Hi all, I've been after a decent screen protector for my Note 8 and came across a now closed thread on here asking for reviewers to receive a free one for testing. Unfortunately, I live in the UK so the free option was not available to me. As the reviews on Amazon.com seemed good I thought I'd try my luck. This is the protector:
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Friendly-Dendrobates-Installation-Coverage/dp/B076PRGQKM
Installation: this was a little bit tricky compared to a TGSP, as the film is much more flexible, it's very similar to the Brotect ones but actually covers most of the edges of the screen. The guide which fits into the USB port is a great idea as it ensures the correct alignment of the protector. Just take your time and push out any bubbles with the supplied squeegee. I did have a small issue when taking off the top protective layer as the adhesive used is very strong, this meant that the actual protector came away from the screen. Fortunately, the protector did not move and was easily refitted without any issues.
The protector fits very well with a small border that is not covered to allow use with a case. I've tried fitment with both the Ringke Onyx and Spigen Ultra Hybrid and both fit perfectly with no lifting of the protector.
Overall I'm very pleased with the protector and find it has a nice feel to it. It's more like a very thin glass and has a hard to the touch surface so works well with the stylus. The one thing I'd change is the left and right edges of the protector have a very fine black border, this would be fine if the protector was full coverage. As the protector is case friendly this border is on the actual screen, though this has not been an issue for me when using with a case as the edges are slightly obscured anyway.
I'll add photos when I get chance tomorrow.
