Recently I've been searching through Ebay for accessories for my D802 and I've found some pretty cheap tempered glass protectors like:
ebay.com/itm/350944952396 , ebay.com/itm/281185788660?var=580250372052 , bit.ly/1gBlo62 , bit.ly/1bf5R6t and some more.
I don't want to spend 30$ for just a protector that's why I'm looking for an alternative. Have anyone tried them and are they worth buying or should I buy some good regular screen protectors for the same money?
Looks cheap enough to buy just to try.
I wonder how good these screen protectors will be though since people haven't been having much success with the $25+ protectors.
I'm just currently running cheap PET protectors on my phone. Seems to be working well and I don't even have any scratches on the PET after 2-3 weeks. I do also take good care of my phone though.
hmmm, I'm intrigued.
They're from China, I've read reviews of them in Chinese, basically they're hardly scratch resistant with some users reporting scratches in just 2 days. Also, it bubbles up at the sides. You can get from China for 6USD, I'd hardly trust it. But still, you can get it if you like, just for fun. No one's stopping you

I have to buy a screen protector for my s6 edge and I don't care about the price: the only important thing is that it has to be shipped internationally (I live in Italy). I am interested in either tempered glass and normal ones, I had a bad experience with tempered glass and with spigen curved crystal.
forget tempered glass for s6 Edge. Find a decent film like TechArmor or some other one with lots of reviews on amazon. i wish i had gotten the regular S6. The Edge is bullcrap.
Hello people from XDA
I bought the Oneplus a few days ago and i will receive it this weekend, I already bought the Spigen Rugged Armor case but I'm not sure about which is the best option with the screen protection for my Soft gold version
I'm doubting about the type of the protector, if is tempered glass or a plastic one. In my old Galaxy S5 i used a Clear-Coat and was awesome but I know the tempered glass is better for falls but looks quite strange because it doesn't cover all the screen and the models that cover it completely I don't like it because have a color on the glass.
I'm searching for different option and this are some models if you can give an advise I will be grateful.
Clear-Coat Original
LiQuid Shield(IQ Shield)
Yootech
Nilkin
Thanks in advance, greetings from Venezuela(sorry if i write something wrong I'm not a english speaker)
I buyed two screen protectors on aliexpress but they don't cover all the screen... I'm searching for a new screen protector and I think TGSP is not possible for our device. I think I will buy some screen protectors like IQ shield but I need the ship in Italy. Also Skinomi seems a good producer but they ship for free only in USA.
All the threads here about the various screen protectors (whitestone etc .)for the note 8 contains information about the product whose availability is limited to region like US and UK . Note 8 is recently made a lot of sale during the festive season in India and we will see more of note 8 users from India.
So far no review can be found on internet which can guide the indian consumers to make a purchase.The screen protector available on amazon have barely any reviews and those which have , have it poor.
I would like to ask the indian users to share their reviews of their screen protector and cases based on their use so far. Also if possible please proide the info necessary to get to the product page.
I myself am in need of a good screen protector and case which is available in India and dont want to pay the price equivalent to the cost of another budget mobile phone
I hope this thread gets a decent number of replies and feedbacks and can save a lot of trouble and money to note 8 users
Same for thailand
Hey did you find anything good yet? Im in the same boat and still havn't peeled off the flimsy screen guard that comes pre applied with the phone lol dont want to remove until i can find a replacement. I might end up buying something cheap (sub Rs500~), reviews on amazon seem fake so that doesn't help at all. Whitestone dome glass can be imported but that would cost around $70 (incl shipping)from ebay.com, but that price is too much for tempered glass.
I feel a bit safer knowing that the 1 year screen replacement offer from samsung has us covered.
Just use a cheap full Glass one and loca glue . Works as good as white stone for much cheaper.
for the edge series all the tempered glass that are available is worthless.... cos with full tempered glass most of the cases won't fit and also touch sensitivity will be very less for both full and case friendly tempered glasses... go for normal screen protector with some military grade mobile case....it should work fine in most cases.
After a lot of R&D / going through various reviews, settled on a regular screen protector & the Spigen tough armor case for the SG Note 8. Though the phone tends to feel a tad bit bulky with the Spigen case, it provides excellent protection. As for the screen protector, it was luckily compatible with the Spigen case, S-pen works well, & is holding good so far (about a month now !).
I want to buy Note 8 next week, but before I buy it I want to know the best way to protect this phone.
Regarding the front glass, It looks like none of the conventional tempered glass work well right ? I concluded after reading many previous theads that only Whiestone tempered glasses work. If I am wrong please correct me.
Whitestone is very expensive, I don't live in US and I have no such a thing in my country, so I have to pay its cost + 15 $ for internation shippng, that's 60$ for a tempered glass that is given 3.5 stars rating on amazon, I feel it is a big gamble. I found another company called SGfresh Idea ]that applies the same principle to its tempered glass for 23 $ which is half of what Whitestone asks. Still expensive but If I can guarantee decent result I would give them a try. However I couldn't find any reviews on their product, so If anyone tried Sgfreshidea for their note 8, please share your opinion on them. Their website is sgfreshidea. com
For the back glass, I read many recommendations for Spigen cases, but I hate the shape of their cases. I really like the Alcantara case, but I am not sure if it is enough to give protection to the back glass, any opinions on this case please ?
I also would like to ask about rhinoshield bumpers. There are some famous youtube channels claim that the rhinoshield bumper protect the phone from any fall. They show videos where they throw the phone and do some drop tests but I am not convinced. Does it protect the back and front glass? How does it do so?
Which would be a better option .. Tempered glass + Alcantara case or rhinosheild bumper ?
Thanks in advance

I've thought about a tempered glass as well but I ended up getting the IP68 rated Punkcase simply because it covers the entire phone, doesn't add too much thickness, finger print still works through the case, wireless charging & Samsung Pay works. I know even though the phone is suppose to be rated IP68, water can get in the charging port and you have to wait about 12hrs before you plug it in to charge. Not that I go near water a lot but I can use my Note as a radio in the shower without worries. Now I would like to try and see if a tempered glass would be thin enough to fit inside of the Punkcase.

Search Amazon fie full adhesive tempered glass screen protectors. Theres quite a few now. I personally am using the Singularity brand, but I noticed they just raised their price by about $5.

I'm actually going to switch to the Zagg Curve Elite, which is a full adhesive. Its expensive at $50, but comes with a lifetime warranty. You break it, they replace it. It just costs $6 shipping for the replacement.
As far as cases...I like simple TPU cases. Ringke Air is my favorite.

I am not concerned about water. I am more worried about dropping the phone
Thanks for giving advice.

do you think Singularity tempered glass would be compatible with Alcantara Samsung Case?

Do you think the Singularity full adhesive is the same as the other full adhesive protectors? Not withstanding the Zagg Elite which apparently is a new design.

I don't have the Alcantara case so I cant say 100%, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's pretty case friendly.

I think they're all the same. I can't say that 100%, but I'd bet they are. These companies on Amazon don't make their own TGSP. They buy them from a supplier and relabel them. Same with tires, paper towels, cereal, milk, etc...
