I just got my new Dot Case from VZ, but the bloody thing doesn't close all the way. The front flap is not flush with the screen so its hard to see the notifications. I do have a tempered glass screen on there, but I don't think that is the actual cause of the flap not being flushed. I'm just wondering if I got a lemon?

Tempered glass screen protector off - closes all the way nicely.
Tempered glass screen protector adds just enough thickness to cause the front flap to not close as it increases the height against the hinge for the cover. Bummer
I look at this two ways. Cover of the dot case negates the need for a screen protector....or I can choose a case that the screen protector is able to work with (I did this, having had the dot case and learned the hard way about the fit).

Did you confirm this yourself? I'd hate to remove the the expensive glass protector only to find out that it isn't the reason why the flap doesn't close all the way.
dot view case is the ugliest thing i have ever seen in my life. HTC MAJOR FAIL!
It just looks and feels wrong.
Try again HTC

Confirmed only in my situation for the Tempered Glass protector I installed.
I have the nillkin glass protector...only one I can confirm. Dot case closed perfectly without the glass installed. With the glass installed, stayed open and would not fully close.

Thanks....it's the exact same glass I have. Looks like the Dot case is going back.
Same issue here. Glass protector and when the dot view case arrived it won't close because of the protector. Case is ugly anyway so it is going back tomorrow.
If it's anything like the normal flip case it may take a few weeks to break the case in. I had the flip case one the M7, and many complained about this. After a week or two it was just fine.
A brand new dot view case didn't close all the way on my phone (with Verizon screen protector.)
But since the case breaks bluetooth voice dialing, I immediately returned it.
Yea.. after 5 hours of use, I had to return mine as well. I tried extra hard to like it, but I should've listened to the reviews I've read about it hindering one-handed usage. Went back to my Nillikin slim case and all is well again.
Hmm, I also got a dot view and a glass screen protector and am thinking maybe I shouldn't put it on. I need to test out the case for a few days, see how I like it... I didn't care for the Samsung view cover cases, not sure if I'll like this one. The dot view seems to be one of the cases where you either love it or hate it.
Case closing
I can tell you that the first week the case did not close all the way. Now it closes perfectly.
It has to be kind of broken in. I personally love the case.....

Three or four days of use loosened mine so that it closed even with a tempered glass screen protector on it. Do not have any gap when sitting flat now, closes all the way. Give it a few days. Even breaks in for one handed use well. Just takes getting used to like any change. :cyclops:

I have the Skinomi Glass. Good product. Good warranty coverage. Had a key in my pocket scratch and crack the protector, they replaced it no charge under warranty with overnight shipping. Good support and an excellent product.

I just wondered because you said the case broke in after a week.
I'm wondering whether I should purchase the Spigen Glas.tR. which is 0.23mm or should I purchase a 0.15mm screen protector instead.
Does the glass effect the viewing of the case?
Are you having problems with the case with the glass at all?
Thanks!
I just wanted to share my thoughts and experience with the Whitestone Dome Glass for the Note 8. I have installed a few of these things on Note 8's for my friends and I. With the exception of the tray lifting up in the middle where it comes together and the glass slipping between on my first install I can say the product installs very smoothly. Two of my installs have resulted with issues with the glue on the edges collecting dust/dirt and when you try to get it off the edge (since it isn't rounded) looks like utter crap. I am talking TWO absolutely perfect installations. One of which developed a lifting edge on the lower right side which has tiny bubbles. Keep in mind one of these installations is with a case that allows more than enough room (tech21 evo tactical) and the other with no case. I have contacted Whitestone via their email, via PM here on XDA and the on site contact form via their website. I have gotten ZERO reply. I want this product to be work. I really do but I think some issues need to be addressed such as rounding the edges and maybe the glue or the light not curing the glue enough. After my experience, I have to question the customer service of this company. I am about to contact the place I purchased them from to see if they can do anything. I have attached the same pictures I sent to whitestone for everyone to see. The whole edge around the whole glass looks that way now. Maybe whitestone will see this and actually do something.
Update: On one of the installs it started bubbling on one edge and looked horrible. I was able to remove the glass with little or no effort. All in one piece took less than 30 seconds. There is definitely an issue with either the uv glue, the uv light, or both. I also notice rough edges on the glass itself. This in itself promotes the crappy look on the edge when the dirt mixes with the glue. Step up Whitestone.
This why I waited on these, will see how they handle this.

Thanks for sharing. I ordered from Amazon, but haven't installed it yet. I'm thinking of returning it....
Following this as I purchased the Whitestone Dome for my Note 8 also, It looks like it installed fine without any bubbles, but we will see.
I love how some companies don't respond unless you call them out publicly.

Agreed. I would recommend sticking with Amazon on this one as you are always covered with them. I am going to re-install a dome glass again on the Note 8 and document on this thread the phases as it gets what is almost like a "halo" from the dirt on the edge. Some may not have a problem with the look. I however think it looks horrible.
I had no issues at all with being a first time user of the product. Other than the price, seems to be the best thing out there for our screens. I guess you pay for what you get. I did have some glue residue in the top right hand corner, but the alcohol pad took care of that with not problems. I did happen to get one bubble in the bottom left corner, but imma try not to get all bent over it...as OCD as I am, just shows it's not too bad of a bubble. Just hoping I never have to see if its durable enough for a drop.
It seems that all screen protectors for these types of screens are iffy if you dont put them on PERFECT. It bums me out because I spent $20 on my first screen protector (not this one) and it slid right off... The middle of the screen protector was all dried up and had no glue on it. I probably can blame myself for a bad install, but Ive seen many people complaining about this type of issue.. I'm probably gonna try this one out here soon and see if it works well. What cases are compatible with this protector? I have a spigen tough armor atm and it seemed to try and peel the corners off a tad on my last protector...

I am successfully using the Samsung OEM clear back cover. Does not interfere with the Whitestone, which is work well without any bubbles after 2 days.
I too am a bit dissatisfied with the white stone protector as it went on absolutely perfect until I stuck it in my pocket and pulled out a protector full of fuzz stuck around the edges. After trying to clean it up the edges look rough and it created a halo effect from tiny bits of glue rubbing oiut from the very edge. I also agree the edges need to be rounded and polished. If the glue wasn't rubbery and was more of a solid it would eliminate the dirt and lint issue

Since every case is different and every screen protector is different it is a lottery. Unless you go with the Whitestone Dome Glass there is a list of compatible cases just watch the vids on this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCewzyJMZtNFqESxXZZgv__g
From my experience here are the ones I have tried so far and they fit fine: tech21 evo check and evo tactical. Any of the caseology cases. I have a UAG Monarch on order and that is supposed to fit as per the video Gravx made but it is very close. I have a perfect install on my dome glass so it should.
Here are a few pictures of an absolutely perfect install. No bubbles, perfect placement, etc. Pay attention to the edges in particular. Especially at the bottom and left hand side. That is where the glue under the screen edge is now gone from cleaning it up. You can see little balls of glue all over in different spots. Cleaning those up will result in the same halo look everywhere. This is after just a few days.
Whitestone has been at least acknowledging me since I went public. They are willing to address the issue have been helpful now. The original place I purchased from has terrible communication. What I really want is a way to get the edge clean after installing so this halo doesn't happen. It may be that we just have to leave it alone and have a crummy looking edge. Or just let it "wear" off? I think that is what I will try next.

Hello there!
I am so sorry about that. We will reply ASAP.
It has been a long Korean holiday and we have not been able to help much.
We will get back to you very soon.
The Whitestone Dome works perfectly if you can follow directions. I have done 3 of these now (S7 edge, S8 plus, and Note8) and they all came out perfect! If someone is on the fence do to the negative reviews, just go ahead and get it. Apparently, many people try to blame their own mistakes on the company. You just have to take your time and read the instructions. I just hope that Whitestone continues to make these as it is the only protector that fits on curved displays (all companies seem to be going to the curved edges it seems).

I also contacted you through private message and also through Facebook Messenger with no response..
I actually messed up my first install and had to clean all the glue off my phone and the screen protector before trying again (it didn't drop properly onto the face of the phone during installation), but the second time was perfect. This is by far the best screen protector I've ever used - the s-pen glides so smoothly across it.

I would have to agree as well....I had to order 2 separate orders, because the first one came damaged. Then on the second attempt, my screen bubbled like crazy. I wrote CS. And they wanted pictures....well I of course did what I could to clean up the phone immediately. And didn't think I would need pictures. They sort of gave me, "ohh well". You would think for 50 bucks they would at least provide 2 glasses.
POST UPDATED WITH NOTE VERSION IN COMMENTS
So I'm going to cut to the chase here and say I've tried so many screen protectors for this damn phone that I'm fed up. They all sucked or had problems. Whitestone was a bear to install, got it perfect, then the sides started bubbling. Done with that. I've just been on the constant hunt for a stupid screen protector. Today was the day I gave up. I tore the skin I had on from Amazon because the edges just would not stick. It was only about a mm but it drove me nuts. I had a ring of fuzz and dust around my phone and the rubbery smudgy prone texture was just too much. I am SO FED UP with this hunt that I'm ready to take scratches, whatever.
So today while getting some crap at walmart I went to the phone section. No Note 8 protectors (it is habit to look now), but they had this one for the S8+. Those screens are similar, why the hell not I've tried everything short of lining my phone with clear packing tape.
I brought it home, applied it, patiently worked out the bubbles. Don't fret, even if you get a lot they work out easy. Have some tape near by to do the tape pull back and blot any dust spots you see. Then go through the process of getting rid of bubble again. I did this so many times because I was just doing it in a rush, thinking it wouldn't work at all, and getting dust in the damn thing. But I just kept patient and did the process over and over. It took a while, if I did it in the bathroom after running the shower it wouldn't have. IMO it worked amazingly well. It's a PET film with some flex, but it's NOT a skin. It's not self healing. It will show scratches over time, probably even more so with the Spen, but take care like you do and it will hold up well. It's not brittle like most older static PET films. It's literally the only protector of it's kind I've been able to find locally and the dozens on Amazon. It's a cheap, replaceable and great looking screen protector made for the S8+ but fits the Note perfectly. Here are my results. I used a soft rubber squeege that comes with the IQ shield, don't use a credit card or something that will scratch it. For many of the bubbles I just used my thumb. Finger prints wipe off very easy with this film. Hope this help someone going through what I have been.
Oh first, it's this one. 9.99. I plan on going back and getting all of them. lol
This one:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/ONN-Plastic-Screen-Protector-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S8/925343896
Even better just found one made for the Note 8. Same brand
Congrats man!
No glass no deal
Yeah well this post isn't for you then. Glass on a curved screen is joke. The only viable option is a rip off and not even that great after some use. This is for people like me who don't drop their phones (never have dropped or shattered a screen since the Iphone 3G). I want basic scratch protection that doesn't look like saran wrap. This is the one.
The Note specific version is even better. Highly recommend.
try the Rinke invisible defender. its 8 bux off amazon. it wraps over the sides so you don't have any lift issues. heres a youtube link. its probably one of the best NON glass protectors you can get.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMbol8eljIg&t=97s
Thanks but I tried that. It felt bad to me as far as texture. This one feels just like the glass. Unless I got a bad rinke lol
I think I've tried every possible type on Amazon. This is the best for me. Smooth like glass, doesn't hold on to prints, doesn't collect dust and doesn't lift at all . It's basically what I've been searching for about a month now or more.
For 9.99 it's perfect. Use and replace every 6 months or so if needed, though it feels resilient. Install is easy. I can't imagine having to replace the Whitestone every time it looks like crap after a while. Not to mention for the money it's way too fragile. Again just my opinion, I'm only trying to help those like me looking for scratch protection that looks and feels good
Here's the actual note version on my phone
Im looking for something like this since all those glass protector are a joke. At least we xan avoid scratches. This is the worse walmrt brand for assesories together with blackweb im surprise that their screen protector is good.

Yeah it was a last ditch effort to try the s8+ version. Never would have thought I'd like it this much. Just put another one on to make sure it wasn't dumb luck. I put the other on my wife's. It's beautiful. Lol The key to no lift is near perfect alignment. You need to be patient with the bubbles on this one but they come out fairly easy and the protector is really durable to pulling up and putting back down a couple times for a flatter lay.
I actually found the S8 plus version was a bit easier to align due to the fact that it has cutouts up at the top versus one large section cut out like on the note version.

Yeah in store. The s8+ version shows up online but not this one. I'll grab my reciept in a sec
Here's the reciept with sku. I've been to two that both have them. Again for anyone who is going to install this make sure you're in a dust-free area if possible have some scotch tape nearby to pull up and dab any dust if need be and make sure your alignment is spot-on. I was able to lift it adjust plenty of times and you may think you screwed it up but just keep at it. Alignment is the priority, then worry about dust and bubbles. You want it to be equal on both sides. Hope this helps. Oh and use your thumb or a rubber squeegee to press bubbles out from the center towards to sides.
I've been using the S Pen no problem it hasn't scratched it yet as long as you don't dig down with it you should be fine and it doesn't have the resistance like the Skins did it's glass like imo
Holy edits lol
One other tip. Be careful pulling the cover off the protector that covers the adhesive side. It's a little tricky to do without touching the underside but it's not bad. Just worth mentioning to take your time peeling that off before you lay it down. Sorry about all the posts I'm sick in bed and bored.

It's made from butter. Joking aside I remember my note 8 when brand new after day two in a case there was a scratch on the back. Ever since that moment , I've used back film protection as well. It just takes a grand of sand to get lodged inside the case to do a lot of damage.
Also what case ? Some cases are better at trapping the grain of sand and preventing it from moving around than others.

Spigen la manon.
Made of chocolate.
Yeaup small particles can get sandwiched in the case but it seems odd it would be a long scratch if that was the case.
That's why I either do a clear slick wraps or throw on a debrand.
Phones in cases got those a lot easier than naked. Small debriefs enters the case and starts to scratch the sides/back.
Yeah.. Tell me a phone with glass back and a Case on not getting hairline scratches and dotted "spots" on the back !
Being cautious and have been using plastic protectors there since "glass era".
This is why I purchased a case AND DBrand skin for it. All my phones have gotten scratches on the back from dust and grit getting under the case. Trying real hard to keep this one pristine.
That is why I like Samsung OEM cases for the N9. They line the inside of them with material to decrease the chance of these blunders.

Something softer than sand it appears.
my note 8 still is scratch free after riding in a UAG case since launch...hoping to get my Note 9 tomorrow or Thursday...just couldn't bring myself to pay 1250 at launch this year after having new Note every year since GN3 on launch day or before with early shipping. Managed to acquire one on swappa for $850(512GB) so it was worth the wait if it's as described
are these glass backs or some poly type plastic? I wonder whether a session with poly watch might help.

Glass back. A good was or oleophobic coating might help with some scratches. Definitely not going to help with sand getting in between case and phone though.

Hey, reviving an old thread. Did you find any fix? I have not one, but 2 medium and 1 small scratch on my back and I used Displex but didnt change anything (I mean really nothing). Any other suggestion? I would try a magic pen for cars and then apply dbrand skin. I so ****ing hate how weak is the rear glass

Yea, but I had a HTC 10 before, full metal. Never had a rear glass
Sand/dust will always cause scratches on glass. Only way around it is to put a protective skin on the back. Even if it's a tight case, the device will shift and particles can still move around between device and case.
There's probably no way to fix the scratches once their occur because its happening to the glass, not a layer of protection onto of it like paint is on a car. No matter what clear liquid you put on their to dry, it will always show the scratch/crack as light will refract at multiple angles, causing you to see the scratches/crack.
Also the finger print sensor is very eazy to scratch
Ironically when I got my Note 9 I left the plastic attached to the back of the phone from the factory before I installed a case on it . I learned this from my S8+ which also got similar scratches . My thought process is this , I was putting it in a case anyways and while the case itself should protect it . I decided to leave the plastic backing on the phone in place anyways . Not like I was going to see it under the case anyways .
I just applied my Ringke Dual Easy Wing Screen Protector. It was quite nifty the way they designed everything for a pretty much dustless install.
My question for anyone else that has used this screen protector on this phone or any phone, does the horizontal line in the film from where the two backing pieces were split, Step#2 And Step #3, ever work its way out?
It's not real noticeable only from certain angles.

8/29..The spen does leave marks in the screen protector
It's so hard to try to get a picture of it

Mine will arrive sometime today. I'll let you know if I experience any lines of any kind within the view of the screen.
Can you tell me if the screen protector is smooth? Will it interfere with smooth movement of the S-Pen over the screen? Thanks

It's completely smooth. I haven't turned the phone on it, but I just took the Spen across it and it feels like nothing is there.

Thanks for the info. Looks like mine just showed up. I'll get it on in the next couple of hours and report back.
Random question! Up to what part does the wing cover? Is it compatible with a DBrand skin?

Covers both the left and right side of the phone and even goes over the rounded edge on the back
Here's a picture so you can see how far around the back it goes. And I took a picture of the sides so you can see the coverage around the buttons

I just got it installed and I see the horizontal (ever so slight) indention in the orange peel surface of the screen protector. Mine doesn't have any air under that line so even at the right angle, I can't get a picture of it. It's completely invisible when the screen is on and you can't even see it with the screen off unless you angle the phone perfectly to catch a glance of it. If you wouldn't have started this thread, I would have never noticed it and I'm very picky. Lol
That said, this screen protector is much nicer then previous PET film type protectors I've used. Very smooth and doesn't have that rubbery feel to it in the least bit. I don't see s-pen intentions after using it either. Huge plus! The install method made a dust/particle free install a breeze.. Probably the best $9 screen protector we're ever going to see again.

I just had a chance to fire up my phone and everything and yeah you can't see that line at all when the screen's on.. I think the last time I had a note was like the note 4 and I had a zagg film screen protector on it. And I know that thing had major orange peel and was soft and you could indent it with your finger or the s pen. This screen protector is nothing nothing like that
The install was great. They could have made the numbers on the tabs a darker color. When I first read the instructions and it was telling me the numbers I didn't see them
How about fingerprints and glare... I had their Matt one before on the note 10 plus I was very happy with that one

I'd have to get back to you on that. I was camping this weekend and do not have a case for the phone yet. So I literally put my screen protector on and then put it back in the box.

Fingerprints are definitely an issue with this screen protector. The install turned out so flawlessly that I can look past that.
There's no horizontal line.
Fingerprints wipe off easily and I feel like there's less than on just the plain glass. This is my favourite screen protector because I can swipe type easily with no sticky feeling and the spen glides right over it.
Will this work with the Otto Defender pro case?
Spen does leave marks in the screen protector

Yeah, I spoke too soon in my previous reply. It definitely does, but not as bad as I've had with previous PET type screen protectors.
S-Pen does leave marks, but they fade. Not completely, but they fade quite a bit.
This is easily my favorite screen protector, and I've tried the cheap ones all the way up to Whitestone Dome on my Note 10+. I really liked the Whitestone Dome, but it just affected the fingerprint scanner too much. Plus they raise the price with each new phone.
So now my Note 10+ and my Note 20 Ultra both have the Ringke Dual Easy Wing screen protectors on them.
If you check the Amazon reviews for it, the first one is mine. Pics were taken right after installation.
I'm extremely impressed with this screen protector. I thought it was going to be rubbery and leave tons of marks on the screen when using the S-Pen, but it feels almost like the glass below it and leaves very little marks that go away quickly. To answer the OP's question from being a vinyl graphics installer over the last 20 years, you want to be VERY careful when dealing with folds and application material that go over the screen, and I'll explain what I mean by that. When you are removing the dust layers 2 and 3, you want to be careful NOT to run the squeegee OVER the one that is remaining on the screen, depending on which one you pulled off first.
Adhesive likes to lay down and connect to the screen in a horizontal way, so if you have a raised application material - the dust layer - still on the screen and you squeegee over that raised edge, you are stretching the glue that is designed to go straight down now around the edge, and when the second layer is removed, the adhesive is now bent over itself and creates a line from the adhesive doubled up. When this happens, you can't fix it with cure time or running the squeegee over it enough times, the adhesive is stuck to itself and can't be fixed.
TL ; DR - don't run the squeegee over the application material when installing because it will permanently ruin the adhesive and can't be repaired.
Seeing mixed opinions regarding the s-pen with this screen protector... Not sure if I should buy it.
For example this review made me doubt buying it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-...=cm_cr_othr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B08CZJL67L
