Reddit reviews amFilm Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Full Screen Coverage, 3D Curved Tempered Glass, Dot Matrix with Easy Installation Tray (Black)

I am going to give you my conclusions after reading alot about this topic before I got mine.

The best one so far is Whitestone dome. If you can get it, do so and save yourself from wasting your money on products that wont work. Although it is the best, it is not perfect.
Cons:

• It is expensive.
  -People find difficulties in installing it(I did not).
  -The adhesive on the edges keep collecting dust and dirt.
  I have it on for 4 days so I am not sure if there are more cons.
  mobilefun.co.uk sells it. See if you can get it from there.
  
  Zagg has a new Fully adhesive that is currently out of the stock. I don't know when it is coming back. I've not seen reviews on Note 8 TG. But I've read on s8 reddit that is very good. If you are not in a rush and you can't get the the whitestone then maybe you should wait for this to be available again and see what do people who already have ordered it say about it. Please note that I'm talking about Zagg ELITE which is a newer version- Their older version sucks.

  If you cant get get Whitestone and dont want to wait for Zagg's then have a look at those.

  This is fully adhesive. I read on XDA that its very good. Some complain that it doesnt stick properly on edges

  This one only sticks at the edges but I ve read that it sticks really good and doesnt have sensitivity issues with the screen like other tg that are only adhesive to edges.

  This is a newer version of OTAO which I ve read that it is very good.
  
  
  Those are the only ones that I got the impression that they may work from others' experiences

The best case in my opinion is this one by Urban Armor Gear. They're very rugged and barely make the phone thicker. I've used them on all my phones. My note 3 from 2013, my S7Edge, and now my Note 8. Never had any issues with them breaking or colors changing over time.

As far as glass screen protectors this one from amazon is pretty good. It even comes with a plastic guide so the protector gets perfectly aligned. The only problem is I can't use the screen protector and my UAG case at the same time. So I'm just using the UAG case by itself because that seems more substantial than just the screen protector.

amFilm Galaxy Note 8 Screen Protector Glass

not the most premium out there, but honestly i regularly drop my note. it's nice when i break it to just shrug, whip out another $12 screen protector, and have it installed with 0 effort in 2 minutes.

everything about it is just so easy. adhesive is only on the edges, so you can't get bubbles or weird stuff. comes with a simple plastic frame to line it up during install so it's really unfuckuppable.

I have a note 8.

I went without a screen protector or case for a while. I was totally fine with microscratches, I just don't want cracks. Well, eventually it cracked after one really really bad evening.

After getting a replacement with insurance, I know use a Spigen neo hybrid case and this protector

The only problem I've had is that I spilled some soda and a tiny bit got under the protector.

I hike a pretty rough trail about once a week. I haven't dropped it on the trail but I feel pretty confident about it. Ive dropped it at the office and at the house and obviously the phone and screen are totally fine.

EDIT: there is a small change in responsiveness. The only time I notice it is when I use the camera because I often stand it precariously in my desk and lightly tap it to start a timer. Now I have to brace it to tap it, or I use the pen, which can still just use a light tap.

Got this one for the wife that seems to think it's okay to constantly drop phones.

It gives the screen a slightly mirrored finish. touch sensitivity is 99.99% as good as a bare screen.
You will see rainbows and the dot matrix in bright sunlight but it's not too bothersome.

I would highly recommend this one:

Specially if you dont want to spend 4 times as much on Whitestone and not to mention the mess it creates. Further there have been threads here and at XDA on how the screen still cracked at the corners even with Whitestone on.

I have been using this one from Phone launch in September, still going strong, no sensitivity issues and excellent customer service. This actually cover just about everything so no corner is exposed and surprisingly still fits well with a case.

One negative is its a smudge hell, but I guess that the case with all glass protectors.

EDIT: Also, another issue is that there is not cutout for front camera and other sensors(except earpiece), after some months of use I am noticing some dust under the front camera, it doesn't seem to affect the camera performance even though I frequently get messages to clean the lens whenever I use it.

This is the one i got. 2 pack. So far excellent. Doesn't affect screen touch responsiveness.

Not the guy you asked, but https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G1W2RC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . They are tempered glass.

My wife and I have used them both, and my wife has gotten two warranty replacements from them (both after she dropped her phone and the protector cracked). TBH, despite the 3.5 stars on Amazon, they're fantastic. You might lose just a sliver (1mm? less?) of screen real estate around the edges because they have a black border, but I would highly recommend them if you can live with that and follow the installation instructions. It's very easy to install if your phone is dust-free and you use the included alignment guide "case".

Here's the installation video for the Note 8:

It's also compatible with the Spigen Tough Armor, which both my wife and I use as well. Haven't had any issues with S-Pen/finger sensitivity either.

After going though a couple of Whitestone protectors I gave up on them. They seem really bad about lifting which causes bubbles. Anyway I started running these amFilm protectors a while back and have been quite happy with them. They aren't perfect(there is some reduced touch sensitivity, especially on the edges), but for the price I'll keep using them. The oleophobic coating is pretty good when they are new, but it does wear off after a while. I'll probably be replacing mine pretty soon just because the coating has worn off, but at $10 each it's not a big deal.

I like this one. It comes with a plastic thing that makes sure you get it aligned properly. I am on my second one now as I dropped my phone and cracked it last week.

I got this one, and I really like it.

There are two that work fine that are cheap for the Note 8 which if you search here you will see are recommended. I have this one below and it works great. No loss of sensitivity. Does pick up fingerprints though.

I personally think the S-View cases from Samsung are an underrated accessory. They allow you to control media etc without even opening up the phone, and just look pretty sleek in general.

For actual screen protectors, it's a challenge because of the curved screen. I've tried a few, and have been very satisfied with amfilm - they're the most affordable, and if you register immediately you get upto 3 replacements free for damage. They do have a dot matrix pattern and have a rainbow effect under certain lighting conditions, but I havent found either to be a truly big enough hassle.

I have had good experiences with them on other products, if it follows the same fate as the S8 (doesn't hold up because tempered glass is a meme on curved edges), then I'll go with a non tempered glass protector down the road unless some really great one comes along.

I added some photos of the break, do you think something like this could work? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G1W2RC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G1W2RC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_I4qYzbS6XQGF7 this should be it. Granted I haven't had it on for a long period of time ye t, but it seems to be doing okay for the price paid.

I'm thinking of getting the Samsung Rugged Case, and wondering if a screen protector will fit when using the case? Thinking of this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G1W2RC?psc=1&pf_rd_p=f0eab1e5-6fb9-41f0-8024-4a7d38a13342&pf_rd_r=R76VSD0T544FVPWWDT7T&pd_rd_wg=NJnyc&pd_rd_i=B074G1W2RC&pd_rd_w=yRbXz&pd_rd_r=6339ede4-664b-44f1-9027-5c3f30083341&ref_=pd_luc_rh_crh_rh_sim_02_01_t_img_lh

I ordered a screen protector for my kid's Switch, and it seems pretty good with a nice fit.

Appreciate any info on whether they'll work together. Cheers
