Best screen protector? . And don't recommend whitestone dome (i will explain why)

[Nick216ohio]

So, what's the best film screen protector that offers full coverage to the edges? I tried lots of them, but they don't cover the edges fully and when looking from the side, you can see the naked screen + collecting dust on those sides...
I was going to give tech21 a try, but they are overpriced for a film protector.

Ebay got my tech21 screen protector new for $20. I've seen them as low as $10-15 on there.

Is it compatible with UAG plasma? Cannot really find any compatible ones.

The only true way to remove all air bubbles is to go to a shop that refurbishes screens. They have an autoclave to pull almost all the air out which forces the bubbles out. Once this is done they can use their industrial uv light to cure it for you.

Once we get our setup for refurb in we will he offering this for all edge glass. Of course cleaning the earpiece is important before curing.

I don't know about you, but I've got zero problems with Zagg curved invisible shield. It saved my screen recently when my phone fell on the floor in the gym. The screen protector cracked and fell off. The screen remained intact.
Warranty replacement took about 10 days to get to me.
I've got no problems witch unresponsiveness and the installation is a breeze.

I got the the Bodyguardz Arc. Its... not great. You see the glue line on the edge, touch response issues, and $50. I might stay with it though due to the life time replacements. If something better comes along I might switch. But for now, I have to stick with hard pressing the keyboard so every letter is typed.

I rock AmorSuit case friendly film. I've been using them for years on all of my phones. It causes a little more drag when using the Spen but that isn't a deal breaker for me. Bubble free clean installation from a steamy bathroom works great for me.

I am using the Force Glass screen protector I bought in a store for 39.99€, the installation is quite simple and fast. The protector comes with different tools to clean the screen first and it has a small system to help you installing the screen protector, of course it is glass, so it is good. Though it does not cover the edge fully, it covers the main part of it. While I had issues with my installation (the bottom left part of the screen being less sensitive than the rest) it is a quite good protection.

I am also using for the back the rugged case with stand from Samsung, it has a gap between the edges of the case and of the screen protector, it can become a nasty place in a short amount of time.

But in the overall my device seems protected.

Using an Otterbox Defender. And a Zagg full phone wrap. The Defender case causes the wrap to peel slightly at the top/bottom portions of the phone but does not affect usability (the case holds the rest of the protector in but am slightly disappointed - this happens even if I place it on the top case attachment first).

OB seems to be getting cheaper in their case design. Both headphone/USB covers just peeled off after very little open/close actions. They use the cheapest soft TPU or whatever they can get their hands on. The soft "rubber" seems to be sensitive to anything that's rubbed on it so I have a lot of blemishing on the outer shell. It has saved my phone from a few drops, but I could have probably gone with a much better case (this was $30CAD on Amazon).

Ideally I would have liked to glue in the outer shell to the inner (since this has worked before with a Note II) since in the event of theft it would make it very difficult to remove without damaging the device itself -- but the materials are definitely cheaper than what they used to be. I need a better case for that.

Having used a few, without shelling out for a Whitestone Dome, I have given up. I now use a film screen protector which goes around the curves. It's not without risk, from impact, but I've given up on having cracked screen protectors. The ones I've used have usually cracked within a few days.

The Whitestone Dome is the best option. It arguably as may be the only option. It doesn't have coverage over the edges, but with a good case, as has been said before, this doesn't matter. I've also come to find since getting this phone that screen protectors not having full coverage is nothing new. This "issue" or"imperfection" in the Whitestone Dome is shared with screen protectors on many iPhones. My iPhone 7 for work that I recently got has the same screen protector issues as the Whitestone Dome the iPhone 6 and 8 also have a complex curve at their corners. It's no big deal. This phone has been out for almost a year. There aren't going to be any more good options.

Skinomi has been very good to me. Easy wet application for the perfect fit, doesn't ruin touch sensitivity and doesn't look like anything is on your screen. Doesn't leave spen marks also it self heals if there are creases or minor scratches.

Sorry! Late to the game... What case did you use with the Skinomi? TIA
