Hey, I asked this before but I think it was too early so figured I'd repost. Anyone have a solid solution for S8+ Tempered glass screen protector? someone commented on my last post about Best Buys Zagg screen protector but I watched a recent video and a lot of people said that the touch sensitivity is terrible with it so I'm a litty iffy on trusting it. Hopefully now that the phone has been out for a month now some people will have played around with some protectors. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yes I have a S7 since day 1 and put bestbuy's own on it and now over 1 year later never had any issues with peeling or sensitivity
price was around 25 or 30 but ad I said it's a lifetime warranty.....

Ghost Armor is likely the best option, but the corners can still start to peel up after a couple weeks. I put on a low profile case and that helps, but that leaves little drop protection.

I have the S8+ and the case I am using is the otter box commuter. So far the tempered glass I tried comes off after 2 -3days. Unfortunately the case protector corners gets under and pushes the screen protector off its so annoying !!!! I exchanged it for a new tempered glass and the same problem occurred after 3days.

I looked at reviews for the otterbox alpha glass on their website but there are so many people with 1star reviews and many many different kinds of complaints.


Does anyone have a better solution?? Can anyone recommend a display protection that will actually stay on along with great touch screen sensitivity that is compatiable with the otterbox commuter case ??


Thanks guys

I wish that were true but I already have a scratch on my screen and I'm super careful with my device, never dropped it, in my pocket with nothing else in there. I listened to someone else who said the same thing and that's what happened lol

Lol sorry to burst your bubble but it's better than you finding that out the hard way. The screen will crack/break if it falls on the cement ground trust me.

Hi, if you want a wet application, I would recommend IQShield. I had one on my s7 and it felt great. As for tempered glass, that's trickier because of case compatibility. I've tried a variety of full screen tempered glass protectors and they all fit with my Otterbox Symmetry case. I have an S8+. The only issue I've had is that dust tends to get under the protector. The PCTC tempered screen protector isn't bad and it's cheap. Dust did get under the screen, but they offered to send me a free replacement. Another plus is that the kit comes with 2 screen protectors. Another one I would like to try is the InSkin full tempered screen protector. I had one for my iPhone 7 Plus and it fit perfect. Of course, case compatibility was an issue. I used a thin Ringke case. I find none of the Spigen cases will work with a full screen tempered screen protector. The IQShield would be okay because they have full screen, case friendly options. Price is decent too but they come from the US. About $17 cdn.
