So I'm getting my S8 today but I still don't have anythong for its protection.
1.) What is the best CLEAR case for this device that gives it basic (slim but not too slim)? I also want to have that raised lip for the fingerprint sensor in the back.
2.) For screen protectors, is Temperd Glass recommended for curved devices? If so, which one is best?
I want to have the total cost for these at a minimal as I don't feel like spnding a lot just for the these basic accessories.
Thanks for the help!
Well I wasted almost 30 bucks on screen protectors and the only thing I can say is DO NOT buy any 3D tempered glass that is supposed to cover whole front. The main problem here is the adhesive which is located only on edges of the protector. There is air between screen and protector, which sometimes decreases touch responsivity, forcing you to apply some pressure in certain areas so that the input is registered. Also, most of these 3D glass protectors collide with many cases, so they simply don't work. Personally, just go for some decent case that will secure your device from drop, like RhinoShield or Spigen Neo Hybrid. If you care about design and don't want to lose it, go for something clear and thin/ultra thin
I bought a Baseus case from eBay and lobe it so much. So thin and light and matches perfectly. They are in Amazon too.
Also works with my Darth Vader skin that I have on the back so it still shows that off.

So are you saying not to go with any screen protector at all? Does this apply to the usual "flimsy" screen protectors as well?
Definitely do not buy any harted glass. I have ordered 3D TPU film that has adhesive on whole surface it will ship on thursday so I will tell ya if it works or not

I strongly thinking of going back to no protector. I tried glass and the White Stone dome one was great except the glue on the side kept chipping out and looked terrible. I've got a film protector on now from Best Buy Canada and again it feels so crappy compared to the naked screen. If I remove it I'll still be careful but I do have insurance just in case. I already don't use a case (only a skin) for the very same reason...that I want to enjoy the feel and look of this beauty, not cover to up to protect it for someone else in the future.

I did that with my HTC 10 for a year for the same reason and it has no scratches or micro-abrasions at all. I think it's pretty safe to assume the S8 will be no different. As for going caseless... I wouldn't recommend that for a device mainly made of glass lol. Check out the Supcase review I just posted and try it out if you like. If not, return it or at least you'd have something to put on your phone when you're going somewhere or doing something that may cause you to drop it.
Buy yourself genuine samsung screen protector tpu version and genuine samsung light case.....or silicon case genuine.... all goes 100% together.
@Hunteres
But then you oay more than what you should be paying? And that there are others that are even of higher quality than Samsung? Pass.

Right, I don't have a doubt regarding their genuineness. It's just that there are other screen protectors like the Spigen Neo Flex that costs $8.99 for a 2-pack as well. Same goes for the clear cases, there are others that are significantly cheaper than the Samsung. So I'm just wondering how do these fare with the official Samsung ones. Any thoughts?

Well, yeah, but I want to know how the Spigen compares to the Ringke. Maybe it is better in terms of other departments and the like.
im using the Ringke fusin clear case.
i absoultly love it, its offer all the feature's im looking at case (thin, clear and lift on top and bottom of the screen)
im gonna order the Spigen liquid Crystal as well. as the reviews says its very good case. (remindes the Ringke features)
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I think it a great case. I had the same one on my S7 Edge for a year.

I just finished installing the Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protector. Initial thoughts so far is it's the best on the market hands down. Make sure you check for case compatibility before you purchase it though. The price is a little steep at $45 but well worth it IMO. The adhesive is under the entire glass and uses a UV to cure. Clarity and touch performance seem to be spot on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Z...+galaxy+s8&dpPl=1&dpID=51W7ozwV4HL&ref=plSrch

Me too, in Midnight Black color! Very elegant and nice.
Haven't understand yet if the clear back will become yellow or not in time...
About the screen protection, I'm a tempered glass lover. Since I've been using them I've saved all my old phones.
I've tried some curved glasses on my S8, but finally the Zagg Sapphire Curve is available in Europe and I've ordered one!
I know, it's not glass, but it's supposed to be harder then glass, and got now it's the cheapest solution for having a protection this good that adheres to all the device's screen.
And I've seen that it's case friendly and that not that bad in touchscreen sensitivity!
Will let you know

The Spigen ultra hybrid on my S7 Edge stayed pretty much clear the year I had it. I'm using a Armorsuit Military screen protector. It's not glass but it will do for now. It's really difficult to find a tempered glass protector for a curved screen. It seems like all if them are junk. I wait and let others experiment until there is one that really works without issues.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXTRWBL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For clear case, my recommendation would be the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear or the Otterbox Symmetry Clear. The otterbox is slightly chunkier but not much.
As for a screen protector I've tried the Samsung official one and the Spigen Neo Flex.
The Samsung one is a dry application and therefore is extremely difficult to get on right without dust spots. I tried it on 3 different phones and didn't get either of them right, even with the dust removal sticker.
The Spigen Neo Flex is a wet application which is far better cause when it dries out it leaves no dust spots or air bubbles. But imo the corners aren't a perfect fit for most cases. Again I tried a few and even with Spigen cases the corners lifted on all of them. A little trimming of the corners with a scalpel solved this. This protector isn't as clear looking as the Samsung dry film but is of the "military material type" and so self heals with any minor dings and scratches. I'd trim the corners a little (follow the contour of the corner and trim off a mm or two) before applying this for best adhesion on all corners for a case. It def has a slightly different feel to screen but at rhe moment I think this is the best solution of at the moment to protect out precious S8 screens.
Hope this helps.

I've been reading/watching many different reviews regarding tempered glass for OnePlus 5 here and in other websites.
Currently, it seems that there isn't a decent full-covered tempered glass .
Should I just order Otterbox Achiever and just retain the stock screen protector that OnePlus 5 comes with until a decent full-covered tempered glass comes out? I know that case and screen protector protect different parts of the phone but I don't want my future phone to be defenseless.
I'm willing to listen to your suggestions.
Thank you!
Tempered glass is great, rellay protected many of my phones. Currently I have a Orzly tempered glass on my Oneplus 5, I also bought an otterbox but it raises the glass. It sucks that one has to choose between otterbox protection and tempered glass protection.

I also want a tempered glass but the reviews on Orzly are bad. I've read that it's only good at the start but as hours or days pass by, dust will get under it or the glue will start to come off, etc. There were also reports of rainbow effect.
What's your experience?

I have some rainbow effect. The biggest problem is that it is not compatible with the otterbox. The otterbox raises the orzly tempered glass. Does anyone know of a tempered glass that works with otterbox? I guess some do but that is the kind which has black frames that cover some of the screen.

I think there's no otterbox-compatible full-cover tempered glass right now. That's why I'm thinking of dropping the idea of tempered glass for now and just buy otterbox.
I'll just change case when there's a good tempered glass.

I've gone the route of the Otterbox and the Nilkin TGP which isn't ideal as it's not a full screen protection (but is full adhesion with zero rainbow) BUT it covers the majority and the Otterbox will do the rest.

If it is alright, can you give us pictures of your OP5?
I have an Otterbox and temper glass. I watched a YouTube video comparing the temper glass with a lot of cases and validated that it fit. I feel as though his review was solid and honest and I've been happy with the combination and would recommend it.
However, I do see microdots in full sun exposure but it's not enough for me to complain about. It doesn't pick up finger prints or smears either. I do see from time to time an "oil spill" effect but it goes away after being out of my warm pocket for a few moments. Afterall, then adhesive is only around the edges so this oil effect is expected to me.
I put my protector on as straight as I could however, I could have done better (does come as a two pack) Thus, maybe once a week I do have to reseat the case because it does appear as though the case grabs on to the glass only by the volume rocker, which already is the most flimsy part of the case. Again, not a big deal for the added protection that I want and it rarely happens. Besides, you should be cleaning your case once a week anyways so there.
Hopefully that's helpful. Here's the YouTube link-
https://youtu.be/Ei4woZ7ZRJU
I like to note that the Spigen case supposedly works too however, I haven't broke down and bought one yet.
If anything, not to hijack, I wouldn't buy an Otterbox. It's too filmsy around the volume rocker. It needs a harder TPU shell.

Sadly only other photo taking device I have is my PS Vita so quality isn't great but you can clearly see the edges etc, fortunately the protection of the Otterbox gives about a 2mm lip as well so likelyhood of hitting the unprotected parts is slim.

Yeah understandable, it's annoying that there seems to be no perfect solution to this, I've heard the RhinoShield Crash Guard is a possible assuming you also put a skin on the back to protect that.
I'm happy with the solution I have as I feel it gives the best possible protection right now, although appreciate it's not ideal for media consumption. Good luck in finding what suits you best :good:

Yes, I agree. It's kind of disappointing that it's been months since the release of OP5 and there are still no decent tgsp.
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!

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.

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.

What case are you using with your GOBUKEE?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074SJV133/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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
I purchased these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078W2LZM6?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd
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.

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.
Hi,
I ordered one cover and screen protector and they are a bit disappointing. The cover is a bit slippery and the tempered glass screen protector has sharp/hard edges. So anyone can recommend me better tpu cover and full screen protector? Those titles with 3D 5D 6D tempered protector are confusing and not clear at all to me.
I see the ones from Nillkin are good? Current screen protector I've applied today showed the rainbow effect, what does it mean exactly?
After buying quite a few cases for this phone, this is the best case I've come across. It's not the most protective against drops, but it is a really great case.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/283241738671
The screen protector I'm currently using is a tpu style much like this one. I could never find a glass one that fit correctly.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/233013046340
The "D" related to tempered glass has to do with the hardness of the glass. The higher the number the harder the glass. I've never really trusted those numbers when it comes to the $1.99 protectors on eBay rated as a 9D. I've used a lot of them, but didn't really think they were really 9Ds.
Edit: The "D" I was referring to was actually the "H" score that is sometimes given with glass protectors. Sorry for the confusion.

It does the job. Covers the entire screen. Feels a bit rubbery. Your finger doesn't glide as smoothly as on a glass protector, but it's not a horrible experience. Covers and protects the entire screen. That's good enough for me.
You're right. The "D" is for the rounded edges. I was thinking of the "H" that is given with the hardness score. My bad.

Does the screen protector also covers the black borders around the screen? I once had screen protector that didn't covered the black borders, not even the screen, more like 95% so it got the rainbow effect. It was very clear and annoying when watching content or browsing.
The H is for hardness, yes. The D is pretty overused, 2.5D, 3D, 5D, 6D and so on. Atm rebought the screen protectors I was happy with and also from Nillkin. So gotta find out which is fine and if not, the tpu version you linked.
I think I'll stick with tpu case I got it included when I bought the phone. I just doesn't understand why it got fuzzy or foggy(?).

Yep. It covers the screen from edge to edge. You just have to be really careful putting it on. Perfectly clear. No rainbow effect at all.
Ha ha. Yeah, the included tpu case was clear for about three weeks for me. Turned milky white after that. I wash it with warm, soapy water every once in a while, but it fogs up again within a few weeks.

I have that one too. It's really great for protection, but the raised edges of the case get in the way if you are using gestures in stead of the navigation buttons.

Pretty sure this is the best TPU case around

just curios, but is there enough difference in these to warrant the +$22 premium in price???
TPU case
I have many cases as well, but this one Leather "Porsche Design" Type Case is by far my favorite. Very premium feeling with a nice protective lip, but not high enough to hinder the navigation gestures. Tempered glass screen protector fit just fine with no issues(don't use one anymore, but I did when it was new...), and the leather has held up quite nicely. Excellent grip from this case. It's kind of hard to see in some of the pics, but it does have the Porsche Design logo stamped into the center panel.

Honestly, there isn't anything proving the premium. But it's just very thicc and hard.

Well, I just received that one and honestly, it's not very good.
Feels cheap, and there's very little front lip for protection.
The pictures on that listing are misleading.
I got this one as well:

and it's notably better.

It's just very rough on the hands though

I bought a couple of cases. They're all nice but too thick so i went back to the free one.

Your'e free to like whatever case you like, but what aspect of the case do you find "rough"?
The texture? or you don't like the 'ridges'?

Are these tempered glass screen protectors full adhesive or just adhesive on the sides?
Just fitted a supershieldz from Amazon USA. Fit was good but a little disappointed that it was dot matrix design. Its not very noticeable but would have preferred a full adhesive glass one. Does one exist?
Gf bought me a standstone rubber case and it's great. Similar thickness to the original, but in black sandstone.
Waiting on delivery of my new 23 Ultra (should be here tomorrow) I've also got the "Spigen Tough Armor Case" coming today.
Wanted to know what's the best screen protector to use with this case? i did buy the official Samsung film too as it was cheap. But ideally I'd like something more robust like glass protector. But iv'e heard using the Spigen Tough Armor Case it may affect the screen protect and push it off after a while.
Any recommendation from people who have the Spigen Tough Armor Case and a good glass protector?
Also looking for a film type proctor for the back. As I have another galaxy phone, and it has a spigeon case on it, but the back of the phone has so many scuff marks on it due to the case rubbing on the back over the years. Ideally, ant to avoid this on the ultra.
i'm in the UK by the way.
I have been using this one (IMBZBK)
for months and it's still flawless. Don't buy Whitestone dome or Amfilm. They always start to peel on the edges. Plus Amfilm is using a very weak glue that doesnt last pass a day without the glass coming off.

Did you search for imbzbk
glass are pretty similar no matter the brand. My bro and I got s22/s23 and we tested few glass protector, and they all are +/- same size and same glue strength.
Some case fit, but the moment it has an impact, it will deform to the glass and lift it.
we tested otterbox, caseology and spigen. It all touches the glass.
However, yesterday I tried a new one, since I was tire to have bubble, and so far so good, it very far from the glass edge. Tocol brand case.
Not the perfect case, since it's slippery, the transparent back is not so transparent and you can not feel the vol/power button .
But this is the one, that Ill keep until the end , pretty sure. Which will be 5-6 years.

After finding one, the YouTube videos seem ok but the Amazon reviews are bad, seems the same with most protectors .
