Has anyone tried this screen protector yet, looks like it will be very case friendly as it wraps all the way to the back, If anyone here has tried it how is the screen clarity ?

I do have it installed.

Not a bad screen protector, applying it was not hard. It wraps around the back, but I get straight line bubbles on the edge, which is not awful. Works with the cases, but sometimes cases push the bubbles in and you'd have to keep pushing them out. Overall, 5/10.
Screen sensitivity is okay, seems a little dry and there is a friction with the spen.

I'm using the same. It'll do for now. I may try the Armorsuit one next as it worked well on my N7. I rate it as a 6/10. Same issues as stated above.

This screen protector is waste of money. It's easy to apply but there will be a lot of bubbles and is sticky as well.
Do you also see the two rainbow effect lines on the left and right sides of the screen? Annoying to say the least.

4/10 for me

Here is my installation, fairly clean. No complaints but that might change

I hate this protector more than ever. It's so rubbery that my nail drags along every time I swipe or scroll. It's worse than the wet applications I've used in the past.

this is a pos product. Yes it does go on clear and wraps around but the plastic they used is so sticky that you cannot scroll and drag your fingers much less an spen. This must be the worse product ever!!!

Does this one have any holes or cutouts for the sensors? I can't see in the photos.

EDIT: NVM, I looked it up on Amazon, I don't like those cutouts. I'm gonna order it along with the protector for the Galaxy Tab 3 and use the Rinke one as a template to cut out of the other one. I've had a Tab 3 7.0 from IQ Shield conver on my Note 7 for a year and like it. Took a couple of tries to get the holes just right. Trying to get a good tempered glass solution is a headache, this option will keep me from going crazy till someone gets it right!

I bought one of these with a couple of Ringke cases but my note has not arrived yet...
Yours looks pretty clean, Can you come and apply mine for me? haha
How is it for smoothness? a lot of people here complaining about it being "sticky" i thought all protectors were like this for a few days... Has it gotten any better over time?

Yep, it was sticky but it smoothed out. I used alcohol on it and it helped clean the sticky surface. For me, it's great with the s pen. The annyoung thing so far is sometimes bubbles get pushed when I put the case and force it. Otherwise, no problem.

Here are some tips,

I did he steamy bathroom thing when applying. Make sure you have a clean surface.

I held a flash light between under my chin so I can see dust.

Have more alcohol pads on you just in case.

Air pressure can to remove dust or stickers, but the air can is better.

Hey guys a little update. I ended up removing the screen protector and I installed the Spigen wet install.
The reasons I removed it are:

It kept getting sticky. After I cleaned it with a alcohol cloth, it gets sticky within a few hours or a day sometimes.

After a clean installation, and being out of the case for a while, any case you put in, no matter what will get the edges pushed, which leads to some air gaps, then it creates bubbles.

Pushing our bubbles with such a sticky screen will damage and stretch the screen. I will upload a picture later of what had happened.

Overall, do not recommend for long term, for short term, it is alright.

I am trying he Spigen wet one, and it seems smoother, but the clarity is not as good as the Rinkge one, but still more than enough for me. Most cases for the note 8 really suck and will push most screen protectors up unless it is a case friendly screen protector.

Happy hunting.
