I do not see any vertical lines on sides. zagg screen protector on my note 8 displayed those vertical lines. it's a day and night difference (response/lag) compared to zagg screen protector.
Thanks for recommending this and posting your review!
No problem.. I love this thing myself.. I just wanted to share.. I spent so much on failed glass protectors. So this was both refreshing and exciting..


I just think I put mine on "off" a little bit, so that the glue is showing on that side. It's not a massive deal, I was just curious..

I have mine on (installed today) and the look and feel is good. Install was a breeze. Don't buy if you have OCD over screen sensitivity. It takes some pounding to type on the keyboard and otherwise swipe and select apps (compared to a plastic protector or going naked). Though this issue is usually par for the course with any glass protector that just has adhesive on the edges. However, if you are a heavy spen user and rely on bixby and voice input (I am increasingly getting better at this) it may be an issue that may not bother you. Spen plays relatively nice with the protector.

It's $13 so it is worth a try for anyone looking for another protector option. I'll circle back and report once I get a little more time to work with it.

You might want to contact the company and see if they'll send you another(something is off on yours). Because I know mine is very responsive and for sure doesn't exhibit what your stating. And I mean something is for sure wrong..

Let them know, as they are very customer satisfaction oriented (they sent me a few surveys and emails asking how mine was).

I hope they sort it out for you.

Thanks, I'll have to contact them. I think there may be a lack of adhesive near the bottom right of the protector.

The pictures aren't the best as I took them with my wife's phone. But I wanted to get something up, as I was so impressed.. And I have to specify, that this is the 12.99 version (this is the version 2) of their glass protector and not the 11.99.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but does yours leave the 4 corners a bit exposed? Or is it totally full, edge to edge coverage, all the way to the outer corners? I ordered one, received it yesterday, but mine is rounded and leaves a couple millimeters of exposed corners at the edge. I'd be concerned about a "gap" between the screen protector and my case, which may ultimately mean it could lift at the corners or trap dirt.

I admit I haven't applied it yet. I have a different glass protector on, which is more to edges of the corner. It's not perfect, which is why I'm looking into others.

Thanks for confirming! Guess I'll have to choose if the corners are a bigger issue, or some of the sensitivity issues on my current one. So far it's been tolerable but it does occasionally act up. Might give the OTAO a try, as I've already bought it anyway.

With the case I have I have to modify the case on the sides I took .030 off each side now I have a perfect fit with no sensitive issue.

I purchased the same one and it was easy to install but I did lose sensitivity and there are small dots that you can see under the screen when it is off.

I simply had to begin this review as it's going to be over a few days. But so far this protector is awesome! I can see (and it may have been my very fast and somewhat disbelief installation), on the right hand side a line of ä adhesive (see pictures), but that's the only fault I have with it..

It's smooth as silk to the touch, doesn't pick up a ton of fingerprints, and honestly, no loss of sensitivity to either my finger, or the s pen. And I mean no loss at all (I tried a bunch of protectors that were glass, including the loca glue method, and I had given up hope honestly.. But this one, so far is great), and is a keeper for me!

It is a straight dry installation with the tray, two cleaning clothes, and a dust sticker (no frills, but nice and sufficient). And I probably installed it in 3 minutes tops.. It has the little dotted surface that you can see in the package, but I actually cannot see it on the screen. There's an 18 month warranty, and I'm simply waiting a few days, as I place my phone in and out of my pocket, to make sure that the adhesive does not come loose. Otherwise, it might be the solution to our prayers (N8 users)...

The pictures aren't the best as I took them with my wife's phone. But I wanted to get something up, as I was so impressed.. And I have to specify, that this is the 12.99 version (this is the version 2) of their glass protector and not the 11.99.

I will update in a few days just to share how things are going.

I've been in contact with the company about a replacement via email. There is definitely a sensitivity problem on mine I think due to a lack of adhesive around the edges. Maybe I got a bad item but we will see if I can get them to send a replacement and try a different one. It seems like some of you are not experiencing the same problems I am. It takes quite a pounding to interact with the screen. The email response from OTAO was weird, representative said they would have to see if a manager would authorize a replacement. There seems to be a language barrier. Will see what happens.

Tried the v1 and now v2. Huge difference and exactly what I needed. Thanks!
V1 was piss poor sensitivity. Althought v2 isn't as smooth as screen protector-less. It does the job and I barely notice any sensitivity issues, if any.

Update: still working great for me.. As mentioned, I get a tiny bit of dust around the edges, but I'm not so sure that is not my case. I will probably order another case in the near future (I'm very selective, and takes me a very long time to find one I like), so I will see how it does with this aspect.

But my sensitivity is still great! I do get a bit of fingerprints, but it's an easy wipe on my shirt or if I can remember my cloth. All in all, is a great protector and helps me eat easier at night. Is very silky still to the touch when swiping, coloring, spot focusing and camera use, or note taking. I still am pretty surprised by that aspect of it honestly.

I'm trying to think of what else at this point. Oh, of course, no lifting at all, and shockingly enough it's tough. I think I am going to try and find one for my wife's phone, as she is hard on her phones. I like the protector that much, and the support they've given, when I had a question..

But that's it. I saw in another thread some people still struggling with Loca glue.. This is a much better option (at least for me, as having done both), and looks and works much better. Once again, that's for me.

Ordered it on Amazon prime, and I've had it on only 2 days, but the screen protector works great with my spigen case. No lifting on the edges so far, and only have sensitivity issues if I'm typing super fast... otherwise can't really notice a sensitivity issue, especially with the pen.

How did you get a hold of them. I have sensitivity issues along the bottom left of the screen making it hard to use the keyboard and I want to try and get a replacement before the return window runs out.

There is an email address on a business card that came in the box. If you have trouble locating the email address let me know and I'll look at what I have- I think I kept it.

Where does it say it's a V2? The item on provided link is OOS but there's another one that has top cut out for less. None of them has "version" in description.
