Invisible defender. It's a Korean product based on the language the instructions are written in. It has wings that wrap and the edge to the back of the phone.
Someone on XDA did this with a Galaxy tablet screen protector on the Note 7. Same idea here with the sides.
Screen is smooth and no edge lifting, no air gaps, not $45 like the white Stone.

Hmm interesting concept, might have to try this out eventually. I have a feeling thought that once you put a case on those bubbles on the edges might come back as seen in that video.
The corners, of course, don't wrap around, and therefore are susceptible to lifting.
Can confirm it's been a few hours. No bubbles. If you swap cases frequently it might be an issue. Essentially the edges are tucked in the back of the phone and then held in place by the case sides and back.
Not anti-shock protector after all :/
Have this being delivered today from Amazon. Looks promising

Looks cool. Two quick questions for you though. How does it feel... like smooth? Also I have a skin on the back that covers all the back part. Would this protector work work that? Like how far do the wings go back? Thanks.
I just installed this on my s8+. Best screen protector I have used on the phone so far. The wrap around not only keeps it from coming up on the edges, but also helps to apply by acting like handles. It sits shy of the corners to lessen the chance of the corners being lifted by a case. The feel is smooth, but it does have a slight orange peel finish. Went on perfectly and seems to hold very well. Does show fingerprints much more than a naked screen.
Looks promising, I just grabbed one from Amazon. Thanks for sharing.

Wings just go very slight. If you have a skin on the back I would tuck the wings under the skin. It might even help hold things in place even better. Screen is super smooth.
Got these off Amazon. I've had this screen protector on my phone for 2 days now, in my opinion I'm not really liking it. It's smooth as glass which I like, but the clarity is not clear as I would like it to be. I don't like that smudgy/ matte look. More noticeable on whites, like scrolling through YouTube or web browser. I came from the Spigen wet install film. It had more clarity but out of my 5 cases, I was only able to use one case because the other cases made the edges of the film peel. Installation was straight forward, no lint or bubbles. I'll stick with it for now till I find something better.

That's interesting. I've used matte protectors and don't think those one is matte. It isn't clear as glass but I think it has pretty good clarity.
Guys is it this one Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Screen Protector, Invisible Defender [Full Coverage][2-Pack] Edge to Edge Curved Side Coverage Guaranteed [Case Compatible] Super Thin HD Clearness Film for Samsung Galaxy S8+ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06ZXQZH9W/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_QZOezbH4QRB03
How come only 1 review?
I would not recommend this protector. I installed it and it looked great, no air bubbles at all. However, as soon as I put my Supcase on the phone all four corners started to peel away from the screen. A day later the top of the screen protector near the sensors and camera also peeled away to a point where they are actually laying on top of the case's lip. I bought it because it said "case friendly" but after my experience with the Supcase I can definitely say this is not the case... Having the corners wrap around as well and maybe decreasing the height would make it work a bit better in my opinion.

Are you sure you are using these screen protectors? Mine is shy of reaching the corners, and I actually have the supcase and it is fine. I have had no issues with lifting at all. The screen protector does not reach the corners so it never interferes with the case i use. Perhaps you installed it a bit too high or low on the screen.

That is the one I have, but from the US amazon store. They are new so I am guessing that is why there is only one review. The US store has more reviews.
Just ordered off Ringke's official eBay store. Won't be here until next week but I'll update with how it turns out. Thanks
I know one user has said they dont like the screen protector due to clarity lacking.
However can anyone else comment on the clarity of this screen protector?
I want to purchase this but dont want any degradation of image quality from my screen.
Any input is appreciated, thank you.
Just received and applied mine.
I prefer glass, always have. I've read review after review of the current generation of glass and haven't felt like any would please me. I'm a bit picky, so much so I often order more than 1 of any protector in case I miss a speck of dust or something goes wrong.
This wrap around one is actually pretty nice. Installation is pretty much all about alignment and cleanliness. I guess I've installed enough that I got both the first attempt. It went on easy enough, plenty of bubbles that I was able to work out easily enough. Wrapping the edges went smoothly and the finished result is fairly impressive.
The feel is glass like. It's not glass but it's not rubbery nor is there any apparent orange peel effect. It's smooth and responsive and I don't notice any issues with clarity. Honestly looking at the device I can't tell there's a protector on it until I look at the edges. The edges (top and bottom) are there, but you have to look for them. Time will tell if they collect dust or peel, however they stick well and the whole thing is thin enough you barely feel where protector ends.
I have the official thin case, it went on without issue. The wrap around is nice in there is no difference between no protect tion and this protector. Together I feel the device is protected from scratches, but not drops. The S8+ (and it's little brother) are notoriously prone to breaking if you believe drop tests, so I really didn't expect this setup to be all protecting.
As for the back where it wraps around, well it's pretty much as I described the top. You'll feel where the edge is but it would only be distracted ting to the most anal retentive types.
Overall I would give it a try. 2 for $11 isn't asking that much.
Forget this crap i test it....now i found liquid glaz and its amazing! i never see a bether screen protector!

9+H harder than sapphire.... lol ok there.
I like the Tudia Omnix case it is has 2 parts to the case, a built in screen protector and the rubber case. I am able to keep the pre installed screen protector that came with my phone on and still use this case. It's not bulky either. If I'm going to work or gym I'll put on the tudia case, it keeps my phone clean & safe, if I want to show off my phone I'll put on the Karbon or ebony wood. It's actually not that inconvenient to switch cases and my phone stays cleaner this way, less germs the better.
To install your phone on this case: take my advice it's kind confusing.
Lay the screen protector screen down, (the bottom of the screen protector has some kind of plastic hooks that attach the screen protector to the rubber protective case) slide your phone screen down in the bottom part & gently let the top of your phone fall into the screen protector, the left side will fall in but you'll have you to snap it in on the right. (the phone snaps in very lightly its easy to snap in or out)
NOW to put the rubber on the phone put the Top on first then kinda lift and pull the bottom ON
To take it off lift the lift off the bottom of the case by the headphone jack side, peel the other bottom side first then pull off, it's too hard to take the case off from the top.
Make sure not to make the mistake of putting the phone into the screen protector backwards I did that and scuffed the silver antenna line on my phone.
Do you have any images of the case actually on your phone? Posting images of whats on Amazon isn't particularly useful!

Is the protector tempered glass?
Can you take some pics of the phone in the case?
I want that.

Do you get any rainbow effect on the screen when pressing on the screen protector? if you don't see try shining a light onto the phone.
I bought this same case for my OP5, as the Tudia case for my OP3 was the best. This case is beautiful and feels great in my hand, but I went back to my OtterBox because 1.) it was impossible to pull down anywhere on the status bar with my Tudia case, and 2.) I would get random pops when tapping the screen. I'm quite disappointed, because this is a beautiful and natural-feeling case, and it fits with my Orzly tempered-glass protector.

Im not sure I only use the case if I don't feel like being carful with my phone. Like I live in Las Vegas and if I go to the strip it's pretty wild your drinking, weeds legal, it's packed, your tipsy and everything else is going on. When I decide to put the tudia case on, I'm more trying to keep the phone safe. The case is nice but I wouldn't like this case on while I'm home or even running casual errands, I don't like the way the screen protector feels compared to the one that came pre installed. I bet it has the rainbow effect but i haven't tried it in the day Time yet though, I probably does cause the screen protector is thin plastic.

Thanks for the review. If you manage to share some pictures with the case on the phone it would be great!
I'm seriously considering the 8.1 when it launches in the next week or two, here in Germany. I'm pretty concerned about being able to get a decent screen protector, though -- I know a lot of recent phones have pretty significant beveling on the display, and it makes it hard to get a glass protector that won't wind up with an ugly gap around the edges.
Does anybody who got their hands on this early use a glass protector? If so, how does the design work? Does it cover the whole display without leaving a gap?

Well I am not very sure of the tempered glass available right now for 8.1 in India that are good so i am just using a flexible fibre glass screen protector and it leaves no air gaps ,covers the screen almost fully but not full,waiting for a decent one in India too,you can probably check out on gadgetsheilds or Ali express there are some good ones

When you say "almost fully", do you mean that there is a part of the actual *display* that is not covered? One of the brands of glass cover we got for my kids' phones doesn't quite reach the edge, so when the display is on, a few pixels on either side aren't covered, which means that there is a line through the content shown on screen, from the edge of the protector. It looks terrible and is really distracting to me. Is your protector like that, or does it just not quite reach the edges of the front glass (which is fine)?

Here is a photo
Don't worry about the lines on top they are just smudge ,rubbed it to clean on my shirt,no scratches
I really appreciate you taking the time to post the photo! I can see that it comes within a millimeter or two of the case, which is good, but my concern is that *when the screen is on*, a few pixels might fall outside the protector. Also, I can see a millimeter or two around the edges where the protector is not adhered to the screen (presumably, because the glass is beveled slightly away from it), especially in the lower-left.
So: if the part of the protector that's bonded with the front glass, actually covers the entire screen, and none of the lit pixels are obscured by the "air gap", or outside the protector entirely, that's fine, but I know bezels are getting smaller all the time and a lot of phones really want to have an "edge to edge" display, and the 8.1 certainly follows that trend. I'm looking at your photo next to this one from GSMArena and it looks like some of the active screen could well fall under the beveled edges, and thus make it impossible to apply a flat protector without either "cutting off" part of the screen, or leaving it under an air-gap.
I know this is a pretty minor thing but it nags at me when it happens. My current phone has a totally flat display area, but the screen protector needs to be just a little wider, and inevitably hangs off over the beveled bit slightly, which leaves an obvious air-gap no matter how you place it. If parts of the actual picture were under that section, I think it would drive me a little crazy.

Yes you are correct the screen is curved and that's why it's very hard to find a tempered glass in India ,as I said there are some available on AliExpress which covers them fully.i had the same problem with nokia7 plus ultimately had to be with the fibre glass option here in my country.
Jeeze. I really wish I could just buy an Android One phone, high-performance CPU, at least 4GB RAM, with a *flat glass front* and a *tough plastic* or *all metal* back (not glass!). Basically I want them to make a modernized Nexus 5, I guess. Oh well, I'll keep shopping...

No it's not a joke, I just cannot work out how to embed the pics.
I was in Thailand and needed a replacement screen protector, couldn't find one for Nokia 8.1, they came up with this solution by using an iPhone XS Max one, and I'm happy with the result. In fact it is a better fit than the Nillkin one I was originally using.
I have pics but cannot post links as I have under 10 posts. Just wanted to share as there are not many options available for this one.

Hope to make this thread as a collection of reviews and Q&A for various screen protectors. Noticed several reviews for some before the device was even released. Hopefully this thread helps others and a way for you to share your experiences.
OMOTON 4-pack
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXZP7PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pros:
Covers the whole display (left to right)
No halo or rainbow effect
Leaves enough gap for a case
CHEAP (includes 4)
Cons:
Peeling the dust remove sticker was a pain.
Doesn't cover class between camera and earpiece
Other thoughts:
the glass is quite thin. Less than .33mm which is the norm. Probably will make it not so durable when drops and possibly easier to crack. But nice as it doesnt feel sharp or large on the display
This glass is a precise fit, so be careful on installation. Good thing if you mess up, there are additional ones. .5mm left/right or up/down probably will cause a halo affect for that edge
The results:
https://youtu.be/Zg1I4-MNCXk?t=125
Thanks for getting this started, tlxxxsracer! I'm going to mimic your format to the best of my ability. I'm going to include a Comments line as I don't have images or videos to link to.
Yocktec Screen Protector
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QTZ9XPP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: I gave this a 3 star rating. It's acceptable as a "until I get a better one" protector but not one I'd consider for long term.
Pro's:
Feels like decent quality glass for the price (strength, clarity, etc.)
Simple installation
Well gapped for a case
Con's:
Bad edge lifting/poor contact
Not particularly cheap given it's just one in the box
Somewhat difficult to line up given how the glass it cut for the front camera/speaker.
UniqueMe Screen Protector (3 Pack)
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QKCFS9N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: I opened this and immediately filed for a return. I laid one of the 3 pack onto my screen and it was too large to work with most cases, and part of the edge was going to go over the slight curve on the edge of the glass. Not worth even trying.
Pro's:
N/A, didn't even try
Con's:
Too large, will almost certainly lift off at the edges
L K Screen Protector (3 Pack)
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NM4MRFQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: What's currently on my phone. First to install had two large air bubbles because I just kind of threw it on there as I'm used to doing with most tempered glass protectors, second I went slower and it's good. There is some slight lifting on the edge in a couple of spots, and small air bubbles in the regions that the protector covers but aren't part of the actual visible screen. I'm going to stick with this until some of the bigger name brands start releasing stuff, namely second versions as the first go is rarely great, and keep the third of the pack as a backup.
Pro's:
Cheap
Quality is good. Feels strong, clarity is nice, etc.
Good coverage of screen while still allowing enough of a gap for cases to fit.
Con's:
Installation isn't as easy as I'm used to. I don't think it's a "designed to be installed how we show" you kind of thing, just a bit finicky. (Note: Not actually difficult, just go slow and follow the video they link you to in the box)
Related to above, I feel like their instructions will inevitably waste at least one protector for most users as there will be dust and/or air bubbles collected this way. You're not likely going to get it perfect on your first go. (Note: Which is why a lot of people will read this and think, "well that's why they include 3, dummy" which is a fair point, but I wanted to bring it up)
Very slight edge lift
Glass it cut so between camera and speaker there is a large exposed area (Note: doesn't bother me personally, but I know some people don't like that)
Supershieldz 3 Pack
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q1KCT3M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: Didn't install. Looks very similar to the L K tempered glass in size, but based on Caebron's comments below I figure it's not removing the L K I have on to try.
Space held for Supershieldz commentary
I've got a 3 Pack of these coming in the mail tomorrow. I know a lot of people like Supershieldz but I haven't liked a single one I've gotten. I got them mostly to see if I just got bad ones in the past or if everyone's just crazy. Unlikely to install it given that the L K's nice, but I'll comment on them.

Never bought this brand before but it worked perfectly on the first one. The 3a XL's display seems to be much flatter than the 2xl and 3xl which were a nightmare with putting on glass screen protectors. So happy to not have one with a black border around it again!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:

I just installed these and will be returning them to Amazon for a refund. The pack includes two shield, and while I was able to work out any trapped airbubbles by pushing them towards the edge of the screen, and any remaining small bubbles disappeared over night, they always leave an airbubble at one or more of the edges. It looks as if you could slide a fingernail underneath - which you can't so it's just this long elongated airbubble that makes it look as if it isn't sticking at the edge of the screen.
Ordered myself a Zagg this time - I will report back on how it works.
I also used the Omotion 4 pack,,,it covers about the same as most and fingerprints are not as noticeable as they are on some others.
3 pack I picked up. super smooth bonded pretty well. Thick so should be decent protection. though it barely covers left and right of actual screen area. not sure how much wider it could go because of the curved edges of display.

I got the LK as an interim. They are certainly not bad, but I'd like something with a more complete coverage and also less sharp and thick edges. For my OnePlus 6 I had protectors from ******* that were decent...but not perfect either. I hope we'll get good one for the Pixel soon...
Also bought a Zagg. The guy at Best buy installed incorrectly. I ordered a replacement since it has a lifetime warranty. Will report back once I get the replacement installed properly.
Super surprised how well they installed, yes they have the black lining all around, full adhesive. No issues installing. Perfect alignment without a tray ( no screen leak on either sides). Good price and no loss of screen sensitivity.
Definitely recommended
Case friendly too
TekRoot 4 pack from ebay
Pros: perfect cut, resist smudges well, easy to apply, full glue, work well with a case, dirt cheap.
Cons; Halo around the border due to glue, maybe not enough of it, or bad quality.. other than that, for $2.25 a piece in package of 4 with shipping included, I can live with the borders not completely adhering to the screen.
I was happy with the CASEVASN screen protectors. Not sure why it's reviewed so poorly.

I don't like the notch on the OMOTON and prefer the cutouts. It has basically zero room for error, but I eventually got it lined up perfectly with the sticky tab hinges, and it has plenty of space on the sides for a case. No bubbles or distortion.
Got my replacement Zagg, the screen feels really nice and there are NO fingerprints at all. But there's no room for error on the install and the thing that's meant to help line it up sucks, way too easy for the protector to get underneath it. Because of the huge gaps on the sides, it's almost impossible to install properly. I'd stick with a full adhesive black boarder protector, definitely not worth $40.
Edit: after just a few minutes of use, the phone is covered with fingerprints. Again, would not recommend.

Looks like a ton of fake reviews on Amazon, doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. Have any pictures of it installed? I don't understand how it could have black boarder and be case friendly. I'm looking for something not case friendly, doesn't seem to be many options

Am with you on that, I just purchase and test, I don't trust most Amazon reviews cause like you mentioned plenty of fakeness, but yes it has the black borders and case friendly, once am home I will upload pics. My biggest surprise is the no screen leak on the sides, **** they did a good job with the size..
Just received my omoton 4 pack. It doesn't cover the whole screen as the OP reviewed. Must be a new batch as it was backordered for a few days.
Here are the pictures of the screen protector installed
Black border
Full adhesive
Perfect alignment
No screen leak on the sides

Just ordered, looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Update: just received. Much easier to install than the Zagg due to the edges getting much closer to the edges of the phone. The cutouts are so precise you can line the whole thing up based on them. It might cut off a few pixels on the sides, but overall I'm very impressed. Fingerprint resistance seems to be MUCH better than the Zagg. Don't waste $40, buy this!
Update 2: have noticed this screen protector actually hurts screen quality pretty noticeably. Not sure why, but in some apps (especially apps with lots of white), it's VERY annoying
I also recommend the pulen. fit is perfect and I don't notice any issues with transparency or responsiveness.
I picked a 3-pack of LK, non-bordered, up. Took a little more time than I usually do lining everything up with the included guide stickers. Most other phones the cutouts are precise enough for me to eyeball, but since this one just has a huge cutout at the top for the camera all the way to the speaker, not so easy to do. Went on perfectly and so far haven't had any issues with the edges of the glass, and I don't have any blue discoloring at the edge. Protector is *just* the right size for the screen, so thinking the extra time taken to line things up served me well.
Can't take pictures because the only other device I have at the moment is a Huawei Mediapad M5 running PHH-treble and the camera doesn't work on it for whatever reason.

Any pictures?
I cant find a good case for ROG 3 on flipkart of Amazon. Which case are you guys using? where did you buy it from??
I am using Lighting Armor case as I need to use the air trigger. If you do not care for the function of air triggers (dual & slide), can get IMAK case from aliexpress.
I'm also using the lighting armour , I like it ok it drains power but I still like it
I am using the average tpu case that is available for rog 3, i had to make cut out for the side mounted type c ports though
I'm using this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001345047036.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5d6e4c4d4DwYCq
It's not perfect, but provides enough all around protection, the cutouts are in place.
The included tempered glass screen protector is of good quality, but the black border covers a few pixels on the sides.
It's pretty cheap, I can recommend buying it to protect your ROG Phone 3 - as I said, it's not perfect, but good enough.
Using this one with a tempered glass in the front and a silicon film in the back
I have ordered this IMAK transparent black TPU case with extra corner shock-proofing along with these IMAK clear soft hydrogel films for front & back protection.
Hopefully shipment arriving to me by early next month.
Used to use the lighting armor case until the slippery uncovered aluminium side caused me to drop the phone yesterday, now the phone has a dent on the top right corner of the frame. Lighting armor has the best look of all the cases out there. Now using Zshow case which should prevent it from hitting the screen flat down if I ever drop it again. I'm lucky the phone didn't fall face down with the lighting armor case which would have guaranteed a cracked screen.
I have the imak tpu case too but it cause the tempered glass to lift.
Besides the tempered glass being lifted issue, what's your experience/ feedback regarding your IMAK TPU case (is it with extra corner protection)?
Imak case is quite loose around the air triggers, power button, volume button and side port. Top 4 corner airbags are the problems as they can be depressed quite easily and this cause the screen protector to lift up. You will know when you hold the phone on your right hand with your palm resting with the bottom right corner for support, and this can cause the screen protector to lift.
I'm getting the hydrogel film screen protectors - Hoping that screen lift is not an issue.....
What's your experience or opinion regarding the general damage/ drop protection with this case?
Quality, overall fitting & feel?
It will protect if dropping on the corners as well as face down. However dropping on the back might be a problem because the camera lens are protuting out (although the case cover the camera lens). Placing the phone on the table will also result in wobbly phone when using.

Quality, would say it is better than those generic cheap tpu case (which has worse fit than imak), feel wise, it is slippery on the back.
I just received this: Foluu ROG Phone 3 Case through Amazon. £6.71. To hold it without the phone it doesn't feel great and whilst over the standard case it comes with its bulkier I feel so much safer knowing my camera wont get scratched when I put the phone down. It also raises of the front screen by a minuet amount so there is a bump as you move your finger about. I'd rather that than a nasty scratch though so happy with it.
Air trigger holes and extra power connector cut out too as well as on the back a nice design

It covers the side? The picture on amazon looks like it is an open side design. I don't see slapping that case will provide a good grip.

I am using Asus Original Screen Protector without antibacterial coating. The antibacterial protector is not available in my country. Great protector, no blocking of edge unlike the cheap china protector which has thick black borders and block the edges of the display.

Thanks for this, I did think about getting this over.
I'm using the magnetic flip case which is great, but no front lip so don't drop the thing like I did, broke my display as the screen protector didn't quite cover all of it and a tiny stone hit the outer edge.
Not the end though as I've bought another, and will get it repaired under insurance consider it a lesson learned.

This was with the rog case which in all honesty shouldn't come with it.
This is the protector, don't bother with it, I've another coming that has smooth edges, looks decent so will see.
Turns out the one I've ordered might be the same Asus sells.

FEEDBACK
Took about 5 weeks to arrive (from China).
This IMAK case is good build quality and fit over all, could have been a bit more snug - the extra corner padding does not make it look slick, and I am not sure if it is worth it on balance.
There is a 2 mm lip all around the front panel to help with screen protection.
Cut-outs are spot on - including for air-triggers/ 3 mics/ heat vent/ side USB ports. No cut-out for SIM-tray though but it's better this way.
Camera module is fairly well protected.
No issues with air-trigger related squeeze gestures.
The Hydrogel clear gel screen protector had a ?extra notch cut-out just left of the front camera (?? why) but otherwise the rest of the dimensions were spot on. It came as a set of x2 in one pack, which was a nice surprise. Included a helpful set of instructions/ link to video.
I preferred it to be short by about 1 mm all around the edges to minimise the risk of "lift" when the case is compressed in pockets/ when using the squeeze gestures etc.
The touch feel is smooth and has a good response. Visibility through this screen film is fine; no glare issues. I prefer these type of gel screen protectors to glass.
Has anyone come across a case that doesn't need to be removed when connecting to the accessories (eg Twinview, Mobile Desktop Dock)?
