Anyone here use the phone naked or film protector? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Anyone here use the phone naked ( without the case ) or at lease with full body film protector? I am thinking to go case less because it adds weight and takes away the natural design/feel of the phone.

I use the phone with a slim case but to date I have not been able to find a screen protector that works. I am finding the tempered glass is far from perfect and leaves a very small pocket of space between it and the glass making me have to press harder in some areas to get the screen to respond. I hate to do it but I think I will have to use my S8 with no screen protector until someone can come up with a tempered glass protector that has glue all over instead of just around the edges.

I'm running an IQ Shield full skin. Fitment is spot on. It's got Front, back and all the sides covered.
Whitestone Dome Glass is a glass protector with adhesive all around. It's a complex process to apply, but if you get it right, it works. I have one here, but I haven't applied it. The glass is case friendly and covers slightly less that a full screen. I may use it at some point, though.

I generally always use phones naked out of appreciation for the design.
Too bad there's still no tempered glass protectors for curved screens so it's kinda risky..

Currently using naked and I find my finger gets sore from holding at bottom of phone by using one handed from the usb port so will be putting my case on soon for comfort.

[Q] Screen protector to cover the WHOLE surface?

Hey guys, so I just got my membrane screen protectors for the nexus 4, installation was pretty quick and bubble-less. I noticed tho, not all of the surface is covered.. just the screen. The edges and the other parts of the frontal glass are not covered and therefore scratch-exposed. I googled a bit and found out there probably is no screenprotector which allows FULL cover of the surface.
Can you guys confirm? I think these Membrane protectors I got are just bad.. crazy cheap price for 6 protectors. They are crystal clear tho.

It has a slight curve at the edges which doesn't allow for complete adhesion, and at the top for the camera and prox sensors need to be open...so someone decided.

Thanks man. So which protector covers more?
I always have taken my phones to Ghost Armor, they cover everything for $40. They'll replace all of it for $10. It's almost rubber feeling but it's crystal clear.

$40? That's a lot for a screen protector. I'll just stick to Membrane protectors
To anyone having tried both Membrane screen protectors and Mediadevil protectors, which one is the best? My membrane protectors get veeeery dirty with fingerprints and crap, and cleaning up is not that easy. Crystal clear tho.
The screen protectors have to expose a few essential parts like the the front camera and proximity sensors etc. I don't see what the problem is as just about all of them cover a large percentage, unless you want to paint the phone in wood gloss.
You can use Skinomi wet screen protector and it seems to have a larger surface area and curves around the side edges of the phone. But that expose the screen protector to cases, when you put a case on, the case edges will dig into the screen protectors and lift it up. Skinomi is pretty good with resisting fingerprints and smudges for me.
I'm currently using the "iloome tempered glass" and the only thing it exposes are the front sensors.

Ordered a couple Mediadevil today from Amazon, in a week or so I'll get them. Don't mind if it doesn't cover the entire surface (btw I knew FFC and proximity sensors don't have to be covered).

[Q] How to get rid of bubble on tempered glass screen protector?

This is the first time that I've ever used a tempered glass screen protector and for the life of me I cannot get bubble out. Rest of screen is smooth but the only two bubbles. One on the edge of the button and another on the edge of the phone.
Any suggestion ?

Is the protector actually made of glass??? If so there is nothing you can do as two areas are lower that the protector and it is not flexible enough to be pulled down by force of the static adhesive.
I have seen the glass screen protectors often recently. I want one for my S4 and Note 3 after seeing that they do not exhibit the 'rainbow effect' issue which is HORRIBLE under typical office lighting.
With the standard type screen protectors (plastic/flexible), including the Moshi iVisor I have on my Note3, and super-crappy no-name brand I have on my iPhone 5s, I use a super-heavy-duty extra-large freezer bag and my industrial shop vac to suck out the air. Removed ALL air bubbles from both with this method.
Installed screen protector 'lightly' with no squeegee or pressing, I placed it in the bag. I made a hole in the bag (zip-lock is fully intact and sealed) to insert the vacuum hose (tight fitting), and let it run for about 2-3 minutes while 'smoothing out' the protector lightly through the bag.
End result: ZERO air bubbles on both devices.
If the adhesive is no longer sticking (based on the pics you posted), you may need to remove, lightly wash the adhesive portion with dish soap + water, then re-apply if it is even possible to remove the glass protector without breaking it.

This worked amazingly for me!
Slowly remove the case up untill the air bubbly is not scene then quickly as fast as you can close it back up and slide your through the screen upwards or downwards depending in which way you peeled it off from. All the air should go at once.
Could the case be putting pressure on the protector and causing it to lift?
You could try removing the case, lifting the protector a bit and then press it back down.

Do you use a screen protector?

I still have the screen protector that came when the phone shipped on the back screen. Do you use a screen protector and if not did the screen scratch easily? Is the rear screen made of gorilla glass like the front or something easier to break?

Both of the screen are supposedly made of Gorilla Glass. Personally I don't use any kind of screen protectors, and no scratches yet. I do keep good care of my device, though.
I think the best protection would be the bumber. That way you would avoid scratches from surfaces when you set your phone down, and get some protection in case you dropped your phone.
I use a screenprotector on front and back. On the back I find it improves clarity (less fuzzy) and has better grip. See here for a review. I agree with Jeopardy that a bumper is best for protection (ialso have).

Current Best S7 Edge Screen Protector?

So I had my s7 edge completely naked for a while with just a dbrand skin (stupid, I know). I eventually dropped it and after a horrible two-week process I finally have it back and fixed. I've been looking at cases and screen protectors, but the reviews are so biased it's hard to tell what's good. Currently, I'm looking at a case from "carved" (it's my first post so I can't post their link). They're very stylish but have no bumper over the screen so I will definitely need a screen protector. Obviously, tempered glass is best but there seem to be no good covers in that regard. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear what you're using on your s7 edge (both cases and screen protectors)!
I use a stilgut ultra thin flip case, I tried a plain tpu screen protector and i consider myself an expert at installation for those things and the weird corners would pull up and even 1 edge i didnt want any dirt getting under it so i use the flip case that covers the bare screen without protector.
im using this screen protector http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Curv...851711?hash=item3abf325bbf:g:e8YAAOSwYmZXDYtx and this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Poetic-Revo...hash=item236daa365b:m:meyHa-dwSsHGbglEUNxCTmA, it doesnt add alot of bulk in my opinion and feels great
Skinomi full body for me, no problem.
Using spigen ultra hybrid case
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A...tra+hybrid&dpPl=1&dpID=31aCpLMbROL&ref=plSrch
and armorsuit case friendly screen protector
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A...+armorsuit&dpPl=1&dpID=51WtCcEuicL&ref=plSrch
Several drops about 5 or 6 times mostly on ceramic surface and there is no damage what so ever to the phone nor the case.
I've just come from an S4 to an S7. I'm used to tempered glass protectors, because they're super easy to apply and give the feeling of a premium screen + that added protection. However, I was unable to find a decent tempered glass screen for the edge. The first one didn't fit properly, and left ridges which made the edge panel unpleasant to use. The second one was too thick, and the edges were being caught by my plastic Spigen case. The third felt fragile when applying it and cracked within a few days of just being in my pocket. All of the other ones were basically square and therefore the edges weren't covered at all. I gave up at that point.
I didn't want a PET film screen. I've used them for years, going all the way back to a 5800 XpressMusic, also on my S1 and my Nexus 4, and usually with horrific results. They scratch easily, they lift easily, they never tend to sit right which means you get dust patches in the corners and their light output is usually awful, especially the gloss ones. Give them a few months, and the light output will be unbearable due to the amount of scratches..
Step foward.... TPU Screen Protectors There's a guy selling two for £2.45 on eBay delivered. These things are a bloody revelation to me, I'd never heard of them until I got this phone. I can't believe people are persevering with the tempered glass screens for the Edge. These babies really are the way forward for this phone. The TPU is basically elastic which means it covers the edges perfectly, and it is thin enough not to be caught or interfered with by my case. Supposedly, the TPU is self-healing: basically light and medium scratches effectively disappear thanks to the elasticity of the plastic filling in the gaps, and I can see what they mean. A normal PET Protector for me, would usually be scratched all over by now, yet this TPU protector, you really wouldn't know that it was applied at all. It's completely spotless. No bubbles either which I've only ever achieved with tempered glass protectors. In fact, the only way you can tell this protector is applied at all, is because you can see the pre-cut holes for the camera and sensors at the top. Check out the light output too!!! The only thing that comes close is a tempered glass protector, and I would even go as far as saying this TPU one might even be better!!! (because it has less light reflection)
Tempered glass protectors maybe the hot fashion at the moment, but honestly, I don't think you can go far wrong with the TPU ones for this phone. I am aware that tempered glass protectors give a layer of impact protection too, but that's for you to decide. How many times have you smashed your screen etc? Do you really need that impact protection? If you do, would a standard TPU case be enough, or is the glass protector important....
Edit: @sa3d12 has linked to the case I'm using, the Spigen one.
Thanks all for the recommendations, this has really helped my search

The process that I went through to get my phone fixed took so long and was so horrible that I REALLY dont want to break it again and I want to make sure I have good protection. The TPU protectors look pretty cool though, and ill look for some!

I can explain this to you in full.
That's because most of us had used those TPU screen protectors for several years before the tempered glass screen protectors came out and the tempered glass screen protectors are a giant leap forward over TPU/film/wet application style screen protectors. This was before we were forced into curved edge screens. You see, before the large screen devices were basically only the Samsung Note series which all had very large screens that were flat and tempered glass screen protectors were absolutely the best option, especially using the S Pen, the TPU protectors are rubbery and there are indentations and marks left on them that doesn't happen on glass. Additionally if you ever drop your phone on it's screen with the TPU/film type protectors your screen is still trashed. I have personally had multiple phones with tempered glass screen protectors that had the protector shattered but the screen underneath was left pristine. Also the responsiveness and accuracy of the pressure sensitive spen functionality just is horrible with a film type screen protector but is perfect with glass.
With the Note 5, S6 Edge Plus people could still get a 5.5" + screen with the compatibility of a tempered glass screen protector.
Fast forward and suddenly Samsung decided that to get a 5.5-5.7 inch screen you must also get a curved edge screen starting with the S7 Edge/Note 7. So now everyone is looking for the superior look/feel/protection of the tempered glass screen protector and none of the manufacturers seem to be able to produce one that actually fits, adheres correctly and stays put without allowing dust and crap underneath them. None of them work well which is why this and many other threads like it exist. Nobody is debating the superiority of the tempered glass over the TPU screen protectors. Tempered glass is simply better in all regards. The fact you just now suddenly found a TPU screen protector and have fallen in love with it and can't figure out why we haven't all just done that is not a new paradigm. You simply missed out on years of crappy TPU screen protectors to put into perspective just how much better glass is, because getting one to fit properly was never an issue prior to 2016.
Welcome to the past. Don't drop that phone on it's screen. You'll be peeling your TPU screen protector up to reveal a smashed screen and then be like the rest of us......angry that large screen device manufacturers like Samsung have fallen in love with a mostly gimmicky non-functional curved edge screen in exchange for being robust and functionally sound.

Wow, that's some reply lol. A few things though:
-I think you're asserting that TPU protectors were the norm before Tempered Glass protectors. They weren't, certainly not in my experience. Everyone and their dog were using PET film protectors before tempered glass ones came out. I'd say those who used TPU were probably in the minority really. Tempered Glass protectors are of course the best option, but quite evidently, we're struggling to find ones that actually fit nicely.
-I am very happy with tempered glass protectors that fit, but ultimately, the ones I bought don't. I've settled for a TPU protector because it actually looks nice and feels fine.
-Dropping your phone doesn't always result in a smashed screen. If you've got a case on it, you might be lucky. I dropped my phone many a time with a PET film and it survived. That's the case for you.
Nobody forced you to buy a Samsung Edge phone dude? The standard S7 is not curved and is considered by some to be a better phone than the Edge. Or you could have had an LG G5 or the Pixel phone? Sounds like you're suffering a bit of buyers remorse here. Get an S7 and your glass protector then be happy
@skezza, fast forward 4 1/2 months, and I'm curious how your TPU screen protector is holding up. I just got an S7 Edge, and so I'm in the market for a good screen protector. Right now, Armorsuit's "self healing" TPU protectors are going for under $8, so even if it only lasts a few months, that's not a bad deal.
TIA!

So just to be clear, you decided to hop on a thread about screen protectors, basically call everyone foolish for wanting impact protection, and then suggest that we get a different phone? What?!?
Most of us chose the S7 edge because of the many hardware advantages over other phones. The curved screen was something we were willing to put up with because the hardware was so great. It's not crazy to want a tempered glass cover (which protects from scratches AND impact) to get full protection for our $500+ phone. If you've figured out a way to ensure your phone never lands on its face, then congratulations.
So, getting "an S7 and your glass protector then be happy" is not a solution. It's an asinine, unhelpful answer that doesn't provide a real solution.

Lol. I think I'll just leave this. You're clearly missing the point.
Just to add, I decided to have a look at my second TPU protector today and found the adhesive was not very sticky anymore. I wonder if these things have a shelf life?
Edit: The old fashioned fairy liquid trick didn't bring it back to life either, although it has reduced some bubbles.

Tempered glass?

LeEco Pro 3, anyone using it withou ANY screen protector?

The stock screen protector is rubbing off so I replaced it with a new one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ZTMLG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unlike the stock one, this one is the hard glass. (the stock one is a film).
The problem with this screen protector is that it is a grease/finger print magnet. Ususally I can remove the grease/finger print from the screen by rubbing it on my shirt. With this one, it just moves the finger print grease around. No my shirt is not greasy because I tried it on another phone and it didn't smear the grease around. The only way to get a clean screen is if I use a micro fiber clothe with some water. Also I noticed that my screen is not as bright as before with the new screen protector, especially when using it outdoors.
I was thinking about remove the screen protector all together. Since our phone has Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, it "should" be fine. But before I remove the new screen protector, just wondering if anyone is going bare on the screen and if they have any issues with scratched screen.
Thanks
I haven't had any screen protector on my phone since october. Screen is fine, although I haven't dropped my phone.
I have been using the same screen protector which i bought from aliexpress and i can feel the brightness problem but i am fine with it since this tmp glass removes entirely the ugly black borders from the phone.
I dont know if there is a good color tempered glass which does both.
Just removed the aftermarket screen protector today and going bare. So far it seems fine and resistant to scratches as well. It feels a lot better than the stock screen protector or the aftermarket one. It is a lot brighter and really smooth. Another thing that I noticed is that it is a lot more sensitive to the touch.
Never used any sort of screen protector on my phones. Never a single scratch.
As long as you do not put any other items in a pocket with a phone, it should be fine.
I have tried 3-4 different screen protectors and none of them seem to stick properly. They never want to stick on either (or both) the left and right sides of the screen. idk what the issue is but I've never had that problem on other phones
I'm too afraid to not use any screen protector. The camera lens scratches so easily that I don't trust the glass at all.

I Have the same problem. While the screen protector is ok and protects the phone, it catches fingerprints and the most anoying thing, outside it reflects everything and I can't see very well. I didn't find any matte or anti-glare tempered glass screen for le pro 3. Only iphone and something else. If anyone finds something good post a link please.

It has been a week now since I removed all screen protector and I am happy that I did it. It feels so much better and I can say that the gorilla glass on this is legit. I work in a warehouse and I have my keys and a box cutter in my pockets. I try to keep them away from my phone but when you are moving fast, sometimes the box cutter ends up in the same packet as my phone. So far still no scratch on the screen.
I'm still keeping mine, even if reflects everything because on my old phone covered with full cover, front and back, dropped on a corner of the screen, the screen protector took the fall and broke instead of the actual screen. So better to be cautios.
Mine came with a screen protector (X727), but I ripped it off very quickly. I haven't broken a single smartphone yet.
No screen protector since day one. No case either. Dropped it few times and cosmetic glass around camera cracked. Front screen is pristine, which is surprising since I am not careful with it.

Found these cases on Amazon that provide screen protection. I have used similar cases on other devices and have had good luck in preserving the screen without the use of a screen protector:
kw mobile canvas case
kw mobile cover shell case
Never used any screen protector on my smartphones, since my first Sony Ericson P800 years before the first iPhone were released...
Never broke the screen, had a few small scratches on some of them (not all though), and I usually keep my devices for 3 to 4 years. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 2, the screen is still perfect.
I will not put any screen protector on my Le Pro 3 either...
I was using the stock screen protector which was preinstalled until today. Sand scratched it so I removed it.

Is anyone having issues with corners of your tempered glass protectors not adhering properly? I'm getting white ghosting all around the protector. Replacement ones had the same effect...

Same problem for me.I think its because of the curve of the screen
I got the full coverage one from aliex, no problems with adhesion, but it's an awfull magnet for smudges and fingerprints, and dulls the colors of the screen, gonna run it a few days just for kicks, but I'll remove it for sure.
And oh, havent had a screen protector, not since day one, and no problems, not a scratch on my phone (I do take care of my gadgets though)

mine doesn't even cover the screen fully...baffled by this, honestly.
I removed screen protector today. Got sick of dust and other sht all around due to corners of glass not adhering properly. The phone looks much better, so far so good.
Just in case try to avoid keeping it with keys etc. Also check this .
