Hello.
I have been researching a lot around this to find out if the Galaxy A8+ has any sort of Gorilla Glass protection on it but did not find any genuine answers. Some reviewers said it's present, some said it doesn't. Can anyone please clarify if it's actually present or not.
Thank you.

Do you guys use any screen protector with your ace?? And which one?
Sent from my Galaxy ace using Tapatalk
Mumbi screenprotector, die perfect fit, easy to install, and screen surface feels smoother with it.

See this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv4Llv3UedY
...and then to consider whether you really need screen protector for Samsung Galaxy ACE!
To say the ace screens don't use gorilla glass thats pretty damn impressive!
Check Corning's (Manufacturer of gorilla glass) website, they say Ace got their gorilla glass.

So there is no need to use protector?

I think YES!
I have my first scratch 2 month ago because of key..
for me it's still essential to use screenguard..
Got two little scratches, really dont know how that happend.
But a phone is for me an object of daily use, so thats not a big problem for me.
Maybe there's a difference between SGA that made in Korea and the one made in Vietnam?
I mean, Corning (the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass) itself said that Ace uses Gorilla Glass and I think the video above shows us enough about the scratch-resistance factor the Ace has.
Hmm strange :/
Using Gorilla Glas doesn't mean it's automatically absolutely scratch resistant. Even the oh so sturdy Defy can get scratches under certain circumstances, so I rather play it save and use a screen protector.

I was about to post same video
I've dropped my Ace few times and no scratches at all.
Does anyone know if the camera glass is made of scratch proof Gorilla Glass too?
I also agree with you.

Which screen protector do you use?

I'm using a screenprotector from "Muvit" for Samsung Ace and it works perfect.
I'm also using the rubber case from it.

Zagg invisible shield apparently there use to cover helicopter rota blades to protect them from sand
I could only find a universal one had to cut a hole around the speaker. To apply it you have to use a liquid.
I dont use it, the ace screen seems very strong.

I have seen this argument on many site.
I saw this and tend to believe it because its Which - an internationally renowned organisation for accurate reviews.

They quote it as gorilla glass.
Does anyone know of non-curved Glass protectors for the Edge?
It would leave the curve 'unprotected' but may not suffer poor adhesive properties of curved ones.
I've had one, looks horrible but works well
My issue with these Is how it would feel when using the edge Ux. I can't see it feeling great or working too well. I use the edge quite a bit.

someone have photos? thinking about one of this...
I was trying to find a full clear skin or wrap but can't find one that covers the sides as well. Slick wraps has a naked skin, but only covers the back.

I just picked up the same along with a easy on off case to protect the back similar to what I'm using now.
Got %10 off the screen protectors too

They cover everything, including the sides.

@billinaz thanks for the information. I ordered this to protect the Note 8 when I get it Tuesday. I'm a bit behind the power curve on accessories for the Note 8 as I was ramped up for the Essential Phone. However, that turned out to be a huge fiasco for me and still is for many others. Anyway, glad that is behind me and looking forward to give a Sammy product q try again as the last one was Note 4. Hope I can get used to Touch Wiz again. After Note 4 I went to Nexus 6P and then Pixel XL so I'm somewhat spoiled on easily rooted phones that get quick updates. Guess I'll just have to adjust to slower updates but hopefully a great camera and did miss the S pen. Going to try to go unrooted and see how it goes. If it goes bad I'll pass Note 8 to family member and pick up Pixel 2 XL.
I recently upgraded from my aging galaxy s4 to this beast, note 9. However I am not able to find a good quality screen guard either glass or film in India. I got 1 installed from a local shop in my location which is a tempered glass with glue only on the sides. Because it is not sticking fully the touch sensitivity was unusable but it was somewhat fixed by enabling extra touch sensitivity in settings. What is more annoying about it is their is always a line of glue visible on both the sides and because it is not fully glued it quite occasionally makes this click click sounds randomly when touching the screen.
Even those available on Amazon.in haven't got good reviews. Can any note 9 user from India recommend a good screen protector available here?

I also asked to my local shop but it is still not available here. Might be availability by Monday.
Anyone else from India who has got a screen guard installed on their note 9 device?

Water/dust would go in bet^n the glass and the TG when the phone comes into their contact and then other than removing it, no other option remains. It's kind of a "nature" of every TG where adhesive is on the borders and the screen is a curved one.

Except Whitestone dome glass which isn't worth spending so much importing one, NONE exists.
Several thousands I've spent ranging from 150 - 200 to 2000 throughout the years on dry/wet plastic protectors and on rebranded Chinese TGs offline/online to apply on these curved screens and none works flawlessly.
Wise decision is to opt for an insurance or buy the phone when Samsung provides one time screen replacement offer and then apply Spigen Glas. TR nano hydrophobic liquid coating on the screen right outta box to protect the oleophobic coating that actually works and superior to any plastic/wet protector imo. :good:
Anyone one else who has got a film protector installed?
