Any glass recommendations for the BLU R1 HD device?
I am looking for the same. I found some on AMZN but dont know if to bite the bullet on them.
Amazon Screen Protectors
Honestly I wasn't going to put one on, because for me it's just a cheap backup, But after one day of use I already have a few very small scratches on the top right hand corner, Gorilla Glass 3 isn't doing great and my OCD is already bothering me.
If I get scratches on the actual screen area I'll lose it lol
On Amazon their are three choices and honestly they very well may all be manufactured by the same company based on the listings
BLU R1 HD Screen Protector [Tempered Glass], Popsky 0.26MM Ultra Thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Scratch Proof Premium Screen Protector Glass Protective Film $8.50 w/ Shipping
[2 Pack] BLU R1 HD Screen Protector, Nearpow® [Tempered Glass] Screen Protector with [9H Hardness] [Crystal Clear] [Easy Bubble-Free Installation] [Scratch Resist] $9.99 - Free Prime Shipping
BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protetor, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness Shatterproof High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone - $8.30 with shipping
They are all 0.26MM
They all have 2.5D edges (which should match better with the 2.5d screen
They all have oleophobic coating
They all list Anti scratch/shatter/explosion.
My advice would be that if you want a backup protector and have prime go for the second one, otherwise the last one is 20 cents cheaper and most likely they are all the same screen protector just repacked by different companies which is extremely common. For a buck and some change more I'll probably go with the second one and let you know how it goes.
I ordered the one from Nearpow. I will update this when it comes in and I install on my BLU R1 HD.

Looking forward to your review as I'm looking at that one myself.
I got this one early on.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I61Y33Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I received the product, it didn't look like the one in the picture. Honestly, the shape and the cut outs looked like the other ones you listed. Fit was horrible. The Blu has a lot of curve and the edges weren't able to seal. Lots of lift around all the borders. Hopefully, these other ones are better.
Any updates on best screen protectors, no scratches yet, but i have saw a post or two about how easy this screen scratches.
The one I purchased arrived last night and I took off 6 for a .99$ plastic protector that I bought. That protector never say well so I gave the glass a try. Unfortunately the glass one sat just as poorly. Where the cut outs were for the camera and the LED the glass did not fit flush against the phone and showed as it was lifted.
I have taken both off and am just using the phone naked.
IMO
In my personal experience *most* screen protectors are created equal. My sister bought one off Amazon for 10$ and I bought one for 1.50$ on Ebay, When they arrived her's was in a fancier box but inside the boxes they had almost exactly the same contents. I tried scratching mine with a knife, and it didn't scratch (so it was glass). I'd say it is worth the risk (only 1.50 shipped in the same time as amazon one)

I bought the nearpow one and the fit was awful, because of the 2.5D glass it just didn't adhere on the sides at all and it wasn't even close to full coverage. I've chosen not to worry too much about the screen, it's a $60 phone.
I just bought a cheap case that has a bit of a lip to stop the screen from touching stuff. If I place it face down for example.

Same, because the phone screen is not square in the sides the protector don't adhere like it's supposed too
Does anyone like the nearpow ones from amazon? I bought the box with two of them but haven't put one on yet. I'm wondering if it's even worth trying since reports so far don't seem to good. I can see where it might be more challenging to make them for a screen with rounded edges. I have two of the phones now and like them very much so am interested in protecting them.
I purchased this one:
"BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone"
from amazon.
Does not fit cleanly.
Given all these reports I am beginning to wonder if these are even tested or manufacturers just assume it will work once cut out to size.
Sadly, i'm just joining in the bad news. I purchased the Qosea Ultra-thin 2.5D 9H Hardness Crystal Clear Scratch Resistant Tempered Glass Screen Protector for BLU R1 HD and so far it-s the same result, it doesn-t stick on the edges because of the curvature of the screen. I'm still using it because i don't want to ruin the screen so i'll be waiting for the confirmation of a tempered glass that actually fits the screen properly.
I'm a bit baffled reading all the comments here and on amazon. It truly seems like nobody tested these things. I-m starting to think there are fake commenters because each glass protector have at least one 5 star review telling about how amazingly fits. Followed by nothing but unsatisfied people.
I have had mine since release and it's still in good shape. Don't see a point in getting any protector for such a cheap phone.
Well it's not exactly tempered glass but the reviews are better as to fit. Apparently it's a hard plastic. I'm getting this phone for my kid so something needs to go on there becasue he's not exactly not clumsy.

I have used the Stenheil Ultra Crystal or Ultra Oleophobic from spigen / SGP on like my last 10 devices, because, they are by far and above the best I've ever used, hands down, in every way.
But for some reason, they decided not to make one for the DNA. My guess is the curved edge of the glass, they had issues with the curved glass on the Galaxy Nexus too since these protectors are "rigid". I don't care if it can't cover the entire glass as it's still better than nothing...
Anyone come across a screen protector that is like the Ultra Crystal for the DNA? IE - no orange peel, no gummy feel, no change in the picture quality, etc. IE - NOT a Zagg style protector, lol. Thanks in advance.
Have you ever tried 'best skins ever'? I use them on all my device. If you are generous with the solution the orange peel is so minor it's hard to see. I've actually used them so much I can get them on with no orange peel. They feel almost like the glass when placed correctly.

Yeah, that's a zagg invisible shield style. It's a protective material, not a good screen protector material. I'm looking for a rigid, dry install type protector. That type has NO orange peel and feels just like glass.
I used to use boxwave back in the day, they were nearly as good as Steinheil's. But it seems they stopped making protectors for all but the absolute most popular devices.
I'm probably going to order one (Steinheil Ultra Crystal) for the HTC One and just it it, it won't cover all the glass but it will the visible area at least. I confirmed this on my friends One.
Have you considered tempered glass screen protectors? There appears to be one offered by iMUSE. It should offer the best clarity, but it cost $30. I haven't purchased one myself because there aren't any reviews to be found for this screen protector.
As the title says, Zagg has finally added Original and HDX style screen protectors. They both ship more-or-less immediately, but their tempered glass one is still out of stock.
Head on over to http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/google-nexus-6-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields to see.
I will be more than likely getting this.
I'm kinda curious to see if ZAGG can release a glass screen protector that fits the N6 correctly or should I say "seals" correctly.
I've been looking at my BodyGaurdz and I think the flat design would be OK if the adhesive was a little more, um, adhesive.
So anyway what is HDX? It's basically plastic right?
I've already gone though 2 of the glass ones from zagg ( they have been available in store since they launched the n6 ). The original from sprint, and the updated sku version directly from zagg ( not sure what changed ).. They do not fit any better then the others. They go right to the edge of the device, and over the curved screen to produce wonderful halo effects right over the proximity sensor ( no cut outs for camera or sensor ). My second one is in the mail box right now waiting to go back to them... I can live with some halo effects ( some, not what i'm getting ), but with no cut outs, it does effect the device. Stick with your bodyguards for now ( at least its got the cut outs for camera/proximity), or get the orzly which is cut smaller then the screen to avoid the curved edges. Only other option would be plastic ones, like the zagg HDX.
Save your money....

HDX is plastic like their original, but smoother and more transparent
Good to see, but I'm only interested in Glass which is still unavailable.
Zagg Glass in my experience are the easiest to put on, due to the easy plastic handles on the sides. Helps you line everything up perfectly.
Yeah that's kind of what I'm waiting for too is glass. I currently have a bodyguardz pure and it is not sealing on the edges.

I have been certain I wanted to get a glass screen protector for the N6, but the more I read about them the more it seems like it is unlikely I will find one that fits the N6 screen well. So I've been looking at the Zagg HDX. According to Zagg, the HDX actually provides better drop protection than the glass. However, the glass is better at resisting fingerprints. In regular day-to-day use, I"d probably have more issues with fingerprints than drops. However, fingerprints can be easily wiped away. A drop could do a lot of damage. So I'm starting to waver in my conviction that a glass screen protector is best.
Do you believe that the HDX would provide better protection from damage to the screen? And, if you've used the HDX or seen it, what do you think of the clarity? Any glare?
---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------
Since posting above, I did a little looking online to see what I could find out about Zagg HDX v Zagg glass screen protector. I ended up on Amazon. Since there are no reviews on these products for the N6, I took a look at the ratings for them on the iPhone 6+, thinking that it would be the most similar to the N6 in size and shape. Looking at the 30 most recent reviews, the glass averaged 3.95 and the HDX 2.88 out of a possible 5. From the glass reviews, the ones that concerned me the most mentioned chipping on the edges leading to cracks in the glass. From the HDX reviews, the most concerning were comments on how hard it was to apply, the lack of clarity, and problems with smudges and fingerprints. I'm still considering.
Edited to add: I went back to Amazon and checked out the reviews on the HDX for the Note 4, and they were much better---4.5 out of 5.
Just my experience with Zagg as a company I was a loyal invisishield user and was replacing two items through there warranty exchange. The items never came. I contacted them and they said they wouldn't charge me for not returning the items as they were moving locations and shipping was delayed. Long story short, I never got the items, Zagg charged me for not returning the defective products (because I never received replacement) and refused to refund me and fought my cc dispute. Pretty shady over 40 bucks. Just my experience

The best non glass one I've used (after trying 6 non glass and 3-4 glass) is the Spigen Crystal plastic one. I would recommend trying it. I still want glass, but I'll wait until they get it right.

On my previous phone - icarez was by far the best i've come across. I tried a few glass ones, but the halo left me reaching for a plastic one again.
Currently : http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Spigen®-Crystal-JAPANESE-Definition/dp/B00P1HJC2E on my phone and my wife's phone. As the previous poster said, hoping these companies will eventually get the glass protectors right.

I will confirm this. Have the Zagg Glass on my Nexus 6 and it has seal issues. Mostly around the speaker ports and slightly on the edges. It's a little better than some of the others out there, but IMO not near good enough. I've ordered a HDX replacement back on Dec. 26th and it was showing expected ship date as Dec 30th and still is. Spoke to them this morning and they said it was back ordered and they don't expect the HDX for N6 to be available until end of Jan.
I too find myself in a quandary regarding glass - its preferable, but if none of them are cut correctly then it seems something else will have to work in the meantime. Has anyone compared Spigen Crystal (one of the best "standard" plastic I've found), Zagg HDX, and Rhinoshield - in terms of color/clarity/fit/anti-fingerprint coating etc...? Zagg HDX and Rhinoshield are suppose to be "not quite glass, but impact resistant harder/clearer than normal film" types, so I wonder if it stands up.
Edit: I hear that Spigen and some other plastics manage to obscure/trigger certain sensors like proximity... has this been your experience with Spigen, HDX, Rhinoshield etc...? Also, I wonder how close the Rearth/Ringke protector is compared to Spigen - the Ringke design seems to have a proximity cut out where the Spigen does not...but I hear that few standard protectors have the clarity/slick glassy feel of the Spigen.

The Spigen has never given me any sensor issues and I've been using it since late november. I've seen people saying the Rhino Shield is cut way too big so it has a halo effect. The Spigen is the largest fit I have seen with plastic ones so far. I have tried Mr. Sheilds, Invisible Shield, iCarez, Spigen, Xtreme Guards, Jelly Comb etc.. and all of them have issues except for Spigen. I didn't like Spigens other Nexus 6 products (Neo Hybrid broke in a week, Slim Armor kickstand was too weak) however they nailed the screen protector in my opinion.
running the HDX here and no complaints with quality, came from the glass protector and it had the nasty halo effect, returned it told the dude at the kiosk, happily gave a refund and hooked me up with a free HDX, he had to get it specially cut in the machine, i guess this was when HDX was still unavailable at the time, but either way had a sheet of that stuff and just bam put it on, a few places of imperfections of the shield not completely "drying" out but beats better than having a naked glass for the meantime!
I just received my HDX in the mail today, after waiting more than 3 weeks for it to even ship. There is no cutout for the sensor or camera, which leaves me in dismay. There is also no fluid, this is a dry application screen protector, my first from Zagg. I've purchased at least 5 different screen protectors from Zagg, for tablets and phonesl and they have always been "wet" applications, so thats a little odd for me. The protector went on quite easily. The only "bubbles" are near the edges where it isnt sealing/adhering quite perfectly, especially at the speaker ports. I dont use the front camera too often so hopefully there wont be any issues from the screen protector covering it. 8/10
Edit: As a side note, I'm pretty worried that my case will push up on the edges of the screen protector, as it doesnt seal quite perfectly. I did not have this issue with my skinomi protector that I just replaced with this Zagg one.
Hello,
i just received my Nillkin 3D CP+ Max tempered glass two hours ago,
and guess what? it was damaged 10 minutes later because of my casology vault 1 case!
i wonder what should i do to protect my phone's screen from drops?
any ideas about Anything compatible with that case i should use to protect my phone?
seems like all glass protectors are the same with the cases , also other soft protector isn't designed to protect the phone against drops
what should i do?
Honestly i'm giving up!
I break 3 tempered glass screen protectors with small 0.5m drops. Reason is different from yours. Due to our edge screen, temper glass will get cracked easily.
For your case, u should look for " case friendly " screen protectors. Find those which does not cover the edges or/and full screen. Can be tempered glass, PET or healing verison.
I tried without screen protector. The conclusion is very nice screen but gorilla glass 5 is NOT scratch proof. I got some minor scratches.
In Singapore, we have plenty in physical shops, and online shops like q10sg and lazada etc. selling mobile phone accessories. So i have no links to share with you. Just search for some " case friendly " screen protectors.
Ps:
I wasted about sgd100 on screen protectors. Hahah
I gave up on tempered glass. I use spigen neo flex wet apply for now. Going for lifeproof fre when it comes out.
I basically gave up on TGSP's on these types of devices as well. Display is holding up pretty well w/ my rough handling, haven't seen any scratches yet but I'm sure it'll have some sometime down the line. Lol
Ive spent over $100 on screen protectors for the S8 (whitestone dome was $45) and not a single one has worked. The amount of money Ive paid would have paid for 9 months of Samsung Premium care and with the free month Id get 10 months of insurance which is longer than Ill have this phone. Yes Id still have to pay a $99 deductible but Id have a perfect phone in 24 hours if I break it vs no insurance and a box of useless screen protectors.
Ive been able to return all but one protector so Ive decided to focus my money on insurance and peace of mind knowing that when it breaks Ill have a new one.
Skip the screen protectors and get insurance. The headache is just not worth it. If the scratches get to the point of bothering you, start carrying the phone naked. Eventually you're going to need to file a claim.
Here's another one https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories/type-screen-adhseive-glass-sort-t3618285
Give this one a try. Working flawlessly on my device.

I've just got one of those plastic screen protectors from Invisible Shield that doesn't go all the way to the edge. It does the job. Either way, with or without a protector, your phone is still vulnerable to drops.

Oh yeah, I should've mentioned -- I've got a Spigen Neo Hybrid and it slips on/off without any issues and works with the protector.
I've had the same exact issue. I've bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (perfect case by the way, I love it, had the same on my Nexus 6, showcases the back of the phone while protecting it just as well as the well-known neo hybrid case). I knew that the tempered glass screen protectors won't work with it well and I didn't want to waste my money on them. I looked for something different. I ended up buying the official screen protector for under $10 (you get 2 for the price) (this one, only for S8 instead of S8+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/official-samsung-s8-screen-protector-t3600373 , model number is Samsung ET-FG950CT).
I thought it might fit with the case. But when I came home, after a while I realized that this isn't gonna work. So I was deciding what to do, return the protector? But then I'd have to find another one, which might be long and expensive journey. I didn't want that.
So I grabbed my scissors and started to cut the protector carefully. There was not much I could lose. I cutted it to the point where it doesn't interfere with the case, but covers pretty much the whole display. It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works and I am satisfied with it. And I still got one screen protector to repeat the process in case this one ever gets damaged

The tempered glass that works for me is the Ankoon tempered glass screen protector. The screen protector just covers up to about where the edge begins to curve. In that way when you put a case on it, it doesn't rub up against it were it bends the tempered glass protector.
I have the GS8 with the Spigen Neo Hybrid case and I do not have any problems with the tempered glass screen protector lifting against the case. If you do get this tempered glass screen protector, I would advise you to get the 2-pack of this screen protector since its not that much more than the single pack and you have a spare screen protector handy to replace the current screen protector if it starts to break down.

i opened the link at amazon and i saw A LOT of angry people reviewing the Protector
Same, I would only trust full adhesive ones and not ones with adhesives on the sides only.
I guess I got lucky on mine. Have the S8 Plus and have had no problems at all with my screen protector. I read up on them beforehand and read plenty of reviews and just decided to not even attempt a glass screen protector.
I ordered two kinds on Amazon. The IQ Shield liquid skin, and the Spigen Neo-flex. I put the IQ Shield on, took maybe 10 minutes, and haven't had a single issue after about a month now, all the edges are still stuck down. It's very clear and seems durable. It reminds me of a Zagg invisible shield but not nearly as "rubbery" feel. It feels like a cross between a Zagg invisible shield and a glass one. I'm still on the first one so haven't had a chance to compare it to the Spigen and I also have a spare IQ Shield.
I also ordered the Caseology coastline series slim transparent cover. Works great with the above screen protector. Like they were made for each other and it protects great. It's taken quite a few drops and at least twice has flown out of my cycling top flying down the road at 23 mph. Barely a scratch!!

Yes because they are bunch of noobs that do not know how to apply this tempered glass screen protector. Anyways it seems like with these curved screens almost all of the tempered glass screen protectors just have adhesives on the side and you stick it on.
I was like you fed up and almost just gave in to do the wet screen protectors but just the mere thought of having to spray the beautiful phone with the solution and squeegee out the excess AND not to mention that you have to wait like half a day for the thing to dry out before using it made me at least consider trying 1 more tempered glass screen protector which this one talked about having less real estate it covers to provide enough cushion to apply a case and sure it enough it worked for me. I ordered the 2 pack version which is through the link below. For some reason Amazon separated the product reviews so this one has more positive reviews but you are never going to satisfy everyone.
I guess I could post a pic to show what my phone looks like with the screen protector on and the case.

There is no need to use screen protector in today's phones. I stopped in late 2015 and none of my phones got any scratches on screen (and I put them in my bag with my keys all the time). The gorilla glass 4/5 are super strong and scratch resistant.
I bought a couple from AliExpress dint work as well as needed the screen fully works but bringing the notification panel down was an issue but give the Whitestone dome protector i have a friend who uses it and says its brilliant though its pretty expensive but rather 50 bucks than getting a new screen my Opinion
Just got these in 2 days ago and it works great! They actually have the screen protector just the right width do that the case does not peel up the glass, also my old Spigen case doesn't peel it up either, just throwing that out there if you dont like the cases.

My mother and I have had the S8 since release. We have never had an issue with breaking the screens until this phone! The Zagg one on release day absolutely stunk as the adhesive was only on the curved part of the protector leaving the whole screen non responsive to our touch. Since then we have been daring and been going without one. Within the last 3 months my mother dropped her phone twice. The phone was replaced at a $149 deductible the first time. I refuse to pay it again until I can find a screen protector that works!
Please help!
Full adhesive, curved edges, perfect glass cover.. Can be purchased from Home Depot or Amazon!
Samsung Glass Screen Protector - Ultra Thin Tempered Glass with Easy Applicator and Cleaning Kit - Smudge, Fingerprint, Scratch and Shatter Resistant - ProGlass by Tzumi
Doesn't make since to make another thread, but I'm looking for something that's similar. Preferably one that is case friendly, doesn't ruin touch sensitivity, and doesn't have a weird cutout for the sensors at the top. I bought the Pro Glass one in the above post, but it wasn't case friendly.

As far as I know, having tempered glass only won't help when the phone drops.
For myself, I watched several people try drop testing S8 using rhino shield bumper case (can search on YouTube). I too, have one, but since I don't like the glass back getting smeared with fingerprint, I go to otterbox defender (a hefty one), and finally to spigen tough armor (the one I currently use).
For record, I have dropped my phone twice (forgot whether using defender or rhinoshield), without any tempered glass, and the phone is still working without flaw.

This looks promising GOBUKEE GALAXY S8 Full Glue Tempered Glass
Thanks!
$30 for a screen protector does not look promising!

Neither is wasting money on cheaper versions that just don't work. If this one actually prevents screen damage without compromising the user experience then it's a good investment.
I bought these.. pretty good in my opinion, for the price

What case are you using with your GOBUKEE?

I got these. There is about ~1mm gap between top and bottom edges clearance with spigen tough armor on. The sides of the glass are almost right on the edges of the case. I don't recommend using it without a case or with rhino bumper bc it doesn't go to the edges and feels weird bc of the extra gap. It does come with a tool that clips onto the phone to line it up perfect. I'm happy with it.
I'm using a Spigen case. I do have an S8 active, so the case is different, but Spigen makes great stuff
Incipio Plex Plus Shield Edge is awesome, had mine for a couple months and it's still attached lol

It may be a PET protector but it does the job and is super thin and case friendly. Another aspect is that it's cheap! 3 for 8 bucks and was easy to install.
Anyone knows a tempered glass that fits with the Spigen Neo Hybrid ?

The best glass for S8 is Gobukee full adhesive glass. Can be found on Amazon. Quite a new brand but the product is awesome..I am enjoying it.

Spigen offers a tempered curved protector that fits. Mine cracked after 2 months, still usable. Experienced a few spots in the corners where touch responsiveness is decreased.
What is the best Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S8
I've always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?
I got the Ounier screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
My device is new but I know all the tempered glass protectors are awful for this phone and dropped fast from the screen...
Whitestone dome is expensive for me.. but it was worth it?
I want good screen protector please.. glass is not good for this phone? maybe I need clear protector or matte? silicone?
UV light is a good option or the liquid water scratch the screen?
Please advices!!
Search on AlieExpress for Liquid Tempered Glass for Galaxy S9. You can even choose Case friendly or normal type of glass. Price is around 10$.

I'm using the Whitestone. It is expensive but if you do it right it will be the only one you need for the life of the phone. I have one on my s9+ and on my note 8. If you but an 800€/$/£ phone there is no reason to cheap out on a screen protector and case.
this whitestone is good? but I read of users that have bubbles after a few days of use..
why so expensive? durable for drops?
how is the warranty?
Bought a few protectors from aliexpress for about 1.5€ each. Finally managed to apply the third one correctly and its absolutely great. Will definitely not protect against drops and shattering but they do their jobs against scratches.

thank you, i bought two
You can use any other tempered glass with UV glue, just as whitestone and avoid buying the expensive one, just use loca glue and a cheap (but good) tempered glass, google "DIY tempered dome glass for S9".
I ordered the Whitestone and installed it.. amazing screen protector I ever used..
I use the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. It is relatively thin.
I use Crocfol screen protectors since ages. They're a foil so they go around the edges of S8 and S9 perfectly. Work as good as a tempered glass protector. Spigen has a similar product.
They're long lasting, self-reparing, don't take anything away from screen sensitivity. A bit pricey, around 25€ for a set with 2x front 1x protector plus something they call "liquid glass" which you can apply directly on the screen to eradicate micro scratches and seal your screen again, but absolutely worth it. I applied the first set immediately after my S9 arrived half a year ago and still have it on without it coming off around the edges or getting dull from scratches.
I had an accident and dropped my S8 full speed on concrete out of hand height, all it got was a tiny crack on the backside (2mm maybe). So if you don't like glass protectors this might be a very good choice for you.
I ordered the Spigen Neoflex
skinomi this is my go to screen protector. works with any case and when u scratch it it comes back to the original shape, more like gel on top though you don't notice it. It has life time warranty, easy to apply and the price is decent. all those aliexpress , ebay screens dont make sens any more. i mean you spend a 500 600 on a phone and you wont spend 10- 20 for something decent at least.
I used this and it works just like WhiteStone at a lower cost. Liked it so much I purchased two just in case.

I've got the supacase unicorn beetle. Has good case protection, very light and built in screen protector. Couldn't ask for much more.
Hi I ordered this screen protector and it seems nice ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...var=442089289527&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 )
Search term : "s9 tempered case friendly full glue"
It's very glossy, not fingerprint resistance but it sticks very well to the glass, bubble free (except the red circled areas ), and absolute no problem with touch responsiveness (I enabled touch sensitivity).
Now it's been about a week installed so drop, scratch and water resistance testings are not done yet
Works good easy to install no Fuss. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7M061/
I am really impressed with this $16 TGSP from Amazon, US.

It is a full glue and was an easy install and feels better than the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector that are on my and the wife's Note 9s. It does not show grease from fingers, like the Whitestone, either.
I wish they made it for the Note 9.
