So who is going to be the first to try it for the S8? If you do can you report in case compatibility as well?
Amazon Smile Link
Link to video.
too expensive!!!
I just ordered one. Will update you when I get it and try it.
Ok, I'm intrigued. Please do report back.
I'll be getting mine Friday for the S8+. I'll report once I get it installed.
this is the first time seeing a screen protector getting applied like this... wow. although it is expensive, I would still buy it if it works well.

Wow all this for a glass screen protector? Looks promising tho
Seems very interesting; subscribed!
Don't ship to the UK ?
Thanks OP. Ordered mine. I tried Zagg and Gadget Guard curved glasses (both insanely priced around $50) , and although they fit nicely, the touch sensitivity becomes inconsistent, making those screen just a source of frustration. I got rid of them within hrs. Hopefully this company figured out a solution

Yeah I am debating on getting it. I've been through 4 glass screen protectors already though and I'm hesitant to spend more at this point. Right now I am running Illumishield maximum coverage aquashield with a commuter and its working out very well.
I ordered one and will be here tomorrow. My concern is how do you remove it if you want to replace it? That glue they use looks like Bondic. Bondic is a UV activated glue that hardens under the UV light and is incredibly strong. Before i apply it i need to find out what it is and if i can be easily removed if it breaks or gets all scratched up.

Very good point. Thanks for the info on the glue. According to the mfg, it can be removed., but the referenced scraping method would destroy the LCD glass.
"How can Bondic® be removed from smooth surfaces?
We recommend the use of scrapers. Giving the Bondic® a short, sharp shove from the side dislodges it cleanly from the base. Any remnants left behind can be easily removed with conventional cleaners."
They also mention using chemical agents. I've used acetone in the past to dislodge epoxy off my eyeglasses lenses, and it worked very well. It may be worth contacting them and ask more info.

When they mention scrapers, my assumption would be that they are referring to plastic tools/scrapers (think drywall spackle applicator). If this is the case, then you would need to be Hercules to damage Gorilla Glass with a plastic utensil.
If you have ever removed paint over spray from glass windows, then you'll understand my thinking. The paints sticks like glue, but one solid push in a single direction removes it fully with no residue.

After reading this, I may return mine when I get it tomorrow. Not sure I want to risk not being able to cleanly remove it. I usually keep my phones for about a year and then sell them and I don't want to not be able to easily remove this thing.

Just to clarify, I don't think that it's anywhere near this difficult. I was just responding to the post I quoted who was talking about damaging their screen because the company mentioned scrapers. The protector and all is residue is supposed to be able to be removed with nothing but force, and "household cleaners" if any residue remains.
Mine arrived today. Haven't opened it. Debating whether I want to apply it since my IQ Shield full body is already perfectly applied. May wait for more feedback or I might get really bored and just apply it.

Do you have bubbles under the protection? Do you see the protection or is your shield really invisible ?
For my first two devices I used Brando anti-glare protectors (shop.brando.com.hk) and was very happy. It was a couple of years ago though, so they may have changed since.
But whatever you do, don't buy Proporta!
Their protectors are too small for the screen of the TyTN, and when (on their recommendation) you return the protector they will not send you a replacement. And when you tell them how unhappy you are with the situation they just stop answering your emails.

If applied properly & very carefully, then there are no bubbles. I have none, and it's transparent.
I use exim screen protector. I can definitely recommend it to anyone.
i agree with tiatrop,
i use the exim SPUC screen protectors on all my devices.
you can peel them off and reapply them,
the instruction says you can even wash them, but i've yet to try it.
and any bubbles when putting them on, can easily be pushed out.
I agree with bamse, I've been using Brando for years, I did try another brand on my C500 a couple of years back, they didn't come up to scratch. I'm using on my herm, no probs no bubble (you need to spend a little time carefully applying).
Boxwave has some good screen protectors. I'm using their crystal clear on my 8525 now and had the anti-glare on my HP iPAQ.

I washed mine once. It fell on the carpet so you can imagine the things that got stuck there! Damaged the corner a little bit but it was completely reapplyable, and I managed to get all the dust out with scotch-tape. Hence my recommendation.
Wow, thank you all for you recommendations. I definitely check them out.
But is there a way to apply a SP, without having bubbles? What you mean exactly with "carefuly"?
Do you use credit cards for that? I red that credit cards for appling are an evil thing.
I guess it's tall order to say make a youtube tutorial, haha...

I actually had this on my previous 8525 that I had to send back for warranty replacement. It is a booger to put on..took me a good half hour to do it right. The cutout pcs are not all exactly perfect but fit good enough. I really like it. It held up very well, gave the phone a slick glossy finish and made for good traction when I would set my phone down on my center console in my truck.(previously if I tried that it would slide(actually fly) off the vinyl covered console if I hit the brakes too hard or turned a corner too fast... with the Shield on there it never slipped. I am going to order another one now for this warranty replacement as well..just been waiting to make sure this device didnt fail before installing another shield!

I've been using screen protectors for some time now on my previous and current PDA's and phones; HP has a nice system of protectors that have grids on the removable side to assist in visually getting the best fit. Would never use my 8525 without one... and yes, anything like an old credit card, cut to the right size, will work to get air bubbles out.
But thanks to this thread, I've now ordered the Bodyshield; if it's all it's claims to be, AND with a lifetime guarantee, it should be worth the $24.95.

Tempered glass screen protectors. Anyone using them? I have put one on my iphone 5s and was really impressed. Found a no name brand and it worked well for $6. I can't pay alot for them. Goes against that sale instinct in me!
So it made me look for one for the mega. I had a cheap glare free plastic one on temporarily which was fine, but I wanted a glass one. Hard to find. Here's what I bought. $12.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111253895644?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Put it on last nite. I used the hinged method, with an extra piece of tape on the free side for precise placement. It went on beautifully, but I thought I was sloppy cause I saw a fingerprint after application, and I was really mad at myself. But I was so meticulous, I couldn't believe it.
The more I worked with it, I saw it wasn't a fingerprint, but a portion of adhesion that didn't stick the size of a fingerprint. I worked it more, maybe the warmth of my fingers finally got it to adhere. So I was not sloppy afterall. If you have this problem, just give it a little time. I almost was tempted to lift it and clean, resisted the thought, and I was rewarded for my patience. It's a perfect application 8 hours later.

I have applied 2. the iphone was perfect, the mega ended up with 1 tiny speck of dust on the top- off the screen, in the black perimeter. It only bothers me cause I know it's there. lol. If you use the hinged method, with that extra piece on the free end, and use a tape roll on the screen (tape rolled around your finger with the sticky side out) after you clean it, and right before you peel stage 1 on the protector do it again, you should be good. There are some pretty inexpensive glass ones now available. No way would I try it with a $30 one. I paid $12 for the mega one and that was big $$ for me!! lol
I also hear if you put your screen saver on after someone showers in the steamy bathroom it cuts down on all the dust! (tip from G) I never resorted to this, wanting to be comfortable at a table that has been cleaned well.
you need to use the hinge method, with some tape on the side of the sceen protector/phone before you peel of the bottom part, but theres another trick i learned which i practice and lets me put a screen protector 100% perfect...
you do all this in the bathroom, before you do tho, you turn on the shower with hot water, and let the room get steamy.. picks up all the flying arrownd dust, and your screen protector will be 100% perfect.
try it on, thank me later.
I have one of the screen protectors, i can say they are awesome, they make your screen feel so buttery smooth, I bought the Glass.m one and i havent got any finger print mark or oil, or even dust applying it.

Absolutely!!! If you mess up the application, you chalk it up to experience. Although if you are careful, check out videos on youtube, and follow the tips here, you should be good for a terrific application! Just be mindful of dust. That's your worst enemy and will create bubbles. So dust proof all you can. I work on my kitchen table that has been dusted and windexed. dust off all my tools and use tape rolls. roll the tape around your finger and pretend you are removing dog hair. But it is invisible dust. Then go for it! I never tried the shower trick. I hear it really helps. but again, make sure the surface you are working on is really clean. Good luck!
I found mine on ebay. Amazon has them, but charges shipping.

Tepshine / PThink Glass Protector - Good!
Got this one for my i527 a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICZ4GE6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Went on very easily once I removed the hard shell case I had on the phone. Comes with moistened cleaning cloth and microfiber cleaning cloth and I didn't need to mess with hinging or scotch tape or anything else. Used both cloths to clean the screen and quickly applied the screen protector and NO TRAPPED DUST.
It's only been a few days, but no bubbles, no slipping, and everything seems to work with no lag. Even hovering still works.
-Z
just got mine from overseas for a whooping penny. Only problem is the button is sunk down a little bit. guess ill get use to it. putting it on is easy. you can lay it on and slip it around before you push on the middle to get it to set. mine came out perfect
Just be careful on where you get it, I got my first one and the glass got messed up from the cleaning I did and when I tried to get the lint hair out of the adhesive part of the screen it broke. Now on to my second glass (privacy shade) and the only defect is that it is a little too thick for touch response but it serves it's purpose (touch still responsive at times)

i have it on my Mega ( i9205 ) and i must say it saves the life of the screen. dropped it several times and only thing that breaks is the temperred glas so i ordered several times on ebay and apply goes easy, just clean the screen and see if the bottom and the top fits then drop it on the screen
it will apply by it self in a minute
then just gently push it till all ends are applied.
and to be sure use a hair dryer over it.
got my 3rd tempered glass now since 26-05-2014 and still no scratches/burst of something weird its just perfect.

to make sure it sticks good on the screen because it has a sticking layer and since its glass it.
thats how i did mine, took me not even 10 minutes to apply and its perfect applied
the official oneplus 5 screen protector is about 2mm too small and doesn't fix the phone all the way around. It's supposed to be "3D" so it would hug the screen all the way around, but ends up pushing up on all sides because of the shape of it causing bubbles. I've attached several pictures showing that the application of it is perfectly centered in the pictures of the home and ear speakers. there's also a black border all around the screen protector on all the non-screen parts which ens up actually cutting off a few pixels around the entire screen..... you can see it completely cuts off a '0' in the recorder app, and the app drawer's scroll bar is almost completely cut off as well....
I've contacted OnePlus support and they declined my rma claim stating the below:
Hello ___,
Thank you for contacting OnePlus. My name is Sydney and I am a Repair, Replacement and Return Specialist and we have received the RMA you had created for replacement.

Thanks for the heads-up man! I was about to order it.
I installed mine yesterday. I also have the black parts cutting off the pixels on the sides..
I ordered a Nillkin today, hoping it will fit better.
Totally agree. Watched this video by @niijonodhg , saw it in his thread and it turned me off it totally! £18 for that crap? Bit disgraceful tbh. Purchased this Orzly one instead. Had it for my op3, and another video by the same guy said it was better then last year and he preferred it then the 3d glass one!
This was already known about and was shown in the video below...
It showed similar problems to their previous ones, namely when you're on the bootloader screen the protector cuts off some of the text because it's protruding onto the actual display area. He also showed the same problem as you @Nomelas, whereby the edges were not adhering properly.
I've got the Orzly protector (none of the cases I've ordered have arrived yet sadly) and it seems great (it does show fingerprints a little and there's a tiny bit of rainbowing), it's 2.5D rather than 3D, it also has a black border on it but it doesn't protrude onto the screen like the official one it also seems to be the favoured protector on the forums at the moment, here's a review of that one.
@niijonodhg (aka Absolutely Savage on YouTube) made these and is apparently doing a series of reviews, all very helpful
Here's the obligatory Orzly official application and test video:
They also show how well it works with a couple of the official cases.
I bought the original tgsp from OP.
I would not recommend that one.
Hard to apply without air on the sides/corners.(No dust)
And covers way too much of the screen!
Still trying to get my money back. As it is way too much for such a bad design.
If I keep the phone I will try to find a good replacement.
I honesly not sure why they are still selling them. Like most people in this thread already say. Orzly's TGSP does a much better job.
I have used same protector on OP3T and already installed to OP5 also.
Cutting couple pixels is said on product information. Im assuming you all readed it before ordering so you should know that. Also i dont have any bubbles, nice and clean installation without any issues so bubbles are user installation fault.
Comparing this to Orzly:
OP:
+ Adhesive on full screen part: its harder to install but really clear visiblity on screen, no gap between tgsp and screen and no oil slicks.
+ Really great oleophotic coating
+- Cutting off less than mm from both sides of screen. Its told on Oneplus website whem ordering (product information). Its so small that it dont bother me almost at all.
Orzly:
+ Dont cut as much as OP's own.
- Glue/adhesive only on edges which will cause small gap between screen and tgsp=not so clear visiblity as it would be if adhesive would been full screen. Also big possiblity for oil slicks. Also possiblity to pull of easier.
- Bad oleophotic coating

I got it in the bundle with the case, ear buds and 150mm extra dash cable (but no extra adapter....) and while it was basically free, I'm still pissed at the false advertising.... why would they sell a defective product? its a clear rip off. They probably made them all and by then it was too late so now they're trying to get rid of them, greasy imo.....
If it wasn't for this one (major) flaw, I'd say it would have been an amazing screen protector. I'll probably still use it until it scratches or breaks then get that orzly one.
EDIT: also, I'm pretty positive that disclaimer was NOT there when I ordered my phone on the 20th:
Disclaimer
To ensure the curved screen protector offers optimal protection while maintaining the sleek look of the OnePlus 5, the colored border extends over the edges of the display by approximately 0.9 mm.

yeah I guess I lack the Doctor Strange ability to bend reality... my bad.
On another note, it's funny how a 3rd party can make a better fitting screen protector. I'll definitely be getting the Orzly.
And for the price, you'd think OnePlus would put a bit more R&D into it, like using a ruler.

Funny how you are crying how defective product is and when you are asked what makes product defective you answer with some stupid comments. For me it looks now like its defective because you messed installation and you didnt read disclaimer when you ordered.
You are free to buy what ever you want. My opinion is Orzly isnt better that OP's own, your opinion is that it is better and im fine with that.

I have seen all of videos but still dont see anything which would show about defective product. Maybe your piece was. Mine is just perfect without any bubbles.
It isnt design flaw, it was meaned to be like that because you wouldnt get full adhesive without it. It they would leave that area clear it would been look ugly because of halo and people would start cry. They choosed to not use "glue on sides" method as they even know that method is bad and screen wouldnt be as clear as without protector or with full adhesive screen protectors.

Well if i would need to choose between these:
1. Full adhesive: Drawback it will cut off your screen about 0,3mm per side but you have really clear view of your screen and no gap.
2. Side glues: No screen cut off, but gap between screen snd tgsp and because of that not that clear view either.
I would definetely choose option 1. They didnt have options if they wanted full adhesive.
Cut-off is so small that it wont even bother me and many other user as almost all apps has gapps on side before real content shows. Ofcourse i would like without cut-off but it dont bother me and i still prefer OP's official because of full adhesive and best oleophotic coating i have seen.
BTW, Orzly for OP3/3T had cut-off too. It was only like 0.1mm from both sides but it still was cut-off. And im almost sure they still have it, especially when OP5 is littlebit smaller than 3T was.

It's more like 0.9mm on EACH side which is very significant actually if you consider 401 ppi on the screen meaning you get almost 30 pixels cut off from each line from left to right. Factor in the height of 1920 pixels you lose 57,600 total pixels on your phone. Now, take into account there's a total of 2,073,600 pixels on the screen, you actually lose close to 3% of your total screen behind unnecessary screen protector bezels.
Hell, I'd gladly take 0.1mm over 0.9mm
Fought with oneplus and they now approved my claim for a replacement. Seems they at least acknowledge the issue but I doubt a replacement will solve anything. We'll see when I get it I guess.

good for you. I am in the process of fighting with them too because after my flawless installation, there began to accumulate dust under where the proximity sensor is. They told me its my fault because there was dust underneath before i installed it. wtf.
i have never dealt with such inept customer "support" I tweeted, chatted, emailed and called them today and supposedly a supervisor is reviewing my claim.
I have not taken it off yet, because despite its flaws, it adheres to (almost) the whole screen, and while i have orzly waiting, i cant stand the rainbow oil slick due to the lack of complete adhesive.

That also is happening to me. I'm going to hold onto the replacement and I bought the orzly to try out. We'll see which is better. Either way I'll have one extra of each after replacing this one.
You're struggles are over! I have been looking for the best screen protector for edge devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the best! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing it. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you will be an expert in no time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaNK59tMsBQ
Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important as a beginner that you make sure the surface is level (Use a physical bubble level and have business cards nearby) and leave the alignment bars (Plastic L Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the table he had, therefor as you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was use to this sort of thing happening, and quickly corrected the issue. I find the alignment bars to get in my way when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did use these alignment bars, think of them as training wheels. Just be sure when you manually align the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their 3 bumps and that they are not lifting your screen. Make sure your surface is level otherwise the adhesive could pour over the edges of the phone. Business cards help immensely, along with not working on installation in the middle of a 2 piece table.

Before I continue please keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of here. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also get an added bonus... The UV light can be used by women or given to women as a gift to dry their nails. Oh you're a guy and have no use for it? Ever had a car windshield chip?
You can get a repair kit and use the UV light to dry the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry the paint, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your wedding ring finger... Just kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to find the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch screen sensitivity issues with the Otterbox Defender due to the built in plastic screen protector and dealing with dirt and easy scratches, I went back to my Note 4. Then the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an edge phone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the phone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer have a screen protector that for some silly reason only had glue around the edges which made the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that most times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity issues and it feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features actually work.
Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Commuter, defenders do not work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie battery case and test it out. If you have any cases that work well, please let me know so I can get a compatibility list going
Confirmed List
Commuter
Symmetry
UAG
https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
Q: Can I put a case on after installation?
A: No you need to wait 24 hours for curing.
Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: You will need to wait 1 hour.
Q: How long should I set aside time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around 1 hour plus the 1 hour wait after before you can use your phone
Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't find anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked one and ended up having to purchase another one, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:
I can confirm that it works great with uag cases. Also I found a video where they tested 50 cases with Whitestone dome:

Sorry can't edit previous post.
Install done.....successful! The biggest part is applying the epoxy, it is very thin, almost like water. Slowly loosening the cap on the epoxy tube and leveling the puddle is crucial to success. So do it slowly and use cards to level the puddle before releasing the remainder of the ep oxy. Then make sure it flows to the entire screen and you are golden. This video with tips is golden.

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you
P.S. We apologize for not being able to directly link our Facebook page. We have just started using xda to communicate with the public and we cannot post external links at this moment.

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Absolutely brilliant idea with the screen protector I must say! I really appreciate the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I do typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure as they get in my way for aligning below the camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector up while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you have a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone will want to have a physical bubble level nearby to complete the task or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to keep an eye on the edges for any possible lifting.
@Whitestone Dome Glass
Will there be replacement screen sets be available in the future? So glass, loca glue, alcohol pads and microfiber cloth? Since the curing light and rigg are re-useable it could means easy replacement at much lower cost.

Since the replacement kit is only 5$ cheaper than a new kit (on amazon) it might be easier to buy a complete kit and sell the uv light to a woman who wants to use it for her nails.
The replacement kit should not cost more than about 10$, imho

To anyone wanting to know the Mophie S8 and S8+ cases work great with this screen protector! I'll make a review video soon for it. The top of the case separates and you slide your phone in (no more plopping it in and out of a case hoping it doesn't touch the screen protector) then you slide the top down and it fits perfect. It's a 3300 MAH battery pack and from 25% with the phone on, it got me to 90% while I was using the phone. It also feels like it matches with the curvature of the phone. I recommend trying it out in store, as it is a bit heavier, but no where near as heavy as a ZeroLemon 10,000 MAH battery I had for the Note 4. Attached are some screenshots with the case and screen protector. Oh the speaker redirect to front is really nice too!
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:
Hi
I've bought one, but I mixed two align bars and now I don't know which align bar is for top and which is for the bottom. They are a little different. as you can see in pictures one has a small sticker attached to it at 45 degree angle while in the other one it is attached straight.
can anyone help to place these correctly?
If fitting this goes horribly wrong, or if the protector gets damaged in an accident later, how easy is it to remove it again after the glue has cured and will any residue be left on the screen?

Look at this video, this will answer your questions, it's very clear
It does seem to stick very well to your phone so that's good, I hate the usual (crappy) tempered glass protectors that only have glue on the sides... 1 "wrong" case and *pop* there it goes :/

do you mind sharing how's the alignment of your protector? mine doesn't seems to fit along with the case
So I dropped my 3a XL, screen was fine but digitizer spiderwebbed. I've replaced it, but I'm having trouble getting any adhesive to keep the screen stuck in the body. Guessing there's just enough bend to the body now that it can't sit flat, not sure. Long and the short of it, I'm tired of wasting money on adhesive that doesn't work, but I'd still like to not have a trashy phone. I'm a minimal case person, I bought this hoping the plastic would make it so I didn't need a case, but wouldn't you know it this is the first phone I've dropped, and on the first drop it did this. So what I'm hoping is that there is a minimal case out there that has *just enough* lip that it covers the outer edge of the screen. I've got a Spigen thin-fit, and it's a nice enough case, but it doesn't cover the edge of the screen, so it's not going to help hold it in any.
Any suggestions?
I have Spigen tough armor and this one below, about half the bulk of the spigen:

Stop being a cheapskate and buy better adhesive. You're using low quality adhesive which is why it isn't sticking(or you're not following the directions properly)
You could try rhinoshield. They have just a bumper case. I opted for the whole case.

I mean, I got the OEM stuff, so... But whatever, thank you for your contribution.
* Sorry if that comes off as snarky, just irritated with the whole thing. Have a $400 phone that I've spent almost $120 trying to get repaired and running out of patience. Just need something to hold it together until I sort out what I want to replace it with. If you have any suggestions of 'better' adhesive, I'm open.
Found the below in random search lol.
Not sure but maybe combo of glue and strips??
That's one reason why I have insurance thru TMobile
It's 9per month I think and 99 for new phone.
So you spending money either way lol but less hassle
-----------
The tape isn't strong enough.
What I used for a Google pixel XL screen replacement is Tesa 61395 tape which is really strong and b7000 liquid glue to fill in the weak spots or gaps where there is no tape I could put in due to curved areas like corners

Thanks. I saw the B7000 but worried that it'll be too rigid and crack. I love in Florida and my phone sits kind of close to a cent, so heating & cooling is pretty extreme.
I didn't think of using it as a filler for flexible tape, though... Will think on it.

You have no clue which adhesive the OP is using let alone know if he's a "cheapskate" or not.
If you can't say something nice (or useful) maybe say nothing at all?
We're all friends here, trying to be more skillful with our tinkering. If you want to suggest a good adhesive, I'm sure he'd love to hear it.

It's clear his adhesive was cheap as it isn't sticking(or he isn't applying it properly) also if you read the thread op said he didn't want to use stronger adhesive because he's afraid it would be too ridged and break which is a load imo.
Maybe you should contribute and follow your own words of advice also if you read the thread someone already suggested better adhesive so there is no reason to suggest other ones but if I must 3m generally has good adhesive and b-7010 tape is another good go to, all stronger than the OEM crap he was buying.
