have on right now, it has no issues at all. So if anybody is interested I would totally recommend this thing, coming from a screen protector hater

The glass lies flat with the screen, but the round part of the rounded edges don't go all the way to the bottom, it created an edge part of the way down, so this edge catches a little dust.

I bought it through Amazon, contacted their customer service, and explained the issue with the first one. She said since the item listing said no exchanges, she told me to buy a new one with overnight shipping, she then removed the shipping charges, and gave me a label to return the other one. So essentially a free exchange, but in a roundabout way.
I've been wondering how these were, thanks!
Ive never used a glass screen protector before. What are the main benefits over something like a Zagg? Have you noticed any reduction in sensitivity for the screen or capacitive buttons?

I haven't noticed a difference in sensitivity, sometimes it's a little weird to hit the rounded edge when you go for the home/back button. But everything works just as it did without the glass on.

Any recent reviews for this protector? I really just hope sgp comes out with one, but.....really want to get something on the screen before my son scratches it
Order a full body protector, love this brand of screen protector. Doesn't have any orange peel effect and always stay on for a long time. Had one on my N4 and it's last about 6 months before the corners start to peel up. Couldn't even get 2 months with zagg protector.
Last weekend I installed an extreme guard screen protector on my wife's Galaxy S3 and it was a total PITA. This is a "wet" application, so you have have to wet the device and dunk the screen protector in water. The screen protector is so floppy that alignment is difficult. I reapplied it 3-4 times. I couldn't get all the bubbles out, but 95% of them disappeared after 12 hours. Unfortunately 2-3 lint pieces got in during all that reapplying. I had a similar experience with Zagg installs. There's a video on the page (look for "Installation Instructions" tab in middle-center of the page). The material has a rubbery feel, which people either love or hate.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Asus-Goo...-2-screen-protector.htm?CartID=1#.UflyRdJwpBm
Here is Zagg's instructions, which will be similar to Extreme Guard. Extreme Guards don't come with a spray mentioned in the Zagg instructions.

On my N4 it feels great. Has a nice smooth texture, just enough to give some added grip to an extremely slippery phone. I don't think it adds to much bulk either but I don't use a case, so if it does I don't notice it. Also provides some grip when laying the phone down on a table and trying to use it.
Any idea on shipping times for this? (or has anyone gotten any shipping notices)
I've tried 6 screen protectors and finally found one without any issues. #5 was a zizo and it fit but had a stupid rainbow and the top corner randomly broke in my pocket after a month.
I bought this one on ebay. It covers the whole screen, fits perfectly, has a curved screen, no rainbow, air bubbles, and doesn't lift up at the ends. I'm finally happy with my screen protector

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.

Cannot get it. I got one note and the screen protector was damaged right out of the box. They sent me $10 coupon and told me to go buy one from another vendor. They do not have them available for sale and are short. Only being put on new phones
I would like to know too, as it is very, very good indeed, super oleophobic, almost invisible
Yeah not much protection against drops though but something is better than nothing.

However you can find film screen protectors on eBay which work well.
i have used Aqua flex on my other phones and it has been great as if you apply it correct its decent for the purpose
Ironically, same here like the others. I'd love to buy this OEM protector, and not have to worry about trying to figure out what brand and experiment any longer.. I'm getting old and have better things to do these days..

whitestone uv glue totally damages the orginal coating.
Unfortunately I gave up a couple of weeks ago and decided to give THIS a try. Excellent screen protector both smooth and doesn't have the rubber feel to it it also doesn't leave permanent marks on the protector like other ones.

Do you know if they changed it since the Note 9? I tested it with it and it was unfortunately a bit too rubbery, and since the official one is very smooth but easily damaged, I'm a bit afraid.

I've tried multiple protectors and this one seems smooth to me. The most important thing to me that it doesn't create permanent streaks when used with the s pen. I can't comment on the note 9 one since I've never used it. Another plus is it doesn't have the camera cutout. The alignment can be tricky but just take your time and it end results come out great.
