So I know how difficult it is to find a good screen protector for the Note 8 at the minute, I've tried a few and sent them all back so far.
I ordered the MiiKare glass screen protector, and am pretty happy with it so I thought I'd share it.
I know it won't be the best, but it's the first one I've found that I'll be keeping on my device.

-Price, £8.99
-Packaging, cheap and chinese
-Fitting, easy;
(I did not use the fitting kit device thing, it was awful)
-Fit, good, allows for a case, could be individual cutouts as opposed to one big cut out.
-Visabilaty, 100% clear, very slight "rainbowing"
-Touch Sensitivity, minimal reduction
-S Pen compatability, very good, seemingly unaffected

It also came with a "leather effect" skin for the back, bit fiddly to apply but fine with a bit of patience, it looks OK, prevents scratches on the back when out of case so I'll keep it on, nothing special.

I completely agree with all the points above. Have used the Miikare tgsp since my handset was released from it's box and no issues so far at all. Would have preferred it to be completely clear as opposed to having black bars top and bottom, but otherwise great for the price ?

When you say "minimal reduction" about the touch sensitivity, do you have to press harder for it to detect input? Specially at the center areas?

I use s pen probably 90% of the time im using the phone and can honestly say I have no issue on any part of the screen, barely have to touch it and it works perfectly. I did ever so slightly misalign the protector on install though and when using my finger at the top and top corners I do find I sometimes have to press a bit firmer but nothing I'd say was frustrating as it's not that often an issue for me (probably just compounded by the fact my finger or thumb is already reaching for that part of the screen and pressing lighter than I do lower on the screen). Overall I'm very happy and bought a spare as backup (I'll probably try a fresh install at some point but as there's no issue with the s pen, I'm in no rush).
