Well I don't know what are you doing with your phone but mine is like new! Also I don't get why a lot of people complain about the pre installed screen protector, it's great and best of all it's free!
Mine is still like it isn't there. The only downside is fingerprint sensor.
I've had my phone for just over a month and the original protector is perfect. I've had the phone in and out of cases several times and there is no peeling and no marks. It feels smooth, like glass, and is clear and clean. Like I said, perfect. ?
I actually bought screen protectors with the phone, unaware that one would be fitted already, and I've had no reason to switch. FWIW I'm also using the included clear case, even though I bought a few others. Goog job, Samsung.
I had a small tear, and I wanted to see if its glass or cover, - so felt the cover kinda coming off and had to peel it eventually. But it was kinda loose too
Pre- installed...Wait where they do that at lol

because customers were complaining about the screen saver scratching and some even sending their phones back over it. Also samsung would send customers for free replacement screen savers. Wasn't worth the hassle in this market for them anymore.

I'm not sure buddy, I installed one of those non glass ones yesterday after I received my U1. It's the type that is installed in two parts and no heat or water is needed. I believe LK and Qitoyo are the same, bought the latter it's ok. Good overage and smooth. 10$ three pack.

I was about to buy that one. But it mentioned it has some wings technology that wraps around the sides. That bit put me off a little. What's it like in practice?

It is great actually. The wings that wrap around go just a tiny bit towards the back glass and do not affect the look of the black glass. The wings also help secure the protector from lifting off the edges
I also put a skin on the back to get rid of the fingerprints you get on the black N20U .

I was looking for a topic like this haha. My one actually developed a few bubbles and I had to peel it off a couple of days ago. I received my unit in early September.
I am now struggling to find a good protector that works well with a case. Tried Ringkie but the protector was a way smaller than my phone!! Looks like it was a faulty batch. Tried another one - Apiker, and it peeled off when I putted my phone to my Spigen case despite Apiker advertising it won't.
I am now stranded in the middle of nowhere. Don't know what to buy to have a bubble-free screen and compatible with my Spigen case. Ordered the Spigen screen protector but it has mixed reviews...
I now regret I removed the original one.

Just get the one of the ones mentioned earlier to tied you over . They're a dry applied 3 or 4 stage peel type. I think most are made by the same factory. Leaves about 2mm on edges almost like the factory applied gap.

I couldn't find a single dry protector that would be bubble free and compatible with a case. No matter how hard I try to follow the instructions the protector either has bubbles/spots or peels off when phone is in a case. It just doesn't stick firmly. I will try my luck with Spigen wet protector. It should be compatible with Spigen cases as advertised. Already spent around 40 pounds on different protectors with no luck. I wish Samsung could offer the service for a fee. Their factory screen protector was attached perfectly.
I still have pre-installed screen protector on mine too and it's sitting well and is like new still.

Hi everyone.
Almost every other post about screen protectors seems to be for the USA.
What actual options do we have here in the UK?

Please do not merge this with the "master list" as that list is not relevant to us.
Sorry, what?
I've order mine from bestskinsever.com for two sets for under £11 including delivery

Just got mine from xtremeguard shipped from USA. Arrived within 8 days (quicker than the phone did!). It seems very good, although no matter whether wet or dry I am crap at applying protectors.
If LG hadn't put stupid power and volume icons on factory cover I would have been tempted to leave that on for a while.

Review of G Google Nexus 4 FULL BODY SHIELD Invisible Screen Protector Front + Back
I ordered the same.
Pros:
* It fits perfectly fine.
* Looks sturdy.
* Application was easy.
Cons:
* Not smooth for sure. rubbery feel is reducing the feel f the phone.
* Back glass doen't look as glorious as it could be.
* Considering the cost they could send a spray to make the application process easier.
I hope its helpful.
I've used Best Skins Ever in the past and they're good as far as wet application SPs go, reasonably priced and quick delivery from the US...

Guys I wonder if you can help, I need a protector that covers the whole screen, the two ive tried are approximately 5mm to narrow (same as the factory fitted protector) I take it the reason being its because of the curved screen, the protector would lift, if cut to the edge.
Does anyone know of such a protector that allows for the edge curve and fits perfectly?
Thanks

I'm wondering about that too, so far the screen protectors I've seen don't cater towards the rounded edges of the screen. Instead the tend to leave a blunt cut just before the screen curves.
I personally don't like those either. I was looking at Martin Fields protector as I had one on my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 and both worked fine. I am worried about the protector lifting though

I e-mailed mediadevil asking if they were planning on releasing one with oleophobic coating, got this response...
"I'm afraid we're unlikely to release an oleophobic version -- some brands do use this material, however it does not meet our standards for several reasons. First, this material often has a blue tinge, and we only sell protectors that are completely clear. Second, it is much more likely to experience the 'rainbow effect', and third, while it does show fewer fingerprint marks, it has also been our experience that the fingerprint marks that do appear are more difficult to clean.
If you have had a different experience with oleophobic screen protectors, we'd be very interested to hear about it, however at the moment we have yet to find a material that does not have these issues."

1. Clean the screen off (Make sure no dust, lint, etc are on the screen)
2. Don it on the phone and use the cam cutouts as guide.
3. I did get dust and lint after installation, I used clear tape to take off the sp a lil and used another tape to get those lint/dust.
viola..
took about 5-10 mins for me to install perfectly.
Screen protector and water
Hi Guys,
I bought a Krusell Frostcover and had a front screen protector installed today. I don't remember its brand, the shop assistant threw its packaging out. I remember it was sort of blue, and it had a microfiber cloth included...
I never had a protector before and I'd like to know how it reacts to water. I'm not planning to go scuba diving with the phone, but since it's water resistant, it will probably get sometimes. May it affect the film? Loosen it? Or no problem, unless it gets underneath it somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Its fine with a sp, i wash my phone once a week.. And all is well
So every time I purchase a new phone I go through the same process.
I spend a significant amount of money on a screen protector for it then to scratch and realise it's more effective to keep buying cheap protectors.
Well..... This time is no different, £30 on this screen protector. I have placed the phone in my pocket a few times where there is no grit or anything that should scratch the screen and it's got light scratches......
Never again :')

File a claim with them. They will replace it. Their customer service SUCKS at their best, but keep at them. You paid good money for what was suppose to be a good product. If people keep letting companies get away with this crap, companies will keep on doing it to you...

You can try keeping a tiny piece of anything on the screen(like a piece of tissue paper) to help the camera focus on the screen!
And try a halogen background lighting or you can first try using the flash to see if it brings out the scratches in the pic!:fingers-crossed:

Just because it's scratch resistant it doesn't make them scratch proof. I've seen a few gorilla glass products get scratches on them. You've just been lucky. The only reason I use screen protectors (along with a case) is for a higher resale value.
I have the Glass.tr and it now has a very faint crack going from the center of my phone to the sides.. I haave never dropped it. I think it happened in my pocket.. I think maybe me sitting down or something caused my phone to flex a little bit creating the crack.. which is bull.. it is suppose to be 9h or 8h.. flexing the phone a little should cause a crack.. I mean the gorilla glass didn't crack.. anyway I sent in a request for a new one.. lets see if they will do it.. my experience with spigen is they won't reply for like a week

You have it backwards, the harder the glass, the less stress it can take while flexing. Making it thinner also reduces its capacity to remain rigid, making it much easier to flex. The hardness rating is there to prevent scratches. if you want a flexible protector, go with a quality plastic.

links pls.
I have read through tons of the threads regarding the screen protector for the Note 8.0, and I haven't found one yet that meets what I want:
1). Oil resistant: the naked screen is REALLY good is resisting oil from my hands.
2). Won't scratch due to stylus use: I bought the Note for the Stylus and I use it extensively. Some screen protector I read got scratched with the stylus.
So if you have a screen protector, can you tell me your experiences?
This is what I learnt so far:
No plan to make one for Note 8.0
SGP Steinhell
XGear
Have bad oil resistant capability
iSmooth: more oil accumulate on the screen?

Know what you mean. I shy away from buying directly from China whenever possible mainly due to the incredibly slow delivery times. I took a chance on this and while I've not gotten it yet the communication from the seller has been pretty good! I inquired why the tracking wasn't showing and he investigated and replied twice in 24 hours. (Granted I "did mention" I was awaiting the item for an XDA review....)
Using a credit card usually protects one but the long delivery wait can be extremely annoying.
I had never ordered from them before and as it says in my thread, I was slightly concerned, but it came quicker than stated and is a really good product, no problems with the seller or the protector at all.

I have the TechArmor anti-fingerprint anti glare protector and it's great! Doesn't pick up oils, stylus works (and I like that it has a very slight texture to it giving a little feedback) and the anti-glare world's great! I have never been unhappy with Tech Armor... used it on 5 or 6 devices now. ..

Not sure if you ever got your answer from them but it does list Oleo phobic coating in the item description
Tempered Glass provides your device with the best surface protection without sacrificing the responsiveness of touchscreen. Despite its slim 0.4 mm glass base thickness, this transparent tempered glass is nearly impossible to scratch or penetrate thanks to its rating of 8-9H hardness, while its oleophobic coating offers resistance against smudges and fingerprints.

Fyi,I just bought the Green Onion knee, since it claim it had the olephobic coating.
It's only $8, so I have it a shot. Will report back soon.

Do you have a link for that price? I can only find much more expensive options

I bought from Amazon just 2 days ago for $8. But now I went back and it's $19.99?!
When I bought it, it was sold by Amazon, not some 3rd party seller.

You must have got very lucky then. I checked the same day you made the post and it was listed at $18 and change. I'll be keeping an eye out for it though. The skinomi I have is pretty terrible and needs to be replaced.

I think it was a price mistake from Amazon. I also thought it was a fake one sold by a reseller, so I checked the "My Order" page in Amazon and it shows $8 and "Sold by Amazon".
I'll update when I received the item today.
I got the Green Onion Oleophobic screen today (the $8 one) and I can tell you it is a GREAT screen protector.
It's quite easy to install and it comes with a LARGE dust cleaner screen to help with the installation. Aligning this big screen protector is a b*tch though. I still got a small bubble on the right side, but it's not evident since my Note 8.0 is white.
The screen protector feel very solid and smooth. It has the coating, as you can feel it when you run your finger on it. I like it more because writing with my stylus feel better and not too smooth, just enough for me.
I highly recommend this, though you may want to wait for the price to come down to $8.
UPDATE: This thing is a dust magnet!
Just stumbled upon this on eBay from a US Seller. Quite probably would have sprung for this instead of playing the waiting game to receive virtually the same product from mainland China. It's also listed about 8 bucks cheaper.
A real viable alternative IMHO.
Anyone noticed that the Note 8 comes with a preinstalled screen protector?!
I just noticed when I was peeling off all the tiny protection plastics like on the home button and camera lens that there was also something on the screen just to find out it was a screen protector
Nice!

Previously in this thread...
So has anyone used on of these TechPro protectors yet? I'm about to pull the trigger, but I'd like to see if anyone has any experience with them first.
I just put one on mine today. I like the way it fits almost edge to edge also come with Home button extension in several colors. I still get finger prints but I don't think it was as bad as before. Got mine from Amazon. No problems with the S-Pen and it's clear as glass I see no reason at this point to tell you not to pull the trigger.

Three posts up. Links to same product from both eBay and Amazon. :good:
Hi,
I've always used a screen protector on all my previous phones, i only take it off when i'm about to upgrade.
I can seem to find a good one for the galaxy s8 so i'm considering going without one.
Those who don't use screen protectors, are there any scratches on your phones?
Thank you!

This glass scratches easily for me. I went about 2 weeks without one. Being very careful I still found very small scratches.... Can't really see them without looking at a certain angle but definitely there. Go with an armorsuit wet apply. Just take your time putting it on and let it rest over night. Applied it with good pressure and it came out perfect for me. Don't even notice I have one. No lifted edges eaither.

My phones don't scratch. I don't really need a case or a screen protector, but there were times when I would put a matte screen protector(ArmorSuite) to eliminate fingerprint smudges. I don't keep my phones long enough to warrant buying accessories for it.

You can of course buy screen protector, it won't do harm to your device. It of course depends how well you take care of devices. For example one of my friends drops phones a lot or just while talking may hit it against some object(not on purpose). If my screen doesn't get scratched, I don't see a point in buying one. The longest I have used a phone is for 6 month(many years ago) and after that all of my phones were used no more than 3 months.

I wish i could afford to change phones that often. It would be like Christmas every 3 months.

I don't want you to get an impression that I am rich Basically what I do is: Buy a good phone of my choice(I buy mostly used in excellent condition), use it for few months and when you see something you like, sell it(I sell on eBay), then purchase another model with the money you got from selling your previous phone - this continues for many years. Just take good care of the phone(no scratches, marks...) and if you don't use accessories that came with your phone, then it is even better and you can get better price.

That's... A very good idea.
I personally don't bother with the screen protectors. I know some people swear by them though which is understandable as well

I am using and wasted almost sgd150 on many screen protectors.
I tried without for few days. Scratches are visible. Good to get protected.
I never saw the point in a screen protector. Gorilla glass is really hard to scratch. My s5 after over 2 years of heavy use only had a few very minor scratches, and the screen on the s8 is even less scratchable. Unless you regularly use sandpaper to navigate your phone, you shouldn't need a screen protector.

Lol on the sandpaper. Ive had my s8+ since April 19th and so far just two dry minute scratches, unnoticeable unless very close inspection.

I've had my S8 since it launched and I don't have a physical screen protector on it. All of my previous devices had glass screen protectors on them. Since this phone has curves I didn't bother with one. The TPU protectors I can't stand because they dent soo easily, and for me it's worse than having scratches on the glass. I have very minimal scratches that can only be seen in certain lighting which don't bother me at all. I decided to buy the Woosh Diamond Defence liquid screen protector after the scratches appeared to help reduce future scratches (also applied some on my camera lens). I've had it on for about a month and no new scratches have appeared (that I can see) so far.
I have a case. I tried a protector but like normal I got annoyed and threw it away. No scratches and I've had it for about 4 months now. I hate screen protector they make the phone look worse than if they had scratches so what's the point? It's like when people cover there couch with those ugly ass plastic covers.

This is the same screen protector I use on my S8+ and I have not had any issues with it at all
i'll be applying the Spigen Neo Flex to mine because people seem to have trouble with glass
i've noticed a tiny tiny scratch on the screen and my pockets are always empty
Anyone else kept that plastic protector that came installed on the phone?

This is the kind of thing that scares me. My Note 4 has seen heavy use for almost three years now and the glass is utterly flawless. Lot of these S8 threads have replies like "Oh I've had it a couple months it only has a few scratches on it."
I've always used glass screen protectors on my phones and it's kept them immaculate, but I've tried two diff types of glass ones on my S8+ and I just cannot get them to stay on for any length of time, so I'm going without which sucks,but what can you do?
