Running the built in screen protector isn't possible. Too many issues with touch sensitivity. I did pop out the built in screen protector and applied my own. The problem is this causes a miss alignment with the power and volume buttons. So I'm assuming the thick but in protector helps line the phone up with the buttons. Is there something I can use, thin strip of foam, to help "push" into the case? Very frustrating, I really like this case over the commuter.

I had the same issue and nothing I did helped so I just bought the supcase unicorn beetle pro case. Even with my tempered glass screen protector, it fits perfectly and I still can use my volume and power button :good:

I did find a way, kind of. I hastily did this. I took some thin foam and lined the case where the screen protector was attached. That actually help line up the buttons pretty good. I have to go through and do a better job. I have the Beetle case, juts like the full rubber outside for grip.
What glass screen protector did you go with? I used to own an S7 about a year ago and ditched the glass screen protectors because they were terrible.

How is the touch sensitivity on the sides? Rain bowing effect on the glass?

Surprisingly responsive of the edges and now looking at it, there is a little color distortion from the glass on o e of the corners ( most likely due to me having a good S7 Edge.) Other than that, no issues.

Anybody ever try this?

I haven't tried it but it sounds very interesting. Be very careful when you choose a screen protector. I have had a Copter screen protector on my Note 2 now for 2 days and it looks like a dartboard. It's to soft for the. S-Pen stylus. Even before the damage caused by the S-Pen reading small text was impossible due to the structure of the plastic film. $20 down the drain.
Interesting find. I have moshi palm guard for my 17" mbp since day one and it's held up very well against my watch and tungsten bracelet.
interesting for sure.... I am waiting for Spigen to release there glass cover for the SN2. I am happy with there lines of things. I picked up the Valentinus however a bit leery since my cards and all touch the screen.

I tried it with my Note 1, and didn't like it at all. Although it did protect the screen and was definitely reusable, I always saw it and found it obscured the screen too much for me.
If you like the "anti-glare" versions of other screen protectors you will like it. There is only adhesive on the outer rim so it is impossible to get a bubble on the actual display. However like other anti-glare protectors it will reduce visibility.If you are used to the crystal clear protectors I would not recommend it.

I was wondering how it adhered to the screen, thanks for the info.
I really like going without a screen protector but I am thinking that it will add strength to the screen in case it drops or bends(sit on it)
Spigen said they aren't making it due to the curved glass.

I don't think it will give it any more strength. The protector itself is not that rigid.
Hi All,
My preferred phone protection is to have a tempered glass screen protector and silicone case. Saved my old phone from bad damage a couple times while bouncing on the street.
Now... the challenge I have with the P9000 is that the silicone case that came with the phone doesn't go 'over' the edges of the tempered glass protector and pushes it off.
rather annoying!
Ordered some other silicone cases on Aliexpress but the same problem.
Anybody found a nice case that does the trick? Tried 'heat stretching' the case a bit for a better fit but no luck so far.
thanks!

My problem was that one corner of the glass doesn't stick to the LCD. After I applied the silikoncase it fits.

Had the same issue what you need to do is force phone by slotting it into case then pull the lip over the screen protector. Do this to all corners and you'll have no issues.

Congrats on having it fixed without any drastic measures! I went the 'cutting route' for now since I had to replace the screen protector and didn't want to risk another one.
But I've got another set of silicone cases coming from aliexpress to check if they are a bit better!
I've got 2 P9000's (one for me one for my girlfriend) so actually I already wrecked 2 screen protectors.
Same problem here. Original case and aliexpress case. No luck.
i bought the official flip case and tempered glass.
tried the case first which fit but found the buttons a bit hard to press.
if you fold the case front behind the phone the camera is blocked also.
could view the on screen clock and notifications through the case screen window.
once applied the tempered glass the phone wouldn't recognize the flip case, so when i closed it over the screen remained on and the case window became useless.
this company do nothing right do they.
Had to struggle the same problem, but now i could fix it.
Just make sure the glass is positioned in centre on the screen. When putting on the case, make sure the case slips properly over the first 3 corners. For the last one, you can use any tool (i a used knife, but be careful ) to overlap the edge of the silicon case with the tempered glass.
No matter what I did, it wouldn't do it without lifting the glass

I have the same issue (sometimes) with matte film protectors and the standard case.
Always on the top right corner for me - where I've got fractionally less unprotected screen , so maybe very precise alignment of the screen protector would help you?
Pulling the case over the edge of the screen with my fingernails was enough for me
Cut the flip in the flip-case.

Cut the flip in the flip-case. Just kepping the hard back. This way you can use the glass and have back protection. I did this and works fine.

there is a space between the silicon case and the glass so they don't touch each other

The hard back in the flip case is useless. Too fragile, corners and button covers break easily, my P9000 fell just once not too hard and the screen left upper corner broke. Silicone cover is better protection
u can use scotch tape on the bottom corners of the glass to stop it from lifting, funny idea but works, if u want to save a new case cost.

Yeah, OnePlus 3D/Curved Tempered Screen protector is definitely not compatible - the otterbox causes the screen protector to peel off instantly. Dztronic case works with that screen protector.

3D screen? I wonder why. Maybe my screen is defective, or maybe because I had my screen cracked and replaced by OnePlus and the replacement isn't identical (I saw no difference though).

I would love to see pics of your device. This may not be a problem on 3/3T, but it is a problem on 5. On 5, Otterbox rubber piece digs right at the edge of the TGSP and when plastic is put over the rubber piece it lifts up the TGSP and creates air pockets instantly...

Do you have a picture with the case on? I have the defender also and looking for a tempered glass
The problem you will find with most glass protectors is they typically only have adhesive around the edges. This means there is a gap between the protector and the screen and this decreases sensitivity. I'd look for a new case that works with Dome Glass. Cases are a dime a dozen but glass protectors with full adhesive are very limited. I typically buy UAG cases but only the Monarch UAG works with the Dome Glass. There are 3 YouTube videos that go through compatible cases for Dome Glass.

Otterbox has the Alpha Glass out already.. Was going to get a defender + alpha glass if I didnt already have a UAG plasma
Dont waste your money
ALPHA GLASS FOR NOTE 8 This is the WORST designed screen protector. It causes a major loss in screen sensitivity, to the point of having to tap screen several times, and press down with a good deal of pressure to get the screen to respond. There is a large gap at both top and bottom of screen. Adhesive is CLEARLY visable on all borders of the protector. I am extremely disappointed in the design of this! I have used alpha glass protectors before on my Samsung galaxy s8+ and was looking forward to the release of this one. I will be telling everyone i know to steer clear of this product! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY~ YOU MIGHT AS WELL FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET~ I am a faithful customer of Otterbox, I love their cases, but this screen protector does not live to otterbox brand. I will stay a customer with their cases, but I will NEVER again purchase an alpha glass!
Otterbox defender & whitestone dome match made in heaven
So I just finished installing my whitestone dome glass protector, what a great system, 1st one failed cos of my error but second time worked sweet as. All cured and sitting pretty, absolutely no touch screen lag very responsive and very nice to use, wouldn't even know there was anything on the screen.
My case of choice is the otter box defender, I'm hard on my phones and with the note 8 almost costing a mortgage deposit, I want it well protected. Both the whitestone and the defender case appears to be made for each other, the edge of the protector sits almost flush with the top part of the case = perfect fit. No lifting no nothing. It's amazing to say the least..
The corners are actually protected by the corners of the case and it's like the case holds the glass even more secure, again no lifting or anything.
Hope this helps some of you out. I'm happy to supply pictures if any of you guys need.
Happy protecting everyone..

Could you keep us updated on your experience with this? A lot of other people have concluded that if the case is in contact with the screen protector, it will start lifting at some point.
I was using tempered glass screen guard on my Note 8. However I dropped the phone twice from a height of about 2/2.5 feet and the screen guard cracked. I am now using Samsung original clear view case for Note 8. Should I use glass screen guard with the clear view case?

The screen protector is supposed to crack so your phone screen doesn't. My advise, if you like your note 8 put a screen on it! ?
Cut out your defender inner plastic
I've already wasted one expensive tempered glass (Araree tempered glass made in Korea, $29.99 + $8 international shipping to US).
When I used this expensive protector, there was some portion overlapped with Depender's inner plastic. Actually it made the tempered glass broken in the edge side.
So, what you can do is, using the sharp nife cut out Defender's plastic edge side where it contacts with glass screen protector. If you do this carefully, it won't look ugly. Or you can use the sand paper to remove some edge portion of plastic.
This Araree tempered glass (full cover) works great with Spigen neo hyprid case. No lift nor sensitivity loss.
I also found that Otterbox defender case works with Sammy's faster charger if we put the phone in the exact middle of the charger and with the charger plate is in plat position. But if we try to charge the phone with the charge plate is in vertical position, there was no way to charge the phone...
Wish I could have read this before I tried the UAG Prism case with the Best Buy installed Zagg glass protector. Cracked the upper left edge of the protector. I have an Otterbox Defender on and it's good. Unfortunately, right from the initial screen protector install, there was separation and touch sensitivity issues. Heading to Best Buy to have them put on another screen protector.

What screen protector will work with the otterbox defender for the Note 8?
So can someone suggest a good case for either the single or dual screen setup? Also I need screen protectors for the dual screen setup and Amazon didn't seem to have anything for the dual screen that were reasonable in price? Thanks in advance. [emoji846]

You don't get the clicky sound from the gap between protector and phone screen? Last phone I tried that with was flat but that miniscule gap would make a "tap tap" sound, so I ripped off the built in. This was years ago tho, when I was still on Samsung before they ruined their screens
Supcase Unicorn with Zagg glass user here. No glass screen protector I have tried goes all the way to the edge of the screen.
Enough of a gap that the Supcase frame perfectly fits along the outside glass without overlap anywhere.
D-Max Armor glass is hot trash of a protector. Thinnest of the glass I've tried. Cracked in two days. LK glass didn't have good adhesive. Removed it because of the massive edge bubbles drove me crazy.
This Zagg glass works nice, but is not worth the price. This time I didnt even take the phone out of the Supcase to apply the glass.
