Is the included clear case tempered glass screen protector friendly, or does it lift it up from corners? Any recommendations for screen protector? And if that included one is no good, also recommendation for clear case is appreciated.
im using the MOFI full screen tempered glass screen protector with the factory case without issue.... just too bad the MOFi looks like a oild slick in the middle of the screen otherwise it would be perfect
I bought a Spigen case which is, as usual, nice and protective.
For the tempered glass, i bought a Force Glass ($$$) which is really nice to touch without fingers trails, but finally it's ****. Like all the S8/S9 (not dome glass) it's only glued with the edges and not very well, so it'll become dirty fast . And if you look at it under a bright sun you don't see anything.
I don't recommend to buy this "way too expansive" Force glass! I regret it! 2$ glass will do a better job.
Am I not right in thinking this phone comes with a screen protector already on it.? Mine looks like it does, obv don't want to try and take it off in case it is one lol... Came with a clear case too
Cheap tempered glass + clear case (Huawei case)
I used the clear case which came with the phone as for tempered glass I used a cheap (£1.99) from eBay.
The tempered glass covers the screen almost perfect. It isn't edge to edge, but it is wide as the screen.
The glass hasn't got a good oleophobic coating, but is better than the plastic one and has adhesive on entire surface. (i would add a photo but I've got no clue how?
Hi all, is there any spigen neo hybrid alternative for Huawei P20 Pro?
Hi, any issues getting the tempered glass on with the Spigen case? Thanks

I've applied Zabra tempered glass (Amazon purchase) without any bubbles but after applying the Huawei clear case, edges came out, disabling my screen touch features.
Highly not recommended to buy this "Zabra full glue 9H tempered glass screen protector"
On of the best tempered glass for P20 PRO is Nillkin the hall series..
I have try Nillkin amazing H (3mm cover real screen leave 2mm at the edges case friendly) Nillkin amazing H+ (2,6mm cover real screen leave 2mm at the edges case friendly best clarity) & Nillkin CP-MAX 3D (3mm Full Cover edge to edge full adhesive full glue)
They are all fit perfect with excellent fit & clarity
No bubbles, no rainbow effect, no halo effect, no dot matrix, no fingerprints
I prefer CP-MAX 3D for full protection with original clear silicone case or ipaky case
I have bought the Spigen tempered glass screen protector and Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear case recently
those side adhesive screen protectors suck!!!
whitestone is loca based and because of that full adhesive and it will be released in a week or so on amazon. great feel to the proctector, just like the original screen, no 3d dot matrix, no problems with touch sensitivity, almost no fingerprints and if they are gone with one wipe and so on.
i will get it asap since it's doing fantastic on my note 8 for over 9 months now.
i got the spigen rugged armour and i love it. Feels great in your hands. its like velvety soft. Using this with the stock screen protector, which i feel is sufficient for me
i just wish spigen released the ultra hybrid clear case with a built in kickstand for this phone.
I've never used a protector on my previous phones but opted for the Spigen and think it's great. Had it in five days now, doesn't get too messy from fingerprints and only issue with haloing was my fault, had to take it off a couple times as I want happy with how I put it on. Used it in direct sunlight and was amazed, after one Samsung and two Sony's I can actually read my phone outside"

I bought the Spigen Slim Armor case ( £15 ) and Spigen Tempered Glass ( about £8 ) and am very happy with both. I moved from Otterbox a few years ago when I couldn't see a decent case that I liked. I've had 4 Spigen cases for various phones so far and have never been let down to date
ESR products for me fits perfectly
It looks like there are not much good options for this phone (compared to my last one), I have ordered the spigen ultra hybrid (transparent) & tempered glass combo.
I'll post photos with the result
Do some regions not get an included case? I just bought this device yesterday in Canada and there was no case with it.
Spigen crystal clear case and Nillkin Amazing H+ for tempered screen. Trust me, this glass protector is the only one I have found to not retain fingerprints and to stick perfectly and evenly on the 20 pro. If you correctly align it with the edges of the screen, there will be no air pocket whatsoever. It's impressive.
Anybody know the brand of this screen protector and where I can get one? I'm most interested because, well, it's full screen and not just adhesive around the edge. But also the guy mentioned it works with the case I'm going to be using ( UAG ) .

Any particular tempered glass screen protector on ebay better than another? Thanks
I had skinomi tempered glass, it was awesome, very good against fingerprints
Thanks. Was it easy to apply without bubbles?
Every glass screen protector is easy to apply without bubbles. I've tried 5 different ones.
Carefully place it down, align it with something, i used a small screwdriver, then just push it down in the middle with your finger.
The only tricky part is to clean your screen good before applying. Any so small dust particle will be seen if not removed.

Yes, no bubbles at all
I have the spigen 9H tempered glass protector and it's awesome, no finger-steps, no scratches, zero bubbles, ultra resistant and it's work great ( no lag ) with the note's pen! You have lots of review at youtube.
Only have a negative point, the price, but it's ok, it's only one time you buy them
I've used 2 tech armor glass protectors on different phones, both worked perfectly.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111225255839?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Been using one of these for about ten months. The anti finger print was still good. There were some tiny scratches, but only seen at the right angle and the right lightning (but only when the screen was turned off !)
But i work in a forging factory, so that was expected, because of the steel dust. And i use my phone 24/7.
I even dropped it two times face down from my hand while standing. There was just a dent on the plastic rim of the phone.
So in my experience a very very good protector for a small price. And you get all you need for the installation, even a nice home button sticker.
I bought two more, just for the sake of it.
Nillkin H tempered glass, or if you want 2.5D rounded edges glass like the note 4 then Nillkin H+
I'm using the normal H (not 2.5D) and it's amazing. It actually feels better than original glass, very soft touch + no scratches so far.
I'm recommending.
I hate both, there's no other way to look at that, I like my phone as it is, but well scratches will come with time, that's a fact too, so I was wondering which to get. I mean if I go for a Tempered Screen Protector, could that save the display from shattering in case of an accidental drop? Or shall I be using a Protective Case? I know that the corners of a phone are the most important parts, that's where protection should be present, so am I wrong to guess that a tempered glass protector can't protect the corners? I am thinking from a phone drop point of view, not normal scratches, for normal scratches I think I don't need a tempered glass screen protector, a normal one shall do.
So what shall I aim for, a case or the other?
If it's a case then which one? I love the UAG cases for the protection it provides, but hate them for their industrial design, but I won't buy something which won't have a good amount of lip around the screen to protect it from drops and kinds. I need something simple and neat looking, low profile and lightweight and the material should be half rugged so that it won't slip out from my palms.
Thanks in advance.
Tempered glass will NOT save the screen from every drop. If it's face impact then yes most likely will save but if impact is on back of phone and no case or very slim case will Crack LCD it self. Wife's note had a super slim tpu case and LCD shattered but both glass were fine.
i always go with glass screen protector and thin tpu jelly type case. doesn't protect if like an otterbox but will be able to handle any of the minor mishaps i might have. i am very careful and treat my phones like gold so it hasn't failed me so far.
i realize there are plenty of things that setup will not protect your phone for but i can not stand to add bulk to any phone no matter how thin it starts out

Yep, you are right.
I have decided to get a Nillkin 9H tempered protector and a Spigen Neo Hybrid, I guess these will do more than fine for protection.

I don't like because the nilkin one gets fingerprints too easy.
Gonna look into others and change this one
Best one I've used so far is the xtremeguard spartan. Not as bad as others as far as smudge and prints. All though, they changed the design lately, and sold them, was hoping for them to send me the previous design.
I have the Metropolis and Plasma UAG cases and I want to find a good screen protector that doesn't come up at the edges.
Not fussed on tempered glass as the cases are good enough for me, I just want a screen protector to stop any little scratches appearing on the screen from use.
I've tried the Spigen liquid protector and its just a little bit too long, fine on the edges but not in length
I had the same prob with 3 different wet apply protectors.
Only thing i got to work was a full cover TP and had to pull the top and bottom of the case over the glass. Worked very well.
Whitestone dome works on my uag plasma and uag monarch.
I am considering picking up a OnePlus 5 since they have the student discount right now and am wondering, what is the recommended tempered glass screen protector and case to protect the phone.
I love Nillkin tempered glass screen protectors for the OnePlus One, Nexus 5, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but it seems they really dropped the ball on the OnePlus 5. The screen protector doesn't even cover the whole screen! Then there's Orzly which covers the screen but the quality itself is not as great. So who does that leave then? What would you recommend?
I also don't know what case to choose. I was thinking of picking up the Nillkin Super Frosted Shield Matte case, but I wanna see what other alternatives XDA likes.
To be honest, the Nillkin is probably the best at the moment, it's got full face adhesion unlike a lot of the others which only have adhesive on the black borders, which means the main screen hovers slightly above the phone's screen which gives a rainbow effect when you use it. It's also compatible with pretty much every case because it's not pushing up against them like a lot of the others. The only thing about it is you can see dust around it as it doesn't reach the edges but this doesn't affect it's use and can be cleaned with a good wipe (I recommend these).
Spigen cases are nice but seem to be the worst for lifting the edges of any larger screen protector (including the official one).
The official screen protector from OnePlus is not compatible with the Otterbox case so remember that when you make your choice, both companies have stated this.
As for cases my personal favourite is the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I just love the way it looks.
I agree with @djsubterrain. Go for the Nillkin.
But if you want a tgsp which covers all of the screen, I recommend you this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-automatic-adsorption-tempered-glass-t3660494
This tgsp is full adhesive, not only on the black borders. It fits perfectly with the sandstone case from OnePlus.
If you go with glass screen protector, don't get any of the ones that go edge to edge, they all suffer from the same problems such as dust getting underneath and the rainbow effect. As the others mentioned, the Nillkin is your best bet for glass.
As for cases, Spigen always makes good high quality cases and they have a couple of models available, I just recently got the Ultra Hybrid Clear case. I know clear cases tend to turn yellowish with time, but I like to show off my Dbrand skins.
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.

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?
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.

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.
