Best S8 screen protector

[Hawke84]

I wanted to create a thread to collect everyone's findings and opinions on what the best screen protector for the S8 is.

From what I have found there are:
- TPU dry application
- TPU wet application
- tempered glass glue only at sides

Post what you think the best protector is for feel, sensitivity and coverage. Also how compatable with cases and ease of application.

So far I've tried the amFilm from techmatte. Glue is viable around the sides and the touch sensitivity is reduced after insalll.

Master List - Tempered Glass

amFilm By Techmatte
Tempered glass, glue round the outside and top of the protector only. dot matrix on the screen for better sensitivity.
Glass feels nice but leaves loads of fingerprints and it is really reflective to light. Reduced sensitivity especially at the top. Works well with cases as its not quite full coverage.

Master List - TPU Films

yootech
Wet apply. Went on easy, works well with case no lifting. Feels nice.

Techgear ghostshield
Dry install. Kinda hard install as top part has separate protective film to the rest so it's hard to remove tbe main bit without getting dust under the protector. Sticks to the sides well. Clarity is bad, makes the phone look greasy /oily. Touch sensitivity is unaffected.

I bought these and it went on really easy, no bubbles and doesn't lift around the edge like a previous protector I used did when I put my Spigen Thin case on, feels ok to use too

EDIT - This is the previous protector I used, I found it reasonable to apply but lifted around the edges when putting my case on

Hi, yes it does, just stops 1-2mm short of the edge of the glass all around. I hope you like it

I have this one on my phone and my girlfriends ( both of us have the S8, not the plus).

I have a case on mine and it fits very well and doesn't interfere whatsoever.

Got me a protector from Five and Below. Works great and doesn't lift off screen inside of case.

This is another Korean company that maybe worth looking at:

How does it feel? Some reviews said it's too rubbery. I'm finding it so hard to find a protector I know I'll like

Same here, no touch issues, looks awesome and works with a lot of cases. I'm using it with uag plasma and monarch.

Forget yootech, it works well the first 1-2 days but then you have to repress on the borders every day because the TPU cover lift it, and now after 10 days some parts are not gluing anymore specially the bottom corners.
Feeling is plasticky and a bit sticky, not as good as ''dry'' films

Ah darn. I still have the chappy film that came with the phone on. I've had so many protectors on phones and none of them are good enough

Actually really like the feel. Doesn't feel too rubbery. It's not glass but it's quite smooth as long as you don't dig your nails in. I forget it's there a lot. Took me a while to apply and get it right but not had any edge lifting. I am using a case so that may help.

I can whole heartedly recommend these ones:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XY7K875/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are the film variety, but PET film, so no rubbery feel. These also benefit from being slightly curved at the edges (much like the TGSP's) so fit perfectly, with no lift. Have been using mine for 3 weeks now and its still firmly stuck on all edges, NO LIFTING!! And best of all, they work with cases too. Currently using it with a slim case, but it fits my Spiegen Neo Hybrid with no problems. And did I mention you get 3 in a pack. *drops the mic....walks off stage*

All jokes aside, these are a really good solution for screen protection with very few drawbacks.

P.S I do not work for this company nor is this recommendation being endorsed. Just passing on some invaluable knowledge to hopefully prevent someone else from buying almost every single variety of screen protector available.....not that I did that.....much.

honestly this screen protector thing is so long winded, and only for this phone as for all the others its been easy

there should be a section for uk screen protectors as we cant buy certain ones like the whitestonez version

finally got hold of this phone and cant decide what protector to get, has to be a good one as the screen is what it all is about

You can get the Whitestone in the UK from Mobilefun.co.uk but it's £68 a ridiculous price!

damn, lol max i would spend it probably £20.

there should be a vote on the best ones available and where from for country specific versions i think as its all to confusing if someone from usa posts a protector with really good reviews but we cant even get them
