hey guys
like many here i pre ordered the note 8. i also have a UAG Monarch case pre ordered.
since this is my first phone with a edge screen i noticed that it will be kinda hard to find a good screen protector. for 2 days im looking through amazon to find something but for now it seems impossible to find something decent.
glass screen protectors seem to be really bad on edge phones so i really don't want or need one of those. also because i only get a screen protector for minor scratches and not for other reasons like a shattered screen.
also there are so many cheap asia products which seem to be from the same factory but just rebranded with different names. the protectors, the packaging, everything looks the same except the name on it. mostly them, but also many others got so many fake reviews that i will not buy them ever, even if they were really good, which i doubt.
for example stuff from those companys: supcase, profer, cubevit, g-color, danibos, klearlook, moko, yootech and so on. all fake and crap.
i also looked for a s8+ screen protector just so i can see which brand is good and which one i should get for the note 8 but there isn't even something good for the s8+. WTF!!! even the one from spigen seems to be crap.
so can any one in here recommend me a simple nice tpu screen protector with edge sides covered which will also be case friendly???
i had a s4 before and i took of my screen protector 6 months ago. since then i got many minor scratches even tho i got nothing then my phone in my pockets. so i don't want this to happen with my new phone.
please guys im getting crazy here. only 10 more days to find something. thanks!!!
ok i think i will try this one and hope it will be good.
maybe someone else in here tried this brand already on s8/s8+ and can tell me something about it?
thanks!!

I'm not a big fan of plastic protectors - in terms to protecting against scratches they are better than nothing, but generally suffer from poor oleophobic properties, don't feel as "slick" as glass, and sometimes mark up when using the S-Pen.

+1 glass is much better way to go!
i gave in and had best buy put on an invisibleshield hd on my note 8.. I am pleasantly surprised by the nice feel and so far no spen issues with marking..its case friendly and im glad i had them apply it.. (also price matched for $19.99 from zagg) i went through 2 different tempered glass ones off amazon ..Honestly i think im going to keep this one on for the duration.. it fits perfect and since its case friendly theres no lifting up at the edges.
Bought a tempered glass sp for my note, fits perfect even with the Samsung view case

I don't care if it's edge adhesion, I'm just looking for one that won't let water or dust in. Any ideas aside from whitestone?
Maybe it's too early. Have wait for manufacturers to catch up.

The one that came with my case is good. No issues with sensitivity and it's clear. Works well and fits perfectly inside the case.

Check out the current thread on whitestone. There's no way I'd pay $50 for one protector. I bought three for a fraction of the price of one of theirs and am totally satisfied with the one I'm using now.

There obviously could be a huge variation in the quality of the sticky-edged/dot-matrix type protectors, but it's difficult to imagine any coming close to the performance of the Whitestone with regard to sensitivity, clarity, fit and feel.
The Whitestone isn't cheap, but it is very good.

Yeah I get that. Using the one that I linked, I honestly can't justify paying the price for whitestone. It can't be 5 times better but costing nearly 5 times more.... It needs to be.

Note 8 screen protector/cases
I have the Note 8 with a Zagg HD Clear Invisible Shield (not the glass one) and a Otterbox Defender case. Not happy with either. The Defender case pushes on the edges of the screen protector and it peels up. Not too happy with the Otterbox Defender holster. It's flimsy and doesn't hold on to the case very well. I have problems with my phone being popped or pulled out of the holster of something rubs or catches on it. It comes out pretty easy. It's not held in the holster very well at all. Anyway, I just purchased a Whitestone. I hear they're the best glass protectors. As far as compatible cases, I know there are some YouTube videos that people test screen protectors with various cases.

I have always used InvisibleShield on all my devices just because it provides protection against scratches and it doesn't "hide" my beautiful device in a case or make it bulkier than it already is.
Naturally when I got my Nexus 7 I ordered an InvisibleShield for it too. It took ZAGG a few days before they shipped it out and since then it arrived in 3 days. Even now ZAGG still states on their website that they may require a few days to process. It's actually difficult to find the InvisibleShield for Nexus 7 because there are no direct links on the homepage and while it's listed under the devices they support but the link is broken. The only way to get to the page is by searching for Nexus 7 int he search box or click on the link below:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
When I ordered my InvisibleShield I got the full body version just because I always get the most coverage I can. However, as you will see in the photos below, you may want to just get the front screen cover.
This is the front. Very smooth and fits perfectly.

As you can see, due to the back of the Nexus 7 not being flat and smooth, there are a lot of air bubbles.
The worst is where it says "nexus" and "ASUS" below.
Now I really liked the grip from Nexus 7's back and while the InvisibleShield does NOT make it too slippery, it doesn't grip as well. So I may just take the back off eventually.
Good luck!
I hated zagg on my iphone and will never use that **** again, it's the worst crap I've ever seen. It turns yellow after a while, it orange peels like a mofo and is rubbery as hell. xoskins is the best protector hands down, and I have it on a bunch of stuff, family members as well, with a lifetime warranty can't beat that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Honestly I don't know what the hell people do to their shields for that to happen.
I've had one on my iPhone almost a year and there's nothing wrong it, one on my Gnex since december and it's perfect, and one on my s3 for the past month that again, is perfect. I just ordered mine for my Nexus 7, can't wait until it gets here.

The InvisibleShield on my old iPhone 3G (a long time ago) did start to turn a little yellow around the edges after about 2 year's worth of use. But since then that hasn't happened on any of my other devices. Maybe they improved their formula.
ZAGG also offers lifetime warranty. If you have a local ZAGG location (usually a kiosk in a mall) you can just bring your device to them and they can install a new one for you and all you pay is for the installation. You can also request ZAGG to send you a new one and install it yourself.
I had a Zagg Shield put on my Galaxy Nexus about 5 months ago at a mall in Maryland at a Zagg Kiosk and it's perfect. They must have gotten better. I really don't like putting the damn things on myself though. I'll see if they can do my Nexus 7 when I'm back in the area.

I've used Zagg once, didn't like the rubbery feel of it and it's way overpriced for what it is, good quality but you can get just as good for much less.
What if you take a needle and pop all the air bubbles on the dimples? I know there is a lot of them but that would probably improve the aesthetics of it.
I have been using ghost armor lately. I have used Zagg before. I really don't like the rubbery feel and orange peel look. They also start to yellow over time. I have a ghost armor kiosk at my mall. They put they on and they look and feel smooth. Best screen protectors I've used so far. They have a lifetime warranty also.

It cost me $20. They were going to charge $5 to install it but I got him to drop that. Best screen protector I have used.
I love the Invisible Shield and similar products. I use Invisible Shield if I am being lazy and just pop over to the mall and have them install it. I get Bestskinsever.com skins if I feel like doing it myself, which I did on the Galaxy Nexus and Touchpad. Both of those I got at the same time and I got full skins for them...won't do that again. The Galaxy Nexus has the bumpy back cover and it looked ugly, and the rounded edges never turned out like they should. The Touchpad was smooth on the back but it, again, had weird corners and I generally put TPU cases on my devices anyways.
I put my GNex through hell, it will need a new screen protector soon due to damages. I can't imagine what the screen would look like without it.
I have gotten to where I can't use a device without the rubbery texture, it's weird...
I've tried several cheaper screen protectors, but after having my ZAGG "heal" after a few scratches, well, I'm dropping the extra 10 bucks from now on. Yes, after a few years,
they can need a change, but a trip to the mall and $5 for installation gets you a new screen. If you don't like the "orange peel" look, don't buy one. But there is no better product
available in my oh so humble and somewhat limited experience.
My Nexus 7 arrived yesterday, I will be installing the ZAGG before the screen leaves the house.
The only people who like zagg are the one's who haven't tried xoskins.

Just received my S7 Edge today, I've actually bought the Tech21 case for it.
However with the lack of decent screen protectors at the minute is there not a case which takes care of this for you?
I've had a look around and found an X-Doria Defense 360 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Case – Clear , anybody managed to get one or something similar which isn't too bulky?
Thanks
As i thought the Tech21 Evo Frame case edges must be fairly sharp and I can't get the screen protector to stay down especially up near the top. I've tried both the InvisibleShield Original and the Ultimate Shield one (I am in the UK). Has anybody got one to work with this case?
If not has any got any recommendations for cases with a built in screen protector as mentioned above?
Thanks

Right now they are one of the few that actually makes case-friendly screen protectors. They do ship internationally though.
What is the difference between the case friendly and a regular screen protector? They have a few different option on amazon, but don't explain the difference.
By the looks of the post above compared to what I have got it seems to be cut out more at the top and the bottom corners compared to trying to cover the whole screen. The weakest places with my cover on are up near the very top and bottom so this should help it from not lifting when you put the case on but still cover most of the screen.
Both Skinomi and ArmorSuit make "case-friendly" screen protectors for the GS7E.
I've found one...

it does look cool but its pre order so it not even available
i just bought this one http://tinyurl.com/gkqlckx hope its good as most s7 edge glass protectors are bad even the name brand ones ...
Just received the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 Case. Even though Screen is not glass does not feel that back. No stickiness like plastic films. But for now just had it on for some hours so can't really say for long run yet.
It is a bit wider like a little over 1/4" more than the UAG case. Which adds to black borders on the front as seen on the pictures. So if you already had trouble using it with one hand, this would cause a bit more trouble.
The thickness is about the same as the UAG case when both are facing screen down.
This case advertises Waterproof but has 2 openings for the speaker grill on top and the home button on bottom. I would expect water could get in through those openings. Screen is dot matrix.
The look of the case for me is nice and does not make it look ugly in my perspective. As because the screen guard as they call it make it look like the screen is showing more than some cases that adds front black plastic borders on top and bottom.
The one thing is you might want to use wireless charging more due to having to open up ports more often if using a usb charger.
Here are some pictures I took. Sorry about quality. The best Camera I have is the GS7 edge. lol.
http://imgur.com/a/osNxm
Right now I'm using it with the TANAAB Screen protector.
I'll post more about it. But first reactions seems to be a good case but would depend on how you would see it and if the 1/4" width bigger than a UAG case would be a drawback or not.
It Seems that Ghostek send several out to Mobilefun or Uviyo in batches but haven't shipped through their main site.
Update:
Update about the openings mentioned above. The waterproof works and does not get inside case if there's nothing that raises the area where the openings are. I had the TANAAB TGSP that doesn't go full length of the phone let water in but when removed and tested no water went in. So waiting to test it with a similar TGSP like GPEL2 that fully extends the the phone and see how that works.
When With TANAAB. Sensitivity didn't change and could provide good protection if needed as the outside screen is just a thin plastic film.
Just wanted to point this out.

I just swapped out my Note 7 for the s7 edge and purchased the Defender and has crazy problems with the screen registering the touches. I then removed the screen protector now the phone is loose in the case and the bottoms don't align anymore. So I did the OtterBox warranty and when that case comes in I'll get a refund from Sprint for the Defender and go with a different case. Did you remove the screen protector and have the same button issues? Also like the screen was pushing the phone down in the case which aligned the buttons. Really sucks it just doesn't work without the thick crappy built in screen protector.

I just don't understand why the screen protector is just as much as the case...
Had one of these for my N6P and it was awful tbh the sides were so loose my phone got dings there with the case on...no idea how it even happened.
And the Screen Protector is too expensive swell

I also have a 6P with a RhinoShield. It does have a little bit of play on the sides, but only if you push/pull on it and it will certainly not come off your 6P unless you really want to remove it... Manually, with force.
RhinoShield is one of the highest quality cases out there. Too many people complain about it simply because it's more of a rugged type case/bumper than a slim profile fit. It's not going to be the most ergonomic, but it's still a great case that's worth the money & the protection. $18 is hardly expensive for a case. Will last a lot longer and offer way more protection from drops than a cheap $8 TPU.
I took a photo of my 6P w/ RhinoShield just the other day..

Which material is the Rhinoshield bumper made of? Metal or rubber or plastic? Is it compatibility with glass protectors? Thanks.

Thanks for that detailed info.
Quick question. So is it necessary to have great rear protection without the Caseguard Screen protector on the rear of your Nexus 6p? Looks great by the way, thanks for the photo. @Andromjb

Honestly i'm using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case atm and I really like it but it's a little annoying if you're using an all over tempered glass like the Orzly one.
it's just too expensive for what it is tbh and if the sides are loose then i'd be afraid of getting marks again....even though it's somehow already happened with the official OP cases on....those things really don't protect the phone either but I should have known that.

Hmm....
I had one on my 6P with a dbrand skin on the back. This got rid of any rough edges from the skin. I gave it to my Mom when I got this phone. She drops her phone literally all the time. It's saved it so many times. I actually really liked it an recommend it for anyone looking for a bumper. It always fit great and I just looked at it now to take a picture and it's still holding up great and fits well.
Ordered this the other day. Excited to receive it. It's a bit more expensive than I would normally spend on a case but hopefully it's awesome
sent via op3 and xda-app
has anyone received their rhinoshield bumper yet?
Screen guard is totally worthless..
Also pre-ordered this and I'm excited!
Did you also get this email?
Also, to the Nexus 6P x CrashGuard users: Does it work together with a tempered glass screen protector?
I've also ordered it, thx for the discount code.
I think I will also use a dbrand or slickwraps skin on the back with the Rhinoshield.
Buy a thin smartphone and put a bumper seem to me a sacrilege, it's like going to the beach dressed as firefighter, helmet and oxygen tank included. In such case is more safer and cheap wrap it in a shower towel.

Still haven't received my order yet. The company is even sending me a white bumper & protector free to review. Yet to receive those either.
They were supose to ship in late August but they updated the site which now states, "Pre-Order, Shipping 1st Half of September".
Yep, nothing. They postponed it to mid September
They said on Twitter that they willl ship this week.
I just got my shipment confirmation via Email!!
Im a fan of totally clear tempered glass screen protectors, but all too often they have colouring on them.
One seller I've seen on ebay who is doing a completely clear one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162634872550
One with coloured parts on Amazon UK:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Galaxy-Note-Vigeer-Bubble-Free-Installation/dp/B074C4KX3G
Another on Amazon UK with coloured parts, different design:

Surely whitestone is going to be the one to get again?

I contacted Whitestone. They said the domed glass should be released early September so we could have them before the release date (If the release date is actually Sept 15th).
I really like it on my S8+. A little thick, but no lack of responsiveness. Only other complaint is that dusk collects along the edge of it.
I will be waiting a bit before ordering one
Going with this one for now: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Co...83391&sr=8-3&keywords=note+8+screen+protector
I have had pretty good luck with this company for a while.
I'd try out the tempered glass protectors but not for retail price. Hopefully they do better than what is available for the S8+.

been looking at this one too. I typically do not use screen protectors but will on the Note 8. Can you tell me how well these work with cases?
Thanks

I havent been able to find a glass screen protector that would work with a case. The other problem is that these screen protectors only stick to the edges of the phone.... If there was a flat screen option I would have bought that..............
Yes, I'm worried about using a tempered glass screen and a case.

Doesn't look case-friendly
I used one from Armoursuit on my note 7 and liked it enough to put it on my s7e. Unfortunately they won't have any until the 15th. I order one similar and a tempered glass. Figure I'll try them both. Supposedly case friendly

How are Armoursuit's screen protectors? Are they stylus-friendly?

I saw that, they say due in stock in 3 to 5 days. I guess they ship from the UK though, because they said shipping to the US takes 10 to 14 days.
I'm hoping Amazon will get them in at the same time Mobile Fun does. Then I should have it in two days
Does anybody have a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive, but potentially "good" case-friendly glass screen protector?
Obviously, with nobody yet having the devices themselves, it's going to be difficult to assess whether fit, etc, is good, but if anybody has experience of a brand/manufacturer that has done good things on other devices with non-flat screens, then that could be useful to know - I don't plan to use my Note 8 without some protection, and I've always found plastic protectors to be poor with regard to feel and their oleophobic properties, and often attract dust.
I'm thinking I'll get something that will more than likely be cheap, but reasonably performing, until such time as there are reviews of different protector models with experience of being used on the Note 8 before committing myself to a bigger purchase, such as a Zagg or a Whitestone.
I think the only logical screen protector will be those ones that are similar to paint protection film applied on cars. I put one on my wifes S8, didnt look too bad, Used a bit of heat from the hairdryer.

Plastic protectors seem to fall into two categories; stretchy "military grade" stuff which can be a bit "orange peely" and grippy to the touch, and a film which seems to offer less protection, but suffer from finger prints.
Best plastic I've seen is the iCarez on the Note 4, which gave good protection and feel, but was a bit of a dust magnet.
I'll be getting a Skinomi Tech Glass tempered screen protector when they're available. Had them on the Note 2 and Note 5 and on the Tab S 8.4. Haven't disappointed me yet.
Tempered glasses don't fit right on curved edges and you have to touch screen harder for it to respond

Yup, I've been using an Otterbox Commuter with a Whitestone Dome since I bought the phone. It's been great and has protected my phone from a few drops so far.

Less than the otter I like it, feels strong
Imo if you want a strong case to protect your phone, but not have that "ugly" look to it...
Go for patchworks, it's what I'm using right now I love the design, and it's up to military grade standard
I dropped my phone (by accident) from above my head onto concrete (completely **** myself xD) and no problems
Not sure if the Whitestone dome would fit on it though, if someone knows let me know please

The button protrusions on the inner rubber shell fit like they should. The flaps for the charging port, etc. tuck in nice and evenly into the outer hard case.

I had an Otterbox Commuter on my phone for a few months. I picked up a Patchworks case for a few bucks and have kept it on. It's thinner and feels much better in my hand. I've also dropped my phone more times than I can count and haven't had a single issue with my phone. The few times I dropped my phone with the Commuter my glass screen protector came off.

Which glass was it that came off? My whitestone is still on tight with no lifting after a few drops in the Commuter, but some glass/case combos are definitely compatible than others of course.
I have a Zagg glass protector. I never tried the Whitestone. Zagg upgraded me to the newer Elite Curve and it's been pretty good.
I've gone through a lot of cases, but my favorite has been the Speck Presidio Grip. No other case has as good of grip while still having decent protection and it doesn't add much bulk.
Been using the Spigen Tough Armor on my Note 8 since I got it. The only problem I had was finding tempered glass screen protector for it that had 100% screen adhirsion.
Caseology Legion, looks good and is a bit more rugged, great drop protection (tested by accident )
Best case for me has been the dbrand Grip!! Amazing protection for such a tiny size. Second most used is a UAG Monarch when I am roughing it up at work. Finally the Alcantara Samsung case, just cause I like the feel and look of it

Wish the dbrand grip cases were available for purchase now.....

The Best case I have used is Rhinoshield. It doesn't cover up the whole phone and gives good protection. I have dropped my Phone many times landed on sides and safe.
I actually use the all black version of this one HERE. It's very inexpensive, very strong and really well made. I had the exact same case for my Note 5 and it never got a scratch on it. The case looks even better on the Note 8.
