I'm currently using Spigen Galaxy S8 Plus Screen Protector NeoFlex with the "TECH21 Evo Check" Case with no issues.

I tried almost all whats available in the market, you name it, i tried it (expect for the zagg sphhire, still waiting for it).. Glass and film, tried them all, and i can highly recommend the iq shield wet film, so far the only one that you almost can't see it there, and definitely case friendly (subject to you applying it at the right position as a millimeter makes all the difference).. Try it and you will see.. Spigen wet film will be my second option, only its a bit more visible after applying it and more finger print magnite..
Alllllll, and i mean alllllll glass screen protectors are worthless, i tried at least 10 brands, cheap and expensive, and non works or sticks well, and definitely non is case friendly, the once that are, you can clearly see the adhesive through the glass after applying it, and that makes it soooo ugly..

I've got a Caseology (Spigen Tough Armor) and a MoKo 9h glass protector and they aren't compatible.

BearMotion with icarez glass. Pretty good combo.

I tried a Zagg Glass protector and it goes on very simple.. good coverage and touch resistance was fine.. Slipped the phone into a Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Zagg popped off.. So Not compatible at all..

Yes its

Yep, spigen tough armor and some tempered glass protectors aint compatible. Pushes up. Same thing for any other film protector for the tough armor. Pushes up on almost all i have tried. havent found one that works so im getting over this spigen tough armor.

I also have the IQ Shield case friendly and it works great with my 2 Supcase and Spigen Hybrid.

I bought this gel type screen protector, it fits flawlessly edge to edge and no bubbles or wrinkles! It's a wet install but it's so easy!

Awesome guys, thank you. :good:

I just ordered the iq one that was suggested. I have an otterbox defender so I'll see how it works with that case. From what I've read the glass protectors do not play nice with most cases.

I have the Ghost Armor wet film on my S8+ and think it's one of the better ones out there. I got a glass screen protector free with my purchase, but it is pretty terrible so I decided to go with a film one. And the Ghost Armor is case friendly.

I've got the GPEL glass screen protector with a spigen ultra hybrid case. No issues

I have the wet install skinomi case friendly protector.
It fits great and doesnt even look like its on there. Ive been using these since the note edge days.
They sell a 2pack for around $8 ship

Bought a spigen neo flex but its on b/o due to manufacturer flaw per seller.
In the mean time using one i got fro tmo and its fine except the edges that lift up and bubble.

Tested the Orzly TGSP with the Spigen Thin Fit, Rugged Armor and Orzly FlexiCase - worked with both the FlexiCase and Thin Fit, but NOT the Rugged Armor.

Best Galaxy S8+ Screen Protector?

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a new Samsung Galaxy S8+ screen protector. I was planning on getting this case but I had wanted a screen protector as well to protect such a device. Any suggestions? I've looked online and heard to find a good one is rare due to the fact of the curved edges as well as it being an expensive phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Side-Note: Any suggestions for another case would be nice as well, I like the one linked above but something with a slim factor would be nice too!

https://www.amazon.com/Whitestone-D...1497757988&sr=1-1&keywords=whitestone+s8+plus
Works well with the Spigen Neo Hybrid too.

Idk I've gone through 3 screen protectors with the same case listed above for some reason the case grabs the side of the screen protectors and it bubbles up I tried two expensive tempered glass screen protectors and each one with that same case popped off my phone so irritated right now I'm using just my bro hybird case with no screen protection

I am also in searching of some good glass... Unfortunately, all reports are so far divided. Some could manage put some glass, the others have more problems... In the other theme GravX put an interesting video with test samples with full adhesive tempered glass from alibaba. Itnwill take some time, until this will be available on amazon

It is worth it. I screwed up the install and they sent me a new tube of glue and screen protector for free.

I finally just gave up on finding a tempered glass protector I opted for a liquid glass nano screen protector applied two coats and slapped my case on no scratches nothing and I always end up throwing my phone in my pocket with my keys highly satisfied also barely any smudges it's legit for those have any trouble I recommend liquid glass Qdamix liquid glass to be exact
Fyi don't be the idiot who still doesn't have a military grade case on it.. if you drop the phone without a case the screen will crack period with a tempered glass or not so don't be an idiot and think this is gonna make the phone bullet proof nah it just prevents scratches nothing else!

Be careful, that liquid screen protector stuff is mostly snake oil. I've been caught out with it before and ended up with scratches just with the phone being in my pocket.

Screen Protectors for Samsung S8 Plus
Ounier Galaxy S8 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector, [Case Friendly][Easy Installation Tray] 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Black)
Due to curved edges of Galaxy S8 Plus, traditional full screen glass screen protectors will generate a halo effect on the edges. We have developed a Dot Matrix glass screen for Galaxy S8 Plus, which offers full screen protection without any bubbles or halo effects. This is accomplished with state of the art technology by placing hundreds of microscopic transparent dots on the screen protector to mimic the contact of your finger on the screen.

I'm using Spigen Glas.Tr full cover glass. Definitely recommend!

Get this one it's perfect for cases, supacase and spigen no issue no peeling off and it's only 4 odd pounds from ebay!

Would installing this Screen Protector on a screen with a little scratch FUBAR the installation?

Force Glass is no good
Hi,
I have this glass protection supposedly life guaranteed but it left bubbles on my screen even with the set up device included.

i buy the glass protectors that show a hammer hitting the screeen and then for an added measure when i put my phone in my pocket i turn the screen towards my leg

Screen protectors for the outside screen?

I think I've only seen one of them on Amazon so far (this one). It looks like it might be fine - but I'm not sure $36 is where I want to be. I'm hoping we'll see some more options pop up soon.
Anyone seen anything else yet?
I'm really thinking I want something on there considering that the Flex Mode will basically be resting on the screen side whenever you use it (or you'd get a wobble on the cameras).

Whitestone just came out with one on their website.

Thanks, just purchased with the discount code Newproduct20. It was $36. I love it on my Note 10, so I'll give it a try.

So I’m assuming the stock screen protector has to be removed for the Whitestone?

The outside screen protector is no problem. It's the inner one they caution against removing.

I chickened out. I cancelled the Whitestone one. I will leave it as is for a while. The Whitestone install video looks pretty complicated. I will see other reviews first. Feel like if I take off the pre installed one I might be sorry.

That video is pretty intense.

I see Verizon has a screen protector. I hope a better quality one becomes available.

If it has a factory installed protector on it, leave it on until it wears out. They provide better protection than you might first think.
Ha-ha I "tested" the one on my 10+ the 2and day I had it and faceplanted it on a rough piece of 1/16th inch aluminum angled upwards.
Marred the protector but no damage to the screen... it hit on the curved glass area, hard.
Sand will scratch these screens.
I would lean towards a wet apply urethane screen protector as they are durable, remain clear, fairly easy to apply, bubble free, self healing and are inexpensive.
Been having a good run with Gorilla IQ Sheild on my 10+. Bought 4 three months ago and still on the first one. Shows some wear on the keypad area but no scratches and I'm not babying it. Similar in feel to the factory installed protector.

Do you know if this is necessary on the fold 2? The only reason I buy whitestone tempered glass for my samsung phones is because the screen is curved and whitestone makes the best glass for curved screens. If the z Fold 2 doesn't have a curved front screen, then I think most tempered glass screen protectors should work.
So I guess my main question is, does the z fold 2 have a curve to the front screen?

The screen protector is for the outer screen, you dont need a protector for inside screen. Whitestone is a good company, sadly the code did not work for me. Did anyone get lucky yet?

Sorry just saw your question. Yes the z Fold 2 has one side of the front screen slightly curved. The side that opens to be specific.

Whitestone code no longer works. As soon as people started using it they yanked it.

Anyone using the Whitestone protector? They're sold out.

Because of the edges of the glass. I can feel the edges when playing games

Just received the Whitestone screen protector and installed it. It lined up perfectly with the hole punch camera, but doesn't quite cover the entire front glass. Had no adhesive dribble out on to my phone. But, did have to move the holder around to get the adhesive to fully disperse. I'm now just hoping that the first case I put on (when one of the five I ordered arrives), doesn't break the screen protector.

Question Outer/Cover Display Screen Protector

Can anyone recommend a tempered glass or other quality screen protector for the outer cover display? Something that you've personally used and can vouch for.
Thanks in advance!

Same. Front protector scratched on me 1st day. Also peeled up when I was opening. Need to replace.

Whitestone has a ez screen protector and also a liquid adhered protector. I have installed ez one without trouble since a few days before official release and it's still holding strong. You also get 2 for like $10 so you can't really beat it

Looks like it might have trouble fitting properly if used with a case. The black border looks problematic. Have you used it with a case and, if so, do you have any pics or comments on that? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out the best front screen protector as well. I would prefer tempered glass but have only seen a couple and not in stock at the moment. Still have the stock one on it but it's starting to bubble and peel/Crack on the sides.

I'm using these white stone dome front tempered glass screen protector. I got two of them for $10. They work decent with a case. But make sure it is a minimalistic case like the Samsung carbon fiber.

I am currently using samsungs silicone case and there is no problems with it coming off. Have not tried with a heavy duty case but I honestly don't see it as a problem

I got my leather case (samsung one) today and love it. However as soon as i applied it the cover screen plastic protector came off in the edge so i just removed it.
since it seems pretty thick on the inside - is there any 9h glass available yet which fits with the case? Or can i go to a samsung store and they reapply the plastic one on the cover screen?
i dont mind paying

I'm using the Whitestone glass screen protector. NOT the EZ. I've used it on all my phones since it was first released, including I Note devices and the Z Fold 2.

I use this for Extra protection

Whitestone Dome Glass UV.

I'm waiting on these to get delivered to me today actually. The stock one on my front screen is starting bubble and peel up on the side. My case kinda covers it up but the stock one is also picking up quite a few scratches. Hopefully these will do the job. Isn't that easy to fine a good tempered glass screen protector for this device. Spigen looks to be coming out with one but not available yet.

In UK is available from Amazon.

I'm using the Ringke Slim and I really like it. I ordered the Spigen S Pen case, but it won't ship for another week or so. Looks bigger than I'd like, but definitely need something I can switch to when I really need to carry the S Pen and don't want to have it loose in a pocket.
I also ordered the official Samsung Aramid case (which also won't arrive for another week or two). Based on the reports I've read and the pics I've seen, the Aramid appears to be the slimmest case available for the ZF3. I hate bulky cases, especially on a device that's as large as the ZF3, so I'm guessing I'll probably settle on the Aramid for 90% of my daily use.

Thanks buddy, how are you finding the ringke slim? I was keen on that until i read a few amazon reviews mentioning the case had scratched their devices? Have you had any such issue? Would be good to hear if you used the sticky pads and if they are easy/hard to remove.

Great case. No scratches. Not sure how anyone scratched their Fold with this case. You'd have to be pretty damn careless to do that. I used the adhesive strips.

Question best case to use with glass screen protector

i want to buy a case but idk the situation. found a fake otterbox like case on amazon but i want to use a glass screen protector or a skinomi screen protecor. any thoughts?
im active ALOT and outside so i need the case to match or exceed my limits. the fake otterbox is the choice but i need glass on the screen and glass on the camera portion. thought about poetic series but idk... would love a case that is life ready with glass screen friendly.

From my experience, many cases don't fit with the glass screen protector so I always use a film screen protector from Gadgetshieldz which is installed with liquid that provides an extra layer of protection to the display. As the protector has a self-healing feature that heals most of the scratches on it which I like the most about this product. Is that Skinomi a film-like protector?

How ware these and how long do they last - compared to the factory screen protector? Does the corners lift over time?
If I order one, do I need the "Case Fit" version?

I've been using the factory fitted film since I got the phone in June, always have a ringke fusion case, no signs of lifting anywhere. Not sure if it will work with the glass you're talking about

The screen protector lasted for about 7-8 months for me and they are good compared to factory protectors because they stick well enough and don't peel off. If you're going to use a back case then the case-fit screen protector is enough because the case would protect the edges.

Thanks. I use the OP carbon bumper case. I will order the case-fit version
