Screen protection

So I was wondering if anyone had input on a good screen protector. I keep trying the cheaper ones an I'm always left with bubbles that I can't get out. Or its just not cut right.
Is it worth it to pay for the high end ones? Are they better with bubbles?? Amazon reviews I can't always trust, but you guys I do
Suggestions??
I'll take AOKP anything

I second this. They feel closest to glass to me.

OK cool. What about application? How hard are they to install? I used to do vinyl on windows and walls, that's no where near as impossible to apply smoothly

Go with Zagg Invisible Shield. BUT take it to an official Zagg/invisible shield employee..you can usually find booths in the mall. i say this because they take the time to apply it the correect way. unlike bestbuy or sprint who would just wipe the screen and slap the thing on there...or look up a youtube video on how to install invisible shield correctly...

zagg screen protectors are great.

I really like the ones that come with otterbox's any cheap ones its just better to not have one at all

Ditto

I second that recommendation. I have had Zagg Invisishields on my last 4 phones and swear by them. They have a great lifetime warranty too.

Thanks! I just replaced a broken screen and wanted to get some good protection. I've bought off amazon before and their stuff just is cheap and doesn't feel right. Going to see if there is a Zagg booth in the mall by me!

hi
I got these matte finished screen protectors for like $5 on amazon there pretty good. if your still looking i can send you the link to it.

Honestly, I had a protector on mine for 6-8 months, I can't remember exactly. Took it off and never looked back.
I love the feel of the glass, and it's always in it's Sena leather slipcase, or charging. I don't think I would consider putting a protector back on at all, and when I upgrade this fall (Note 3???) I doubt I'll use one on it either.

Xtremeguard screen protectors on sale guys!!

alot of problems so I guess buy at your own risk

Ordered. thanks!

I've used them in the past with no issues, just order 2 screen protectors and 2 glass screen protector for £9,so can't really argue

Just got a glass and a regular for $3.40, not expecting the best here but that is cheaper than most shipping and will last me until I decide what the best one to get is. Thanks for the post.

I have one on right now. What's so crappy about it? I'm sure all of the glass ones are equally crappy but for a couple of bucks who can complain haha

got the tempered glass a few days ago...the size wasnt correct...my m8 had the perfect fit for the tempered glass...i spoke to them they are replacing my order but hopefully they have fixed the size of the glass it didnt cover the screen completely

Need glass that doesnt pop off when using cover

Hi
I have an issue when using a cover on my S8+
I tried 2 covers with my Panzer glass and they both pushed it off. Then i thought the glass was too big and the problem didnt lie in the covers.
Right now i have this cover http://www.skechit.co.uk/en/shop/galaxy-s8-plus/item/crystal-48
I live en Denmark and i just saw a post on a verizon glass and i cant get that here in DK
Can anyone help me out?

Why not try the Whitestone Dome like everyone else?

Ended up buying some kind of film instead. Cant find a place to buy the whitestone unless i want to pay 13£ shipping.

Or you can do what I did. Buy a cheap tempered glass screen protector and a bottle of LOCA glue and a UV light and do it yourself. Takes a couple tries to get it just right, but totally worth it in the end.

Seems like a top class solution, I would like to try, but so many questions, hope you don't mind.
What was the procedure you used, how did you get the glue to spread evenly? Did you cover the whole screen or just strategic parts? Did it affect screen sensitivity? How long is the curing process? How long has the protector been on your phone since application? Does it stop sides lifting when case fitted? What problems did you encounter?
Don't mean to impose on your time, but is it possible to do a step by step guide or vid, I'm sure many people here on xda would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance. Even if you're not able to do any of this, your input on this vexing issue is more than appreciated.

There's already a video someone else made. Go to YouTube and search for S8 screen protector LOCA. The only difference is I used an actual UV light instead of setting it out in the sun.
The first TGSP was on my phone for a couple weeks, then I dropped my keys on it and scratched it. This new one has been on for about a week now.
As far as problems? The install is messy, but other than that no issues at all.

take a look at the Dendrobates screen protector,made of hybrid material.may give you another option for fully adhesive for curved screen.

Anyone tried Quntechi Tempered Glass?

I'm looking for something cheaper than the white dome that'll work with the fingerprint sensor. On Amazon I stumbled upon this: https://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Qun...red+glass+uv&qid=1556643737&s=gateway&sr=8-54
It seems to be a new product since there are no reviews. Anyone have experience with it?
UPDATE: I decided to purchase it because it had free prime one day shipping and I needed protection. A buddy of mine always buys whitedome and couldn't tell the difference. it was obviously a little more complicated than your regular tempered glass install but it took about 10 minutes of my time to get it almost perfect. Even after I had accidentally spilled some of that glue to the side. Fingerprint sensor still works, no issues there. Fit perfectly with my Spigen clear case. Saved $20 from whitestone, I'm happy.

This is only $15 cheaper than WhiteStone Dome, is saving $15 really worth the possible effects/problems of putting something with zero reviews on your $1,000 device?

It is a tempered glass screen protector... I cannot justify spending $50 on a piece of glass... The price is still somewhat high but it looks like it provides an almost identical experience for less. I didn't ask because I was worried about side effects. I was just curious if the fingerprint sensor would function properly, I probably should have clarified that.

WhiteStone also comes with a extra tube of glue in case you mess up the first installation and a lifetime warranty on their products. Seems worth the $15 over this generic brand IMO.

Why not trying InvisShield? for what I've read it is not as good as whitestone (smoothness) but its a fraction of the cost. I've ordered it and will get it next thursday, could get 2 screen protectors and 3 tubes of glue for less than the whitestone.

Not Bull, but there is a $10 shipping fee for a replacement glass. Similar to other company warranties like OtterBox they charge you $7 shipping for warranty replacement.

And imo whitestone isn't worth the price. I've tried to use them on my past s9 and s9 phones as well as my note series phones. All of them eventually started prying up at the corners and sides from cases. Imo if you cant use a case with it, it isn't worth it. And to be clear I was using spiegen cases.
For this reason I stopped using screen protectors on all curved glass phones.

Sorry to tell you but your issues with WhiteStone are user error and self inflicted. I have also used WhiteStone on the Note8, S9+ and Note9 and never had your prying up issues. But then again I also research and make sure the case I choose fits with the WhiteStone dome glass so they are a perfect match, so if the case you choose rubs the glass and eventually raises the glass that would be your fault and not the WhiteStone. There are "WhiteStone Case Capability" threads here on XDA and other forums online, check them out prior to making your purchase.

I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with you on this, if it works for you then great. I for one buy a case that fits my needs and one that I like, I don't settle for something to conform because its compatible to a product.
It's not user error the loca is spread eventually throughout the entire screen protector and it is cured. This happens after 3 or 4 months after the screen protector is applied not right away. This is my experience with the product. Your mileage may vary and like I said great.

Whitestone dome isn't anything special from the generics. The $50 glass screen protector days are coming to an end for them.
Of course they're still suckers who think cuz you pay more you get more which isn't true

This. When checking on Amazon, a bunch of alternatives don't come with a tray which is probably why they're looked down upon, this does so I see no benefit of having the white dome.

I just bought this and should arrive tomorrow. I'll update with the findings later. Im not about to pay $50 for a screen protector from whitestone, that's ridiculous. Especially since the reviews are so mixed where it's concerned. And im not worried about a warranty, if it goes bad I'd honestly rather just take the loss instead of dealing with customer service ssns STILL not getting a replacement.

I bought a $12 Loca UV TGSP direct from Korea & it works well with the FPS. It just requires more pressure to unlock, kind of like before the FPS update.
I'm glad I waited & didn't shell out $50 for the Whitedome.

Zag Screen Protectors

Just a heads up for those wanting glass screen protectors, Zag is selling them now (unlike Google Store at time of writing) and not sure why but got a big discount. 2 of the Glass Elite VisionGuard+for*Google Pixel 5 for $75 after tax and shipping. They gave me a 30% off discount.
Probably get them cheaper later, but last time we got phones on release date (Pixel 2) we didn't get screen protectors until a week after the phones showed up. So this time we got cases and screen protectors right away.

Bro liquid glass is the way to go. I have been through a ton of glass screen protectors on the 2 XL and they all suck, even the expensive ones. I got liquid glass and never looked back. P5 might be different because the screen is flat, but I'm getting liquid glass anyway. You can always do liquid and throw a glass screen on top of it.

I had mine applied at Fixit Mobile, and I believe they use WowFixit. From what I have read, the products all use Silicon Dioxide as the main ingredient. I don't know that much about the product, except that it works well, it's not noticeable, and does resist fingerprints somewhat. It's not perfect for fingerprints, but I haven't got any scratches in about a year. I have heard that you should reapply after a year, so I probably need to reapply. I will do some research and make a post at some point. I plan to do liquid glass on my P5, so I should post something in the next 2-3 weeks. This is something I looked at recently.

Sounds a lot like the "ceramic coating" that is promoted for use on car paint all the time now. I'd be willing to bet it's the same thing.

The cheap "9H ceramic coating" or spray on SiO2 coatings anyway, not the year-long lasting professional ones.

If I'm being honest I've been less than satisfied with their product on my Pixel 2XL. I went through 3 or 4 via their warranty process and just gave up and went naked with a bumper case. Much happier, with minimal scratching after owning since release (preordered).
I'll always use a case because I abuse things but I am finding more and more that screen protectors aren't a necessity, even for someone who throws phones in backpacks etc when out on a trail.

Ordered one and it didn't sit down all the way. It wouldn't stay down on the lower right corner, despite no dust or anything. Ended up disappointed and moved on.

So this is definitely a "your mileage may vary" sort of deal. I purchased two of the zagg protectors, along with a pack of Spigen and Otomon tgsps. So I was prepared.
Anyhow, I did the shower trick installation to keep dust from floating around. First Zagg I used would not apply around the camera lens no matter what. Tried the second Zagg that I ordered and although there were bubbles initially, they went away after 20 mins or so. Perfect installation.
Long story short, you shouldn't have to buy two of a certain tgsp like I did in the event that one is defective, but doing so worked out in my case. Your first application may work correctly or it may not.
Edit:. Also the fitment is perfect. There is no rainbowing on the sides due to being cut short. Could the tgsp have been a little wider? Maybe, but would risk it lifting on one of the sides.
