amFilm Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Full Screen Coverage, 3D Curved Tempered Glass, Dot Matrix with Easy Installation Tray (Black)

Update 3 I'm putting this back to a five star rating product. I contacted techmatte, and explained how I've had some issues with the protectors and they happily within a couple of days replaced every protector I've purchased. That's a great warranty that's great customer service and I plan to use this companies product on my future phones as well. Update 2 Well I have to drop my rating 1 star because I didn't realize that if my water resistant phone got wet water would get in between my phone screen and the screen protector. It's darn near impossible to get the water out so I had to take off the screen protector and since the adhesive is so strong on the edges (which is a good thing) the screen protector cracked. To bad that adhesive couldn't keep out the little bit of water that was on my phone in the first place, it's not like it was submerged or anything. It's still a good protector so I'm ordering my 3rd and hopefully last one now that I'm aware of the water situation. On a positive note, I did install the 3rd screen protector and it went on perfect just like the other two did and works flawlessly. Update: after almost 2 months I've ordered a 2nd one because I cracked the bottom corner of the 1st one. So I guess it did its job! This protector is still excellent imo. Looks good and touch sensitivity is great. When I took the cracked one off it was on pretty tight which was reassuring. The 2nd case went on just as easy and perfect fitting as the 1st. I highly recommend this protector. I've only had this for 1 day and so far so good! I followed the directions which are very easy to follow and makes for an easy install. Matter of fact it's probably the easiest screen protector I've ever installed including glass and P.E.T film. The protector looks good on the phone and so far it works perfectly! Touch sensitive is good, clarity is good and fingerprints wipe off easier then on the regular screen. Hopefully it will last! It fits perfect in my i-blasin case very. This is the first tempered glass screen protector that I've been able to use on a curved screen since the galaxy S6 Edge! No complaints!

This Tempered Glass Screen Protector is awesome for the following reasons: 1. It Fits Like a Glove. When used with a phone case, It covers the screen entirely, leaving little to no room for your screen to come into contact with something that might damage it. Some screen protectors I have seen, do not cover the screen's edges entirely. It is like trying to fit a bloody glove on O.J.'s hand. Not this Screen. A friend of mine for instance, has a screen protector on his iPhone, his phone fell and the phone's screen cracked because whatever it hit, just happened to hit one of the edges of the screen which the protector did not cover. This is why I was hesitant in buying screen protectors that cost $10 or less for a pack of 3. Be careful when trying to get the best bang for your buck. This leads me to my next point. 2. The price is right. I did not want to spend $50 for a screen protector like Whitestone Dome Glass or other brands which have mediocre reviews and a hefty price tag. Granted, I do not want to have to change a screen protector often but I also don't want to use special glue on my pristine phone screen on a $900 phone. I have tried screens that come in packs of 2-3 under $10, and most of them are cheap, small and don't fit right. I'm sure you can find decent ones that come in packs but i was wary of those. So I opted for this glass instead; $12 for 1 glass but perfect size; not expensive and not too cheap. 3. It is Fully Compatible with touchscreen sensitivity as advertised. One of the biggest issues with curved screens is finding a glass protector that fits right and works in every corner of the screen when you touch it. 4. It's Bubble FREE! I detest bubbles. This glass went on smoothly and I didn't have to smudge them away to the edges in an attempt to remove them. 5. Does it crack easily? I will not be able to determine that until i have had it long enough for it to come into contact with a jagged edge. However, every single tempered glass I have had, cracks easily. I am not willing to spend $50 to find one that cracks after 5 times of falling. You have to be crazy to think you will pay $12 for a tempered glass that will not crack at all. I'm sure it will crack easily but i don't intend to use my phone as a football. I intend to take care of it with a case and all. See this glass as an affordable insurance alternative. You pay $12 every time you have to replace the protector, or you can pay $10 a month for insurance, and a deductible every time you crack you screen. i prefer the former. This isn't the best screen protector, but the most important features are the fit and the touch sensitivity for a curved screen. If you have Note 8 and don't want to spend too much money, this is a good buy for you.

For installation process went smoothly you should give it some time and efforts. Prepare free space 1.5x1.5 feet room on your desk, clean it from bad dirt and dust, open box and put all components and your phone on that clean space. Bring Desk top LAMP and keep it turned on during whole process. Remove everything alien from your phone (case, cover, plastic films, etc) and clean it with soft napkin from dirt, dust, etc. If necessary use napkin with a little water (don't use any chemicals for cleaning at this stage). Give it time to dry out (if you cleaned with a water). Put away removed from phone parts and dirt/dust. Again check the working space: it should be clean. Wash your hands with soap so you can feel they are not sticky, dirty, etc. Give hands a time to dry out without towel (towel can have grease, dirt, dust, etc.). Open bag with WET cleaner and while cleaning don't touch phone on top or sides with a fingers - use fingers' nail at side of phone to prevent it from moving during cleaning. Clean thoroughly and look carefully not leaving even very small (o.1mm or less) dirty or sticky spots on phone's glass, even at side of glass! DON"T HURRY !! It will take a time, may be 10-20 minutes - depends on its condition, if it is absolutely new - may be 1 minute. This is most important part: if you don't have enough time - postpone it for later. If you believe it is clean: take a look at all surface slowly turning around phone (touching it at sides only with nail or, for example small screwdriver/25cent coin/etc) so that you could see reflected light from lamp on surface of phone. The surface should be smooth without any even small spots of dirt/grease/etc. If you see something then clean that spot again with WET cleaner. DON'T USE NOW ANY OTHER CHEMICALS OR WATER !!! Put WET cleaner back to its bag and bend edges of bag so it could not dry out any more - you may need it again until you finish installation. Now you can use DRY cleaner. Clean surface until it will look like polished surface. Put DRY cleaner back to its bag and bend edges of bag so it could not get dirty - - you may need it again until you finish installation. Now put enclosed plastic frame on top of phone (i believe it is symmetrical and you can't be wrong with which side is top and which is bottom) - it should go little bit down with slight resistance until its horizontal parts on top of frame at sides will touch the surface. Turn phone on the desk with a frame on it so, that its bottom was close to you, and its top (with camera lens) far from you. Take and Hold the SCREEN vertically by edges, not touching surfaces on both sides with your fingers, and remove its cover by pulling out small clear plastic label. Look at SCREEN - on top of that there should be semi-round whole (for camera lens) and round clear spot next to each other (at other side there are other clear spots too, but without whole). If not - then turn it around to this position (semi-round whole at the top), also the out-bend surface should look at you, and in-bend surface out of you: to phone. Slowly start putting it down to phone so, that its bottom first will touch surface right at the bottom of the phone and at the same time touching plastic frame at the bottom. Slowly start putting down opposite side of SCREEN, but CAREFULLY WATCHING that round clear spot and semi-round whole at the top of screen EXACTLY SIT on corresponding rounds on the phones surface. If you hope to put incorrectly and then to shift it - that may not work!!! Do that correctly from beginning. If , while putting down, you see that those places will not match each other - STOP IMMEDIATELY AND START OVER, otherwise you can get problem and will waste 100 times more time. If those places matched each other, take a look at left and right edges: if they are OK too - otherwise start over! If all that OK then holding phone and SCREEN together by 1st finger at bottom and second finger on top (don't worry already about leaving fingerprints) put 1st and 2nd fingers of other hand on the middle of SCREEN and with some pressure slide both fingers from each other along vertical line of phone/SCREEN. Then by 1st fingers of both hands do the same procedure horizontally starting again at the middle phone/SCREEN moving to the top, and again from the middle moving to the bottom. Now you have wonderfully sitting SCREEN terribly fingerprinted, wonderfully passing light from phone, and ready to give away its life for protecting your phone. I did that 1 day ago (NO BUBLES, thanks to my preparedness - no wonder!), nothing yet to say about its other features (protectiveness while falling from 20th floor to street, long of life, holding its position, holding stickiness at corners, etc) (that is why I gave 4-4-4 stars) - but sensitivity is almost the same (if not exactly the same), look and feel amazing (i.e. much better than my old plastic films from store bags), not dark at all, though did not try pen - will see how it will go. If something bad - I add it here. Have fun while you can! ------------------------------- Update: 04-09-2019: was fine, a little bit less sensitive screen. A few big cracks appeared (see pics) during 3-3.5 months. Though i work at field and phone fallen on ground/floor just a couple of times i still don't understand how so large cracks could appear on tempered glass. Now it has less sensitivity (especially for alarms: it does not response to touching "snoozing alarm", but ok for cancelling alarm (otherwise it would continue to make noise all days and nights). I remember from somewhere that it has warranty - is it applicable in my case? Thank you. This phone is too bulky and i should buy 7$ full manufacture protection from beginning or to buy regular basic Galaxy model. --------------- Next Update (a few days later: 04-11-2019): after upgrading phone software screen sensitivity restored to previous level even though still with cracked screen.

They provide an alignment guide. The instructions say, after putting the alignment guide over the phone, to put the bottom end pf the glass in first. I tried that, but the top did not line up, the holes in the glass did not align with the corresponding parts of the phone. It did not stick too tight, too fast, so I was able to take the glass back off, and place the top first, being sure everything aligned. It still was slightly awkward, because the width of the glass was very slightly too wide to fit though the alignment guide. I pushed one edge in first, then the other. Now it is in place, properly, and apparently it sticks well. I didn't take any stars off, because I liked that they tried real hard to make aligning it easy. But, it was not entirely easy. My case does fit over the phone, with the glass added. The description talks about an "invisible dot matrix". I can't tell, but it sounds like hocus-pocus-voodoo advertising to me. Anyway the glass does not negatively affect the touch sensitivity (that I can tell with 5 minutes of testing). The "bubble free" installation is correct. I've had other protectors on this and other phone that I never could get all the bubble out of. The curvature fits the phone just right. It looks good, clear and nice. The "oleophobic" coating does not stop finger prints, but it is easy enough to wipe clean. It cost twice as much(for one glass) as other offerings that offer 2 or even 3. I picked it because I liked the idea of the alignment too, having had troubles with other installations in the past. Not sure, now, if the tool helped enough to be worth the extra money, or not. But IT IS BUBBLE FREE - that is a big deal to me. It is in place, the touch works properly, and it looks good. We will see how durable it is.

Update #3: Painful to type. Hardly recognizes my touches. I'll be looking for something different. Update #2: After my last update the company sent me a new one for free. I finally put it on after having it for a few weeks. It works! I shattered the edge of it while clapping at a concert. I dropped it and cracked the center. Over time it has slowly cracked more and pieces started to fall off. I finally caved and have just purchased another. I'm typing on my phone before placing the new one and am amazed! The screen of my phone is unharmed. I attached a picture of the just removed cover. Crazy! I do think the first issue was user error. This second placement jas held up for nearly 10 months of torture! UPDATE: I hate this product. It is not glass. After popping it off I examined it closer since I didn't have to worry about avoiding the adhesive. I tapped it and it sounded nothing like glass. I cracked it and ran my finger along the edge of the 'glass' and what do you know, it's plastic. Now, I followed all directions when installing this product. I realized it was a little off and thought I could pop it off before I firmly stick it down. It was on there! I figured if the adhesive was that strong I'd better just deal with it being a little off (which wasn't noticeable, really). I spent time running my fingers along the edges to firmly press the adhesive. I also spent about 10 minutes trying to get the air out of the center thinking that was what was causing the rainbow effect. I gave up on both eventually. I noticed that when I tried to type in a certain spot along the bottom edge of the phone that it was not responding. I finally realized that I had to press firmly to get it to work. Which, I figured i'd adjust to. Spoiler alert: I did not adjust. I couldn't even use my phone. It was taking me twice as long to do things. When I grew too angry to take it any longer I popped it off. I slid my thumb nail under a corner and gently pried it off and to my dismay it flew across the table. I now see that the adhesive around the edges is not sticky. Scotch tape is stickier. I'm not sure if people are receiving different products. I don't know why this product has such wonderful reviews. It might be something I did wrong. However, I do think that the adhesive only being around the edge played a part in this not working. ************** Very easy to put on. However, using the even is painful. Even as I type this I'm getting incredibly frustrated. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep this on.

I have been a big fan of this brand of screen protector for a long time over the course of several generations of Samsung phones and all have performed flawlessly. I have to say that up front before saying anything about this note 8 protector. I am having issues but I don't blame the screen protector, I blame the phone and it's design. TechMatte has risen to the challenge of protecting a screen that wraps around the edges of a phone and have pulled it off quite well. The shape and fit of the glass match the Note 8 perfectly. They have added a new technology with these little bumps on the inside to prevent bubbling of the shaped protector as it is installed but I believe this is where design conflicts with function for both the phone and the protector. The length of the phone makes it so the device protrudes from any pant pocket. That fact and the fact that most of us will carry it in our back pocket on a less than flat part of our body means the phone will start to warp and twist over time. This causes two opposite corners to begin to peel, allowing dirt and debris to get past the seal and start to fill the screen as you can see in the photos. It is exaggerated in the photos because of the dusty environment in which I work and the fact that I have had it installed for about 4 months since I got the phone. The warping started to happen within a week of buying the phone. The dust build up and gap in the corners make the screen less touch sensitive in those areas and i find myself having to tap twice and press hard a third to get a reaction from the phone which is tough considering most buttons on the note are at the top right of the screen. Aside from that, the glass has performed flawlessly, no scratches, scuffs, dents, cracks as with all older versions . Maybe if they could get rid of tthe bumps and create a better seal or make the film a little more flexible it would get more stars because it does protect the screen. I just don't know what damage the dust has done until I remove the protector.

Note: Just installed this one. I will update if anything changes. This TG screen protector is hands down the best of the ones I tried so far. I tried 3 different tempered glass protectors after shattering my screen with just a case on it. The first was from best buy (Zagg) and it was alright. There was rainbow in the middle and it cracked after about 3 weeks of use. No big deal except it was so expensive. I can mail it back for a replacement which is nice. Had 2 others from Amazon that I bought to have on hand. Keiou one, which went on great with a small amount of rainbow in the middle, but it literally fell off last night while I slept and it rested in the charger. Installation was super easy with the plastic screen guide they give you, and it fit perfectly. I wiped the screen really well, applied the guide, dropped the screen protector on and applied pressure from the middle to the outside. There is no rainbow on this one so far, and it goes a little further towards the edge so it doesn't even feel like I have a screen protector on there when it is in the case (hybrid case with plastic back and rubber sides). My only worry is that the case may end up peeling the screen up because it does go right up to the edge of the case. I am not sure how well this will stay put with bigger cases that may protect the side of the phone more, but if you are like me, and want your phone to be as light as possible while still being protected, I think this screen paired with a hybrid case is the way to go. Some notes: This is a dot matric screen, but I really couldn't tell until I read it here. You can't see the dots unless you look from an extreme angle. It really does feel like a real screen. I hope it doesn't peel up on me. Also, if you use the guide that comes with it for installation, it actually fits around the camera, sensors, and led light perfectly. I am going to be buying another one today to have as a backup. This one is (so far) the one to get if you are on the tiresome search for a screen protector that doesn't suck. Update: After a a couple days of use, I can see some rainbow effect. So I have yet to find a screen protector that doesn't have that issue. That being said, the touch sensitivity, fit, feel, and clarity of the screen protector is still the best of any screen protectors I've seen yet.

This is the second screen protector that I've tried for my Note 8. The first was one of the soft "healing" screen protectors. I initially liked it ok, but it was slightly tacky, which took some getting used to. Then an edge lifted, and the whole thing peeled off in my pocket. Done. I decided to try this as my second protector. So far, it's worlds better. It is super simple to put on, and doesn't require any spray. Just be sure to use the included cleaning products to ensure that your screen is smudge and dust free. The guide that comes with this makes it nearly impossible to misalign. This was the easiest install of any screen protector I've ever purchased. The performance of this protector is also the best I've purchased. The screen response and sensitivity is better than the previous soft protector, both with and without the stylus. For me, it is identical to using the phone without anything on the screen. And you get that super smooth, almost oily feel of the naked glass, which for me is an added bonus even if it does make the phone slippery. With a good case, it should be fine. Speaking of cases, there is enough space around the edges that I wouldn't expect any case to catch an edge during insertion. With that being said, there isn't enough of an edge on the protector to catch my fingers during edge swipes. In case anyone is wondering, I am using a carved.com handmade case, which is thin, but I usually am pretty easy on my phones without hardly any drops. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself! About the only very very very minor con that I noticed is that the screen protector is not quite as crystal clear as the naked glass. This is an extremely minor complaint, and I would imagine that some people won't even notice. Not even close to deducting any stars for this. I can't speak for the durability of this protector because I've only had it for a short time, and I'm generally easy on my phones. If I notice any major issues, I'll post an update. Oh, and there is a lifetime warranty that will give you up to two replacements as long as you register within 30 days. That's about it. I hope this helps anyone researching a screen protector for the wonderful Note 8. So far, I highly recommend this one! P.S.- I've included a pic to show the coverage of this protector for those that are wondering if it will work with their case.
