Found these Halo HD screen protectors on Amazon. Come with 3 to a pack and only $5.95. Installation is a snap, and they feel very similar to glass. Very smooth, not tacky and no fingernail indentions. As with all of these dry protecors, they do not cover the entire screen due to the rounded edges, but they do have the cutouts for the FFC and sensors.

Forgot to mention that they also send you another pack of protectors for free just for submitting a review anywhere on the web.
So a lot of these amazon reviews are just there to get a second pack?
Not saying that the product isn't any good, but it still makes me suspicious concerning how much you can trust those reviews.
I have a pack of these. They seem ok and you sure can't beat the price. For this price if I get any scratches or edge lifting I have no problem installing a new one.
Agreed, but to be honest, the instructions do not require a positive review. And furthermore, the insert within the packaging said I have been "chosen" to receive a free pack which leads me to believe that the offer is provided randomly.
All things aside, I have been very happy with my purchase. Even without the free offer, I still got 3 screen protectors for ~$6.00.

Of course they don't.. but as the person doing the review, you would still think that a positive review is more likely to get you a second set.
I get that positive reviews are extremely important, I just think that incentivizing them in this way is less than ideal.

But as I said, all that is required is a link to your review and the code listed on the package insert. If anything, they are incentivizing reviews in general and word of mouth.

I am looking for a dry applied with oil resistant,
does this really resist oil?
(I don't want a matte tho)

These are gloss but they do not have an oleophobic coating.

I got 3 of these in the MATTE format and they are very good. I paid only 3$ for the set of 3 but since then they have increased the price to 5$. But still its a very good choice.

They don't require positive reviews. I had an issue with a faulty pack a year ago and left a bad review. They sent me out a replacement for the review and even sent out an extra pack to make up for the trouble. Never even asked me to change the review.
Seem pretty honest and it seems like they just want to get the word out. If you want to see some fake reviews, go look at some other protectors on amazon where the product is all 5 stars.
How would these compare to SGP protectors?
I have the matte of this brand on my phone right now and I absolutely love it. Definitely would not have left a 5 star review if it wasn't deserved. My friend bought the clear ones and gave me the other two although I didn't need 'em, but from what I could tell from seeing and testing it out on his phone, they are of the same high quality as mine. Definitely happy with this product, I got 'em when they were only $3 including shipping though.
I just replaced my halo with SGP. SGP is really nice..... But halo is a bit better. Halo Is slimmer and wider so it looks less noticeable on the phone. Even though the SGP is not as wide, I still have a slight issue with it not wanting to seal on some corners and the edge. Nothing crazy, but again not as nice as halo.
Clarity Is about the same. I would say that the SGP is a tad bit clearer though. Not very noticeable though. SGP feels fairly awesome though. More like the glass. Halo does feel fairly similar.
SGP: tad bit clearer MAYBE, little thicker, feels great.
Halo: covers more screen, slimmer, feels great, cheaper. No lift issues.
I am going to keep my SGP on only because I paid for it band I live the way it feels, but I'll definitely be going back to the halo at some point.

May I ask if the matte screen protectors are oil and finger print resistant? And is it possible to post a pic of the phone? I want to compare how much of the screen it covers versus the SGP. I am planning Oleophobic ones but if it this looks more "invisible" that the SGP's, I'd rather have this.
Thanks!

Oleophobic is clear one with layer of fingerprint-proof that will NOT affect the screen quality (as they said)
matte will always downgrade the screen quality

I've had the Halo clear protector for a couple of weeks and I've been happy with it. I'm getting good protection, a clear view of the screen behind it, no rainbow effect or anything like that. Other than in direct sunlight, I don't feel like I'm looking through a screen protector. And in sunlight, I don't know that I'd be seeing much more without the protector. It does take on fingerprints, but that's no surprise.
I found the installation to be very easy, easier than I'd expected. I got it on in seconds and worked out the air pretty effortlessly. About the fit, only a hard protector could cover the whole screen because of its curvature. This is not news to anyone reading these topics here. This protector is just a tad too wide to get a tight seal on the sides, but it comes closer top and bottom. I'm referring to tiny amounts, like 1mm. It's a non-issue to me as long as it doesn't cause the protector to peel back, which hasn't happened at all so far.
Hard to beat the price on this. I'd do it over again without a second thought. I'd considered the SGP and Martin Fields, but to get 4 protectors for this price makes this a no brainer. It's hard to imagine those protectors being that much better, if they're any better at all. And at the low price, going through a few over time is harmless, if it even comes down to that.

I have SGP as well and I actually like these better. While both are fingerprint magnets because of the type of SP that it is, Halo feels more "glassier" if that's even a word lol, than the SGP.
Plus, at fraction of the price and you get 3 of them, it's a great deal.
I've mentioned this on a few threads but I thought I'd share this product with the forum. I have no connection to the manufacturer or this retailer at all. I'm just a customer.
Cybertech 0.15mm Flexglass screen protector.
I searched for the thinnest glass protector that I could find, some were 0.3-.4mm thick. I just saw 0.15mm (about 0.006") and actually didn't notice that it was "Flexglass" and not true glass until recently..
While the thicker glass ones should be better at impact protection, screen scratches are really my concern. After about a month it is doing great with no noticeable scratches. Being plastic I expect that a scratch is likely at some point. It is somewhere in between glass and film style protectors. I has already lasted longer than some pricey films did, and I dislike the marks that fingernails and styluses often made on films, I have a actual glass protector on my Nexus 7 and it feels about the same.
Installation was easy and so far it has remained adhered. I did the tried and true steamy bathroom install to avoid dust specks.
I didn't check it with calipers or anything but 0.15mm seems about right by feel. It doesn't sit above the chrome trim edge at all. It's very thin; it was flexible with a silicone(?) adhesive.
I'd post pics but it is nearly invisible so what's the point? :cyclops:
For &6.49 with free shipping they are so inexpensive I'm probably buying another one just in case. I think I paid a little more a month ago.
There is a suspiciously detailed negative review by a user with only that 1 review. You can make your own call on that...
My experience has been the exact opposite. It feels similar to a bare screen to me.
If anyone else buys/has used it please chime in...

Yeah that's my thought about it too, for the price it is worth a try. I'm not rich (a wage slave actually) but I'll throw $10-$15 at anything I like the sound of without regrets if it lets me down. But I've seen $0.99 apps get people all steamed up so maybe I'm too easy to please or not frugal enough. Or maybe the internet just tends to bring out the whiner in people.
I've paid $20 for a skin that I peeled off within weeks so I'm pretty stoked to still use this. It has already proven to be worth it's price by my measure.

Why not just write a review on Amazon.com to help more people? You could simply copy and paste this review over.
I am the kind of person who prefer to buy a good screen protector/case then use it until I sell my phone. My last screen protector on the Note 2 has been lasted over a year and still perfect. And it's a non-glass type just the regular plastic film.

I always had issues with films, particularly on my Notes. The stylus would leave marks in the films and make weird reflections. I actually rarely used the stylus for that reason. I've had Zagg and a few other $ brands over the years with varying degrees of happiness. I'll see it this thing lasts.
As for a review I may do just that; don;t know why I came here first. It's kinda been the home of all things Android to me for years now I guess
Looks like gorilla glass 5 scratches like no other, so I figured this thread could help others with reviews and recommendations. I saw gpel made an all clear cover, and there's a few similar ones on Amazon. I'll try to update as we get some more time to check quality.

I'd personally go for a slickwraps or dbrand skin for the back of you don't like cases. It'll protect it, and you can get something like a leather to still keep the premium look.
thank you for thread , i hope we found soon good protectors
I hope someone will test out some of the crap on eBay, because I sure as hell am not going to pay 50+ dollars for a screen protector.

Hi Y´all!
I ordered this one yesterday:
https://shop.brando.com/brando-workshop-full-screen-coverage-curved-glass-protector-samsung-galaxy-note7-transparent_p14575c1547d8.html
I´ve had good experience with Brando for the screen protector for my old trusty SGN3.
But the shape of the screen on the SGN7 has got to be a challenge.
On a flat screen a 10TH of a mm / 5 100TH of an inch doesn´t matter.
Here the shape has to be just right for the sticky coating to make a bubble & distortion free experience.
I saw a screen protector review on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXq0ewUJtU
This product tried to handle small differences in curvature etc. by only applying sticky coating on the edges.
I would have to agree with reviewer. That doesn´t work.
With 20/20 hindsight I might have thought to ask Brando about this before making the order - Oh well :fingers-crossed:
Regards
Elo
Can't wait to see the results!!

I ordered the same one. Hopefully it will work well.
On the other hand, I currently have a Skinomi one on mine (wet application). I'm using masking tape to hold down the edges as it dries and adheres. So far it's almost invisible because I took my time. No rubbery feel either. If my case works well with it I might not even install the glass one.
Leaving the plastic sticker on the back glass for now, though.

Lol I meant to write "whose owned". Just got up, sorry.
Either way if I see the screen protector has that tape only on the sides I'll probably just return it.
So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.
However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.
I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.
Anybody found a screen protector they like?
watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device

Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.
The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.

I just installed this Screen protector and I have to admit that it fits very nicely. No air Bubbles or anything.
Unfortuanely, i can confirm the amazon Reviews, that the Touch responsveness is pretty bad

Thanks. Looks like it'll be a return to amazon then. Maybe I'll go back to film instead of glass. I saw one on ebay for $3.
does it fit even w/ the case on?
I'm looking around for a tempered glass with decent touch responsiveness. do we know much about how well WSD will protect the screen vs other protectors? it costs quite a pretty penny. i was wondering if any of you had experience with cheaper ones that'll offer the same level of protection? this one (https://www.amazon.com/LK-Protector...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YX5Y8Z1JQ3BMGQX5XTF8) is quite highly rated at amazon and has a fakespot rating of A. anyone tried it out?

The link you provided is a product that only has adhesive on the sides, don't waste your time there will be an air gap and the screen responsiveness will be garbage. Like you said those reviews are fake and you would be wasting your time and money if purchased. Yes the WhiteStone dome is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have had mine installed since Launch and not a single issue, it looks and feels like there isn't even a screen protector installed. For a product that could potentially save your phone from breaking, why skimp out? Would you buy cheaper tires on your car that are much more likely to fail? No.
I do believe that the Whitestone is worth the price.
I have been using tempered glass screen protectors for a few years now and the Whitestone is much easier to install, bacause of the jig that comes with it.
I have installed the Whitestone on two Note 9s. One for the wife and mine.
The only issue I have is a minor one. It seems a bit of excess glue is around the edges and atractslint from my pocket.
The coverage and feel is awesome.
Once you buy the full kit that includes the UV light, only the replacement kit is needed for any other install or phone. The replacement kit comes with the jig, but not the UV light.
I refrained from purchasing a phon ewith a curved screen until this type of screen protector was available. I refused to deal with the ege only attached protectors.
It is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend it. After all, you are protecting a thousand dollar phone. Twice what I've ever paid for a phone.
My experience with the whitestone: It is ok if you dont mind the sharp edges when you swipe from the sides. In my case, air bubbles started to appear at the right edge. Whitestone sent me one replacement which I am trying to sell, because I don't see it working in my case.
Pros:
Clear;
Sensitive;
Warranty (although you have to pay for shipping);
Cons:
Sharp edges;
Air bubbles appear at the edges after some time, 2 months in my case;
The adhesive left exposed at the sides attracts dust/lint;
how do you get the glue off when removing? I bought a twin pack but the first is quite scratched

The glue is attached to the glass, not your phone. Once you begin peeling the screen protector off you will notice the glue is only on the screen protector and your phone is left clean.
does the whitestone dome work with the Note 9 included case? as im fairly happy with the included case for now, but i wanna get the dome screen protector if its compatible.
What is the included case? In my country there is no included case, but it is compatible with the samsung silicone case.

Oh what?! I didn't realise that. Well in Australia it comes with a clear rubber/silicone type case inside the box. I believe it's the same one samsung sell on their accessories page. So I guess it'll be compatible then, sounds like the same one you're talking about. Thanks

I think it's worth the premium. Been using it since S7 days and installed, I think 7, on friends/family phones. Killed itself for 3 displays from drops so far.

You're welcome!
A benefit of the vast research, conducted for the purchase of A Note 9 for the wife. Thru that and setting it up for her, I was so impressed that I got a Note 9 for myself. The 8/512 version, of course.
My first non rootable phone in about 6 years.
I am digging it!

I was really hesitant on spending $40 on a 2 pack of tempered glass. But after biting the bullet i couldn't be happier with the glass. It fits and feels great. Doesnt disrupt the touch sensitivity and keeps the premium feel of the phone. I hated that the cheap ones that only have adhesive on the sides and dot matrix on screen made the phone feel super cheap because it felt like you were touching a plastic screen.

be careful, however, if the phone falls and hits the glass film, it does not protect the display and breaks, it happened to me on note 8.
In other words, it protects only from the graff.

No tempered glass is going to protect your screen from cracking. It helps but doesn't prevent it if the hit/drop is right.

If you want a tempered glass screen protector then the only option that works well (IMO) is the Whitestone Dome. The issue is (and I've tried many times) with Whitestone Dome is that the sides of your screen protector may get tiny bubbles even after you think the install was perfect. Mine showed up after a day and spread to the enter left and right side of the protector.
