[SP][PICS] XGear Phantasm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nexus 7

That's right, it's arrived!
As we all know, Google skimped on the Corning glass on our Nexus devices, so we only have "hardened glass" instead of the almighty Gorilla; making them more scratch-prone than other devices on the market. XGear, after their successes with the Galaxy Nexus, SIII, and Galaxy Note tempered glass SPs, have just released one for the Nexus 7.

Pics @ Imgur featuring the Phantasm from my old case thread:

lol at their asking price, i would rather get another chinese tablet with JB and IPS for about 100 bucks than to spend 70 bucks on this thing
on the other hand, i would probably pay 10 bucks for something similar to this

Problem is you're not going to get glass for $10. It's not realistic. Plus you have to weigh the other facts: it feels like bare screen, it's superior protection to any other SP out there, and more scratch resistant than the actual screen. I do agree that 1/3 the cost of the device is a little crazy though.
But either way.. it's the best protection you can get for your existing device.

@ 70 bucks, get squaretrade instead, at least it will protects you against more than just scratches
if i remember correctly, asus charges about the same or less to replace someone's cracked screen

Yea. I recommend getting a SGP and call it a day.
Gorilla glass is over rated. I had my Nexus One for years completely naked and its pristine. My G2x had tiny scratches after a few months. My Galaxy Nexus.... just fine. Guess which one had Gorilla glass?
Most glass these days are tempered anyway. Gorilla is just a name brand. Still cracks and scratches. Look how many iPhones have broken and scratched glass. My son threw his Galaxy Tab off a second floor railing onto a bare wood floor... and nothing.
Its so thin anyway that it wouldn't be as strong as an actual screen. Don't waste your money.

My Galaxy Nexus screen scratched from a dime I forgot I had in my pocket, so no, not all tempered glass is created equal. Gorilla has the brand prowess it does because its hardness is so high, making it extremely difficult to scratch. Tempered glass has hardness ratings, the XGear SPs are 8H out of a maximum of 10H; harder than my Galaxy Nexus screen, so it benefits from having it on there. It will also shatter instead of the screen, leaving it intact, protection no regular SP can provide.
For the exact same reasons I'm glad to put one on my N7.

Exactly. And the SGP Ultra Crystals are the best protectors on the market bar none. To the OP, its far more likely some grit in your pocket scratched your screen, not the dime.

I'd have to get a screen protector to put on top of it just to keep the fingerprints down.

That seems a waste but to each there own. Unfortunately they are out of stock.

Wow, they sold out fast.. guess there's a lot more demand than this thread might show.
I'm following the Fantom thread on RootzWiki where the rep responsible for getting XGear to make Android products posts, so I'll drop a note when they're back in stock/for sale again.

More likely than not they made a small production run. They're are very few out there willing to pony up that kind of cash for a screen protector. Plus, they are a relatively unknown company for them.

Jesus....$70 for a screen protector? I am sure is not THAT expensive to create this type of glass-based screen protector. This is 25% of the cost of the N7 itself.
I'll just buy an SGP screen protector.

I agree with this. While the glass may protect the main glass, you will see finger prints on this glass and then what? You get another screen protector on top to block smudges? Before you know it there will be layers and layers on your tablet and then not be able to touch the screen and use it.

I have a friend who has a glass shop. where they have special machine that can cut and polish the edges of thin tempered glass... Im thinking i should team up with him.. This could be super profitable..
They use a huge over like a kiln to heat the glass then cool it . They then cut it right before it cools to the tempered state. Then polish the edges . if the edges have one burr. when putting it back in the oven to re temper it will snap.. Ok not really a friend i Used to own a business with a glass shop next door. Had them to make some stuff for me.
Something like this anyway its been a few years ago.
The glass is cheap the equipment is expensive . The knowledge to do it is Priceless. So the 70.00 is prob a new company trying to recoup some equipment cost.

Alright, I've got more info on this "Out Of Stock" status. Here it is from the horses mouth along with a rough ETA:

You don't seem to understand the cost of the materials and labor, not to mention machining to make a product like this. Funny enough the profit margin on this is very low, and for what I know we are charging less than SGP for their tablet tempered glass protectors. I don't see you complaining about them? So please do not troll.

Looking for results on screen protectors with spen usage

I have read through the other screen protector thread and I feel like it's just a mess to read through because it's people either simply stating what they ordered or SSHguru from just like glass suggesting his product or talking back and forth with people about the orders. Just like glass is definitely one of the protectors I am considering as well as possibly looking at the SPIGEN SGP protectors.
I have not used a screen protector on a phone in a few years but due to the screen being so big and not being able to get insurance on the phone this time I feel a screen protector is wise. I just want to make sure it will not hinder the use of the spen. I am no artist and can barely draw a stick figure or even write with a pen for that matter, I just have horrible handwriting. So as long it still functions correctly I am happy with it.
I am thinking of adding a pole to this with the ones most recommended.

I am using Just like glass, I also have horrible handwriting and cant drew worth crap! (even my stick figures are bad!) It is a great product!! and SSHguru (AKA Scott) Is great as far as responding to emails and posts / concerns. That being said the protector I relived is a little short (Files where too big to upload!) and it sounds like he had an issue with the manufacturer. So I would wait until that gets figured out before ordering!

Ok thanks! And that was one of the reasons I am interested in his JLG, it just became hard to read through everything since it turned more into a thread about his protector and why to buy no others as well as him supporting people. His support is great from what I was reading. I just wanted to get the ball rolling on a thread that is about actually using the protectors and how they have worked out for people so far on all brands. I know zagg is something I will go no where near.

Actually just got an email from Scott "We actually got a real Note II and laser scanned it.
The new cut is shipping to you today.
Thanks for the help!
Scott"
So I cant be positive until I receive it but assuming it is the right fit I would very highly recommend it!

I went ahead and ordered one.

I got the zag invisible shield on today. It takes 24 hrs to dry. So I will let you know once it dries.

The invisishield hd is a no go for stylus users. My brother had one on his and the sketch he did with it is permanently on his screen protector now.

I'm using the Spigen Ultra Crystal and despite it not covering the screen entirely I love it. It's virtually unnoticeable other than the fingerprints that it collects, which is something you'll see with all screen protectors(I had issues even on my oleophobic that I had on my GS2). The stylus works just as well as it did before I put the protector on it and there are zero marks on it from the stylus since I've been using it(5 days)

I'm using a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic and, in retrospect, I wish I'd left my Ultra Crystal on. The Ultra Crystal was all but invisible aside from the fingerprints that wipe off cleanly, whereas fingerprints on the Ultra Oleophobic leave behind a film that makes the fact that you're using a screen protector painfully obvious. All things considered, I should have stayed with the Ultra Crystal, and it's only my desire to not give up on a $7.50 screen protector ten days after getting the phone (as I did with my Ultra Crystal) keeps the Ultra Oleo on there.
That being said, I use my S Pen regularly, and neither Spigen protector ever showed signs of wear or marking from the S Pen. I did have an Xtreme Guard screen protector on there for a few days after getting the phone, and it was badly marked up by the S Pen. My theory is that wet-apply protectors are just a bad idea with the Note 2, as gooey plastic (which is basically what they are) is prone to being scratched up and dragged around by pointy objects.

I use the same material used on cars for their clear bras. S pen works fine, and it's very tough. I use it on my iPad 3 as well. Never buying screen protectors again. Lol

Reporting back with my feedback from using the zag invisible shield.
No marks have been left on it with my s pen. It is not as smooth as writing on the screen though. I am happy.

This is completely bogus. I had two zaggs on my Note 2, one replaced by Best Buy because the S-Pen marks were so profound, the second removed because it happened to the improved Zagg... Even with the second being a Zagg HD, I was 100% let down by this product. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
The SGP Ultra Crystal is, by far, the best available, as far as the S-Pen goes. It's just too hard for it to even think about leaving marks. That being said, I am eagerly awaiting my new re-cut just like glass to see if it's all that it's cracked up to be. If not, I will be certain to let you know... and subsequently go back to a SGP Ultra.

Has anyone noticed any delay/lessened sensitivity issues with either the SGP or JLG screen protectors? It's awesome that the note 2 has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity (I'm assuming it's built into the spen), but I wouldn't want a screen protector getting in the way of that.

Spigen ultra clear here works fine

I wouldn't do that...you WILL get marks on it...I can almost guarantee it. I too had the Zagg HD and after a few days use, there were s pen marks all over it. Initially it seemed like a great protector...actually, without the s pen it would be. However, if you look at your screen with it turned off you can see marks all over it. Go with xtremeguard, Just Like Glass or Spigen...any one of those will hold up better and they are all quite a bit less expensive.

I don't much care how the screen looks while off.
I don't really use the pen much either, just don't want that rubbery feel (OG Zagg) when I do.
As far as price, I don't really care as long as I get what I want. Also, working at Best Buy has its advantages

[REVIEW] Buff Ultimate Shock Absorption Screen Protector

Hey guys,
I just recently bought this screen protector from Buff and thought i'd share my experience with you. It costs $24.99 from Amazon, although, I bought it for much cheaper at my local phone store. It came in a descent packaging and I think, even though I had never heard of them before, it did give me the confidence to go ahead and get one. Anyhow, lets get down to it.
Package includes:
1 x Screen Protector
1 x Squeegee Card
1 x Microfibre
1 x Instruction Leaflet
Application:
It was a dry application so it was fairly easy to apply without the need for additional equipment. The squeegee that came with it was good enough to push out some of the bubbles. According to their website, you don't have to worry much about the bubbles, especially the stubborn ones as they tend to disappear around 24-48 Hours after applying. Although, their website also states that you can use a blow dryer to speed up the process, I personally find this unnecessary. Additionally, at other times when i do notice dust particles during application, I simply use a mini spray bottle, filled with water, at the affected part and simply force it out using the squeegee. Furthermore, If you were to do this then i would recommend doing this by either leaving on the protective sticker during or wrapping the microfiber around the squeegee to avoid damaging the screen protector in anyway.
Fitting:
As you can see from the photos, the top part does not go all the way around the speaker grill. I presume, this was done intentionally to avoid any interference between the screen protector and the sensors. However, I have never experienced issues with other protectors that do cover the sensors and the camera...ohwell maybe given the thickness/material of this thing, it does make a difference. But we'll speak about that in a bit.
The sides and bottom part are, in my opinion, a perfect cut for those certain few enthusiasts who like to switch between casings on a regular basis. As you can see, the Samsung Protect Cover+, does not interfere with it whatsoever from any of the edges.
Feel/ Protection:
In my opinion, this has got to be the exception here. I've read that there are quite a alot of haters for the Zagg invisible shield screen protectors and some have mentioned that the feel of the Buff is no different. However, I find that its really not the case. Don't get me wrong here it does feel somewhat rubbery, and although my initial thought on it was disappointing, after a few hours of using my phone I got the hang of it. I could slide my finger across the screen without experiencing much of the grippy feel almost as good as a naked screen.
Now, with the use of Spen it does require a tad bit of getting use to, and although its not as smooth as the ordinary screen protector, its still usable...provided that you wipe the screen clean of any oily or dried smudges.
Heres the good part - its pretty easy to clean and not so easy to scratch, in fact, it is even harder to scratch compared to any other screen protector out there. And if you did manage to scratch it then you need to seriously consider changing your lifestyle
I found that the microfiber provided or my shirt was more than adequate to wipe off any smudge with just a few rubs. Usually I would use an LCD cleaner but in this case i found that to be unnecessary.
According to the manufacturers website it consist of Four different layers, however, I personally think they're full of crap with regards to this info. Now this thing is thick in comparison to other protectors but still not enough to be noticed but just enough to make me wonder if all those videos they've posted are credible.
I mean they've tried almost everything you can imagine to break that glass and it still came out sparkling...hammering, throwing a red brick on it, COFFEE MUG, etc you name it. Check out the video here to judge for yourself.
Clarity:
Now I think the best way to describe this is that it is somewhere in between the clarity of an anti-glare and a crystal clear screen protector. I noticed a somewhat very faint rainbow effect one that you usually notice from an anti-glare protector. It seems to be less noticeable under direct sunlight for some reason but it becomes apparent in a dark environment especially when you crank up the screen brightness and pay close attention.
Conclusion:
This is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. But if you do decide to get it, you can be assured that you can place your cup of tea on your phone and not have to worry as much about smashing that screen to bits. Additionally, its hard to scratch meaning you probably wouldn't have to worry about changing your screen protector every few months or so like the usual, but it comes down at the expense of having that slight rubbery feel to it. Nevertheless, its still worth getting if you find yourself to be one of those overly protective individuals.
PROS:
- Easy to apply
- A good fit all around
- hard to scratch
- Cheaper in the long run since its hard to scratch
- smooth to use with fingers
CONS:
- produces tiny rainbow effect similar to an anti-glare protector
- not so smooth with Spen when screen is smudged.
- expensive - considering some brands offer x2 screen protectors for the same price.

Good write up! Just out of curiosity I went to their website to find out thickness rating of this film. Typically cheap screen protector film is 2H (ebay junk for $0.99), while quality PET film is 3H (like iSmooth and Spigen for $10-$15 a pack), and tempered glass is 9H (like VITREO or MIME $30-$40). This one you have looks somewhere in between PET film and tempered glass in thickness. It wasn't mentioned anywhere on their website. As a matter of fact, they don't even go into details of which phone they cover or where to buy it. I checked it out on Amazon, and the cut in the picture looks totally different from what you have described. Kind of strange.

yea I had a look at their website too and it seems they're somewhat disorganized with their method of distribution. Although their marketing isn't so bad with regards to the videos theyve posted they have still got to mention the hardness and they've got to seriously provide more info to potential customers on the varieties and the availability of their product line. I bought mine from a local store so I've never really bothered checking their website earlier on availability. However, it feels like the surface hardness is about 3-4H, compared to the cheap ones youve mentioned from eBay. I would say their main highlight for this is in its ability to absorb and disperse shocks effectively rather than its resistance to scratches.

Absolutely, a good point!

Hi people, my buff screen has just five months of use, and it is becoming dark. It has been annoying me, mainly considering my GS3 is white.
What can I do to solve this question? Is there some product that I may use to have the clarity and the transparency of my screen back or should I remove the shield and lose my money?
Thank you.

I would recommend sending the company an email stating your situation and then following up with a warranty claim to replace it. The most you can do is use an LCD lens cleaner but I doubt that will help.

But this screen protector isnt anything like glass. Its hardness isnt anywhere close to glass. The part I do like about this screen protector is that its meant to be reusable, so if it does manage to peel off you can always wash, dry and stick it back on.

It's a temporary screen protector, just toss it and buy another one. 5 months is a lifetime for some of these cheapo screen protectors.

+1!! Unless you buy a screen protector with a lifetime warranty, then 5 months of use is pretty good....
If you're wanting to buy one with a lifetime warranty that does NOT feel rubbery like Zagg does, check out Ghost Armor. That's the brand I always use on my tablets, and the Note 2 is the first phone I've used Ghost Armor on. I've had a GA clear front and back on one tablet for about 1.5 years now and it hasn't discolored in any way, lost any clarity, and doesn't have a single scratch on it! Highly recommend Ghost Armor for the feel, durability, and cost related to those things. GA isn't cheap, but well worth every penny that you spend!!!

Well in India we are getting it really cheap just rs 200-250 dats arnd 4 dollar I wonder how amazon selling it at such high price and I even found the protector to be doing a great job and even after few month of use the spen even feels smooth on the screen guard .
I am very happy with this product n would recommend to all if u get it at low price

REVIEW GHOST GLASS screen protector by MIMEusa with video slideshow

Today we’re looking at the GHOST GLASS screen protector by MIMEusa.
This is a premium tempered glass screen protector and I literally just rub the screen sometimes because it's so smooth and clear.
Click here to see a video slideshow of Ghost glass and an overview of installation
Main advantage: real protection, responsive to finger and s-pen, easy install, smooth, clear, and priced very well
Main concern: NONE.
Unique features: hardness comparable to steel
Screen protectors are one of those necessary evils that we fight ourselves on with every phone purchase. We research and drool over the latest super phone with Gorilla Glass 2 screens and beautiful exteriors made of aluminum, ceramic, etc. We'll watch videos leading up to a phone's release that show people attacking the screen with keys, knives, nails, and more all without a scratch. Then after all that we purchase the phone and immediately buy cases, screen protectors, sleeves, holsters, everything we can possibly find to cover up the features we obsessed over and made us purchase the phone in the first place. It's an internal struggle that will go on and on until the first phone made completely out of unobtanium coated diamond is released. Since it's inevitable that we'll go through this, why not make the best of it?
I hadn't heard of MIMEusa before researching this article. They do one thing extremely well out of their New York City location. Mime is a team of engineers from two “major research universities” that are trying (read: succeeding) at creating the highest quality screen protector that I've seen to date. The GHOST GLASS is fingerprint resistant, has a technical hardness equal to steel, and a crystal clear and smooth surface that feels better than the Galaxy Note 2's stock screen. You heard correctly, this is an improvement over the screen that has shipped with over 10 million phones to date.
After install (which you can see more about in the video slideshow) the glass looks and feels like a ¼ inch thin sheet of ice has formed over your screen. The anti chip curved edges and perfectly measured button cutout complete the feeling of a really personalized experience. A lot of companies try to rush to market. You can tell when a screen protector is sloppily engineered to be close enough, this isn't that product. In fact, this couldn't be more perfectly measured for the Note 2. The edges extend just enough to cover but not interfere with any kind of case of bumper that might attach to the edge closely. The aforementioned button cutout doesn't leave a millimeter of space more than it needs. As odd as it sounds (and sometimes looks) I'll find myself just running my fingers along the screen while reading or staring off into space. It's that smooth.
The real reason that we buy a glass screen protector is the protection. If all goes well, during a naked drop with impact enough to break your screen, the protector should shatter and spare the screen. I don't have the resources to fully test this theory, but it seems plausible enough. A 1565 BHN / 9H Hardness rating are a bunch of numbers that show that MIME knows more than enough to make a great screen protector that I easily trust my own personal phone to everyday. 9H is one below the tops of 10H, this is the hardest glass screen protector I've seen on offer. All the protection comes without sacrifice too. No orange peel or rainbow effects, no touch screen dulling, not a single deterring factor. It's very affordable too under $30. MIME is making a strong attempt to win you over and it worked on me. I'll buy their protectors as long as our phones need them.
Until the inevitable day that Google or Apple turns cellphones into floating magnetic halos that project everything into our own personal conversation domes.
Thank you again to MIME for supplying their product for review.

Why aren't you doing real video clips?

So, my comment about MIME. Considering we had a very long thread/discussion about their temp glass protectors with 20 pages and 190 replies and a lot of complains, I assume this is their new redesigned 2nd gen protector. What MIME failed to realize in their original design was that Note 2 screen is curved toward the edges, and because we are talking about 9H hard tempered glass rather than flexible PET film - it will NOT stick to the edges/corners and people had bubbles that didn't go away for weeks. And I remember people mentioning their return policy wasn't great either. Not sure if that has changed (regarding return policy), but they went ahead redesigning their screen protector back in early May, and now from these pictures I see its has a lot more margin from the edges of the display. That's the only right way to do it, following footsteps of Seidio VITREO for Note 2 (my person weapon of choice ). It's a challenge to make tempered glass for Note 2, and even Spigen hang their towel on it.
My question to snapz/Phil, please let us know when all the bubbles going to disappear and how does it stick to edges? I recently talk to someone in another forum who mentioned about still having problems with edges not sticking in a few places.

Mine personally went away within 3 days. I followed the directions carefully and I was very careful. I've used it with numerous cases and it worked great for a couple months of daily use before I had to remove it to test another screen protector.
All communication that I've personally had with Mime was great. Quick responses and clear dialogues back and forth. I can only speak to my own personal experiences through testing. I'm sure that if anyone had an issue and they attempted to calmly and professionally contact Mime and explain themselves clearly they would see a good response.
If you're one of the people who bought a Mime screen protector and didn't receive an acceptable response when you tried to contact them about an issue, then please share your experience here and I will personally talk to my contact and try to get an answer as to what happened.
I've been in contact with engineers, project managers, and CEOs in the past and most companies are very open to real clear honest input.
Regarding the style of video that I post. I can more easily control the quality of the images captured through photo rather than video. Perhaps in the future I'll change to live video, but for now I'm happy with the style I've chosen. I can get closer and use lighting to try to clearly illustrate everything I think you might want to see as a consumer.

I just ordered mine, can't wait to receive it & slap it on my phone, have heard nothing but good things about it, can't complain with the decent price though

This is a personal opinion and shouldn't be in a non-biased review. And I don't see how any glass product could have a hardness equal to steel.

My reviews reflect my personal feelings as a consumer after a thorough evaluation. I always do everything that I can to explore all angles and show the whole picture. That doesn't mean that I won't speak truth to you. I'm not a robot, I'm a person who owns and enjoys a Note 2 just like you. You will see my own opinions and ideas peppered throughout. If you don't appreciate my specific point of view than my reviews won't be for you unfortunately.

I'm not questioning any of that, but you clearly stated that this sp is an improvement over an naked screen you didn't say "I think" or "to me it feels", you stated it as a fact. If you want to voice your personal opinions the tell is they are your opinions, but refrain from certainties.

Got mine in today
I tried to upload pics of the package contents & the protector itself, but the stupid app's acting up & not letting me
Aside from that I installed the protector & am loving it, it's really smooth & has awesome screen clarity, it adheres to the screen really well on its own & was really easy to install. I don't have much experience with glass screen protectors as this is my first, but I highly recommend it to all of you, if you guys have any questions regarding the protector, feel free to ask me, I'll answer & help out with as much as I can

it is identical to this one that I bought in china. I thought she was good though to bubble around the screen protector. Now it was my Xgear voyager 2, our VERY top, much better.

not all cheap screen protector works with the s-pen. I orderd the iSmooth protector because it was praised by everyone and they said that the s-pen worked perfect with it.

Are you saying that cheap screen protectors don't work with the spen? I just used my spen through a piece of cardboard so I don't see how a plastic film wouldn't work.

I think more people have issue with some screen protectors that don't allow the s-pen to glide across the screen during use. It will register the pen's contact because it works through magnet I believe, just isn't pleasant or easy to work with. Some matte screen protectors or those with anti fingerprint coatings can cause the pen to "stick" a bit at times from some posts that I've read.

Then just say that instead of saying that the spen won't work with cheap screen protectors. All it takes is 1 misleading post and you'll have 50 people out there swearing the the spen won't work with this sp or that sp.

It gets better.

Anyone going to go bare without a screen protector?

I pre ordered my note 8 with Verizon and it came in yesterday!
I have the spigen kick stand case on it now. Got it from Amazon prime for 17 bucks and it's great. Makes the phone easier to handle.
I have the cheap plastic screen protector that came on the phone in the box. Really can't decide on a screen protector. I hate the wet application ones and the dry adhesive tempered glass always bubble. Thinking about going raw....any one else?

I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow but none of my accessories are here and I ordered the phone after the accessories. I wouldn't do it only because of some of the complaints of the s8 and scratches on the screen. There's some screen protector that I'm gonna try that is supposed to be a hybrid between regular protectors and tempered. Hopefully I can order that soon but I'm gonna have to use the one in the box or a temporary tempered glass on it

I am,in place of a screen protector,I'm using a liquid sealer.
Here's one that's relatively inexpensive:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/NanoBlot-Liquid-Screen-Protector-Phone/165968396
https://www.walmart.com/ip/NanoBlot-Liquid-Screen-Protector-Tablet/112875380
And another that costs a bit more,but,good for several applications:
https://www.nanoflowx.com/spraygard
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nanoflow-X-...tector-PROTECTS-UP-TO-16-PHONES-/172590962858
Do these sealers work?
That's debatable,but,I've been using several different brands for about two years & while it is impossible to prove a negative I haven't had a single blemish on any of my phones for 2+ years.
Do not mistake this stuff as an equal replacement for a screen protector,it's merely providing scratch resistance,nothing in regards to breakage.
I don't recommend these sealers to everyone,especially to those who are prone to exposing their phones to scratching (using the phone w/dirty fingers/exposed to the elements/dropping/typically careless in regards to pocketing/pursing with items that may scratch on a regular basis,etc...)
I don't baby my phone,but,I do take care to keep it in a pocket holster while @ work & in a neoprene sleeve most other times.
For me,a screen protector is not necessary,so,I use a sealer for added protection against scratching.
Some think they're snake oil & TBH,I don't blame 'em,but,I loathe screen protectors as a whole,less a perfectly installed factory one,as w/the Huawei Mate 9,you'd be hard-pressed to notice.
I wish a factory-installed protector was an option,perhaps I'd be more inclined to use one,provided it didn't have the looks akin to a protective bra on a car circa 1980-1990.........................

With my first Note 7 I used Sharkproof "snake oil" and like you was very careful with daily handling. For the 4 weeks (!) i had my first Note 7 I had no issues. The only issue I had was that Sharkproof made the screen too slippery. For my third Note 7, the second was a swapped device from Samsung which went on eBay, I used Samsung's OEM screen protector. On the whole this was a great option as the S Pen worked well and was more effective than gel/TPU type and I managed not to waste money searching for the holy grail of the tempered glass solution. For the Note8, Samsung have not made available their own screen protector.
EDIT : And so for the Note8, I'm going to have to waste money on TPU/Gel like protectors until Samsung....

You would have social services take my phone in to protective custody, if you saw how I treated it.
Was just looking at my S7E screen, thinking "that's actually
pretty good, for its age". Then remembered I smashed it and had it replaced a month ago.
I have a case on it now...
My problem with screen protectors: Every one I've used has looked and felt worse than the micro scratches it might prevent.

Does the S8 have the same gorilla glass the Note 8 will have?
I was so hopeful that i could forego the screen protector on this one but from reading this thread i doubt it.
Last note I had was the 4 and i had the screen crack on me.

no matter how many people say they got no scratches, never go without protector. they are either blind, lie or can't place the phone in right angle to see those scratches.
i always buy protectors because of the scratches and not because the screen could crack.
on my s4 which has gorilla glass 3. i haven't had a protector for the last year after using always the same protector 3 years before.
since then there aren't any hard scratch on the display or anything but i notice alot of fine micro scratches but only when i put heavy light on it and hold it in the right angle.
i have used it much, but mostly at home and also kept care of it. still it happened.
as far as i know and have read this isn't any better on the newest gorilla glas 5. so i will not risk anything and keep on using protectors.
for the note i just simply can't find anything good.
whitestone dome on the s8 was good, but overpriced, not friendly for every case, popped up after a few months or just cracked very fast.
not good enough for this kind of money otherwise it would be good is guess.
all other glass protectors are useless since they only stick to the sides and will force problems like bad touch, dirt underneath or popping up very fast.
then there are wet tpu protectors which i don't like. they are too thin and flexible. they just don't feel right, leave marks quickly and often got a yellow touch or rainbow effect.
also they will probably not stick long on the edges and are mostly not case friendly even if they say so.
so the only thing which i consider are the good old school tpu/pet protectors which are applied without any water or so.
i hope they will stick good on the edges and if they are case friendly nothing will pop up.
it's a little bit harder to get all the bubbles out but i rather put some time into placing the protector right and remove the bubbles then buying every few weeks a new one or even go without any.
of course they will also feel kinda cheap like plastic (it is plastic afterall) but atleast they are not so thin and flexible like the wet tpu ones.
for now i will try this one and hope it will be good. if not well then im fuc*ed cause i can't find anything else!! (

I will be using Clear View cover, so no screen protector for me.

On second thought. With the monthly insurance I pay for, why not just go with a bare screen and if it cracks, get a new one?

However, the cuts and scratches really detract. Insurance will not cover that as normal wear and tear. So, for the first time, I'm wrapping mine up. hehe
