Before settling on my case i bought an earlier case which you can find on sites like ebay and amazon.
it says its a xt720 milestone 2 hybrid case. ..which seems impossible (even the pics showed a milestone 2), but as it was about £5 it was worth a shot.. i contacted the seller and asked him. he confirmed it was for the xt720 and amazon have the wrong pic up.
When it arrived guess what... it was for the milestone 2. lol#
And sites that sell this particular product still have the same title and no knowledge of the difference.
yup, i encountered quite a bunch of those during my shopping for a XT720 case, and none of those were real
only the Otterbox ruber case ($50) case and the SGP case ($20)

Which case did you end up getting? I have the Zagg Invisishield for the XT720 on mine, but it's starting to look beat up.
Heard negative things about both Zagg (in general) and Otterbox (at least XT720 otterbox) so I avoided those. Heard only good things from the folks here about the SGP one so I ordered that. Should be here any day now....
Besides for being the cheapest, it looks best imo and it's got the best feedback from users so getting it was an easy choice.

I saw a pic of the screen cover, which promises anti-glare and many other screen enhancements. Truth?
I have the SGP case. Haven't tried the free screen cover yet because i still have this one on which promised anti glare and everything.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0042VQ8DG/ref=oss_product
(folix xt720- amazon- incase the link doesn't work)
The anti glare effect is very small-if at all. However it keeps clean very well and doesn't attract as much stubborn finger prints
I really like my SGP case. the camera and emdia button are harder to press but nothign you can;t get used to
id stay away from zagg also, i bought a screen protector from them and had to send it back after a couple weeks, there to gel like and get scuffed to easily. i bought an otter box and couldnt be happier, it definitely saved my phones life many times. and i got mine for $17 after tax from cinci bell with there 50 percent off sale. there like 30 at otterbox prolly cheaper somewhere else

i didn't install the screen protector that came with the SGP case, because i already have another clear screen protector installed
and i wont remove it until it gets really scratched
saving the SGP screen protector for the future
SGP is Way Better!
The SGP is way better than the Otterbox.
The SGP is slim fitting, my buddy has an otterbox on his.
It looks like a big puffy retard helmet.
You have to be a douchebag to buy the otterbox.
Hi,
So I purchased a set of dry application clear screen protectors for my Nexus 7 and have it installed pretty much perfectly. However, it's not totally transparent as there are like spots that show similar to the rainbow effect on many screen protectors (shown below). NVM, can't post pictures or links with under 10 posts.
I know SPG makes good screen protectors but I don't really want to shell out $20 for 2 screen protectors.
Can you guys recommend a cheap screen protector or seller, preferably under $3 (most likely from eBay) that doesn't have this problem? It just annoys me every time I see it...

I bought a Nillkin TPU case and it came with I presume a Nillkin screen protector. With the TPU case on, you cannot tell that there is a screen protector on the device. It looks and feels exactly like the stock glass.
Where did you get it from?

Sorry, I meant to say, ebay, this one, from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330853557200
Rearth Ringbo Clear Plus.
Japanese material and S.Korean made.
It feels like glass and its like nothings there. Very fingerprint resistant as well.
13 bucks for a 2 pack.
Rearthusa.com
I've always used SGP but Rearth seems just as good (if not better) and cheaper as well. SGP and Rearth protectors are regarded as one of the best.
You really can't go wrong with any Korean/Japanese screen protectors.

i got this screen protector for my nexus , perfect fit, easy install, inexpensive. Only downside is finger prints. At first i was going to get the spigen ultra crystal but 21.99 for 1 protector is too much. With the Tech Armor you get 3 for 7.95.

I also got the tech armor and I gotta agree its good, I usually use Spigen products. If you lay it down just right the screen protector is almost completely invisible. It feels good to the touch but yes it does attract a bit of finger prints.
I was going through this thread to see what screen protectors and cases you all people use as a kind of recommendation for my next case and screen protector. But all you people are scattered in different posts discussing things.
So lets make things easy for everyone.
Post your current setup (the past one as well if you want) and your view about that. And the links and some photos would be loved for sure. :good:

And a thanks if this thread helps you get a case or skin or screen protector in future :laugh:

The oem carbon fiber case paired with the oem curved screen protector is absolutely perfect. Can't even feel the seam between the glass and case. I hate cases in general, but I adore this setup.
Using the orzly multifunction wallet with the official tgsp.
Works a treat.

How's the day to day usage with bumper case? Is it worth the money? Any comparison with other cases you have used?
The main reason for getting the case was to showcase the metal back of the op3. And it does that beautifully.
The quality is great, however its a bit loose on the sides (by no means it will pop out, needs considerable effort) due to which sometimes the alert slider does not work, you have to press and move it. Is not noticeable unless you pull at the sides.
Does not add any thickness overall apart from the upper and the lower lip on the back. However the phone feels a bit broader in hand.
Overall happy, although pricey for 1700 inr ordered via their site 5$ discount covered the shipping.
I also have the sandstone and spigen tough armor.

Buy the gadgetshieldz screen protector. It is also film type one and durable too. Also it gives you the option of full phone film.
I have ordered one because my onePlus3 has many scratches one the surface, but the protector has reduced the display quality. Is there any screen protector that does not reduce the display quality? I have removed the protector, because for me it is better with scratches on the display than having reduced contrast by protector.
By the way, i never had scratches on any Phone display. The resistance to scratches seems to be very bad on this phone.

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho
Any you can recommend about $20 and under?
First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.
I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.
I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..
I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.
I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

yes
I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.
Looked at a lot of videos online and this seem to be the best case for drop test. Plus tech 21 screen protector. I've had this phone for a little over a week. Me and my girlfriend both have the Note 8. We also have samsung care protection.
So I guess you can say we are able to be more careless. It's a 100 dollar fee for repair deduction. Anyway I've droped mine 3Xs and GF 6Xs all on hard concrete and other hard flooring. All at pocket and ear drop distance. I am 6ft myself and gf 5ft. No scratching or cracks.
Anyone else have same results? If anyone reading this decides to get both tech 21 case and screen protector. Go on ebay way cheaper. Tmobile tried charging me $100+ Tax for both smh. Got exact both on ebay for $35.
Case is sleek and can barely tell it's on. Bunch of different versions to choose from. Check out drop test here.
Case isn't as sleek as the UAG plasma but I liked that video too, so I ended up getting one. Didn't realize they were cheaper on flabby $20 vs. $34 on "sale" from best buy

Yeah haven't tried that 1 yet. My biggest concern is drop proof. UAG wins on sleekness, haven't really checked that 1 for drop test. Ebay got them used for $15 for tech21 case. Normally $40-50 new. Screen protector for $20 new.
There's more videos on youtube this one for S8 and S8+ but same case. I use to only buy temper glass. After this video and my own experiences glad I switched. Barely can tell the film is on and no bubbles.

How does the film feel compared to glass?
I've tried film before and they feel so much less smooth that it's pretty annoying.
A lot of glass protectors don't conduct well on the curved displays because the adhesive is only on the sides though

It's just right in my opinion. Film use to suck worse that's for sure. Temper glass is better at fingerprint smudges and scratches. The film is better at smoothness/sleek look and drop resistance. My gf would put her keys with phone a lot of the time. Of course that caused scratches. But that was to screen protector only. Reason I know is because she got it wet and had to take screen protector off. No scratching to screen.
The film does have scratch resistance as well. If you do decide to get film I'd suggest only this brand because they actually back it's protection claims. This Note 8 is made out of all glass so drops are definitely more serious to worry about.
Lady putting on screen film watch few times. It's of s8 but same concept. Some can't fellow directions so screwed up film. Like I said watch few times and you will be fine.
I have both the Tech21 Evo Tactical and the UAG Plasma. I am not using a screen protector or tempered glass. I like the Tech21 case, but it doesn't have the big front "lip" that the UAG case does. Does anyone have any experience with the Tech 21? Will it protect the screen when dropped?

The drop test videos earlier posts that I linked. The guy didn't have screen protector on it and screen was fine. But just to be safe I wouldn't risk it. $20 definitely worth protecting a thousand dollar phone. Just watch install video few times and you should be fine. Can barely tell it's on to be honest.
Towards the end with install video with lady she shows you what it looks like. You can barely tell it's on. Install in a clean environment! Use stickers for dust! Well lighting area. Install screen protector 1st.

Like I said before myself 3Xs and GF 6Xs. We've droped a few more times ontop of it. You could be right at the same time. But I've seen other videos same case.
