Has anyone had any issues using case-friendly glass/pet screen protectors with their UAG cases? I read some people complaining about it somewhere but I'm not sure if they're just being idiots and are having issues because they're using full-coverage screen protectors...
I think the only one that works is the Monarch. Not sure about the other two models. UAG is my go to case but wont buy it if it doesn't work with the screen protectors. I have a sup case that provides similar protection and works with screen protectors.
I'm using a UAG plasma and haven't had any luck with any tempered glass screen protectors I've tried. The corners go deep into the screen. I'm currently using an S8+ dry protector, which plays nice with the Plasma because it's short. But it's too short for the screen and I'm still hoping to find one that works.
I'd love to hear from you if you find a good protector that's compatible with the Plasma.

Even the case-friendly glass ones are too long?
Tempered glass? Yes. I've tried 4 that all haven't fit. I haven't tried wet apply protectors because of issues with the S-Pen.

Since consensus seems to say that the stylus does not scratch a naked screen, I was wondering, does the stylus easily scratch the screen protectors you guys put on?
Since screen protectors are plastic, they are probably softer than the naked glass of the note?
What screen protector did you use that got scratched/not scratched?
Have any of SGP screen protectors users gotten their screen protectors scratched?
Because it would get annoying to have a scratched screen protector when you are looking your phone everyday, might as well go naked if the screen protector would be filled with scratched just after a week of use of the stylus.
Thanks
The cheap Ebay ones I'm running at the moment are easy to scratch with the stylus. They're even getting minor scratches from finger use. Waiting for my SGP ones to show up. I'm sure they'll be better
i ordered a boxwave protector, and havent ordered from anywhere else since I ran into the ebay problem. It's not in yet, but I imagine it will be scratch free for a good while
I'm using the skinomi screen protector and it doesn't really scratch but leave dimples and marks because the screen protector itself is so soft. It will probably be the same result with zagg skins as well, I plan on getting a harder one like from SGP later.

It has significantly scratched my SGP Ultra Clear. I noticed this clearly yesterday while sketching.
my atfolix anti glare seems just fine. in addition, it is nicer to write on since it isn't as smooth. That makes it a tiny bit noisier, and as with any anti glare protector you take a little bit of a sharpness hit.
The latter turned me off initially but people still WOW over the screen so I wonder if the sharpness hit is part imaginary.
Sounds like the Note really shouldn't have any type of lcd protector on it.

By Ultra Clear, do you mean the Ultra Crystal?
That is exactly the screen protector I plan to get. Hmmm..
Do you now think that a note without a screen protector would be better?
How annoying are the scratches on your screen?

I'm using a case friendly skinomi HD clear. the matte fits as well but I didn't like it.

I got a zagg one from best buy. Expensive but zero problems since it's been on. The very edges have adhesive that is visible on the curved sides making a slight line. Not a deal breaker but it is there. No halo effect like I had on the note 5 protectors either. Expensive but I'm very happy so far.
Tech armor glass does.
The defender series for the note 8 works with the whitestone dome glass...

The edges don't stay down the best, but it works well with the Otterbox Defender case.

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.

Thanks I'll have to check that out
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?
Anyone who can recommend a tempered glass that will work with UAG Plasma case? Have the Spigen Neo screen protector at the moment.
TIA!

Thx for opening this topic, i want to know that, too.
amFilm for example isn't working. Returned it.
I want to order this case but want to make sure it's works well with glass screen protector.
works for me with minimal modification, it takes less than 5 min for a perfect fit

understandable, just showing the option and what it would involve/look like... from what i've seen the other protectors aren't as good due to them not having the curved protector and screen. i drive for ups on a rural route and constantly have to deal with dust from dirt roads, this was just my best option if i wanted to use that uag case. happy hunting and if you find a good one followup and let me know about it

Understood. I love the UAG case but don't want to alter it to make it fit. Had the same issues with the Note 7. I am currently using the sup case. It works well with the zizo glass screen protector. It had similar to UAG protection.
Here are some pics of the Sup Case.

The UAG Monarch fits the whitestone dome according to a video review on youtube. You must get the screen protector absolutely centered but it does appear to work in the video review. Same review shows that the uag plasma does not work.
What about the plyo series?
I'll be rocking both a Plasma and a Monarch depending on activity and I'm looking forward to finding a TGSP that works, too. I plan to use IQShield in the meantime.
Unfortunately the Spigen Neo film for the note 8 doesnt work with the UAG Plasma.. ended up trashing one of the films trying to make it fit.. the film was too thick and corners were too long to fit in the plasma..
The generic full coverage TG I ordered had the same issue.. I think its really the corners of the case that make it difficult to find screen protection for this case..
Here's the back
Yes, it seems like more protectors fit the Monarch but not the Plasma. I wonder if a case friendly IQ Shield would work fine. I have the Plasma already but am still waiting on both the screen protector and the phone.

I had a rural route awhile back when I was in package car at UPS so I understand your pain.
I've had 2 Zaags glass ones. There cap. Sensitivity is an issue as well as 2 have cracked. Phones been never dropped. I keep my phone separated with nothing else in my pockets

Ended up getting this.. a bit skeptical but its better than nothing for now I guess.. Didnt want to change my UAG Plasma at the moment so I guess this should do for now to prevent hairline scratches i guess..
Ever since I got my galaxy note 8 as the greatest x-mas gift ever, I've been searching for a compatible screen protector with the case I have right now. So far, I have an interest in rhino shield, b/c it looks like IT MIGHT be compatible with the otter box defender( the case I have now), but idk because I have no experience with any kind of screen protector with this phone. Of anyone has any recommendations for what screen protector I should get, please let me know.
P.S. I want this phone to look as perfect as when I first got it , so any screen protectors that leave a rainbow effect are a no go. Thanks for any input as it is greatly appreciated!
Do you want glass or a film protector? I have a wet-apply Spigen film protector for now and it's great with no rainbow or any other issue. I prefer glass, but the two I tried so far were horrible (Inskin and another brand I can't recall at the moment). Just ordered a Whitestone dome so we'll see how that stacks up. The Spigen film is a good backup option though.
I'm also interested in this.... I have the otterbox defender... dropped the phone yesterday. It must have landed on the corner of one of my steps on my front porch. Cracked the screen.
So I'm in the market either for some kind of really good screen protector to work with my Defender... or a new case altogether that actually covers the front of the phone, once I get my replacement.
Whitestone dome not compatible with Note8 and Otterbox defender - see youtube review

I saw a Youtube review that says Whttestone Dome not compatible with Otterbox Defender.
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]

I have the LG V60 from T-mobile this is what I got from Supcase on amazon, it has a built in screen protector. No need for tempered glass with this case, in my opinion. These cases won't work with it anyway, the tempered glass is too thick.

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.
