I haven't put one on mine (yet). I have a case that does cover the screen, but who knows something will slide in between and rub up against the screen.
That being said, who HASN'T put on a screen protector and doesn't plan to? I'm kind of against them because not only do I struggle with putting them on, I always find some imperfections (which drives me bonkers).
Just got mine two days ago. Rooted it. Loaded apps. Lovin it and finally, to get to your question, no I have not and don't plan on getting one. Never use them on phones so I don't plan on starting. I really don't think they are needed and I also think they degrade the screen performance. I could be wrong but JMO.
I haven't put one on, have thought about it but since I got my case haven't found the need. I just give it a good wipe of my microfiber cloth once in a while.
I bought some, but putting it on became quite a hassle. I touched the sticky side of one putting a nice fingerprint on it (arg), and I can NEVER get all of the dust / air-bubbles out, so it ends up just driving me nuts.
I ended up trashing them.
If you buy the screen protectors at a B&N store, they will install for you at no extra charge. Plus you get a microfiber cloth. I haven't noticed any degrade in screen performance.
I put the anti-glare screen protector on the day I got my NC. I've been happy with it and the anti-glare version goes on incrediblincredibly easy as it's a bit thicker than the regular kind. Just thought I'd share for those of you who want one but hate putting them on.

I did the exact same thing.
I did not have one on mine as I plan on trying to exchange it again, but I bought a screen protector for a laptop from $5 Below and cut it to fit..
Works nicely
While I know B&N would put one on for me, I have other things to spend the $15 (or so) dollars on. Plus there's no guarantee the person there will install it to meet my OCDness.
I haven't and i don't plan to.

Same here, I put mine on about 15 minutes after opening it. Haven't had any problems. I used the water/baby shampoo spray with it that came with my BodyGaurdz for my phone and it went on without any problems. Within 20 minutes all the water was gone and the protector wasn't even noticeable

I feel that Im pretty good at putting them on. I use the dry install type like Realook for all my phones and the B&N anti glare for the NC. This is what I do if you ever want to give it a try. Make sure everything is laid out and ready. Turns fans off if your room has one, close windows, etc..
Wash your hands throughly, important that all oil comes off
Spray the air with some sort of cleaner. My favorite is Monster Cable LCD TV cleaner
Clean the device with cleaner and microfiber cloth
Spray air again around your area you are working, wait a few secs for it to fall from air
Remove a very small portion of the backing enough to line up the entire bottom edge of protector
with protector lined up, use a credit card or squeegee to push protector on while backing automatically comes off all the way up.
this leaves minimal bubble and works for me almost every single time. your hands really never touch any sticky side and when you slide the squeegee up it automatically removes the backing for you. I have yet to trash a protector and have to get another. if you have dust, then carefully pull back and use a toothpick to get the dust particle off and reapply. Hope this helps someone.

i bought this tablet over other comparable android tabs (gtab, archos, etc) due to its beautiful screen. no way im putting a screen protector over it. i use one on my phone, but only because it travels in my pocket.
I bought the anti-glare protector from B&N. I used a microfiber cloth thing that came with this windshield cleaning kit I got for Christmas to clean the screen and went over it a few times with the supplied cloth to remove dust. I was able to apply the protector without trapping a single air bubble, piece of lint, fingerprint or anything else. While it hasn't done much for reducing glare, it has helped tremendously with fingerprint grease and in reducing the friction between my finger and the screen.

This sums up my experience as well. It's worth it just for the fingerprint protection.

I have learned that going in the bathroom, turning on the shower and allowing the steam to take the dust out of the air is the only way to ensure that there are no air bubbles.
I also have nearby some scotch tape so that if there is a speck of dust or lint, I can apply the tap to the sticky side of the screen protector without getting my fingerprints all over it.

Thanks, I think I might have to have another go at it.
Been naked on 4 previous smart phones. Currently naked on DroidX, Viewsonic Gtab and Nook color. Haven't had any problems with any of the devices.
My phones i usually put one on there because i put it in and out of pocket but Nook color is also naked for me besides a Hard case snap cover I got off eBay.
Hello gyuz,
As mentioned in another thread in Accessories sub-forum, while Installing the Whitestone Dome Screen Protector (https://www.whitestonedome.com/) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, there was UV glue spillage all around the phone & now I have dried (UV cured) glue in the tiniest gap between the screen edges and the metal frame of the phone. Please check attached image, I have circled with red the exact location of the glue, however imagine this almost all around the phone:
Now I need a good UV glue remover to soften the dried glue and an extremely thin blade (or a similar tool) to reach in the gap and remove it. I saw some products on ebay, however I am not sure which will do the job.
First of all which Glue Remover is more suitable? Does it have to be a branded one? Or the unbranded ones will do the job as well? Is there danger that the remover will dry and stay in the gap making it worse? Will it damage the color or consistency of the metal frame? Will it damage the buttons (Power, Volum, Bixby)?
Secondly, which tool should do the job reaching such tiny gap while at the same time not scratching the screen or the metal frame? Metal Blade? Plastic Blade? Wire? Some other tool?
Please advise, as I am nearly desperate. Thank you!
Damn, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't use screen protectors on my phones. I've used a glass one on my Note 5 but didn't like it. Naked display feels the best and performs the best. Not fuss, no glue, no BS. Eeek!

Agree with everything. if i had the chance again I would leave it naked, however I would still feel very uncomfortable without protection.. Actual screen exposed to everything is a little risky!
OP, wish I could advise you, but all I can say is take your time and don't rush this task. Since as you aware, you don't want to use a chemical or item that will damage the frame or buttons. Don't use any metal objects.
Feel for you bro, you go ahead with good intentions to protect your device and now in a predicament.

Thanks for your understanding mate. Indeed tried for the best and ended up worse.
I am not rushing for now, just conctacted Whitestone themselves asking advise on how to fix it, as well as an ebay seller that sells such equipment/tools. He suggested me these:
http://ebay.eu/2g3RySr
http://ebay.eu/2kATYJV
I am not sure about the quality of the Glue Remover and how thin the tools (blades & spudger) are though. Have to make a little research.
That is why also I opened the thread to ask for opinions from people that may have done this or similar task before and to help others in the future.

Before using any chemicals, I would try and use the finest /thinnest plastic card or tool to scrape the glue out of the edges first. Chemicals would be my last resort. Good luck my friend.:good:

I have dropped my phones at least 5 times in the last year and each time it landed screen side down. I broke all 5 glass protectors but never the screen. That is why I must have a full adhesive glass protector on. It is a PITA to get perfect but for me, it's worth it.

I understand, some people need it. I haven't chipped or broken a display since I had an iPhone. Knock wood. Naked is glorious, though.
Plastic tools and alcohol are your friends.
99% Isopropyl should be able to dissolve the glue, and shouldn't leave a mark on the phone (iso evaporates completely and is not dangerous to plastics or metals). A stiff bristled plastic brush would be ideal, maybe an old toothbrush. The thinner and stiffer the bristles, the better.
The iso will dissolve the glue, but you'll need to mechanically agitate it to remove it completely. Bear in mind that traces of iso having touched the glue will streak glass , so a second/third rinse with iso may be necessary.
I'd be careful about getting iso into the switches, as long term iso can degrade rubber (switch seals etc) but as long as you clean, then dry out effectively there shouldn't be an issue (iso will evaporate at room temp in any case). Covering the switches with tape could help, but iso is so thin it will probably go under the tape, and will likely dissolve the glue on the tape too!
e: Whatever you do don't use acetone or any other stronger solvent. Depending on the plastics used acetone will eat right through them, and may affect the finish on other parts too.
Iso really is a decent cleaning solution for most electronic devices.
e ii: Oh, and if you use an old toothbrush, make sure it's very clean. Getting some toothpaste grit on the screen and rubbing it in with a brush would be tragic. Maybe even buy a brand new brush just for this job? Not too expensive for the job, imho.

Yes I'm trying to find such thin tool made of plastic. Cards are too thick for it. It needs to be so thin that can cut you..like razor blades maybe even thinner.

Packaging plastic is often thin and stiff... Cut it into a triangle and see if you can get "under" the glue in the gap.

Nekid, is always glorious, without a shadow of a doubt. But I am too shy and need coverage.
iPhone screens can be so brittle. I got used to changing screens for friends at work. During lunch they'd bring me their replacement display kits that they ordered from Ebay and I'd replace their broken screen for some Subway (as payment).

What i used after installing the whitedome was a sheet of paper, running the corner around gap. Cleaned it easily this way.

The glue stays soft. If you run the paper around it, it will come up. After about a half a cycle thru, I would cut the edge of the paper each time so that I can continue with a firm edge. I did this after a week of installation.

Guyz you won't believe it! For the past 2 hours I was doing exactly that! Actually what worked best was a piece of paper that had the dust removal stickers on it (got it from the Olixar Sentinel Case/Screen Protector kit), which is more firm than plain A4 paper. And I was cutting it all the time to keep its sharpness. At some point it finished and I used just plain A4 paper, which wasn't the same but it kinda worked as well..
I was running it inch by inch around the whole frame, taking out glue (indeed soft) little by little! I think it's much better now, though I think I will do another round in the near future.
well after watching videos.. I could see I never needed ALL of that small tube of glue. I always use some kind of screen protector. I like to sell or give away. And you can ALWAYS tell the used phones that never had a screen protector. Always some kind of scratches.. For me selling it mint.. gets more money.
So use some kind of plastic not metal blade to get the excess glue off. It comes off so easily

I had the same issue with mine and all I used is the film that you remove from the Glass protector before application.. cut off small squares and I ran that in the tiny gaps but making sure you don't go too deep.. Patience and time is must..
I do have a question though.. What is the best thing to use if I wanted to remove my protector off, clean the cured adhesive and use the 2nd bottle to reapply??
Someone finally did it, a Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note 8, not just the edges. I have to say first that I was VERY Skeptical of this tempered glasses claim to have full adhesive and stick to the phone properly. I am one of those people who has literally tried an insane amount of tempered glasses I think Amazon had to offer, finally settling on the Dome Glass but if /when it breaks you are shelling out another 45 bucks plus the install procedure can be a bit much for some.
But anyway this tempered glass went on so easy with the provided guard rail I truly couldn’t believe it. It laid down and adhered to the phone with a little help from the provided squeegee then I just pressed the edges down and voila!! The ENTIRE glass protector lays down edges and everything no bubbles. Went on just as easy as a tempered glass for a flat screen. This tempered glass is just what I have been looking for since I got my Note 8. Well done… SingularityProducts
Pros:
1. Very easy install with tools provided
2. True tempered glass
3. Fingerprints and smudges are minimal and wipe off easily
4. No dot matrix
5. Touch screen sensitivity stayed not hampered
6. Was $13.89 when I bought mine, but now I see it is $18.89 still better than $45, $34, etc the others with this claim cost
Cons:
1. I truly could not think of one con, very happy with this product I am buying another right now in case this one breaks
2. Price increase from $13.89 to $18.89

I think I got something similar to this. Php 1,300 so around $25.
It isnt full coverage (It cuts the screen and leaves the curve where it drops off exposed) and this first one I got had a flaw in the adhesive and has 3 permanent bubbles on the adhesive itself.
I had this replaced then on the second one was perfect. No bubbles. Although one speck of dust made it through. It isn't easy to install and requires a lot of patience and slow application to get the bubbles out.
Technique for the is to let it adhere on the top then slowly work it to the bottom. Starting with the center then working to the edges also works but takes more time. It may have also caused the permanent bubbles to the adhesive as the seller who sold me this forced to press the bubbles out instead of working it out to the edges.
Pictures of the box, kit, and on the Note 8 to follow in a bit.
With the effort for this and the non full coverage I might consider the Whitestone Dome because I am tired trying out different protectors.
I have tried TPU (issue is the s-pen leaves marks on the protector), various edge adhesive protectors (some fit well some don't but all have the dot matrix and eventually dust gets in and in my use case of using the phone while walking in the rain water gets in), and finally this full adhesive but NOT FULL COVERAGE ONE). So far this is the best I have tried BUT lint still gathers on the edges and is driving me bonkers with the cleaning it out...

Lint gathers on the side but at least the touch sensitivity is not affected. Also part of the screen is cut off and the edges are actually exposed.
Also it is weird that the manufacturer kept the black border even if this is full adhesive and again NOT FULL COVERAGE.
I think these are the same full adhesive protectors offered at AliExpress. Ordered one 3 weeks ago. Crap. Bubbles, cuts parts of display left, right, top, bottom. Inacceptable, full adhesive or not. Got it refunded and would not order it again.

If it doesn't cover the edges then that wouldn't work for me. I'm glad you like it, but for me, it's worthless if it doesn't cover the whole screen.

Tip, if you start screen protector from the top and work down using the squeegee provided then you can work out remaining bubbles with your fingers as long as you don't trap any dust under the screen should be bubble free

Did you use the plastic jig that came with it? Some of the TGSPs i've bought in the past for my S8+ came with a jig like that, but they always set the TGSP about a millimeter too low so it wound up cutting off part of the status bar. NEVER enough to matter, but was still annoying. How's the alignment with this one?

Yes I used to jig that came with it and IMO it is perfect it sits "right" below the selfie cam yeah I think I am set for screen protection for now may be I will re-review in a couple of weeks, see how it holds up.
Here are some more pics to show screen coverage. Again I am not a photographer lol I use the edge screen Sidebar a lot with no issues.
I've looked for the past 2 days now and I cannot for the life of me find a decently priced FULL ADHESIVE (tempered glass) screen protector. I ordered a "bubble free" and it looks like garbage, only the edges have adhesive so it's not fully on, it definitely was not tempered glass, and when it's off you can see the rainbow effect.
I'm just confused because the last phone I had was a Note 5 and it wasn't that hard to find a tempered glass screen protector, we didn't have "adhesive edges" back then so all you had to do was spray a bit of water and card out any bubbles. I just upgraded to a Note 8, is this really so hard to find?
I did check out Finally, Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note Post and they do not sell the same product anymore.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

There are some on Amazon(UK), but they're nigh on impossible to put on without creating bubbles.
Personally I prefer the end result from the ones that you don't like. Maybe I've been lucky but these are what I use on my Note 8, my daughter's Note 9 and my wife's S9. Never spent more than £2.50 on one.
What you realise with experience, is that these will crack sooner rather than later they're all the same bar a minor tweak, 3 - 4 months and you'll be replacing them anyway.
Save your money.
i use this and i am very happy..!
it is a uv glue tempered glass like whitestone but a lot cheaper. (i have used whitestone doom in the past and i put them in the same quality)

The one I ordered WAS from amazon, but it was complete garbage, imagine taking 15$ and just putting it straight into the trash can. Did you have any specific recommendation or..
I have spent well over $60 on screen protectors.. Given up.
So annoyed with the curved screens. May even change brand

Good luck finding anything that will come factory with "full adhesive" I have tried every type in the book short of the over priced white dome. I ended up finding a perfect solution (for me) though a 3D or 4D"d Temp glass protector as its advertised anyways... i think they're all pretty much the same at the point of "D" in the description but that being said they are only like 6 bucks a piece for a full cover option i opted for with out the whole top section cut out around the speakers and camera. They were only edged adhesive but the trick is to use the LOCA glue to adhere it to the phone... I am aware its for LCD screen repairs but if you get the 2500 viscosity its a lot thicker and it never fully cures even under a black light but it has the right amount of stickiness to stay on the phone seamlessly on my note 8 and have no popping or issues with input of the s pen, Its great! the corners dont lift even its on there good. Yes ive cracked and had to replace them before so i can vouch they are remove-able. I will add if they are on there a long time that around the bottom center where you usually touch the screen the most it can be a pain in the ass to get it separated.. Ive found that 91% rubbing alcohol and a fresh clean razor blade window scrapper lifts it off without scratching the screen. Hope this helps

Look for the one which comes with UV light and UV activated adhesive.
There is plain glass with back side laminated sheet which needs to be peeled off. A UV activated glue that is liquid and needs to go on the screen over which the glass is placed.
Then its all like spreading butter between toasts. You must apply little pressure so it spreads over entire screen then use the UV light to harden it.
Its the best i have found yet after nearly 10 screen protector. It need expertise and is not for the faint of heart. Good luck

I would have to say shy away from applying pressure as it pushes the glue out of areas causing an uneven layer of glue & possibly bubbles. If you put a 50 cent size globon one end of it and tip the phone towards the opposing end it will run down the phone and as your doing that you just let the screen protector drop onto the glue ever so slightly from one end to the other and just let it spread it will eventually spread every time if you use enough glue.... cover up your speakers with tape. Just my Insite an experience with using pressure and not using pressure. Otherwise good advice

Nice, i faced issue when i dropped glue and put on the screen guard. It never went till the corners, even after adding more glue in second attempt. So i pressed a little and it went all the way to the edges.
Maybe im dropping glue in centre. I will try your method of starting from corner next time. Thanks :good:

Out of curiosity can you take a picture of it after installation? Because those black edge lines make me skeptical.

I got mine today. The setup was easy. Lest see how this holds up. Im very happy with this product, the best that I've tried so far.
Everyone should really get this instead of the whitestone!

Do you use cases? Maybe you have alcantara and protective standing? Does this custom glued screen protector have any issues applying cases? Thanx
I don't like screen protectors but I saw prices for screen replacement in services - it's just crazy.

If you use certain cases yes they will have issues, actually at least half of the ones Ive tried have caused the protector to lift. Also the glue that i use is not made for screen protectors, its for LCD screens replacements. THat being said its just 2500 LOCA glue. You MUST buy the 2500 or higher cuz anything lower in viscosity will make it near impossible to remove when it comes time to change out the screen proector

Also the one case that i highly recommend for a glass screen protector and over all proection and looks, feel the whole 9 yards is the POETIC brand case Its perfect in eery way IMO.

I will second this. It can be a pain to remove some of the loca at times
I think some may have hard time to install due to space around the perimeter.
I have same problem but I use LOCA (I use Octopus brand for easy removal) to fill the space
Apply LOCA on the side and squeeze the space to let it in. It may take a while so please be patient.
Cure it with UV and remove the excess afterwards.
Clean the phone with microfiber cloth
A UV protector seems overkill. Phone has a flat screen. No need for the extra headache.

Uh what? UV is to cure the LOCA glue.

Using LOCA like this is kinda cool and novel.
But for a dedicated glass and LOCA kit: It's overkill. I have to be next to naked or in a humid environment when I install these. I usually have zero confidence unless there's a Whitestone rig or similar to manage the process. Even then, I ruined my McLaren selfie camera because the glue goes everywhere more often than not. Doesn't matter if I have excess glue pads. When a phone has a flat screen, you don't have to go through this madness. It looks amazing when you get it right, but it's never been worth the price and the cheap kits on Ali or Ebay aren't anymore appealing.

True, no LOCA needed.
This is without it... Just a normal screenprotector on the flat display
