The Best S8+ Tempered glass screen protector and installation

[donguason]

I ordered the Spigen 3d Glass and have an extra Glue bottle from my Whitedome. Going to try that combo and see what it does.

How about something like this?

InvisShield SoftFlex HD

I like that. I've learned a little bit more about screens and protecting them since writing this. I was primarily concerned with breaking the glass and digitizer with an edge hit so I thought tempered glass was the only choice.
What I learned is, the Gorilla Glass is the best protection for the digitizer, but its weakness is scratch resistance.
A flexible protector like the Invishield should be adequate for scratch protection.
Choosing the phone was a piece of cake compared to cases and SPs.

Thanks for the idea.

Just posted a review about Otao if anyone is still looking for a protector, its a viable option that is easy to install. I can't speak to longevity yet but will update the post if any issues come up. So far so good though. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories/otao-tempered-glass-screen-protector-t3673071

I gave up on tempered glass. Went with the Spigen Neo Flex protector since April, no issues.

Until recently, top right corner began bubbling but since its a wet application it had slightly shifted upward on the right corner which was hitting my spigen tough armor case. Problem was solved, again since it is a wet aplication applied water to screen (lightly) and easily pushed it down and bubbling has gone away. Either way, its a great protector and currently available for 7.99 on amazon. Bargain if you ask me.

It will get yellow spot where you touch most of times on display.. I can see clear yellow spot in white background at home button

Anyone have any experience with liquid screen protectors, eg sharkproof?

Hi all,
Any feedback on the difference between the 2 types of tempered glass.
1. The one that looks like devils horns (sensors not covered)
2. The fully covered one where all the sensors are covered except for the earpiece.

Thank you.

I have skinomi. The ultimate touch feel is not as smooth as glass, but I still prefer wet install over edge glue glass protectors

I recently got the amfilm tempered glass screen protector for my S8+. I was expecting the usual lifting and such that other edge only adhesive glass protectors have but I was wrong.

It stuck on well and looks great. Definitely worth the price. My only complaint is that the edges of course are huge lint magnets. It bugs me to see my device so dusty looking but it's definitely nice to feel glass rather than a plastic film that scratches easily and could bubble up.

Shout out to AmFilm!

I bought the GadgetGuard Black Ice + and loved it (except for the drn dots in bright light) for almost 2 months (2 months today exactly) and then a week ago a small crack showed up about a half inch long. I looked real closely at it and it kinda looked like it might have been hit there on the top portion of the screen. I scratched my head because I know I haven't dropped it or bumped it. Well I was watching some videos and about an hour later that small crack was now running the full length of the screen from top to bottom. After a couple of days I noticed it had a chip on one side of the screen, then a day or so later another and then a small crack just on top of the curve (yeah all by itself a quarter inch or so, a random crack not touching anything (weird). Now it is just flippin spitting glass at me, with several cracks up and down that one side and they are independent of each other. I will try to get someone to take a pic of it and post it for yall. I need to order a replacement (its free if you call 10.00 shipping free), I am just lazy and waiting for payday. I am almost watching these cracks grow as I sit here not touching the phone. I hope the one that they send me this time last a little longer than this one.

Let me know how it turns out.

Hi all,
Is there a full screen tempered glass where all holes have cutouts not just the earpiece? I am concerned the front facing wont be as clear due to the extra layer of glass. I know there is the devils horn looking lass which is the case friendly version but i am looking for a full coverage one.
many thanks

I just put my OTAO on and love it. Perfect with my incipio case. Much better than the rubber feeling thing I had. I can actually swipe to text again.

I cant see this having the cutouts for the camera lens, led etc. Am I missing something?

Thanks

All the sensors have clear windows. I use these and similar all the time, on both the S8+ and Note 8.

At £1.52 you can't go wrong imho.

Ah. Awesome. Im just worried that the clear window covering the front facing camera lens will distort the photos.

Aah, so that's why I look so terrible in those selfies, lol.

In all seriousness, no issues at all.

As with all screen protectors the more precise you are with alignment and application, the better.

My advice is to leave your case on, once aligned, work outwards in all directions from the middle, using your thumbs, then seal edges with greater pressure on sides, top and bottom.

I have also been using the OTAO for the past week and like it. The fitting with the tray installation worked well and endured the screen protector was spot on. The glass feels nice and is clear. My only gripe is it easily attracts fingerprints.
