Giving up on glass. Help me get wet.

[pieces of cake]

As much as I prefer tempered glass, I've given up on my search for a TG protector that fits, looks and feels right.

That being said, I'm now on the hunt for a wet application screen protector that offers the closest thing to edge-to-edge coverage as possible. I use an Elago case when I'm out and no case as all when home, so case-friendly is of no benefit to me.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations, shared personal experiences and pictures (if any)!

The problem with the wet ones is the pen leaves marked and not smooth

I have had the Spigen and the Skinomi. The Spigen one is very thick and always has an orange peel look to is. I have had the Skinomi V1 which fits with most cases and now have the Skinomi V2 which is more edge to edge. The Skinomi 'heals' a lot faster than the Spigen - yes it leaves pen marks but use the black tip and just wait a few, they do go away. The Skinomi is thinner and is very smooth so it doesn't have that orange peel look.

The V2 only fits with minimal cases, I have a Pitaka and it fits perfectly edge to edge of the glass. I had a Skinomi on my Note 7 and loved it, the only reason I started with the Spigen is that the Skinomi wasn't available at the time. At 2 for $7 on Amazon, it's hard to beat. Easy to apply and I do them super wet to allow for the best alignment. Added bonus, they do hide minor chips and cracks very well.

Skinomi V2 for Note 8 (excuse the pocket dust). I tried to show the most extreme angles and worst aspects, looking straight on it's perfectly clear.

I have used Armoursuit wet protector on my s7 edge and this Note 8....perfect install both times....never peeled up from edge...covers sides...and will work with case friendly...I have used pen and no marks on screen so far

Watch install video and use hair dryer to assist.

No other reason for me to get anything else..

Good luck

Had good luck with the Skinomi so far , works good with s pen. Just ordered an Armorsuit to try them out as well. Have used Armorsuit in the past with good results as well.

I went with the IQ Shield and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm actually not noticing any pen marks. Perhaps I'm not pressing as hard as others.

Does any one know if the IQ shield interfere with the samsung clearview official stand/case ?

I see you have that bad ass case on.:laugh: mine is coming in monday I can not wait. Also I am getting the car mount with it.

Did anyone try the Armorsuite full body protector? Can you wonder around with it only and no cases?

 

[Smartphoner]

After trying a lot of protectors and losing too much money. Nillkin TG is perfect in covering the whole screen with angles, it has black edges, compatible with all cases and the most important thing is that the sensitivity to touch is outstanding!

try the Techmatte Tempered Glass. probably the best on both the S8 Plus and Note 8, and I have both phones.

I gave up on glass screen protectors with curved screens. I can't stand the lip it leaves on the edges. Especially since I use multiple apps that I have to swipe from the edge. I have been using the Nano liquid screen protectors and don't have any scratches. Now I know it will not help if I drop my phone on its face. But something you just have to deal with. I did see this one called from simply carbon it's a flexible screen protector that you can hit with a hammer and it will not break. Has anyone tried one of these?

I put the Skinomi 2 on last night
I've never done a wet-application screen protector before and it was surprisingly easy. Today the bubbles are all gone except for one little dust spec that doesn't bother me. It works well with my new Spigen Tough Armor case. I'm happy with this combo

I just looked up the Simply Carbon Fiber screen protectors. Looks interesting. I just wonder if they are soft and the S-Pen will leave leave marks or not. They also don't look to be case friendly.

That's the same thing I was thinking too. Because I love how smooth the glass is on my Note8 I don't want anything that doesn't feel like that.

I'm currently using a wer apply screen protector. It feels smooth and looks great, but the S-Pen leaves marks. Theres just no perfect solution.
