seen another thread but was impossible to know which one people really liked gonna make it a voting thread if i missed any products send me a pm and ill add them in i tried iloome and i loved the feel of the protector just hate that its not cut to fit precisely has to be placed perfectly

Many kinds of glass screen protectors are made in china and they are different,do not choose the cheaper one, they are worse than normal protectors

Currently I'm using the iLoome Flex 8H
amazon dotcom/gp/product/B00F4AT5Q6/[/url]
With the Spigen Slim Armor
amazon dotcom/gp/product/B00ELMXZSC/
They work well together but in the event of a crash I have no idea the protection they will give. However I can say they feel very nice together. The iLoome feels like real glass, the only thing that has bothered me even a little about the iLoome is the height... It's thin but you can feel the edges they are sharp when you rub your finger across them.. not cut your finger sharp but just there's glass there sharp. As for the case my only issue is the rubber around the screen doesn't come but a half a mm off the glass so if you dropped it... well it'd probably be about like this

But I'm not gonna test it. Time will tell.

BTW that iLoome 8H is currently only $17 where it's normally $30.
When I put mine on twice I had it off center/ over the rounded edge and I was able to lift it with tape and recenter it with no bubbles or dust getting under. Love it!

Currently using Mime Ghost Glass with a Ballistic SG1233-A065 Shell Gel
Screen coverage between the 2 is near perfect (Ballistic face lip and screen coverage). Very small space betweeen the two but good enough for me with my rough trade and lifestyle. Quick pic below, Note I installed SP slightly off center
Mime Customer Service is awesome. Packaging is great and you get a large screen protector like sticky prep pad to pull all dust etc.. off screen before Glass SP install.
I have had mime in the past for my HTCone and a I purchased one for my son alsnce the SP install failed when installing on my HTCone, was my very first time installing (My faullt rushing) and mime replaced it free of charge no questions asked. I also cracked the SP at work and mime replaced the SP at 40-50% off original price. Dont remember if it was 40 or 50% percent but fair deal either way in my opinion. Before I traded in my One for the LG G2 I had the Mime on for 2 months with zero issues. Mime was the Top SP of choice over in the HTCone forum for durability, feel, looks and Customer service, keep in mind the HTCone was/is a very hot phone with many users participating in the HTCONE XDA accessory forums speaking highly of mime. I am another vouching for Mime, great Glass SP for sure.
I also have the LG WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad and it works awesome charging with the Ballistic case on. I know a bit off topic but these three items are top notch additions to the G2 in my opinion!! :good:

I've mentioned this in a few other threads as well, but you need to be dead accurate to install the iloome, which is extremely hard. I have it and installed it a little off so it does not cover the entire light up display portion and looks weird. I wouldn't really recommend it due to the fact that you need a surgeon's precision.
Another SP that seems to work out well is the Panzer Glass, but people are having trouble getting it in the states.

I am using the Panzer Glass screen protector with Trident Cyclops case.
I am very happy with both of them !!

I am searching for a good Glass Screen Protector that will cover the entire screen or as most as possible. I have read that iloome is not doing that, so i am trying to find another one.
Any user of the Panzer Glass or the SNP Glass Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector For LG G2 to help on this? Or another glass screen protector to cover good the display?

I'm happy with the iloome ScreenMate Flex + OtterBox Commuter Case for my G2

perfect timing! just got a G2 and been researching accessories all week. just received diztronic clear tpu case yesterday and car mount arriving this weekend. However, I've never been more conflicted about putting a SP on a phone before! The feel of the G2 is unmatched! I've never felt a phone screen so smooth...it's hard for me to want to cover it up, but I also know I'll need to if I want to keep it scratch-free. Which SP feels the most like the glass on the phone?

No Tempered glass protector can cover the entire screen since the curved edges. Im using the glass-m and that protects the entire DISPLAY area, not from edge to edge at screen tho. At first i thought this would suck but you dont think of it really.

Xtremeguard Tempered Glass Screen protector and bac protector :(

So i got my Xtremeguard Tempered Glass Screen protector and back protector. Highly Disappointed. Halo all around and the film for the back of the phone is cut to big and the the cutout around the camera and heart rate sensor looks horrible. The back film I will have to cut myself so it fits, its just to go between the phone and a case,so nothing gets scratches.
I always used Xtremeguard for my LG G3 , but not for the note5 now.

I just emailed them i will see what they say.
I had issues with my wife's note 4 screen protector , they refunded my money and said just to write return to sender on the package.

It's the 2.5D glass the note 4 and 5 use, the edges of the screen are curved, not flat. When you find one the doesn't do that it won't coder the edge is the screen.

I really hate to pay alot for a screen protector. Was hoping XtremeGuard would work for me like it did on my LG g3

Interestingly, that screen protector actually says, "2.5D" on the packaging. Ii need to google that phrase, I've never heard of it, but that would be nice to know if screen protector manufacturers could tell us if they account for the curved screen or not.

The 2.5D Jettech is talking about means the edge of the screen protector is also rounded off so it doesn't have a sharp edge.

Actually you want the rounded edge so it isn't sharp, some aren't 2.5D and they can slice your finger if you run it along the edge of it. I can tell you there are 0 glass protectors that cover the entire screen including the curved edge. They didn't have it for the 4 and they won't have it for 5 either.

I was saying it's a bummer that the screen protector is not curved. Not that it was a bummer that they rounded the edges. Just to clarify.
That is really unfortunate though. The screen protector I have barely covers my screen and has a bad halo. i can't imagine having a screen protector that only goes to to where the halo starts.

I have this screen protector and my phone looks nothing like this. I agree it doesn't cover 100% of the screen which I love because I use full body cases (supercase unicorn) and it sits perfectly in that case. I wonder if you got a lemon. Have you tried reseating the protector?

I used xtremegaurd with very little halo.
pics not good...but you get the idea

Refund

I just got 2 of these in the mail. It came in generic packaging, doesn't even say xtremeguard anywhere on it. Front of the plastic box just says "real tempered glass screen protector." I don't even think these are made for the Note 5. They are probably for the note 4. mine look like mrpickem's as they don't have the small round cutout inside the top cutout to account for the large front camera lens.
i found a thread somewhere else on xda and someone said xtremeguard and just been buying whatever tempered glass protectors they can buy in china and sending out various brands. think i'm gonna ask for a refund.

I got mine today. Very disappointed, the front camera and sensor area wasn't big enough. I should of figured when the glass came in a package with an iPhone on it.

I'd believe it

Actually I'm fairly happy with mine. You can't expect much for $4 IMO. If some of the better makers come up with a highly regarded unit I'll switch...otherwise I can roll with this for awhile.
next to my note 4, the halo much worse on note 4 and it was expensive protector

Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

As with any phone, this is a pretty hot topic and I expect no less from this phone.
Please share your experiences with tempered glass screen protectors in this thread so they do not clutter the forum.
Coming from the Nexus 6, tempered glass screen protectors were a nightmare . the curved screen made them have a halo effect and caused proximity sensor issues. I'm hoping this phone is not going to be the same.
Personally I just ordered the Spigen glass.tr slim for my phone.. It can be found for 9.99 + free shipping on amazon currently. I will be reporting back with my review once I receive it and my phone.

I've had bad luck with the tempered glass protectors. On both my Nexus 5 and my Nikon DSLR, I've had the tempered glass break - no damage to the screens themselves, just broken screen protectors. No thanks.

I'd say they did their job then ... Seems they protected your phone from breakinh

Exactly, that's their whole point, to break instead of your screen.

Yeah, lots of folks like them, I've just had bad luck. One on a DSLR, one on a phone, both from reputable manufacturers, and a couple years apart. Neither lasted two months, and I do baby my gear. Weird.

I've had a tempered glass protector on my Galaxy S5 and have had to replace it once do to a crack straight across due to a fall. And yes, the actual screen is perfectly fine. I already received my Spigen tempered glass protector in the mail.

I've broken 3 tempered glass screen protectors so far and damaged 0 phones screens I ordered the Spigen as well

My spigen arrived in the mail today.. Looks great. Can't wait to try it on the phone

In my house, we've got tempered glass protectors on a Galaxy Tab A and a iPhone 6S plus, they have been working out great. We use TechMatte amFilm brand.

I haven't had a screen protector on my GS5 for the last year and don't have any noticeable scratches. Is the tempered glass the way to go? Seems that everyone likes the Spigen one...

They can get scratched I promise, anything with quartz in it like sand, dirt etc will scratch it. I like the Spigen one because they are generally good for the price

My laid my spigen on top of my Cruzerlite bugdroid case to get an idea of coverage and it appears as though the screen protector goes edge to edge..leaving just barely enough room for a lip on a case

If direct light (e.g. sunlight) hits the screen, then you can see the hairline scratches. Is it noticeable in daily use? No. I do see the scratches in direct light only

Does tempered glass add noticeable weight and thickness to the phone? Haven't used one before and thinking about it.

Usually they are 0.3mm thick so not really thickness and the weight is negligible

Recommended screen protector?

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

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?

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.

Oneplus official silicone case problem

The case attracts a lot of dust whenever I put it in my pocket. I used it for a little bit before the dust problem got really annoying and i bought another tpu case on amazon. Any fixes for the dust problem? I really love the feel of the case and the cutouts are better than the TPU so I want to use it.

Me too facing the same problem, but I have lost that cover. Any idea where to find the official one? It is not available on the website.

hey guys is it true that case is responsible for some negative effect on the matte finish?the matte finish is coming off after using it for around 2-3 weeks?

I've just got the phone this week and I've ordered a ringke onyx case for the phone. I think its best to stay away from the offical case that comes with the phone just to be on the safe side as some users here experienced paint chipping after using the case provided inside the box.

I got the 5t the day it came out and used that stock Silicon case for about 2 months without any sign of paint chipping. It did collect dust like a vacuum. I got 4-5 cases on AliExpress for under $5 each and they too have dust problems. the one I use has a clear plastic back, so I can see it all of the time.
Did drop my phone today and scratched the stock film cover. Pulled it back and it didn't damage the screen, but now I get to research the best film screen, since the last time I researched it, there was no good tempered glass one that didn't have issues

I primarily use this case, and without getting a ruler out, there is about 1/16" on the top of bottom and about 1/32" on the sides with the stock film. (or as much as the coverage past the screen of the stock film)
Ironically, the first link for topace on amazon is a film, not a glass and the glass product has 1 poor review.

The way they did the curved screen on both OP5 Models made nearly all glass screen protectors on the market not very good at fitting. Even the official ones from Oneplus themselves were whack. I tried loads. Best of a bad bunch were the orzly ones, but even those weren't perfect. The phone itself just makes it impossible.

I used to have some various cheap glass protectors on my S4 and never had the issues people are noting on the various glass protectors for the 5t - reduced touch sensitivity, rainbow effect, hot spots, etc
Honestly, though I have gotten descent at installing screen protectors, I despise putting them on and getting everything perfect, so I am trying to do as much research before hand, so hopefully I only have to do it once.
I got the OnePlus glass when I got the phone, but read the initial reviews and had planned just to keep the stock film on, as it seemed to be doing a good job until I dropped in in the backyard and damaged the film about 1" down and 1" in from the right.

If you mean the official OnePlus case, no, i have not experienced any chipping of the phone after using the official case. Currently used for a month already.

One month and still no chipping

I primarily use this case, and without getting a ruler out, there is about 1/16" on the top of bottom and about 1/32" on the sides with the stock film. (or as much as the coverage past the screen of the stock film)
Ironically, the first link for topace on amazon is a film, not a glass and the glass product has 1 poor review.

Yes, there's definitely no ideal way to do it. This is why I personally prefer the flat screened phones, as they have none of these issues.
Pity in a way that curved screen phones have become a fad this past year. Last decent looking one that I was tempted to get was the Razer Phone for gaming. (That one's completely flat screen, and generally looked like quite a decent smartphone for alot of other reasons too). It's been out for a while though now, and haven't got round to it yet, but I still might. In the meantime, I'll just struggle on with my OnePlus until it dies (or more likely, 'til my screen breaks!) haha
sorry to hear about you dropping yours though,. that must've been harsh. was it just the film that got damaged, or did any of the actual device's screen underneath get hit?

Yea, about 4ft drop when pushing my kids in the swing to the dirt and debris that settled under the leaves (that I had just moved so they could use the swing for the first time this year.
I was trying to take pictures of them and dropped it
I dug my finger under the corner and peeled back the screen protector past the damage and the screen was clear. It's almost like a rock dug up the surface of the film

Phew! That was close! (it's always a bit unsettling when you see the cracks in a screen protector). With protectors also being transparent, at first it often looks like it's gone right through to the actual screen, until the moment of truth when you remove it afterwards.. (I've had a few scares like that in my time! So I feel ya!) But is a satisfying feeling of relief when you pull the protector off and everything looks good as new underneath.
Anyways, glad you got lucky that time aswell! So far so good!

after 2 months my phone is completely ruined by this case. I should have changed the case earlier.
