Suggestion for tempered glass screen protector - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I bought the OTAO screen protector for Samsung Galaxy S8. It was really easy to install, but after installation it's really hard to use the phone. It totally ruined the touch-sensitivity. I'll return this one, but I need some recommendation for a new one. It doesn't have to be the best, I need something, which works okay with the phone.
Please, let me know. Thank you.

Has anyone ever tried these screen protectors?

Ran a search but for some reason it doesn't seem anyone has ever tried these...

Wanted to get some feedback by members on this forum before purchasing. What do you guys think? Will "static attachment" mess up the screen in any way?
screen protector
you dont have a screen protector on your phone?? it shouldve came with your phone unless you got it else where. better get these
well i screwed up the one that came wit it by trying to get it perfectly on the screen, so after ripping it out over and over again i kept gettin dust on it, so i threw it away and for now i put that original one back that has the pictures on it and shows you how to tilt ur phone? u know the one that comes on it when its brand new wit "warnings" and stuff...
either way...i am about to purchase either the "Expert Shield" or the pocket solution ones and i am tryin to get some feedback on the pocket solution ones first before purchasing. as for now, i have my phone on "baby mode" and am leaving it at home
geez...no one?
Expert Shield all the way. Don't even second guess it.
Expert Shield rocks. I have used them for my Tilt and a couple of cameras. You just have be careful putting them on. It is really easy to get dust under it if your not careful. Look on eBay and you can find them for really cheap shipped from either Hong Kong or Canada. Usually around $10 - $12 shipped. They are more expensive here.
Martin Field screen protector is THE best screen protector for the kaiser.

+5 to that. i'm using them now on my tilt.
they're thick, yet flexible, have yet to show any wear from the stylus, & they haven't appeared to affect the touch sensitivity either.
It's been said by someone here that the Expert Shield protectors are just as good as the Martin Fields. He ruined one of his Martin Fields and I told him to try out ES and he said it was great.
They're a lot cheaper also.
ScreenPatronus
I recommend Screen Patronus

+5 to that. I've used InvisibleSHIELD but removed it and used ScreenPatronus instead.
PSP Screen protector
I'm using a Hiro PSP Screen protector (cut into size) covers 99.9% of the screen almost same thickness as with martin fields, but at a fraction of the price
It also doesn't affect screen sensitivity.

I second this, i got my a couple days ago. I love it, its more of a hard plastic type protector, alot better than those expensive sticky films you can buy.

I bought an Expert Shield and am VERY happpy with it. You're dead on about the dust thing and I'll add fingerprints to that list.
I did discover is that you can remove it and wash the sticky side off with warm water and a clean finger. Then pat dry lightly with lint free cloth for eye glasses. It will it go right back on just like new!!!! I did this three times in a row for fingerprints and dust that was bugging me.
Great product!!!
i would strongly recommend http://www.zagg.com/ Invisible sheild

I'm using them, and they are ok for the money. There are better ones out there like the others are stating. But for 5 bucks, not a bad buy at all.
Also try Boxwave's ClearTouch, It's a bit pricey but man... after 2 month with this thing stick on my screen, it didn't even get a single scratch on it, hard as a rock! Also perfect fit. It's also washable and after wash it with soap and put it back on to your screen it looks like brand new... Well worth the money.
Link here.
Someone here linked them before I bought them and they are garbage. They are a pain in the ass to put on the first one I put on didnt cover enough of the screen and anything off of your fingers stays on there and its very hard to clean you have to use water. Mircofiber cloth wasnt good enough. Within two weeks it bubbled up and I had to trash the 1st one. The 2nd one that came in the pack was too big and it was also did not fit well. Oh yea
I dont recommend them.
Lifetime Shield
Invisible Shield. Thats the one.
Lifetime shield
The invisible shield does have a different feel to it, but its nothing thats a show stopper. The company is good for its work, they have already replaced one due to the lack of a camera opening for my tytn 2.

Is the screen scratched???

Hi guys!
I'm just about to buy a used x10 with a pretty scratched screen...
BUT I feel that the scratches might just be on the protective film, included on the x10. But as I have never actually seen an x10, I would like to have your guys opinion on whether its the protective film thats scratched, or the actual screen
The seller sent me some pics of it... Please give me your opinion
The film is definitely still on that phone but I think that's the least of your worries. It looks like the phone was treated like crap overall.
That phone took a ton of tumbles. I'd avoid it.
X10 is supposed to have a scratch resistant screen, lord knows mine should be scratch to hell by now. But the side damage is concerning as well the screen may be cracked from the look of the pic.
Don't by unless going to use to attempt rooting experiments.
the screen looks like it still has the original screen protector on. the seller might not know this. although the sides look scratched up
this device is totally fu*ck*d don't buy it
No buy no buy.
Seriously why buy it at that type of condition?

Well if the booty and the screen is only scratched and everything else is fine (I mean the phone is fully operational). Then depending on the price (if its really cheap) I recommend that you can buy it. Afterwards you can buy a case and go through a tutorial on how to change the case. That should fix everything.
BTW make sure it is really cheap as you have to buy the case too.
if you are seriously looking to get a X10, you should just save your money and get a brand NEW one.
who knows that the dude put the phone through.
Too right.. that thing looks like it's been battered to death using a heavy object!.. stay well clear.. unless it's like £5 or something!

Screen Scratched Badly? Look at this.

If you have your screen scratch you might want to remove your shatter guard if you havent already. Its a stock fitted film on the front that is like a screen protector but it keeps the glass from flying around when you crack your screen. Sadly it scratches easy. Once you remove it, its almost like a brand new screen!

P.S.: I know this is posted in acessories its just that no one really looks there.
EDIT: THIS MAY ACTUALLY MAKE YOUR SCREEN VULNERABLE. I RECENTLY GAD MINE CRACK AFTER THIS AND IT WAS FROM LEANING LIGHTLY AGAINST A CHAIR! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Thanks for this! I have always been wondering if there was actually a screen protector preinstalled or not. Now this will settle my small arguments with my friends and family. :cyclops:

I bought a screen protector, and didn't manage to install it.
I was getting worried with the few scratches in the screen, but reading this relieved me a lot!
Thank you so much, JunDavis!
yeah , first i bought my XP , i put the screen protectors as well . after a few month the screen protector becomes thinner at the center of the screen and need to be change and i was thinking like just f**k it and go without a screen protector . and now the glass has many scratches and i feel like i want to change to a new glass and put the screen protector . after checking this thread now i noticed that there is one more layer on top of that glass and i was like thanks god and now i dont have to worry about changing screen protectors again . and sony did a good job about the screen protectors pre installed because it fits the screen too perfectly until it is hardly to notice them .

use needle with caution
I removed it as soon as I got the phone back in 2011, I will likely do the same when my Xperia Z arrives, replacing my Galaxy S3 (You have no idea how bad CM10.1 performance is on that Exynos, and Touchwiz is horrible) I love Sony's latest UI, its so stock-like its amazing, yet it looks better than Stock!
I bet most of you will agree with this but Sony phones are underrated, Samsung are overrated...

That because Samsung does not share its kernels sources = hard on developers to develop ROMs or kernels
And because of that CM team is not going to develop a CM ROM for GS 4
Guys if i remove the factory shatter guard i will have more brightness on xplay screen????
Lol, wow
When I got my Xplay, I wondered why I didnt have any protectors in the package (or I lost it) like my sister's Neo had.
I was thinking about buying a screen protector but it seems that I dont need to ^..^ thank you.
Also, if Im not reading that post totaly wrong, it does appear that XPlays screen does become slightly brighter if you remove this stock protector.

Broken screen. Need your advice please

I just got home from work and my phone dropped a short distance. It landed flat on the screen. It has a case, a spigen one, to be honest, it was more for looks, it hardly protects and the yellow surrounding part broke a while back (weak case). It landed so flat that I thought even such a thin case would protect it.
My HTC Inspire withstood far harder hits without a case.
Anyway, what's your advice? I feel like replacing the screen myself. What is a sensible price for the digitizer\screen thingies. I don't want to get ripped off. What's a good place to buy. Please help me, I hate looking at my phone like that.
Thank you
If your screen still works, then you can buy a front panel replacement for about 10 bucks. If it doesn't work, youll need to buy the screen with the digitizer, and will run you about 200

Hi,
Yes, the screen works perfectly on the broken area. Could you direct me to a suitable replacement please?

I got my AmFilm Glass screen protector installed today

For those that don’t know, these are the kind with glue. It is very easy to install as long as you follow the directions. I have been using this kind of screen protector for a while now but this is my first experience with this brand. Everything was well packaged and organized. The installation tray makes things really easy to get the protector lined up correctly. Just make sure that your screen is clean and take your time. The finger print scanner still works and everything. My Spigen Tough Armor case still fits just fine as well.
I might try one of these as well, how much did you pay for it?

It was $40 on Amazon
At first I thought the pic was of it just sitting on your phone. Looks hazy and like it's sticking up off of the screen a lot.

I have as well. Fingerprint scanner is not or miss. Makes these cases almost not an option to me.
