I can't seem to find a good screen protector. I know it's a common problem. I've tried the regular TGSP on my S8+, but didn't like the glare door the dust seeping through the adhesive. Tried several with LOCA, but it was such a hassle and they usually wound up cracked within a week of installation. I tried the wet application screen protector, which for some reason looked perfect on my wife's S8+, but always looked like crap on mine. Finally, I was super happy with Dendrobates updated version. It stuck down, felt smooth, and looked great.
Fast forward to the Note 8. I bought it used, though it was only a month old and he kept a TGSP on it since day one. The TGSP he had on it had allowed dust to accumulate between the screen and the protector and the touch sensitivity was horrible. I ordered the Dendrobates, since it was perfect on the S8+, and it didn't feel like the S-Pen would leave marks on it.
When it arrived, I took off the TGSP, and a speck of dust between the screen and the TGSP had actually etched a spot in the screen. (GG5 is SO SOFT!). It's no bigger than a speck of dust and can only be seen at an angle in bright light, but so frustrating!
I installed the Dendrobates, and it looks and feels perfect, and even makes the etched spot disappear, but it won't stick down on the left side, which is visually distracting and will allow dust under the screen protector. Which makes me worry about scratches. I reached out to them through email and @thescreenmax here, and their response was to refund me, which is fine, but sucks, because they're basically admitting their screen protector doesn't work.
99% of the screen protectors on Amazon are TGSP. No thanks. Dendrobates obviously won't work. And I'm worried about the wet application screen protector being too soft a d leaving marks from the S-Pen. I'm unwilling to go naked (though tempted), because I don't want anymore scratches on the soft glass. But I'm not sure what other options I have.
I love this phone, but finding a screen protector is ridiculously frustrating and annoying.
