Screen protector compatible w) otterbox defender? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

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

Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro

I've had my Ringke Fusion case for a while now and I wanted to try out new case like the Supcase with the buit-in Screen Protector. However, I have already installed a tempered glass screen protector on my phone. My question is, could I still use the case without using the built-in screen protector? I know there is another type of supcase case that doesn't have a built in screen protector but I just don't feel the clear back anymore. Hope someone would give me some info about my concern. Would highly appreciate if you give your thoughts about the case as well. Thanks!

I have this case. The built in screen protector looks easy enough to remove cleanly. I'd imagine the phone would fit, possibly snug, inside the case.
Do you have tempered glass installed on your N5X?
Hey, I don't have a 5x, but I have a 6p with this same brand of case, and I have it installed over my intelliglass tempered screen protector. I just took a razor blaze and removed the plastic screen protector from the case. As long as you don't rush it, it removes just fine without leaving any of the plastic screen behind. Fits great over the tempered glass too. I'm going to be buying a 5x for my mom soon cause she needs a new phone to replace her cheap $50 crappy straight talk phone, and I'm gonna be buying a tempered glass screen protector and i-Blason case for it (very similar to the unicorn beetle pro) and I'll be doing the same thing with that one.

Otterbox defender screen protector?

Has anyone found one that works yet ? I hear Whitestone dome is a no go.
Thanks

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.

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?

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho
Any you can recommend about $20 and under?
First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.
I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

thats becuz the neoflex is a rubber 3m film, not plasti-glass. i honestly like Spigen Neoflex screen protector. only downfall is using the pen on it leaves lines where youve drawn .. but cant be felt by your touch

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.
I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..
I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.
I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?
yes
I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.

Looking For Case & Screen Protectors For LG V60.

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.

Just got these, installed and now I cannot get my fingerprint to register. I deleted it retrained it with the screen protector on and still no luck.
Got these. Typically I steer clear of the screen protector film. I generally always go with the tempered glass screen protector. But since the fingerprint wouldn't work with the tempered glass and tried this film. See link below. Works great feels smooth like glass. Provides better grip also. I put one on the screen as well as on the back of the phone. I can open and close it with one hand now because there's a little extra grip on the screen. Fingerprint also works with these.

THX for the link, just ordered.
I typically don't use screen protectors at all, just the liquid sealers.
I'm actually more interested in using to cover the back of the phone.
Did you cut out a hole for the cameras,& if so, how did you go about doing so?
I plan on using my Spigen case to trace out & cut w/an X-Acto knife.
Considered getting a skin for the Galaxy S20/S20 + (closest I could find, dimension wise), but, it'd still need some alterations, so, I skipped that idea.
If anyone finds a bodyskin for the Wing, please post a link in this thread.

I cut a notch around all three cameras. I figured it would at least protect the back of the phone when I get my case. For now hopefully it'll help it not get scratched
Front screen, bottom screen, and back have the film on them... Liking it.
Has anyone found a tempered glass screen protector that the the finger print sensor works through?
I ordered a Spigen case from Amazon, but decided to upgrade to a better one I found at a T-Mobile store. I have AT&T and it didn't matter at all in regards to the accessories I got today. They also had a screen protector which I purchased as well. It's pricey compared to amazon, it has more support on the sides than the Spigen one does. The screen protector I bought wasn't an Invisishield, it's a Case Mate and it's working very well for me. Just wanted to thrown that out there in case it cam help anyone.
Is the Case-Mate a tempered glass screen protector or a film?
Thanks for sharing
There is a tempered glass screen protector on Amazon. It's made by UniqueMe. Only sticks at the edges, but fits well and wraps around the curved screen. Feels great to the touch. And touchscreen sensitivity works extremely well. Optically, I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
When installing, you need to line it up with the bottom edge of the screen so that there is a gap at the top. This is needed to let the light dimming sensor see out. Also, it is quite fragile. I dropped my phone into a soft bath mat and the screen protector cracked.
Already on my third UniqueMe. Fingerprint sensing works decently. You have to get the hang of it. If possible, definitely re-enroll your finger prints after installing the protector. Works much better that way.

I bought 2 from you. I like the idea but a hard rubber material would be much better than the plastic. Both of mine have broken from 1st drops. They did protect the front screen though.
