I had one of these left over from an S8+.
I needed "now" screen protection before going to the beach. On a whim, I "wet installed" it on the Note 8.
Darned if it doesn't fit pretty darn well. Top and sides are perfect. Bottom is a bit short but it doesn't really affect anything as it fully covers all the touchable areas. It also has rounded corners which don't really match the note 8.

If you have one and want to "wet install" it, tho that's not an official install method, it does work great. Squeegee out as much liquid as possible after install and it'll take 4-5 days to perfectly dry and seal.
Perfect? Nah, protective, heck yeah.
I have read this post and tried. God it's almost perfect, i have slice a 0,5mm uncovered because of a mistake. The most important thing is that S-Pen does not leave scratches and since it's a bit small my cover do not touch the protector. Got it a week ago and i'm loving this.
sorry for my bad bad english
I did this after trying 2 glass protectors and one wet-applying one.
And I am finally happy with this.
Hi.
Could you send any pictures with Samsung S8+ official screen protector on Note 8, please.
Why on earth do Samsung not make an official screen protector for the Note 8? Why do we have to fit a slightly smaller S8+ protector instead? Bizarre.
Does the S8+ protector need to be wet installed on the Note 8 or can you just install normally?

I know most of us (if not all) keep looking for that perfect tempered glass screen protector for our phones (not to mention that it has to be curved of course).
Today I received my Skinomi Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge tempered glass screen protector, and I'd be more than happy in sharing my review of the product.
Packaging:
Packaging is retail. I pre-ordered from their website directly (rather not deal with Amazon), and I got a cool coupon that saved me 25% .
What comes included is your screen protector, fiber cloth, alcohol cleaning cloth and dust lifter screen.
Installation:
I'm going to be completely honest here; This is my first time installing a tempered glass screen protector. Much less a dry installation. I've always used invisible shield for my previous devices so I was expecting a hassle. This was by far the easiest installation I've ever done. Super easy!
Fit:
The fit is not as great as I'd expect it to be. It doesn't cover the phone fully on the edges, you can still see some small space that's left uncovered (I've attached pictures for your leisure). I'm sure that I've installed it as best as humanely possible (actually quite proud of that haha).
The capacitive buttons on the bottom or probably my main issue; The cover completely warps them. The cutouts on the glass protector don't match the cutouts on the phone itself. This causes the buttons to look weird and warped when they light up. I personally don't care (now if this is a mistake and someone from Skinomi is reading this, then please reach out!), the case does what it's supposed to do, but I feel that it makes the fact you have a glass protector on your phone obvious.
Feel:
The protector feels great, you really can't tell there's something on top of your screen. Touch sensibility is weird around the middle towards the left edge on my particular protector (I do have to press slightly harder in order to get a response), but I'm having that after 24 hours that problem clears out.
Final thoughts:
I actually like the protector overall. It's not bad for the price I payed (although I was expecting a better fit for the buttons and a better fit around the screen itself). I'm guessing that as long as the screen protector doesn't come off like the Spigen one I would consider myself happy.
I know the pictures are not the greatest, but If you guys want better ones or different angles or something just let me know!
Hope this helps!
Are those glittery specks permanent?

Yes they are.
I own this as well. My personal take on this is 7/10. Only thing that bothers me is the edges.... How they aren't as sensitive

Exactly my thoughts. If the edges were more sensitive, I wouldn't care about the rest.
I'm very impressed with this tempered glass. SGP use to be my favorite for all my devices but I'll start considering Skinomi tempered glass going forward.
There are some sensitivity issues on the left side but hopefully that will go away once the glass settles in and will report back if it does or doesn't go away later in the week. What I mean is that I would have to press harder than normal.
Here is a pic with the glass before installation. I just realized I still had the clear plastic covering my lens after I took this picture and will add a few more pictures with it being installed once I borrow a colleagues camera phone.
It looks so beautiful once installed and no bubbles like the SGP curved one. TBH, hyped went away once I started to get sensitivity issues on the left hand side and hopefully it will go away after a few days.
EDIT: after re-aligning the glass, I don't have any sensitivity issues anymore. You might have to re-aligning it a few times if you're off. Don't worry, you won't lose any stickyness. This tempered glass is worth buying IMHO.
Broke my OP3 TGSP today and need one quick, I'm clumsy. Seems like I remember reading on here that s7 glass works just as well.

Are you out of mental state? I don't know about the s7's glass but instead just order new and wait for a couple of days
Just go naked. Haven't had a screen protector on any device since my droid x ages ago. Same with OP3. No issues.
The S7 is shorter and narrower than the Oneplus 3, any screen protector is going to leave noticeable gaps.
The S7 edge has edges that are significantly more curved than the OP3, it's definitely not going to fit properly.
The only part of the S7/edge that fits the OP3 is the rear camera lense, which the two happen to share identical dimensions. That's what you probably heard before.
A new comer to Samsungs, can anyone tell me please if S7 non edge tempered glass screen protectors fit the Edge? Tried a curved one and don't like it, And I won't be using the Edge stuff anyway... I just want one that fits the flat part, with good chamfers on the edges.
EDIT: Actually, looking at the way the edge curve goes quite a long way in, I suppose this isn't going to work. So it's the first of many Android phones I have had that I'll have to run without a protector.... I always say that one should always have protection available..
There are some that works but I would like to know as well

Real tempered, no curve. No touch problem and it's cheap. No scratches and almost 2 months of usage.

Thanks, just ordered a couple. Hopefully, it will have that satisfying darker line moving down the screen as it attaches itself firmly all over!
Anyone else not using anything on the screen? Seems to be a shame to cover it...
I haven't used a screen protector on my last 3 devices. V20, Pixel, S8+.. Granted I only have my phones for 1 year max and haven't had any screen issues related to scratching etc.. Just don't see the need for one ..They look like crap in a month or two IMO and just get in the way.
Always put a skinomi screen protector.
If i scratch the sides the sides or back im ok.
But if the screen scratches im stuck looking at that forever. With a protector i can pull it off and get a new one.
So i always put a screen proector on , but might not always use a case.
I have the Ringke slim without a screen protector. i did the same with note 7 and did everything to scratch it while in my pocket, couldn't do it.
I am not using a screen protector. I have not used one on my last 3 phones and have not had any issues with my screens. These screens nowadays are pretty scratch resistant. Unless you are very ruff on your phone. On these curved screens they don't look good. But I always use a case. The slimmest case I can find.

I didn't use one on my Note 3, or this Note 5 and the screens have been just fine like you said, though I try to take care of my stuff so if someone is super abusive to their phone they might still benefit from a screen protector I guess. Compared to the last phone I used one on (Galaxy S3), there are a few tiny micro scratches visible at certain angles but overall not bad and those don't justify the inconvenience of having to deal with a protector in the first place, to me at least.
I always use tempered glass on my phones. One time, I dropped my Note 4 on concrete and it landed face down. The tempered glass was all cracked..but it saved the screen.
Considering all of the trouble to get a decent curved tempered glass screen protector for the Note 8 (most are either crap, cost too much or don't work with cases), I'm seriously considering just putting my Note 8 in the Spigen Slim Armor case and not bothering with a screen protector at all. I've never dropped my phone and always make sure that the pocket with my phone in only contains my phone, so my use case might warrant going without a screen protector.
I took the leap and decided to go with Nano protection this time. I hate using screen protectors for the very reason that it just never looks perfect. I put this on both sides of the phone and was able to use it 5 minutes after installing and it fully cured in 48 hours. My S8 plus was full of hairline scratches after the first few weeks. I'm hoping that I don't have the same result with this liquid protection. I'll give a full review in about a month.

I used that on my Nexus 6 because you could not find a glass protecter that fit right and it worked great. I ordered some for my Note 8. By the way the Nexus 6 was a great phone. I never got tired of using that phone. But I had to get the Note 7. But yes it does work. It is not going to protect like a glass one for drops. But it does protect from scratches.

That's good to know. It's my biggest pet peeve.
I can't bring myself to put a screen protector on it yet. I didn't have one on my Note 2 or 3, and they both survived. I'm sure I'll change my tune soon, though. The price tag wad too high to not protect it!

Get the Nano liquid screen protector.
No screen protector for me. Speck presidio grip case is amazing as usual.

Wow, is that legit? It looks incredible! I could coat both sides and not even HAVE a case on this gorgeous phone.

I put it on both sides. I do have a thin case on it. But I do not have a screen protector on. It is not going to protect as good as a screen protector. But for those small scratches it does work. I had it on my Nexus 6 and it worked good. They do have some cheap ones that I would not buy those. Here is the one I got
My worry is using S Pen with Note8. To be honest, I have not used any screen protectors with last few handsets, and I haven't had any issues, but this is my first Note device with S Pen and just wondered if anyone had an issue of dust particles getting caught under S Pen and scratching the screen.
But than again, I may be over thinking as chances of dust getting caught under finger is the same.

The spen limits you to a glass protector. I have tried damn near every non glass out there and they just don't work with the spen at all. That said, like others have mentioned glass ones for curved screens are hard to find.
Sand...... That's it, the only thing I have found in normal everyday use that cause scratches on the screen. The finer the sand the worse it is. So I do my best to keep sand out and the s7e I use for a year has no scratches.
Will be going naked on the note 8 unless that Whitestone dome really is as good as everybody says.

This is the new galaxy note 8 cover from Spigen, does anyone got this? This is still unavailable in Europe.
Someone who own this could tell if you have any touch issue? Thanks in advance
its on amazon for only 17.99. see if you can order it through there instead.
I had the spigen glass protector with a different case, the 20 minutes the protector lasted on the phone I needed to do everything 3 times to get a response. Protector came off in my pocket, cut the lining of my suit and scratched me. Spigen didn't even respond to me via amazon when told. I have bought spigen for years, never again.

I just got mine in today. I have a black Note 8, but got the deep sea blue case to add a bit of color to my life. The color is awesome, the fit of the case is great, but the screen protector is just okay. It took a minute to get it aligned properly, but it definitely feels like the touch sensitivity is worse and catches finger prints and smudges pretty easily. I typically don't use screen protectors, so it's a big difference for me. If they had an option for the case without the screen protector for a cheaper price, I would've gone with the case only, but since the screen protector came with it, I figured I'd give it a shot. If things don't work out, I'll just peel off the screen protector. The case is awesome though, I'm coming from a Speck presidio grip case, and am very happy with the Spigen 360.
Thanks for the info. i guess i'll take it asap. It just need to pop on amazon EU
Got my case today. I like the feel of it. Super low profile. Only thing I don't like are the connection joints. Some of them are flared out slight. Must be the material.
For the screen protector. I used the diy loca glue technique. I had extra laying around from my whitestone. Looks very nice. Have two bubbles but they are not in my "normal" touching zones and should have no negative effect. I'll post pics shortly
